Official Fallout: New Vegas topic

Well thats True but the location was easier to navigate plus some locations like repcon test site were pretty post apocalyptic

[Gyaos]

1 or 2 places compaired to Fallout 3's dozens? Fallout 3 felt alot more like Fallout than New Vegas did.

[daftfalloutgoji]

That is also true but you have to admit fallout nv had some good locations

[Gyaos]

It did, but most of them where in the DLCs.

Question What is your favorite unique weapon

[Gyaos]

From what I remember, Mercy was pretty beast. Shame I never got the chance to get her repaired though =(

[daftfalloutgoji]

I found a new weapon today called the CZ57 Avenger Minigun

[Godzillatheultimate]

Duke NUkem is next to that gun. Anyway, my favorite Unique weapon would have to be either the Mysterious Magnum or Christine's COS SIlencer Rifle. Anyone have a favorite armor in the game? Because my favorite would have to be the Elite Riot Gear.
Oh yeah, and skreeonk Dead Money.

[Gyaos]

My favroite is either of the T51B/45D power armors. The Chinese stealth suit looks awesome, even if it is out of place somewhat.

[daftfalloutgoji]

Either the spacesuit or viva las vegas or van graff combat armor

n fact, its' probably the best Pure RPG I've played. And I'll tell you why. Skyrim, technically, is a great game. The game world is gorgeous, there's plenty of things to do, and it has polished gameplay, and an appealing interface. But the game is ruined for me due to a serious issue that infests the whole game. The game, touts itself as an immense detailed world(which it is), but there isn;t much interesting to do within it. And, yes I get that there's hundreds of side quests, and even more "Miscellaneous Objectives", but few, VERY few of the quest quests are very memorable at all, and are usually all "fetch this, or kill that type of quests". What's worse is that most of them suffer from minimal character interaction, and those interactions are not written very well at all. What's even worse is that you can go ahead and assassinate the Emperor, Slay Potema the Wolf Queen, or liberate a town from Vampires, and it doesn't effect the game world at ALL. No one talks of your achievements,s o you don;t feel all that accomplished. And you don't feel like an adventurer because your adventures are never really that grand. They all FEEL samey. A beautiful world that has very little in terms of depth. It's like Bethesda expected the world to be so wondrous that it would fill in that blank. Well it doesn't. It kind of creates a barrier. Skyrim is not so much a deep RPG, as it is a giant playground for you to mess around in, rather than a dangerous place where every little thing matters. While New Vegas has far more quests than Fallout 3, NV does a fantastic job of making EACH ONE unique and worth playing through. The stories and characters are just so good. And each one effects the game world dramatically. Beyond that, there's usually different ways to each quest you do, and that effects how the game world reacts to you. There's so many factions in the game, and that's where these choices come into play. There's Good and Evil in terms of a universal sense, in NV, and then there's how each faction feels about you. And depending on how they feel about you, that determines if they shoot you on sight or help you with whatever you need. and it WORKS. And people will talk to you or react to you about it. You'll get full quests out of it. Say I'm part of the Great Kahns, that means if I walk near and NCR encampment, they'll all try to murder me. HOWEVER, I can disguise myself as an NCR soldier and perform recon on them in disguise. IT's all so awesome! On my first playthrough, I assaulted the King's base of operations and killed ALL of them. Because I felt like it. It was a joy to hear all the city folk talking about "some guy wiping out all of them", and then having random members try to take revenge on me. It's a system of world immersion lacking from Skyrim.


It doesn't help either that enemy variety is lacking. I know EXACTLY what I'm running into every time I enter a cave or dungeon, based on the type it is in Skyrim. Do something fun with your enemies, Bethesda! What if I walked into a dungeon and found a captive giant being guarded by an arch mage trying to use it as a sacrifice. I have to fight two Earth Atronachs to set him free, or set him free to help me with the mage. You don't HAVE to do ANYTHING with that. You already have all the models done. Just place them and their stats on the dungeon accordingly. It's not hard to show a LITTLE creativity with what you have. Fallout: New Vegas isn't afraid to mess around with the bestiary in terms of their sizes and behavior and locations.

