Seriously? Fallout 3 was good, no doubt, but it doesn't hold a candle to Red Dead Redemption. The main quest line was much more compelling, where as in Fallout I could really care less about what happened.

Both are superb games & I think Red Dead Redemption is a great game in all aspects, but I enjoyed & got in more hours with Fallout 3.

Fallout 3 Was One Of Those Games That Too Me Was More About The Gameplay Than The Story, Especially If You Do All Of The Side Quest And Go For All The Achviments/Trophies. If You Do That Then The Game Lasts Forever.

Even if you are playing Fallout for the gameplay and not the story, Red Dead Redemption still beats it by far. It's pretty much a pain in the arse to play Fallout without having to use VATS, whereas the gameplay/gunplay in Red Dead Redemption is easy and fun.

These games are completely different. I would go with Fallout 3, but I haven't played RDR.

Its Easy Because The Game Basiclly Aims For You. Don't Get Me Wrong I Like RDR But Fallout 3 Is More Of A Challenge, More Fun, And Just All Around A Better Game.

Fair enough. In RDR's defense I could say that it is more fun, and all around a better game. Not sure why, but it just seems like in Fallout 3 that it's obvious I'm playing a game, like - it just feels robotic or something, I can't take that game seriously.

RDR feels much more realistic, and immersive, I guess.

Yeah man first thing I did was turn auto aim off, do this for all games that is preset & has option available. Can't believe you criticize a game because you failed to hit the options menu.

Im Not Judging It On That One Reason, Im Just Comparing RDR And Fallout 3 (Even Though Its Almost Immpossible) Plus It Is A DeFault Setting, And Most People Don't Change A Game Off Of It's DeFault Settings.

Fallout 3 is much better. RDR becomes one of those types of games where it's a chore to finish because all the missions feel the same and are so repetitive. And I didn't like the characters in RDR besides the guy you play as.

Thr game basically aims for you isn't a positive for a game. Everyone I know always makes sure auto aim is turned off regardless if its the default setting.

I hate when people ask these kinds of "which of these two totally different games are better than the other"; why not keep it like "what's better Oblivion or Fallout 3... GTA IV or Red Dead Redemption?".

RDR overall. Fallout 3 has a lot of points wich can improve. RDR is already epic, well... reviews are there for a reason.

Not really similar minus the "open-world" exploration, but I much prefer Fallout 3. RDR is good, but I'm just not that thrilled with it. I personally think it's an 8-8.5 game. Fallout 3 is a 9 for me.

Well, that didn't really answer my question...

And to my knowledge, both the games use a form of aiming for you, Fallout with VATS and RDR just with autoaim - both of which are optional.

yodaddyninja

all the missions felt the same? i must have been playing a different game then you, the missions seemed quite varied to me. the characters and dialogue in RDR is way better than fallout also imo.

for me, red dead redemption wins by a landslide...

Why must everything "vs." each other. Can't we all just get along?

On topic... Red Dead Redemption. The majority of my time with Fallous 3 was spent navigating around chunks of debris. Not my idea of a good time.

Plus the ending of Red Dead Redemption was pretty cool (for a video game, please don't point out 50 examples of the same story being done better in literature and cinema).

If you can't compare two things just because they are different you have issues.

It basically comes down to this.... which do you enjoy playing more? Which game would you rather have be your last game forever if every other game in existence melted off the face of the planet? Or if you were stranded on a desert island?

Which game made you shout, "HOLY CRAP, I AM SO GLAD I SPENT $60 ON THIS DONKEY!!!"

With that knowledge, now everyone can cast their votes a little more accordingly...

I would prefer to be left with Fallout 3. Ain't nothin better than blowing some jockey's head off with a sawed off at close range and then manipulating a couple of corpses into some positions that definitely aren't PG-13...

Hmmm.... desert island...

My fingers look like chicken fingers.... soooo hungry....

In my opinion Fallout 3. Although you really can't compare games that are so different.
