Rynjin

Personally, I prefer Vault 108.GARY!Though Vaults 21 and 34 would have been lulzy to live in (lots o' gambling and lots o' guns/explosives respectively)I am DETERMINED to draw you into a discussion dammit. Apparently goading doesn't work on you like 99% of the population. Stop being so passive!

Yes.Do want, as my FB said yesterday when I shared those videos with everyone.

I actually still like Chuck Testa jokes, in moderation.

I actually have only had ONE FO3 save mess up that badly on me. It got to the point that if I tried to look any direction but North everything would turn into a mass of spiky purple terrain. Was very odd.

Lucky bastard.My game crashes every 25 minutes (ON THE DOT), and it REALLY makes it hard to get into a game when all you wanna do after the 4th or 5th time is break the game into little pieces and then shit on it.As for the game itself, like I said (maybe I didn't say it here) is that NV has the edge in mechanics, everything gameplay-wise is better (which I chalk up to it being a sequel built off the same engine), but the ATMOSPHERE is just...nonexistent. I never feel invested in the game AT ALL. The music doesn't have the same creepy dissonance to your actions (upbeat big band music versus slow, sad country western ballads), the "wasteland" is really just a desert. Radiation poisoning is not anywhere NEAR an issue except in about 3 places, and they even have farms and whatnot growing prettily. And none of the places you go (in the main game) have the same tense mood that FO3 had (Dunwich Building *shudders*).TL;DR: I prefer to play New Vegas. I prefer to EXPERIENCE Fallout 3.I have the same opinion about Oblivion and Skyrim, to an extent.As for the dialogue...I like both of them about the same actually.New Vegas takes itself very seriously, and DOES have some good/interesting voice actors (Mathew Perry AKA Chandler from Friends is Benny for example, and Yuri Lowenthal is the Brotherhood Elder, I believe).On the other hand, Fallout 3 takes the opposite approach, by having that 50's Sci-fi cheese that I just LOVE. Half the time it seems like it's only Liam Neeson/Dad and that bitch Dr. Li that take their roles seriously at all. Liberty Prime = best thing ever.

Your opinion is now 100% invalid.Obsidian outdid BETHESDA in the "bugs that make the game nigh unplayable" department.They outdid BETHESDA. The KINGS of bugs that make the game nigh unplayable.

I liked the "One perk per level" approach better. Fewer levels, but you GET SOMETHING every level. No, my problem was that they pidgeonholed you that way to BEGIN WITH. I'll take the "Super tough and high damaging miniboss monster" that was pretty fun to fight over the stupid, annoyingly fast pack hunters with POISON that are the Cazadores any day. My point was, I CAN be evil. And it has a purpose in FO3. There's a good and evil option for every quest, with equivalent rewards for each.New Vegas? You have to play nice with EVERYONE if you want to have even a chance of getting a decent reward.And you know what? I still don't like how I can fucking murder everyone EVERYWHERE, be Vilified by every group (I've DONE THIS) and still be the fucking MESSIAH.Lonesome Road exemplifies this. Deactivate the missiles? Launch them at the NCR? Launch them at the Legion? Launch them at BOTH?Launch at both NCR and Legion command accepted.And what does it do (other than make me vilified with both sides, which is easily circumvented by wearing NCR armor like I was going to anyway because it's awesome)? Nothing. I just crippled two nations, and I don't lose a lick of Karma for it. I get the same rewards as if I destroyed either.Hell, being a good guy gets the shaft in NV too. If I choose to deactivate the missiles I don't get JACK SHIT./rantBasically, I prefer the lawless wasteland of FO3 to the semi-civilized half-rebuilt "wasteland" of NV.

