Poll: Is fallout 3 better than Oblivion?

[supermaster1337]

My friends have had this discussion over and over.
I honestly believe it is Oblivion but i would like your opinions too with valid reasons.

while I adore both, I think Fallout 3 is the better game.

I prefer oblivion, I just liked the fact it was so open and beautiful (and my +100 speed on touch on my horse made for fun times)

 

[antipunt]

I love them both. Hard to decide, because both have their pluses and minuses

Pong is better than Oblivion.

One of them is part of what my account was named after, one of them was left unfinished due to boredom.

Completely different games due to the settings. Settings can make or break a game. And the Wasteland broke it for me.

Fallout 3 is a 1/10 compared to Oblivion, and a 10/10 compared to other games.

I prefferred Fallout 3, primarily because to me Scifi > Fantasy.
Having said that I still didn't like Fallout 3's shooting mechanic.

VS threads, my arch nemesis.

At least it's about games and not Chuck Norris vs Joseph Stalin vs Samurai Jack.

I voted Oblivion. It's much more 'WOW' that Fallout 3

I'm much more fond of Fallout 3... it's got a more focused story, a more interesting setting and better combat. Though I prefer Oblivions basic levelling system and their quest threads to Fallout 3... Oblivion just feels... bigger.

My opinion is that Fallout 3 is the better game.

It is more immersive than Oblivion, and the I prefer it's levelling system to Oblivion's.
Mainly because you don't have to run in a corner for hours in Fallout. Killing enemies gives you a set amount of xp, and enemies don't level when you do.

Fallout 3.

I thought Fallout 3 was alot better because is wasn't set so far back and you get kickass guns!

Samurai Jack by a mile.

And one of my problems lies in the leveling system of Fallout 3. They force you to use Skill Points in certain catagories, like Lockpicking, thus limiting your potential.

Oblivion totally beats out Fallout 3

 

[high_castle]

Yes, but...this is like saying Nixon was better than Bush. I thought both games had severe problems to me, but that's probably because I thought Morrowind was the best game Bethesda ever put out and neither measure up. Fallout 3 was...just dry. I didn't think any of the characters were well-defined, the story could never hold my interest, and it had one wallbanger of an ending. Oblivion suffered from similar story and character problems with the added problems of horrible voice acting and truly pointless side quests. Both games also featured bland worlds. If you've seen one rocky waste in Fallout 3, you've seen them all. Same can be said about the generic countryside in Oblivion. At least Fallout 3 had a bit more tension to it, but I found it trying to hard to be a FPS with the RPG elements simply tacked on. But I seem to disagree with the majority on this, so what do I know?

I may have enjoyed Oblivion,but the class system forced you to play as a Strength Oriented Character.The melee combat had me hitting my follower by accident constantly!,but in Fallout 3 the game focused more on ranged combat.I could play a Stealth Oriented character without getting my Arse kicked every time I engaged in combat.

 

[sorry user name taken.]

while I adore both, I Fallout 3 is the better game.

the start of the game takes you in better...


i tried 6 times with oblivion..feeling the same ith fallout really but its just got ''something'' that makes you want too keep playing.

It comes down to setting, so for me, it's Oblivion.
