Interesting, so what would you have preferred to be different in FO3 if we was back in 2008 again? (Let's assume it was a still a 3D fps game).

What gear we talkin' about? The TF2 stuff?
... If so, can it be sold? Mine is untradeable and unmarketable... >_<'
(edit)
Oh. I see. TF21 being dumb as always.
I do prefer New Vegas, but I wouldn't agree that it is miles ahead of Fallout 3, the only real advantage I can give to New Vegas is an expanded storyline that depends on your outcomes, even then you only really have 3 endings.
I like your new pic. :3
<3
If you have TF2 installed, run the game again; if you don't have it installed, download SAM and run it from there. This will remove the trading/marketing restrictions.
general quest design, the factions and reputation systems, real companions, real endings, actual care for the fallout lore and universe, stats and skills and perks retuning, the dlc being godly
i don't think that any of that is debatable and sets fo3 apart from the other ones
other than that i think the writing in fallout 3 is all kinds of terrible (new vegas is inconsistent but has really high highs) and the whole world building thing has been discussed to death but imo new vegas still trumps fo3 in that regard
but those two don't matter so much in the fact that the first things are what separate the fallout series from goofy post apocalyptic elder scrolls
better writing and quest design and keeping the reputation system from fallout 2. i can understand that some things fall victim of making a sequel with ten years of game design changes in between and that's ok, or some things not being perfect like getting perks every level or however it worked in fo3. it can be not-perfect (like fo2 was) but it should be above all a good rpg.
also between vats and pure fps i would've gone pure fps
vats is awful
edit: like let's be honest here, fallout 1&2 weren't the paramount of turn based combat either. i like it cos i like that type of gameplay but it was really simple since there was no cover or spells or combat sklils or anything. so while i'd rather they had gone towards a gameplay style i enjoy better, the fps part doesn't bother me too much.
Payday 1 is quite grindy to get most of the upgrades and abilities, so just get Payday 2 (more players too) if you like the first one.
alright i'll bite. i have the ps3 GOTY of Fo3, but kinda lost interest. partially stuck on the mothership.

For me there are just many many small things that make New Vegas far ahead of 3. In fact, I think NV is better than the originals even though they are different genres.
The biggest thing that comes to mind that makes NV better than 3 is the survival/hardcore mode though. And just in general I feel like NV better represents the older games in a 3d explorable world.

You say that as if it's undeserved.
Q*bert Rebooted is on sale for $1.99.
It drops 3 cards that are worth 30c - 60c.
Totally worth it if you like Q*bert or just want the +1.
Payday 2 takes the cake with just how grindy things can get. Never mind the blatant randomness just to acquire a certain gun component. Payday 1's heists are also better designed, though the feel of the gunplay in 2 is head-and-shoulders above 1's.

you should mend your solace by getting Valkyria Chronicles
gunplay is pretty much the same (there's iron sights so you can sort of ignore vats a bit) but i had a lot more enjoyment talking to people and doing quests and such which is what i always loved about the fallout series in the first place
like if you can't accept the shitty gamebryo combat (who can blame ya) then you're in trouble but i'm guessing you can since i bet the fo3 dlc is pretty high level

I ran TF2 and my Alien promo stuff is still locked. Hmm.
i actually got curious a bit early in the game and went to the crash sight. basically, i haven't gone to Three Dog's station yet
*edit* unrelated, if i had to pick one DMC game to buy, what would it be? the one game that will give me a nice experience as a newcomer to the series aside from like 15 of DmC on ps3

Bought. Gotta put my money where my mouth is. Only $10 here, I'll remove friend whoever play pirated version of that game.

Visual style, controls, and "music" all make it feel like an old PC/DOS game to me.

MURI also runs at 16 or 32 fps.
It's also a whopping 4 megs.
It's very much a CGA-era throwback title.
Pretty solid, though I've only played a stage or two.

Great thread title.
About the FO3/NV discussion, I think it's somewhat relevant that I never finished any of the post-Morrowind Bethesda RPGs (Oblivion, Skyrim and FO3), but I did finish New Vegas. The former are good sandboxes for playing around in (and modding !), but the latter is that and an interesting story and characters.

Dear God. It isn't even November yet in the US and this thread already has almost 600 posts.
Considering you did the ps3 OT,are you doing the pc one?

They hooked you up because you own XCOM EU.
saoirse looks a big puffy in that pic maybe
i mean i still think the old fallout games aged pretty well (interface is kind of really annoying like most of the all games but since you're only controlling one character it's not as much of a hassle as something like planescape or something) so you should probably play those too if you haven't
dmc4 is pretty good too but i like it less, the story and characters aren't as memorable and i don't like how nero plays as much as i like dante.
give it a shot then

well imo the best one is dmc3 although i hear the pc post is pretty terrible

hey how come i gotta do like 6 posts with like 4 paragraphs in each one and durante basically says it's like fo3 but less shit and that's it -__-
Recent news seems to have a possible answer.
lol, you just made me realize I have it too.
I'm gonna go for it. It's usually $30 so getting it for over half that seems like a pretty good deal.
Also
FO3 Story > FNV
Everything else in FNV > FO3
Oh, that's neat, I guess.
Seems like everyone and their dog gets into the Alpha.

Muri and Q'Bert card quotes are nuts compared to sale price. How do I get Idle Master working on OS X?
Was thinking about the DMC bundle, though it could go at that price sometime later when I'm less worried about cash.

probably
i liked the heist better but i'm guessing the community probably moved on
i'm surprised overkill hasn't ported the payday 1 maps to payday 2 in some manner
those maps were so much better

how why nooo
Wait... So i OWN Evolve now?! Or is this just the alpha thingy...
Confirmed. I have it.

All those nachos <3
It's just the alpha. That's what the headline says.
Oh i see. Might try it out later i guess. The concept of the game didn't interest me at all, but i guess that could change if i play it.
It just spoke to me more.
