Fallout 3 vs Oblivion

Fallout 3 vs Oblivion

When i got my hands on Oblivion, i was soo excited, after spending a couple of weeks drooling over screenshots and u tube vids, i had it, i had made it, i now belonged to a elite group of RPG'ers, who for us, it was nothing to sit down and play in tamerial for 30 hours +

 

Elder Scrolls 4 had it all gameplay was slick/great graphics/huge landscape/magic/quests/spells,and RATS you name it, Bethdesa Studios made sure we had it ,this game was a real "life sucker" with over 30+ hours to get anywhere in the game it had longevity written all over it.

 

Now when i heard that Bethdesa Studios were releasing Fallout 3 i had that same "giddy" feeling i had when Obilivion was released after checking out the interviews and vids i kinda liked what i saw cept for a couple of things.

 

Note this is just my personal opinion, plus game is not out yet so i may be completing wrong :)

 

A few things i was not stoked about, to me the targeting system really seems weird, i mean having to stop and target body parts of "bad guys", and have the parts highlight in bright green really loses the immersion for me, then again  i have not played it so it might work really well, just looks a bit strange.

 

Secondly target range seems a bit floaty and character interaction seems a little choppy. Saying that i have a feeling the game will be awesome tho, Bethesda are a great company. Fallout 3 will have there distinctive flavour to it, plus 30+ hours, will make it an epic RPG.

 

Soo only one question remains, who thinks Fallout 3 can shake Obilvion off it's really high castle???

 

Lets hope it can at least match it aye, we will find out soon enough.. thanks for reading, leave comments..

:)

 

BOOM!

That targeting thing you are talking about is called VATS, Vault-Tec assisted targeting system. They put it in place to add a strategic element to the game which is understandable considering the first two are rpgs. You don't have to use VATS though if you don't like it. Just as you don't have to use magic in Oblivion. The game is tailored to suit your style of play which in my opinion is what makes Bethesda games so good.

Yeah, would def get GOW2, currently don't have a 360 :(. Will proberly buy one eventually, they are pretty cheap at the mo, bout $6 hundy for an elite bundle:)
Fallout is looking pretty good, will proberly get it, love RPG's. Thanks Xyttik for explaining the VATS targeting system, sounds like it's a good idea and should work well in the game.

You can't really compare GoW2 and Fallout 3. GoW2 is a linear game that has about 6 hours play time. Fallout 3 is an open world game in which the possibilities are quite endless i've heard that endings count number in the thousands.

Im going with Fallout 3.

Not much of a fan of the setting of oblivion, with all that old viking/castle crap.

Fallout will be trying to shake Oblivion off it's high castle, then Oblivion will be all like "Migika or w/e", then Fallout will be like "Pitiful harman, you are my father". Then they'll shake hands, cause that's what I'd do if I was a geologist.

Oblivion took a certain type of gamer to play. Not everyone could pick it up and be immersed in it, whereas since fallout 3 has guns more people should be able to get into it.

I'm so getting Fallout 3. I've been avoiding reviews and previews for it because I didn't when I was waiting for Oblivion and I think it took away the elemnt of surprise and mystery

Fallout shouldn't be compared to Oblivion, it uses the same engine but massively tweaked and that's where the similarities end. It's it's own beast and it IS a beast. I've enjoyed it way more than Oblivion, and I had HEAPS of fun with Oblivion so that's really saying something

fall out beats oblivion by far.
fall out you shape the world around you as u go.
oblivion you can do any thing but do the quest they dont change any thing the world stays the same

ps. can you blow up a whole town in oblivion with a nuke?

BOOM!