*sigh* I played New Vegas for quite a while. Just recently I've started playing FO3 again. They're both good games, it's so fucking hard to choose a favorite. So. Fallout 3: Pros: Creepy, yet fun, atmosphere. Lots of super lulzy overpowered doom weapons that are Unique (Terrible Shotgun is my personal favorite. The MIRV is cool too, but it's impossible to have fun with it without killing yourself). You can easily max out all of the skills, and you get one perk per level. Bobbleheads. Liam Neeson is your dad. The DLC are all very fun and interesting, each with a unique gimmick. I can blow up a city. It's actually POSSIBLE to be an evil bastard with low karma. It has fucking Dogmeat. And Jericho. 'Nuff said. Cons: Main story is WAAAAAAAY too easy to bust/skip half of. It's REALLY hard to navigate the downtown DC area. I HATE the subway system. Little Lamplight exists. Albino Radscorpions. WHY ARE THE FUCKING HALF NAKED HILLBILLIES IN POINT LOOKOUT SO FUCKING TOUGH? THEY CAN TAKE MORE SHOTS THAN AN ENCLAVE TROOPER IN HELLFIRE ARMOR, WHYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?! Riley's Rangers. Ugh. Why does every follower besides Dogmeat and Fawkes have to be so damn squishy? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fallout:New Vegas: Pros: Explosives is actually worthwhile in this game. My favorite skill. Survival is awesome. You know what? Let's generalize here. All of the skills have been vastly improved in their usefulness. Except Barter, minus the speech checks for Barter. Fucking THUMP-THUMP Companions don't die. Yessssss. Companions are easier to interact with. Companions actually have personalities and story lines. Gambling. That glitch that let you get infinite caps from Gambling. The DLC actually tie in to the overarching story behind the Courier and Ullysses, as well as other events in the Mojave. They still manage to be pretty interesting as well, though I was still never as engaged by them as with the LolWeird-ness of FO3's DLC. Cons: You replaced DOGMEAT, the dog that has been at your side (well, technically his ancestor but IDGAF) SINCE FALLOUT 1 with REX, the Cyberdog. Who is nowhere NEAR the INSANE LEVEL OF AWESOME that FO3's Dogmeat possessed. What the hell is up with the "We made unique weapons. But many of them are worthless because the regular versions with weapon mods attached are better". Purchaseable S.P.E.C.I.A.L boosters. Finding them was so much more fun. Mr. New Vegas does not even APPROACH how great and charismatic Three Dog was. And the music in general is inferior, in my opinion. NOTABLE EXCEPTION: Big Iron. Less enemies, and all of them are weaker. THEY NERFED FERAL GHOUL REAVERS. I.E. the enemy that made you PISS YOUR PANTS IN TERROR in Fallout 3 because they were strong as hell, durable, and came in numbers. I'll never forget the first time I fought one. I lined up a terrible shotgun shot, said "Lol Ghouls" and fired. He didn't even flinch. It's very difficult to max out all skills in NV. Which is funny because you have TWENTY EXTRA LEVELS to work with. One perk every two levels? Dafuq? I'ma just go abuse that glitch that lets me have twice the perks. Kthx. Good job starting the player off in an open world sandbox and: A.) Arbitrarily limiting their options for travel (destination is just over the horizon, but have fun fighting the Cazadores, Deathclaws, and Giant Radscorpions on the way there with a 10 mm pistol and twenty bullets. Assholes.) B.) INSURMOUNTABLE WAIST HIGH FENCES. These should NO LONGER EXIST in a modern game. They made Deathclaws weaker. WHY? Cazodores were added. Infinitely more annoying, tedious, and un-fun to fight than Deathclaws. I can't blow up a city. It is fucking IMPOSSIBLE to be EVIL. It makes no fucking SENSE. Murder a whole city? NO KARMA LOST. Steal that guy's ashtray? YOU EVIL MOTHERFUCKER. PREPARE TO DIE.

Yeah.I really enjoy skiing around the levels.But I often end up flying off a ramp and snagging the flag at around 200 MPH by accident so then people get all pissy and try to kill me.

Slump?That was the first game I'd ever played.I don't think you can START in a slump.

I still have yet to get a single kill or cap.I get assists like a motherfucker though.And I stay alive for a very long time as Soldier. For some reason people have a hard time catching me.

Oh.You finally got around to posting?

I'm level 3 nao.

I'm at never have played a game before level.

Never heard of it.

The issue corrected itself.I don't really understand skiing. I can get up some insane speeds and then they go kaput because I'm going so fast I fly over the next three downward slopes.But yeah, my name's Rynjin on there too.

I just downloaded it.Anyone wanna play with me tomorrow?Edit: Fuck this game. Every time I try to get into a game it won't let me stop moving to the left.

We tore it up out there.So did anyone get a demo of us being awesome?

So, anyone wanna try again next year?With a team leader with better organizational skills and who actually SHOWS UP TO GAMES?

It's not me.My pride wouldn't let me make posts like this:

...I'm confused.Can we just derail this thread into another den of fuck ridden posts?

This is probably the best Abandon Thread ever.

Spy.Because the kills are so satisfying. It means I outsmarted the other person.

Do you not have a TV?
