Fallout 3 had an actually atmospheric wasteland, New Vegas' was just stupidly overpopulated and it doesn't make sense that people can grow plants in a Fallout game. How is there even non-irradiated water? /v/ just adores New Vegas because 3 is too mainstream.

I thought it was fun and exciting, and the fallout universe already had lots of stupid bullshit in it that was semi-canon/canon. There were aliens in fallout 1 and 2, semi-canon Doctor Who references, and all sorts of nerdy shit.

Who gives a shit if Fallout 3 full blown embraces science fiction? It was fun.

I liked 3 more. New Vegas was too much open barren wasteland or weird ass themed areas that only had 1 or 2 points of entry where the whole scene changed (the red valley with those yurt nerds, that city in the north in the mountain or something). Something about it I just didn't like.

Gonna go with 3 just based on the fact that the world was immediately open as soon as you got out of the vault.

New Vegas tried to tie me to a story that I didn't really care about, albeit an open world, hazards and obstacles were made specifically to make you follow the story.

The game play of NV was better, for sure, but I just enjoyed having the option to walk around and discover without being automatically jerked to follow the story.

Let me guess, you're going to over exaggerate how difficult it is to purify water.

Water itself can't be irradiated. It's the shit in the water that is irradiated. Filtering or distillation is sufficient to produce potable water.

The pain in the ass bit comes in having a facility large enough to do this and supply farms with useable water. Something a town or city might have.

People today call this a water treatment plant.

>all these samefags

If FONV came out before Fo3, all these Fo3 lovers would probably be drooling for FoNV nostalgia over Fo3.

FONV really got mulled over just from the fact that it had not been the first *modern* fallout game to draw the attention of new fans of the series and that it also used the same engine as F3, (Not to mention shorter development time)

These arguments/threads are always so silly because you can interchange both games and they'd probably have opposite outcomes depending on which would come out first. Both are great games that followed different goals, and respectively achieved them

(Fo3 introduced a ton of new fans to the series, through a well-known development studio. FoNV created a spiritual successor to the previous games with developers from the older studio, which many old school fans appreciated in terms of story & lore)

You can boot up FO3 without mods, to this day and have it crash and freeze on you, have NPCs fall through the game world and become unaccessable, among other potentially game breaking bugs. You can boot up the functional equivalent of NV without mods today and it will run perfectly fine. To try and argue otherwise is a blatant lie, and quite frankly shitposting.

Try running FO3 with all its DLC and no mods and compare it to running NV with all its DLC and no mods.

3 has an interesting world, awful mechanics, and fucking awful dialog with a shitty story. NV has a slightly less interesting world which starts to deteriorate once you get to Vegas, better mechanics though still hindered by Bethesdas shitty engine, good dialog and a decent story that has LOADS of unfinished content.

Neither are perfect games, though NV can be somewhat more enjoyable. It's a lot harder to ignore everything else in FO3 except for exploring and not talking to people. Especially when you get to places like LL and Big Town.
It's all so incredibly stupid.

>atmospheric wasteland

The strip and fee side had more atmosphere than anything in FO3, the metro was fucking horrible, the D.C. Ruins felt like walking through a maze, and I wanted to side with the enclave, but you are literally forced to go white knight and you get one final decision at the end that only impacts a few cutscenes.


With NV your decisions actually had an impact, and I do agree that the Courier has no backstory and is not even a well written character, I mean he didn't have to chase Benny why didn't he just go back to the express? But besides that NV was so much better, it had more variety and I though the factions system was pretty good, considering its fallout

Fallout New Vegas had more fallout lore, which is fine for people who like lore.

Fallout 3 had less lore but more to do. No endless money gun shop, much more interesting locations and a better hub city of DC than Vegas.

And if I had a dollar for every time I was told to play NV I would be fucking rich. Fallout 3 is the better game, hands down. Less hand holding, more exploring and doing fun things to do. Better DLC too

>Story in the past about constructing a casino for people to enjoy but the owner has to do some horrible background deals with the Think Tank to acquire the special security tech he's after. One of the conditions is using the casino as a testing ground for the Cloud. Sinclair spends a bare minimum on the Villa and redistributes all of the workers outgoings to him. Meanwhile the workers themselves get sick from the Cloud and the bulky green hazard suits are ordered in. Vera Keys gets trapped and everyone in the casino is killed by the holograms. Vera decides to overdose on stimpacks and Sinclair dies in the vault. The workers go insane and start wandering the streets. The casino is perfectly preserved.

Then the story in the present is about Elijah coming in with squads of greedy people he captured. He finds out they will betray each other to claim what's in the casino's vault so he decides to attach bomb collars to them. You meet up with a super mutant named Dog, a Brotherhood Scribe Christine and Dean Domino, Vera Keys former friend now ghoulfied who has been wandering the Villa for 200 years trying to enter the vault. Each of the characters has a history that links to other parts of the game. You eventually find your way into the casino's vault while uncovering the history of the Madre and find out Elijah's plan to use the holograms and the cloud as an unstoppable army to wipe NCR off the map but manage to lock him in the vault, save all 3 companions and walk out of there with gold bars worth 500,000 in caps

This seemed like a pretty good story to me. Maybe using the casino as a weapon is a bit farfetched but uncovering what happened in the past and seeing how everything came to be as it was when you visited the casino was just fantastic.

