Fallout 4 is a little more than I'm willing to pay right now, so /v/ I ask you this: Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas?
New Vegas with DLC for gameplay
Fallout 3 for story
also what are they $10 each now? do both
>>321672405
They're both like 2.50 on steam right now just get both familia
New Vegas is far better then 3. Some people prefer it over 4.
This your first day here?
New Vegas is a much better game and like 90% of /v/ prefers NV

>Fallout 3 for story
New Vegas make up for the lack of "muh great story" with great characters and companions.
Fallout 3 is has a mediocre story and mediocre characters.
>>321672405
Get both and get the tale of two wastlands mod.
Also think about downloading Fallout: Rust if you want a challenge.
>>321672552
>Fallout 3 for story
>/v/ for videogames
New Vegas or Skyrim
>>321672405
just torrent it
>>321672405
do this >>321672983
the complete editions for both are only like 5 bucks on steam right now
>>321673145
Apple or rotten orange
New Vegas > 4 >>> 3
>>321672405
fallout 3 was thought as a shooter where you can explore shit
New vegas was thought as a rpg with guns where you can explore a post apocalyptic world with interesting story with dark humor
You'll a more "fallout experience" from new vegas, since it was written by the nerds who made the other ones
>>321672405
New Vegas entirely.
get BIG IRON ON HIS HIP
>>321672405
Never before realized that the New Vegas cover guy was sad.

>Fallout 3 for story
Sure, if Tommy Wisaeu is your idea of a great writer. Fallout 3 is possibly the worst story ever written. And I'm exaggerating. The main plot that the Wasteland is dying of thirst and dirty water is not ever once explored. No-one in the wasteland aside from Karma vending hobbos mention it, in buiding there is water spewing out of pipes, and the filtration system causes more damage than the much more simple and well method of filtration: FUCKING DIRT.

Okay, now stick FO4 in there.
Would FO3 of done better if it didn't take fuckforever to get anywhere?
NV is better trust me
>>321672405
All of New Vegas' biggest problems are things that carried over from 3, it's a direct upgrade.
I just noticed steam says Fallout 3 isn't optimized for Windows 7, how concerned about that should I be?
>>321672552
Thought about getting both, but also trying to control myself and not buy too many games
>>321672757
How much would I be missing out on not getting the dlc?
>>321673205
But CODEX is infected with a keylogger
>>321674050
Don't get 3. Problem solved.
>>321674050
I remember the game randomly crashing with Windows 7 (BSOD), however this was fixed easily modifying a .txt, i don't remember what to modify tho.
Fallout 3 doesn't work if you don't have XP/Vista, BUT if you buy BOTH there's a cool mod that lets you play Fallout 3 INSIDE OF Fallout New Vegas and you can even travel between the worlds and use Fallout New Vegas mods (which has a better modding community do to being hip with the online kids).
>>321672405
Definitely get NV Ultimate Edition if you have to choose between the two.
>>321672405
New Vegas is probably superior in every way that matters
>>321674392
I get crashes when I go into any DLC with a lot of scripting at the start, like Honest Hearts or Point Lookout. Any way to fix that other than giving quests/teleporting in?
Ok, looks like I'm getting New Vegas. Thanks for the info.
>bought a physical copy of Fallout 3 this summer
>play it for 30 minutes and drop it for a few months
>decide to install it again because fallout 4 hype
>the cd's corrupted
The fuck? I mean I'm not really complaining since it was 3$ but still
