I agree that Fallout 3 has a better atmosphere and the map is more densely populated with things to explore as far as I can tell thus far but the plot and side quests are what make these type of games to me. New Vegas is definitely outshining Fallout 3 in that department thus far

For me, it comes down to the vibe and atmosphere. Fallout 3 feels post-apocalyptic. Style-wise, they nailed it.

New Vegas is bright and colorful. Never gave me a feeling of fear or dread.

You could try playing DUST Survival Simulator

It’s basically a total game overhaul, and instead of quests; the only objective is to survive.

Made by the same mod author, there’s DUSTy Weather which only adds the weather effects from DUST without all the gameplay changes. There’s also Apocalyptic Mojave which adds more raiders to the world and fortifies existing settlements. Those two combined are essentially a budget DUST, they bring the apocalyptic feel that you’re looking for, but keep almost everything intact.

Just shop around for mods until you’ve made a combination that you like.

Fallout 4 is definitely the way to go. The amount of stuff you can do in that game is mind-boggling and mods are now available on the console versions.

I agree that Fallout 3 sets a way better atmosphere and I think it also has a better story. Fallout: New Vegas has a nice blue sky and everything has colour rather than a green tint. It shouldn’t even be a debate though because they’re all great.

I tried playing the original fallout games because I got them on the cheap on steam but I didn’t really get into them.

I’m probably not going to play Fallout 4 seeing as how there are limited ways you can complete quests. I want complexity in my Fallout experience and that’s why New Vegas is so enthralling to me. Gameplay and atmosphere don’t mean much as it pertains to games like this.

While I don’t truly understand your pain I can sympathize and appreciate it. Lucky we have a 3 day weekend coming up

I’m going to assume that wasn’t sarcasm as to not make myself sadder than I already am.

Nope, not sarcasm. I meant it.

I’ve noticed a lot of people here would see a criticism like that and get all pissy about it, instead of understanding where it is coming from.

Yeah, as I am getting older I am learning about making sacrifices and even now I can’t even imagine giving up so much time as to barely being able to squeeze in a 1/2 hour of television. I hope if I ever have kids that I’ll have such a mental state that makes allocation of time like that viable.

So I finally decide to watch some COD Infinite Warfare gameplay and jesus, it makes Black Ops 3 look like COD 3.

A bad game made a worse game look like an even worse game?

Basically it makes the previous game look good by comparison. COD3 was also a good game, except for those Quick Time Events, fuck them.

I enjoyed the first CoDs and enjoyed COD4 (and was really decent at the MP in there) and the campaigns for CoD2 and 3. I have absolutely zero interest in this goofy “near future” stuff floating around now, so I’ve not played any of the games since then.
