It is. I think the only thing I really prefer in F3 is the setting, which means a lot to me. The Wasteland is way more interesting than the Mojave.
This.
Also don't listen to Longo over hyping new vegas. Yes, New vegas is better them fallout 3, no, you'll still have a fun time with fallout 3. Yes, the New Vegas sales deal is better then fallout 3, no you shouldn't dismiss fallout 3 because of it. Stop making it a contest when both games can be bought for like 10 bucks now. They are both classics now and they are both great!
Look do it like me and always treat these two game differently and you'll see both games got their good and they both got their bad. Just look at the intro for example. One has a beginning which pretty much introduce the world you are about to go in while growing as a child to adult and having an attachment with the macguffi... huh your father. While the other game's beginning is "
Here's a magical bracelet i had lying around. Off you go now!"
Yeah yeah i know... just place your image there for your character then fill in the gaps but then you hardly get any motivation to finish the game other then REVENGE! With Fallout 3, once you go out of vault 101 you get culture shocked as your eyes adjusts from the utopic like dark vault to the bright reality of the wastelands. Your only guide? Your father who just might be out there... alive somewhere.This is a recurring theme in past fallout as you were always the outsider to this new desolated world, from the guy who never knew of the outside world or to the reclusive tribe-man. You already had a backstory and a motivation to go out before you even set foot in the first town. The only gap you had to fill was what came next. In freakin' new vegas, you only get a prolong cutscene, a Rorschach test and a vague sense of a mission. At best, that one DLC with (the very awesome) Ulysse did give you some sort of dialogue options to know a little more about yourself but it's a little too late for the cultured shock sentiment since you already know what the world is like out there by the time you even meet him...
Oh and they stole the SAME freaking eye adjustment lighting effect after you go out the doc wooden room! You grew up there, this is your home already. You are already a renown courier!
It's not the same! :evil:
Ahem, like i said both good game. Back on topic, I'd rather have Fallout 4 go back to the fallout 1 and 2 roots then mimic Fallout 3 or new vegas. Heck, i won't mind another fallout tactics. Give me something new! I got enough of winks and nudge of a better game they seem to be trying to ripoff.
You know, the games back when Fallout felt good and unique... and not a buggy mess with broken game mechanics you had to tolerate to enjoy the story.
As for the setting? Hmmm... I won't mind if we go back south like they did in that one cool Fallout 3 DLC. Or heck, i won't mind if they drop the U.S setting and try somewhere else completely. Canada? Mexico? Why not.
