You can hear Liam Neeson cashing that check. Can't blame him with the script he was given.

Yeah that's something I really liked about fallout 3, it feels a lot more desolate and lonely than new vegas, new vegas is more like quirky adventures in the saturday morning apocalypse, fallout 3 is a lot more along the lines of poo poo being hosed up. I don't think I ever figured out all of the DC ruins, it felt so much bigger than anything in new vegas.

fallout3 and new vegas are pretty damned similar, just different settings and new vegas has a few extra mechanics. why do people hate 3 so much? i really love it as a game. i would have thought being able to skip bits by exploring was a good thing as it shows you are not bound to some linear path.

Neither of them adequately replicate the setting of the original games IMO. 3 does indeed feel like a nuclear bomb went off in it but other than that it felt gray and boring as poo poo. New Vegas was more interesting but didn't really feel post-apocalyptic. The originals were both more connected to the modern world, like how the cities mapped onto real world cities in California or the BoS were the former Army Rangers, and it had people reverting to tribal societies and like shamanism and poo poo. The Bethesda games were basically just people in a fictional gray/brown world with worn out 50s popular science guns icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 09:42 on Dec 15, 2014 |

I played New Vegas for like 10 hours, got bored to death of the endless brown/tan color palette + bad graphics + bugged out everything, and gave up on it. What people see in that game or the Fallout series as a whole is one big mystery.

I like to explore so I liked 3 more than new vegas. 3 has some weird stories just from areas you would wander into. The best ones are the ones you some what made your self. Like there is a house where two skeletons are asleep and presumably died in the blast. There was also a teddy bear factory where someone else had been there and tried to make the stuffed animals gently caress each other. They put a lot of effort into that which people I guess wanted a more linear game and so liked new vegas.

3 had un-climbable rubble piles and the complete inability to go from point A to point B on the map. New Vegas had a giant robot, a funny helperbot, and a better overall story. Then again, it also transformed the enclave from techno-librarians into religious zealot supremacists and requires you to exterminate them for the quest ending I felt was the best path.

Bethesda Games are games that people sink 100 hours into and then complain that it sucked because by hour 101 the game had become broken and unfun and didn't hold their interest anymore.

How did you get the two games confused. New Vegas had literal walls of rock that channeled you in directions or a giant river. Go look for a height map, you can see the story line path because there are giant unclimable messes between them. It legit had invisible walls in the middle of the map. 3 was almost a field in comparison.

3 was a big field with ruins in the corner and a bunch of landmarks randomly scattered across the rest of the map with no rhyme or reason. That made it good for "point in random direction and go" exploring, but it was lousy at making a believable world.

3 and new vegas clump into one inseparable mess in my brains recollection whenever i try to think about them. kinda enjoyed them both, nv had cooler dlc like the pitt but all in all theres very little to distinquish them its kinda good that they haven't annualized releases of fallout, they skipped like two years now, right?

The Fallout 3 team did Skyrim, and they're probably doing Fallout 4. like i said its a good thing, the last thing i want is them to release a new fallout every year and end up with ubisoft's bland nonsense in their games. yes, they're probably working on it, and its a good thing they took two years so far. as far as i'm concerned they should consider taking two more and just really giving the game some charm because skyrim was pretty lacklust in my opinion.

It's so weird how I feel that 3 had worse channeling than new vegas, and most think the opposite. Maybe it's because I live in the DC area and the inability to walk from one metro station to another really frustrated me because my destination was literally on the other side and I just wanted to walk overland without going through half-a-dozen monster-infested metro stations to get there. Whereas new vegas definitely had the annoying fence around vegas and some canyons but I didn't feel deliberately hampered, mostly because I was guided along the "recommended" path via storylines.

The DC ruins are definitely a labyrinth and getting from point A to B is hellishly complicated, but I kinda liked that, it made the whole DC area hostile in ways other than just monster difficulty, because it took a long time to get through, made the place feel really big and gave you a good feeling of burrowing your way through tunnels in a completely wrecked city. I wish other bBethesda games had that kind of exploration feeling to them. The whole area feels like one gigantic dungeon.

i finished 3 and never got past halfway in new vegas so 3 is clearly the better game. HOWEVER i also bought the dlc for both and never played either so the dlc must be horrible

The Bethesda games were basically just people in a fictional gray/brown world with worn out 50s popular science guns I was raised in Vegas and New Vegas actually does a really good job of mapping onto the real world. The distances are obviously pretty condensed but all of the towns and landmarks are where they should be in relation to each other, and I even learned about a few places in the region that I wasn't aware of before and could find them in real life just based on playing the game. I've never been to DC so I have no idea how 3 compares, but 1 and 2 just kind of throw their locations over the top of former California cities. I don't think that's really more connected to the modern world at all.

Has anyone here bought Dead State? I know it's buggy as hell (but then again so was Wasteland 2), but I like the concept (survival management) and limited horror setting (ie only zombies and people). I couldn't find a thread for it anywhere here. I mean it's only $30 so it's not like a huge investment.
