Poll: New Vegas VS Fable 3

[Hulkmania]

The fallout series is something very special, it is plausible. And it has a bunch of nostalgia about the past. It teaches two lessons:

1) The present is not so bad, the future could be much worst
2) Nuclear weapons are a danger to life on earth.

Fable is just fantasy.

Fable 3: futher sequels of dissappointment

New Vegas: an equally buggy sequel that apparently manages to make enough of a difference to own both it and 3

I don't get why people are so disappointed with the fable games, are you all expecting some sort of huge major specular best game ever or what? I always have low expectations on things witch make everything better. But why do people have to always expect the best game ever made? Fable 3 is definitely not the best game but its not bad either.

As for fallout new vegas, i have to agree, that massive amount of bugs on a game release is not acceptable, they should have the game at least playable at release, i know because i had to restart my game about 6 times because it bugged out and i was left stuck.

I stopped buying games from Obsidian after Alpha Protocol and Kotor 2. They blew their chance to make an impression on me and when I heard of all the bugs that plagued New Vegas I immediately just said "No."

Is it harsh to judge a games by its creators? Of course it is. Is that gonna make me change my mind and buy a game to support a company I dislike? Nope.

I don't like Obsidian. Plain and simple and I enjoyed Fable 3 immensely. I enjoyed the humor of it, I enjoyed the story and I enjoyed the world it took place in. I liked Fable 3. That's more then I can say for any Obsidian game I played.

VS Threads are against the rules, expect this thread to be locked shortly.

OT: I liked Fable 3, and I never played New Vegas, apparently it was buggy as hell, and I had no interest in Fallout 3.

Ya Fable 3 was overall a big disappointment. The only reason I spent any large amount of time doing side quests was because I wanted to be good, but still save everyone, so I had to kill time while my housing empire made me rich. Some funny stuff, a bit of enjoyment to be had in a quest or two, but other then that it was pretty bad.

Fallout New Vegas, I haven't played that too much. Only a few hours in, but so far really enjoyable. I like how they ramped up the difficulty a bit over Fallout 3, because I could breeze through that game. I do sort of miss the ability to just go randomly explore the wasteland without fear of getting my face owned, but now I've got Boone so I think I'll be ok. I feel like they took what Fallout 3 did right, brought back some good elements from Fallout 1 and 2, and added some pretty cool new features, so overall really well done. But they lose massive points for no Dogmeat. Even if he is completely useless he just has to be in the Fallout games but from what I heard there's a Robotic dog companion out there...and so begins my epic quest.

Fable 3 simply failed for me because the most hyped up portions were as follows:

No menus.
Rule the world.

Now, the sanctuary, yes is a fairly good idea, before the novelty runs out.
Menus have been around in games for so long, because they work...
Fable TLC had a fantastic inventory system that didn't involve going through menus.
But where was that in Fable 2 when I wanted to use more than one of an item?
Sadly that system is made worse by the sanctuary, I can't even see how many of a given item I have...

Rule the World... Now here's where it gets laughable... For a game that's shunned the menus, why is the 'biggest' part of the game a fucking check list?

I guess i'm one of 6 people that actually liked Fable 3. I mean it has about as many RPG elements as Crash Bandicoot but it seemed like a pretty fun hack n slash kind of game. There are a bunch of set backs to the game though, story was pathetic in terms of depth and just was disappointing from the hype around it, side quest are pointless, items and weapons are just idiotically low in diversity, the story went over way too fast and overall it doesn't live up to the hype i still did like it though. However I've played Fallout 3 and i'm now playing Fallout: NV and that series blows Fable out of the water. It basically fixes all of the flaws in Fable 3 and it's just must more epic than Fable 3. I won't lie I like Fable 3 but it's nothing compared to the Fallout series.

 

[xMelior]

I go with Fable 3 all the way. I never liked the types of games such as Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas

 

[C95J]

Gotta be New Vegas, I just don't like the Fable series...

But I also have to say: STOP THE VERSUS THREADS!

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Why are you comparing two games that are nothing alike?

.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the thread title.

A first person open world shooter/RPG all about AMURCUH being compared to a linear, British fantasy adventure game.

What's the point?

 

[Kratenser]

Anyway why are you comparing two games, one of which you hold at a high standard and the other you think sucks. These games aren't even the same genre, its like comparing sim city4 to age of empires...

Im comparing them because they were released at the same time, and i clearly bought the wrong one! xD

Because Molyneux always makes promises he doesn't deliver and every Fable sequel hasn't as much been an improvement as he states, but a massive watering down and over simplification of what made it good.

I rarely read or watch any promotional videos, maybe thats what makes the games better for me because i dont know what to expect, well all i know is that at least fable 3 has a bit of replay value, fable 2 is just a play once and dont ever want to play again type of game.
