Ok, as some of you might have noticed, Steam is having a rather major sale right now. As a few examples they have all Bethesda games on sale for 25% off. INCLUDING FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS. All Valve games are half off, as well as all Lucas Arts games and Square Enix and Eidos games. They're also selling all of these games in packs, at pretty cheap prices. And last I checked, all 2K games are 33% off. It's pretty crazy. They've been having sale after sale after sale ever since Black Friday, if not before. |

..You're actually taking Fallout: NV as example? I call poorly chosen. Go for Borderlands instead. |

Heck no, Borderlands is fun for the first 8 hours, FO:NV is fun for a whooping 100 |

Tell that to my friend with 413.6 hrs on record for Borderlands.. and 28.7 hrs on record for Fallout 3. (And he finished ALL THE SIDEQUESTS AND DLC QUESTS~ on BOTH games.) Personally, I found FO3 boring alot faster than he did. I have 4 hours on it, and 167 on Borderlands. FO3 =/= FONV.. but it's a good enough reason for me NOT to get FONV. The whole 'bugs and crashes' deal that NV seems to be having troubles with is yet another reason. Edited by Speedy, Dec 27 2010, 08:23 AM.

What do you mean? FONV has FAR less bugs than FO3 after the three first patches. I have only found one instance of a guy ragdoll-glitching around in New Vegas, whereas that problem happened a fuckton of times in Tenpenny Tower. Also, I'm quite confident it's literally impossible to complete all FO3 sidequest in less than 50 hours, due to all the reading and walking required, sooo... And Borderlands got boring fast due to it just being the same old thing over and over again. Go there, get look with powers you've seen a bazillion times before, except this time it has a higher fire-rate or something useless like that, and then continue completing missions revolving around the consept of "go there, kill that" or "go there, get that". Really, the most fun mission in Borderlands was the "Kill the Rakk Hive" mission, and that's simply because the enemy is cool and big. Really, the game was not that fun once you had tried all the different weapon-types. Fallout 3 on the other hand was more like the Elder Scrolls, being fun because of the consistant, clever backstory, the execution of missions often having several plot-twists, the way you had to think about how you wanted to solve missions (for example, the GECK mission where you're in that simulation. Shall you listen to the little girl and keep killing innocent people, or should you look for the truth behind it all, whereas the last one revolves around some good ol' puzzle solving). Borderlands didn't have ANY of those. Sure, the DLC in FO3 was horrible attempts at making the game longer, but it was still fun, and more than good enough to make me undust the old game and put it in my PS3 again. (I've played both the PC and the PS3 versions, and I prefer it on PC tbh, it felt much more real, made me feel like the character etc That's a good RPG.) Borderlands, which had no character-customization, was simply BORING if you play it alone. I did ONCE. For the most part I played it with my friends, and even then it was repetitive as hell and the most fun part was dueling to see who should get the best weapon in the shop at certain places, and the arenas, even though the game had some balance-problems in the arenas. The game wasn't challenging, and it just kept doing the same thing over and over again in a new scenery, even the enemies are reused throughout 70% of the game. That's simply uncreative. FO3 had MANY different KINDS of enemies, and more "unique" weapons than Borderlands (As Borderlands just had weapons with small tweaks and different stats, kinda like the innocent-system in Disgaea, except unchangable), while FO3 actually had DIFFERENT weapons. There are so few good parts on Borderland's side and so many good ones on FO3's side, this post is gonna seem very biased, but really, that's my point. I've said everything I think about the two games, and the one you play the most is without doubt the most boring one |

That was a cheap way to reply to my long post... But I can see where you're coming from, but as I stated earlier, Multiplayer or not, the game isn't much fun if you do the same thing over and over again |

Multiplayer was HILARIOUS. And Borderlands is challenging as hell on lvl 69, playthrough 2. With four people, you're gonna need everyone to take down the weakest enemies around, since shit gets harder with friends. ![]() I swear, if Fallout had even, I dunno, just.. the ability to co-op with ONE OTHER GUY? Even if it was LOCAL LAN ONLY, I would've probably played it more. But, you just need the 'tgm' cheat to just, like, enjoy things? Traders aren't around enough to make money, and at one point you are just carrying more shit than your inventory has worth spaces. FO3 was not enjoyable due to the fact you couldn't CARRY CRAP without eventually just STANDING STILL. No, FO3 was more a bowl of disappointment and annoying factors rather than anything I could like. In related news, I also dislike Elder Scrolls, but mind you, my friend who has played both games ALOT MORE basically grinded the fuck out of Oblivion and other Elder Scrolls games- so I may be biased; but he certainly aint. Also, FO3 gets easier if you DONT read through all the crap. He usually just went through things choosing the worst possible option and then commencing into killing crap. By the time he was done, he couldn't get enough positive points to even rate neutral anymore. His english sucks, so he just skips through things. |

No, Multiplayer wasn't hilarous. Not after the first 20 hours. A challenge doesn't make the game better, especially when "a challenge" means sending more enemies with more health at you. Yes, coop in Fallout WOULD be awesome, but gamebryo has it's limits. ... You used cheats? Play the console version next time, and stop being a hoarder, you don't NEED all of those things. You need a weapon, some armor, and a few stimpacks and some Nuka Cola, which should give you a weight of... around 80 pounds. If you NEED more than that, you're a hoarder. There are traders where you need them, unless you cheat. Cheater. You are biased, that's for sure. Using cheats in a game cause you can't limit how much you pick up is just dumb. FO3 gets easier the more evil you are. That's common knowledge. Since he did that, it makes sense that he won that fast, but he didn't really WIN the game unless he did it in a way he enjoyed, now did he? That was JUST counter-arguments |

Oho, but you're wrong on that last thing. He ENJOYS being evil. That's his style. I'm the one trying to do everything good, and to be honest, FallOut3 gets tedious before you even reach Megaton. And a challenge makes the game more fun. Better? Probably not. Borderlands is packed with humor, challenges, loads of small sidequests and plenty of areas to shoot things. Also, Borderlands has changes in style in pretty much every area, sometimes small but sometimes also quite different.. Whereas FO3 is .. dusty pretty much everywhere, with broken buildings and the like.. The DLC were the only things with different areas. Borderlands had a good, solid story that fit the overall style of the game, whereas FallOut3.. well, even once you've found your father OR NOT you're still gonna be wandering around wondering what the deal is. And Console? SRSLY? Fuck controller usage for FPS games. Even if it is more RPG than FPS. Whereas Borderlands.. is more FPS than RPG. Edited by Speedy, Dec 27 2010, 11:05 AM.
