Which of these 8.5 games is better? and why?

what? fallout got a 9.

Unless I'm mistaken didn't Fallout 3 score 9.0?

FO3 is only 8.5 on the PS3 and thats because of performance issues/bugs so its not really a fair comparison.

Strictly choosing between the 2 titles tho, I much prefered FO3. Thats not to say i disliked RE5, quite the contrary actually. I just really really enjoyed FO3.

Fallout 3 or Resident Evil 5. Its very hard to pick between them, they were both great, but fallout 3 might have been the best fallout game made and RE5 was not the best RE ever made.YankeesNYC4life

i am unbiased when i say his since i got 1000/1000 and 1550/ 1550 on both those game on pc. resident evil 5 is so much better.

i dont like fallout 3, the graphics are not good(yes im talking about the pc version) i did not enjoy it , i think it is overhyped.

resident evil 5 on the other hand looks OUTSTANDINg when maxed out. it is a truely amazing looking game on the pc. gameplay wise it is ok fun , resident evil 4 was better tho.

my vote goes to resident evil 5.

Fallout 3, even though it got a 9.0.

I really didn't like RE5. The bosses were unintimidating, it wasn't scary, and your AI partner is a dumbass you cant get rid of. However, I'm a fallout 3 lover. I've played the f*** out of that game and still play it occasionally just to murder marauders. The only other RPGgames i like more are the Fable series!

RE5 is really fun if, and only if, you have a friend to play with. Mercenaries especially was very fun.

I'm not sure an 8.5 is a reasonable score for that game, but maybe the reviewer was a loner with no friends?

Stalker: Shadow of Chernoybl is the best 8.5 game. :)

Fallout 3. Its since been patched anyway

If you have friends RE5. If you don't, still RE5 :P

Re5 is garbage. even if Fallout got a 5 it would have been the way to go

Can I choose neither? Both garbage. fastr

I'm looking in to picking this game up cheap, so is the 360 version significantly better, or is the difference practically non-existant? I want to buy it for PS3 but I don't want to feel like I'm missing a significantly better experience.

Well, I played Fallout 3 on PC and RE5 on 360, so the comparison isn't fair at al. But Fallout 3 is a much better game with a massive game world. RE5 had an awful story but very solid co-op. If I had to rate them on single player only, I'd have to knock RE5 down to about 7.5 or 7.

That's great! I'll pick it up after I finish Kayne and Lynch 2!

I would say Alan Wake deserves better than 8.5 but you didn't list that one!

Have to go with RE5, had a blast with co-op and loved trying to get everything i could in that game.

Stalker: Shadow of Chernoybl is the best 8.5 game. :)

I did't really enjoy either of those games. I'll go with with Resident Evil 5 though because it was at least decent enough for me to be even bothered to finish it.

Fallout3 is better than Res5 any day. But then again, i only played the 9.0 version :P

Fallout 3 is the better game and the DLC is actually better than the game itself you cant go wrong with that purchase unless you just dont like RPG/FPS combos.

RE5, the glitches on the console versions aren't worth it.

They both weren't that great to me. But, RE5 had better gameplay and was at least shorter, so the pain wasn't as long lasting.

Id rather play RE5. From what ive seen, it looks really awesome at what it does.

I was going to make a thread on the PS3 board but ill just ask it here.

Ive been looking for RE5 gold edition for a while and its now insanely expensive. So ive decided to go with RE5 standard and just download the extra content from PSN. Looking at it i got a little confused. Exactly what do i need to purchase to get the gold content? I doubt manypeople play versus so i wont get that.

I enjoyed RE5 alot more then Fo3. Fallout 3 was so boring to me that I just gave up on it. I played it for about 12 hours but something about the game just never clicked with me.

Can't comment properly on RE5, however I hear how disappointing it is compared to RE4.skrat_01

I enjoyed both games thoroughly, and I actually just finished RE5 with a buddy of mine (running further and further behind on releases :cry: ) so it's fresh in my mind.

RE5 has some fantastic visuals, some good (and not so good) combat, and a thin story. Not the best in the series by a long shot.

Fallout 3 had pretty meh graphics (though it has a massive world rendered in detail), decent combat with a couple ways to play, and a better story than RE5, which doesn't say much. It isn't widely regarded by those familiar with the series as the best, or even close.

Thing is, I spent 3 evenings playing through RE5. Maybe 8ish hours total. I spent over 110 hours on FO3 and still hadn't fully explored the map or purchased any of the DLC. That 'bang for your buck' factor puts FO3 ahead to me when I'm looking to buy a game (assuming they're equally priced).

Fallout 3 was aleast playable.The AI is braindead in RE5 and it made it unplayable for me, everytime I tried to kill the chainsaw guy she would just run into him and get killed over and over again....

fallout 3 isn't the best in the series, but it's still miles better than that POS RE 5.

Zack & Wiki is the best 8.5 game.
