Would someone who didn't like Oblivion like Fallout 3?

I played Oblivion awhile back, at least 10-20 hours or so. I just didn't like it very much, besides the Dark Brotherhood questline. I'm pretty interested in Fallout 3 now, and I keep getting constant recommendations for it, so I'm just wondering if I'd enjoy it or not, any thoughts?

Yes, My brother would not touch oblivion but played through fallout 6 times

who does not like oblivion

yea if u didnt like oblivion there is a chance you will like fallout 3. i couldnt get into oblivion, but i tried fallout 3 and it was one of the best games i ever played.

i guess i feel opposite of most here. i thought oblivion was an awesome game and i just couldnt get into fallout, though i may not have given it much of a chance. only played maybe 20 or so hours before shelving it.

Oblivion was the second game I purchased for my 360, because I wanted something with a long story(rpg)... I'm not a fan of the genre but I was willing to give the game a try... after a couple weeks I just sold it for Madden(which I then sold for CoD4) because it just wasn't for me... I want to play Fallout 3 but my cousin holds that game at all times, he's like gollum with that game

Does he say things like "My precious...no ones touches my precious!" and tries to tear the throat out of anyone who tries to play the game? Or walk around on all fours? Or both? That would be definitely be a sign he's become another Gollum.

Anyway, seriously. Obvilion looked good, but it wasn't to everyone's tastes. Mostly since it tended to be boring and slow paced, but it's still popular with many. I like it, but I have to admit that it did tend to get a little long in the tooth.
Fallout 3 is almost the same thing, but with differences like being set in the future of an alternate Earth where the 50s ideal of life in the US didn't exactly come to a nice end when the third world war was declared.

The game can be a little depressing, you'll find out why in some of the few intact houses you can enter, but at the same time it can grip you and keep you playing just to see what happens next or what other location you'll find.

It's got a reasonable challenge as well, the Deathclaws can be a right vicious fight. It's worth getting, though if you can try it before you buy it and see what you think, that might help.

Fallout 3 was a great game but some of the best moments I've had with it weren't in the main storyline but with the alternate quests, just like Oblivion. I'd say u can get into Fallout 3 since it is quite different from Oblivion. I personally loved both but I am a sucker for RPG games ;)

Im not really a fan of Oblivion but I loved Fallout 3.

My friend who likes oblivion hates fallout so maybe...just in reverse

I personally didn't like Oblivion, got very bored of it. Fallout 3 is a completely different game and loved the game.

Personally the guns in Fallout 3 add a whole new aspect and especially the VATS system (decapitation for the win). I've only played fallout 3 for like a few hours (so don't take my advice seriously) but the world is so barren it just seems boring. In oblivion it was cool that you were in this lively world. All in all you will be alone again to traverse through miles of land. In fallout you walk super slow... which kinda sucks there's no horseback or anything.

It's a great game though and you definately could like it more than Oblivion because while it's the same there's enough different to set it apart.

i hated oblivion but i love fallout 3 it's probly my favriote game at the moment

I beat Oblivion to completion, well at least the main quest, though it did get repetitive and occasionally boring i did enjoy it. Fall out 3 i got fed up with because the combat seemed very lame. Enemies took too many bullets to kill and there were always too many of them, the quests weren't very engaging. They are similar games in look and feel, but they are very different too.

haha i am i bit weird with these two games. i never played morrowind and loved oblivion, played the first two fallouts and really didn't enjoy fallout 3.

i would just rent it out and figure your own opinion out about it.

yes fallout 3 is amazing

i bought oblivion when it first came out, put over 100 hours into it doing every quest, including shivering isles but couldnt get into Fallout 3 as much. Played through it once (the main quest at least and some side ones) but returned it after a week.

Well fallout 3 is boring to me

I'm tempted to try fallout but VATs looks so horribly dumb to me. I liked oblivion, but single player games are hard for me, they are just so lonely.
