So Fallout 3 is objectively the best Fallout in the Fallout franchise.

Why is this? Surely 4 is better?

Because it came out first so it made the biggest impact, NV is just the same exact shit in a desert with food, 4 is fallout 3.5 with prettier graphics but essentially it's still just a Bethesda gamebryo open world game, if you've played one of them you've already played all of them.

Because lots of casual retards wanted an open world post apocalyptic game and Fallout 3 just came along at the right time.

Nobody who thinks Fallout 3 is the best actually gives a shit about Fallout as a series. It could have been any generic post apoc RPG and it would have done well at that particular time.

I get triggered every time someone says this shit.

Just like complaints about the map railroading you it's only a revenge plot if you want it to be. The game gives you plenty of options that aren't related to revenge for your reasons to confront Benny.

Hell it's possible to beat the game without even seeing Benny after the opening cutscene.

i agree with him. it's literally impossible to role play in a game where there's no decisions and everything scales to you. in new vegas, you're an agent in a real world. in 3, you're the puppet master and everything is relative to what you want to do and everything revolves around you.

So why is it that all the people who say 3 is better than NV forget to mention that you can actually go north and do whatever you want, rather than go through Primm like the game supposedly railroads you into doing?

Is it because they're all so terrible at videogames that they can't even figure out how to manipulate the mechanics in their favor and sneak past a few difficult enemies?

The only reason FO3 looked like it was 50 years after the bombs and not 200 is because the area was overrun by super mutants before the BoS showed up.

Actually in Fallout 4 the map is scaled from north to south.

I tried buffing my level up to 250 before I left the vault for the first time and sure enough everything near the Vault was around level 1.

So, am I the only one who thinks FO4 is better than 3 or NV?

>>319895518
What the fuck is wrong with you. Scaling ruins all immersion. When I get megaopmaxlvl I wanna feel like it. If everything scales with you, what is the point of leveling? Why not remove the system altogether?
Also without level scaling you can have even more of a challenge by taking on shit much higher level than you. Fighting that first lvl 7(or 8) wraith was a blast at level 1 in the witcher 3.

>>319895913

Not the person you're replying too, but getting to that max level and being able to instantly railroad every enemy gets boring real fast. Besides, you can still feel like a God with level scaled enemies as long as your armor and weapons are good. That way, it makes the materials, armor, and weapons you scavenge important which is the way it should be for a Fallout game.

Even though this map is b8, I always get triggered when I see people saying that you can head off anywhere in Fallout 3, whereas you're railroaded in NV.

You can go wherever the fuck you want in New Vegas, it's just that some areas are harder than others.

Nice bait. Also, they travel in packs and move ungodly fast, so even if you cripple the wings of one in VATS the others will wreck your shit before your AP regenerates. Also, when you're at such a low level, it takes more than one grenade to cripple the wings.

Fallout 3 was a fres/new interpretation of the Fallout Series and had a lot of content and awesome gameplay.
New Vegas: Everyone was bored of it, because it was too similar to Fallout 3 and felt like an addon. People played Fallout 3 so much, they could not see it anymore. It was played out. And New Vegas was simply to similar.

Fallout 4 was / is a HUGE letdown because everything is dumbed down and EVEN MORE mainstreamy as 3 and NV.