As for Fallout 3? Fallout 3 had a much worse story than New Vegas, and the only reason I think most people like 3 more is because it was there first. Despite NV being FAR more faithful and full of content than 3, 3 had that initial "shock value" attached to it. I cna understand why someone would look at NV and see how it looks samey on the surface, but it really is just the superior game in EVERY possible aspect. If this was the game released in 2008, 3 would look like a joke. So many good stories, adventures and memorable characters. Phenomenal game that's VERY under appreciated. Buy the Ultimate Edition. The DLC's are GODLY. Simply masterful.There's even 2 aimed specifically at film buffs, like you people.

You think News Vegas is the best RPG that you played? I'm not saying you don't have a right to your opinion, but I take that you have not played many RPG's? I have not played New Vegas yet, but I hear it's nowere as good as Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was great, but I think the first two games are much better. The first two Fallout games are much harder then Fallout 3 from what I can remember.

Fallout 3 is actually kind of bad. Fallout 3 had appeal with mainstream audiences. Hence everyone saying its great. Especially because it came first. As I said, were NV release din 2008 rather than 3, and 3 was released in 2010, 3 would be the one hated. Hardcore gamers, especially Fallout fans, and Bethesda fans, WILL agree that NV is simply much better. Mainstream peoples really ate up Fallout 3 when it was released because it had that appeal. Post apocalyptic, FPS, Violence, Open World, etc. Most players of Fallout 3 never really regarded it as an RPG, just an FPS. I'm not saying Fallout 3 is bad, but as far as RPG's, its extremely mediocre when compared to other games. It's shallow, the world doesn't make a lot of sense, the mechanics are wonky, its FAR too easy, it does not have many quests(I think the vanilla game only has thirty-something sidequests), the story is laughably bad and railroads you with the Brotherhood of Steel in the end, it's unbalanced, and repetitive sort of(Goddamn train stations). I will say Fallout 3 is better than Skyrim as an over all game, and what little quests it has are far cooler and more memorable than Skyrim's, but against New Vegas: Ultimate Edition, it can't compare. NV refines all the gameplay mechanics in 3, adds a SHIT TON of more options for character builds and customization, adds companions, new melee weapon functionality, balance's the game to the point where it's challenging, offers Hardcore Mode, and has a phenomenal story with FAR better writing and characters. You can REALLY effect the outcome of the world and change it base don your decisions.

Also, My RPG Pedigree is quite exceptional. all of my favorite games are RPG's. Borderlands, SoulSilver, Dark Souls, Persona 3, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound....See I define RPG as a game where you take on a role and make choices, not just customize your character. And New Vegas offers the most of that ON TOP of having a banging character customization setup.

Also, one thing I overlooked. You claim you like 1&2 but have not played NV? REALLY? Go out and buy the Ultimate Edition ASAP. It is the PROPER sequel to 1&2. It has much more to do with those games in terms of people and setting and world. You also can;t judge a game you haven't played. It starts slow, I admit, but the final prodct is INCREDIBLE.

Donkun, why do you keep making these kind of threads? There is a Skyrim thread, AND a New Vegas thread that this little post could of fit in perfectly.

[Fairy Mothra]

Donkun - if your post relates to a prior thread please use it. Your opinion doesn't warrant it's own topic.

[wataru]

Im sorry, Donkun, but you're wrong. The greatest RPG is World of Warcraft. The only RPG to really challenge it (EVER!) is SW: TOR and that's ONLY because Star Wars is on the box.

Let's face it... you could stencil "Star Wars: Proton Torpedo" to a 15'' x 6'' black strap-on and fanboys would body-paint a Death Star on their ass and tell whoever is wearing the strap-on to "Use the Force, Luke" and bend over...

[GojiFan]

^Pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies made WoW look terrible. Sadly, SOE (Sony Online Entertainment) completely ruined the game. It really was the first game to meet the hype of "living in the Star Wars Universe."

[Legionmaster]

You people are silly. The best RPG ever is very clearly EarthBound. Zoom. Boing.

You really need to play some more games I think

I can think of a lot better things to do with $50 or so bucks for a video game. Like goto a water park, a nice high end dinner, a buttload of comic books...