Yes, exploring the metro tunnels for the nth time is so thrilling.

>>265355347
3's level design was pretty good, reminded me of Morrowinds mountainous geography that hid a lot of different locations. There were a lot of invisible walls though (aka conveniently placed rubble), not to mention the subways were terribly copy pasted.

Obviously since you're traversing the desert in NV, it's going to seem less interesting. But tell me with a straight face that seeing the distant lights of Vegas miles and miles away didn't get you hyped. Then you finally got there and realized how much consoles fucked this game over.

The Strip was underwhelming but how does that equate to NV having a "less interesting world"? NV actually had interesting factions and political dynamics. 3 had hurr durr Enclave and hurr durr white knighting BoS.

Yes, NV sucked in its own way, so did Fo3.

I've played both on consoles and like 3 better.
Although I will admit on PC New Vegas is a really fun experience, especially with mods.

>>
>>265356000
This is all from memory:
Yes. The cloud was made of some kind of metal, and was not only highly toxic but actually bound the ghost people to their suits, which were designed to protect them from it. (which is why God says it smells of old world money)

So the ghost people are basically feral ghouls, but who were also stuck for years in these pseudo-hazmat suits unable to talk or eat, which understandably drove them more than a little bit insane.

Hahahahaha don't give me that shit. Freeside was literally just a few run down buildings with elvis impersonators. The "Strip" was so tiny it was hardly worth even mentioning in terms of atmosphere. It was very underwhelming to be honest.

The worst offender though was Primm. Oh my God Primm. What a useless town.
The Republic of Dave had 1000 times more "atmosphere" than most of the small towns on the outskirts of New Vegas. And that was just ONE of the many towns that had some wonky ass wasteland system to them
>>
>>265356431
Yes, now that you mention it.

I think (again from memory, I might be wrong) that that's because the suits were like the trauma harnesses in OWB. I'll need to look it up, though.
>>
Definitely New Vegas. I don't think 3 was bad like a lot of you guys do, though.
>>
>>265355943
I think fucking everyone admits that Vegas was a disaster.

>>265356096
You're right, I should have stated what I meant more clearly. I was talking more about the geography of the world. In 3 you've got an entire city you can see from miles away, miles of ruined suburbs, as well as a less populated wilderness region with farms and churches scattered around. There always seemed like there was more to do.

With the exception of the much better vaults in NV, all you could really see was Vegas, and that was about it. Sure you had the occasional settlement and for the most part all the factions you met stayed true to the original games, but it did seem to have a lot less discovery involved.

>>265356000
The Cloud is not a natural occurrence; it is an artificially created toxin produced in Big MT not long before the war. It was deployed in the Sierra Madre as part of a greater experiment, using the casino and the Villa as testing grounds - with Sinclair fully unaware of this. The hazmat suits worn by the ghost people were a follow up experiment to the Cloud, something many researchers in Big MT found disturbing. It is also pointed out in terminals at the Big MT research facilities that Sinclair was aware of the experimental state of the suits, but not of the Cloud.

So I think the Cloud was extremely hazardous to ordinary unprotected humans but if you shove them in the Hazmat suits they won't die from it but will eventually go insane and become the Ghost people. It preserves things unnaturally.

I don't know what the Think Tank were trying to achieve with it.

You are literally pants on head retarded. You clear some trivial, poorly written side quest in each area (except for LL which is actually a mandatory story location) and then never return.

If that's what you want to think. I'll not bother arguing with your obviously shit taste.

Jesus Christ. The thing that made them memorable was how they were all so different from one another. No one location was ever the same. In attitude they were basically all like their own unmarked factions.

New vegas was fucking lazy and decided just to put "Prospector" or "wastelander" in every single location with the same exact dialogue on news shit that was happening in the Mojave.

It's a tough question, neither one is perfect, and both have some things that are better than the other. New Vegas has the sweet Hardcore mode, and perks based on how many kills you make, but it's buggier than FO3. FONV also has companions... i think it comes down to which setting you like better, since they are so different aesthetically.

Still don't get how people can count the new Fallouts as anything more than an elder scrolls reskin, with shoe-horned superficial mechanics.

The Vicki and Vance casino does actually re-open after law is brought to Primm, in about 3 days I believe. And the prospectors move around the town after you clear it and bring law to the town.
>>
>>265358757

To be fair, that only happened because Bethesda rushed the fuck out of Obsidian to get the game done. Had they been allowed the same amount of time that was spent on 3, New Vegas would be superior in every regard.
