:ph34r: if you like lots of exploring and fighting enemies and a more dynamic environment, i think replayability is bad, but if you're not really into exploration or fighting enemies as much and don't care about the empty desert environment, and more into the story and quests then it has more replayability. :lmao:

Okay, so we finally agree, Fallout 3's story svcked!

Good for you.

Might try and do a hardcoe playthrough :disguise:

For more Replayability, I would add more guest that didn't envalve anything to do with fractions. Kind of like Fallout 3 where you didn't have to follow the MQ but, just go do your own thing.And more dialog for the npc, cant stand talking to everybody and getting the same dialog,I KNOW PRIMM IS UNDER NCR ROLE!! But that what I think.

To me New Vegas has alot of replayability.

1) I learn of what happens to the people and places based on my actions. So I do different things in each play through and see what changes. Gives the game meaning like the Originals.

2) More quests and more unmarked quests then FO3.

3) There is more dialogue options. I can talk my way out of killing.

4) Better companions. Smarter and they have their own stories to tell.

5) I can make a more balanced character (more so before Dead Money)

6) I can interact with every faction in the game but for minor named raider groups, Jackals and Vipers.

In short I find there is alot of ways to play New Vegas. The people have backgrounds and so do the locations. Its a more advlt which is a plus for me.

Any more fo3 bashing and i'm going to report you .

Bashing on a game doesn't break the rules, a thread might get closed if the arguments get too heated or if someone starts baiting for the other users to flame him/her (flamebaiting.).
But other than that we have the right to post how much we absolutely despise a game.

The side quest were horrible in fonv go take this to that guy talk to him ano i'm a courier but jeez.I prefer fo3 sq power of the atom ,tenpenny tower ,those ,wasteland survival guide ,the family 1 bloodlines i think ,replicated man all epic were as fonv arcade gannon sq n maybe bos sq.

I'm sick of ppl bringing up fo3 when it's a discussion about FONV!!! be pro fonv not anti fo3 agggh im so annoyed gonna my beret.

1. Cause they were realistic and not theme park rides? But don't worry, there are sidequests in NV of the "epic" proportions, they are just mixed in with the mundane realistic quests.
2. Power of atom: blow up a town for some rich old guy's giggles, yeah, great quest, Tenpenny Tower, the most illogical settlement in the entire Fallout lore, great place, Wasteland Survival Guide, do random jobs for a lunatic, fun, but not understandable, Family Bloodlines, fake vampires, yay, couldn't vampires just have oh I dunno stayed in Elder Scrolls? Replicated Man, so the amazing ZAX computers are about as big as an ice cream truck in the Fallout universe yet they are able to create such an advanced android in the wasteland, yup, good lore right there.

Point is; yeah the quests had that "EPIC!" stamp on them but they made no sense and just fumbled with the lore or felt out of place.

/some of this is IMO.


It's about replayability and some people feel that FO3 had better, it's still ontopic, and discussing the replayability between the two games is also still on topic.

I am sick of people bringing up Fallout New Vegas in every discution. So welcome to the interent.

We bring up Fallout 3 in this Topic simply because Fallout 3 is the only New Fallout to Compair it to.

I was notbashing Fallout 3. What you just said is Bashing New Vegas. I did not say anything bad about Fallout 3 in my post. You think the side quests svck, good for you. I don't. You're not going to covince me other wise. I was just posting why I think New Vegas has replayability.

To me Replayability means I will be picking up the game 10 years from now and playing it again. Like I do with the Originals. I play them a couple of times a year.

Vampires yes theres alot of throwbacks to vampires in bloodlines but they arnt vampires did you do bloodlines there modern day cannibals that seem to think they are vampires and try to be but there just caniabals.Ohh yeah i forgot fisto is REALISTIC.

You do that, I'm bashing it because they are bashing New Vegas.

Calm down. Simply saying "Has more" does not equal "Fallout 3 is a total piece of crap!" So get over it.

Criticism of a game does not mean people hate it or are bashing it.

Seems we have to start get technical here: "Realistic within the series set rules of lore".
And I know they're not "really" vampires but still, what did Fallout "not" have before? Vampires or vampire wannabes. What did Oblivion and Morrowind have? Vampires.
I think that Bethesda needs to get over their weird obsession for vampires and leave them and wannabe vampires out of Fallout.
Yet, sadly enough, it's canon...

Oh and by the way, the oh so fun thing I have to say each time: I do not hate Fallout 3 completely, it's an awesome game on it's own merits, spent 800+ hours on it, as a Fallout game on the other hand it's the second worst, first being The Burned Game.

But there already are six robots.

Google it.

Anyways, I've played through New Vegas many times, so I'd say it has great replayability. That being said, I did the same with Fallout 3.

So you're complaining that they play dress up and svck each other?ps sorry for saying fonv sq svck because they don't it was heat of the moment and i enjoyed bleed me dry.

svck each other ey? :shifty:

Nah what I'm complaining about is that it's out of place, in FO3 we barely have any mundane quests of normal people needing help with normal things.
It's always gotta be some big epic journey/adventure, so a simple mail delivery turned into a cult of technically cannibals preying on the nearby "town's" brahmin herd.
That's what irritated me about it, not just that specific quest, but the overall design of all sidequests and towns.

:foodndrink:

Nuka cola challenge ,GNR quest(get a dish pretty mundane) wasteland survival guide has load of mundane quests yet still fun.

Just i think it's silly to say that people who have vampire fetishes is unrealistic in a place where theres a guy tree thing.

Nuka Cola Challenge: Help a lunatic woman get more radioactive drinks, mundane perhaps but still pointless, it's a collection quest basically and for what reason? So she can have the ultimate collection of Nuka Cola crap.
GNR: Get a dish from a museum filled with mutants and other "cool things". Yep pretty mundane I guess, I go to museums all the time to fight hordes of mutants to get radio dishes so I can help a wasteland hear public service announcements.
Survival Guide: What part of this quest is logical? The part where I should attract radiation to myself or the part where I'm to hurt myself to the brink of death?


"Just i think it's silly to say that people who have vampire fetishes is unrealistic in a place where theres a guy tree thing."
Harolds mutation was somewhat understandable, he was unique, and sure enough what happened to him in FO3 was most likely going to happen to him at some point, but Bethesda killed him off right there for no reason, they took the one returning character and killed him by rooting him to the ground.
Trust me, I dislike what they did to Harold more than I dislike them having pretend vampires.

I don't think any of us our in a position to say definitvely which game has more replayability. Why? Because replayabliity is a personal preference. A game that someone can play for a year or more, someone else may play for a day or two and feel "done". I have a friend who played both Fallout 3 and New Vegas until he reached max level on each one. Then he put them away and hasn't played them since.

My personal preference for replayability is Fallout 3 as I prefer a game that doesn't put emphasis on its story, and I think that while I love New Vegas, I may get tired of doing the (amazing) quests faster than I got tired of exploring Fallout 3's gameworld.

Ok cherry picker how bout when you have to kill mole rats with a stick or just visit minefield.Im sorry you can't give you're package to a guy like the 50 opportunitys in fonv .
