Video Games

Have to agree there. I don't know what it was about NV that didn't do it for me. Maybe because it felt like it was just trying to imitate 3, and it didn't do it any justice. I absolutely adore 3. Without a doubt my favourite game of all time. Sunk about 400 hours into that bad boy back in the day.

Fallout NV felt very different to 3, but there are elements of NV that remind me more of F1.

What impressive is that while Fallout 3 took 4 years in the making, Fallout New Vegas were given 9 months to complete it.

because it's just different skins on F3

of course, but still impressive nonetheless.

They will have pushed to get it made as soon as possible so before the excitement died down.

Fallout New Vegas were given 9 months to complete it.

In my opinion this was its downfall. There were many things that didn't work. They may well have been working on it whilst F3 was still being completed, as bare in mind Obsidian completed NV, not Bethesda.

There was just nothing about NV that made me stop and think 'wow' that is impressive, because it was just a clone of F3 with different characters etc. F3 for me was fresh. It was one of the first RPG's that I really adored.

New Vegas was pretty good. I liked the factions, ammo crafting and cooking, especially with the hardcore mode. But FO3 was much better. I liked the apocalyptic, bombed out city feel of FO3 where New Vegas was too much open space.

I sank quite a few hours into Skyrim but never completed the main quest (I never did for Oblivion either) and while it was pretty and all, I have gotten bored with it. Even all the mods haven't helped keep my interest.

Morrowind and Fallout 3 are the games that I think were the high point in each franchise.

I actually felt very claustrophobic playing FA3. All the high buildings and the fact it was a pain to reach some areas.

It made me jump quite a bit too.

New Vegas in comparison was nothing like this - rarely made me jump, the whole game was much brighter and I actually preferred that.

Although I did play NV on the PC and F3 on the xbox - perhaps I will go back and play FO3 on the PC next time It's on sale on steam. I do find though that I get distracted very easily and find it hard to not just complete the main quest and be done with it.

Whereas games like BF3 have my attention for hours.

Started New Vegas yesterday.
I am too shit at it.
Too many things to remember. Like all that making bullets and campfire bullshit. And picking stuff up not sure whether I will need it or can just sell it
And despite having full health and all sorts of weapons I could not get past 4 guys in a room until after the millionth try I turned on god mode.
And on it shall stay. Fuck stealth.

If you don't get on with weapons just go for a melee or hand bloke.

Metro 2033 is one of my favourite modern games and I don't even like FPSs, brilliant atmosphere, believable voice acting and an immersive storyline, looks really good even on the lowest graphics settings too

I loved Metro 2033 mainly for the lack of HUD, somewhat refreshing to not know how much health you had left, felt more realistic.

I managed to rake up 2,000 caps within the first twenty minutes by trash collecting.

never underestimate tin can.

Agree metro 2033 was engrossing and played better than many blockbuster fps'
a sleeper, as they say in movie land

Little disappointed with fable 3, far too easy, bit short and pushes the ending upon you before you want it, has been simplified too much over the last one as well. Don't know if I can be arsed mopping up any missions I missed, didn't even bother getting laid, which was amusing at times in 2.

i loved FO3, and NV.
NV was less unstable (more stable i suppose) than FO3 (espesh the DLC on 3, kept crashing)

I've never been able to play FO3 without it crashing every 15 mins, really immersion busting and a shame 'cos from what I played I really liked it

I get what you mean about NV being open, which was attractive in some ways, and the Vegas strip itself was quite nice to look at, but FO3 just felt more special to me, I don't know why. The soundtrack did a lot for me, really loved it. Made it all the more atmospheric.

I loved the sound in Fallout NV actually, especially when you discovered a new area, new quest, levels up, etc.

I think I liked NV because it made a nuclear wasteland look beautiful, and actually feel like a proper adventure (i.e. the journery to New Vegas through Nipton to Highway 95).

For me in FO3 I know a lot of the places... Vegas besides the strip, well it was vague

It was great to hear what become of the NCR after their first settlement in Shady Sands.

NV felt too much like a job to me.

What's that? You want me to find you a sexbot? You want me to raise a bomber from a lake? For a measly handful of caps?

I can get that shit at the office every day.

One thing about New Vegas the DLC was so much better than that of FO3.
I was shitting myself constantly in the Sierra Madre hoping things didn't jump out at me etc. The big empty and national park where great too and contrast well with the desert of the main game.

I bought resident evil THE UMBRELLA CHRONICLES for the wii the other day along with two wii zappers. Very awesome

That game is great until you get to the boss in the white coat who teleports around the place. I gave up at that point after weeks of trying to kill him.

oh jeez, that first scorpion boss was bare difficult that took me a good 6 to 10 attempts
