Glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed FO3 more than New Vegas.

Don't get me wrong, NV is entertaining in its own right, but even now, 200 hours of playtime later, I still have more fun playing Fallout 3.

Saturday night I was over at a friend's house, and I'd given him my copy of Fallout 3 some time ago. He couldn't find GNR because he blew up Megaton before talking to Colin, so I was helping him out. Everything about the game seemed better, and I played for an hour, encountering a three-way battle between Raiders, Super Mutants and Outcasts, as well as discovering a brand new building I'd never seen despite playing the game for such a long time.

Naturally when I came home today I felt an urge to play some Fallout, so I popped in New Vegas. Just turned it off after about fifteen minutes.

Invisible walls above mountains and the inability to zoom all the way out in first person (360player) made me frustrated instantly. Why add those detrimental features? I don't get it.

I got bored pretty quickly after that, and I agree with pretty much all the points you've made Ryllharu. Only one I disagree with is the story; Fallout 3's blew hard. It was basically a rehash of Fallout 2, except instead of saving your village with the GECK, you were saving a city.

"I think the idea of having a protagonist on the east coast leave a vault to look for his dad (who happens to be Quai Gon-Jin, sweet) is better than some indian dude looking for a ridiculously unrealistic item." -- Excerpt from a blog post I wrote about a year before Fallout 3's release. Oh how little I knew. -_-

Anyways... I might give it another go in the future, but for now New Vegas will be collecting dust.
