maybe it's just because I've been trying to play Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank and Borderlands at the same time, but the controls on Borderlands piss me off (keep in mind, if the previous games didn't give it away, I'm playing console side, not pc)... who the hell makes select your main menu... I mean, really?sasquatch99 said:
edit so I'm still on topic: I'd have to say if you have the means to get both, do so, but if you absolutely have to make the choice, I'd go with Borderlands, despite the somewhat off-putting controls.
They were both good, in their own ways.KrakFoxx said:
Fallout had way more tension.
Borderlands is a better shooter by far.
Fallout had a better story, and much better UNIVERSE.
Borderlands is more fun but comes with more annoying loadtimes that break up the action a lihihihihitle too much.
Also, yes, that was a Dr. Cox from Scrubs version of the word little. It seemed appropriate.
Fallout 3 is the better game. It will last you much longer, it has a better story, a better world and better characters. It is much deeper and the developers put much more work into it. You aren't restricted by a single class, the quests are better, there are perks and moral choices...
...need I say more? Just trust me, it's the better game. Borderlands may sound better on paper but you will enjoy Fallout 3 more.

I assuming you are having problems with this henceforth I answered the question, so on the 360, it's the back button, which on PS3 is the 'Select' button if it's still called that. If you are being sarcastic, well, sarcasm is hard to interpret over teh interwebz.twcblaze said:
I played Fallout 3 for about 2 hours. It was fun at first, but then I got bored with all the scavenging and random encounters with super-high-level enemies, so I stopped playing.
However, I am now well into my 6th hour of Borderlands and it hasn't gotten boring yet, every time I feel as though I'd rather carry on with my 4th play through of Half life 2, there's a new gun or a massive boss-fight and I suddenly remember why it's an awesome game.
Buy Borderlands.

they are different games! get fallout because its fun and great single player rpg. get borderlands because its fun and a great multiplayer rpg.
It depends how long you want to play it in my opinion.
In the short run Borderlands is better (following playthroughs felt weaker in my opinion along with the fact that the difficulty can get a tad ridiculous later on) however, if you want a long term game then Fallout 3 does have much more to offer just due to it's length and content.

If this is true, then you definitely should get Fallout 3. Because I spent hundreds of hours on the console version. Borderlands is really fun though. So choose whichever one you want.TooMiserableToLive said:
Fallout 3: Single-player RPG-goodness.
Borderlands: Co-op FPS-goodness, with just a hint of RPG.
Is it okay to burn people that do this? Or at least to slap their hands away from the keyboard?SnootyEnglishman said:
At any rate, I have spent $150 on FO3 and once my pc is unbricked (thats right guys, I'm still on my Wii) I'm grabbing the PC GOTY edition. I havent played much of borderlands but so far it hasnt wowed me enough to spend an extra hundred, then buy the game a second time. Go get the Fallout 3 GOTY.
no, I was being serious, I honestly find making select rather than start the main menu a little bit of a pain in the ass... but by the same token, I absolutely CAN NOT play any game where the Y axis for the camera isn't inverted... it throws me off somehow.sasquatch99 said:
First off I did'nt vote because my brain would explode trying to decide. But i'll say the goods and bads about the games.
Fallout3 is an atmospheric, immersive game that uses those aspects to drive a brillantly writen storyline that will leave wanting more even with the huge amount of content it has. Visual the game is beautiful and has a deep, dark humour to it.
Borderlands is mainly a shooter but has some RPG elements added but it does work very well. The quests are'nt as deep as Fallout3 and basicly involve "go here and do this then go back for reward". Also this game does'nt take it self seriously, it has migets, it has acid shooting guns and it likes useing the word "Badass"...ALOT, but it works realy works well with the cell-shaded graphics.
So yeah, there both good and i'd recomend playing both during your gaming life. (Borderlands is better with co-op.)

Wow, how'd you do that?! A single playthrough doesn't take too long, so you, like played the whole game + dlc 3 times? Well... I guess I did too, but I kept expanding it with mods and extra quests and so on.Xvito said:
I'd have to say Borderlands. I got my first 50 today *applause* and am still loving it. I got half way through Fallout 3 (apprently) and I got a bit bored to be completely honest. It was good but didn't really keep my intrest long. I went on Oblivion instead =P
Graphics wise, Fallout in my opinion is superior. Game play and enjoyment wise, Fallout 3 wins (DLC =D) but they are close.
