Take a great game like fallout 3 an add more thing. Fractions, ton more weapons, appeal,companions, EFFECTIVE SNIPING WITHOUT BEING SPOTTED, nice scenery, and u got FNV. I loved fallout 3 but I always got bothered by 3 things. All areas looked the same in fallout3 except for oasis. Travaling to new areas required you to go underground all the time. And guns weren't very good. Sniping never worked assault rifles were just bad. Only guns I used were Lincoln. Repeter and 10mm smg. Am sure we can all agree that vages has given us a beatiful scenary. Go get a rebreather and tell me swimming under. Water ain't cool. Guns in vages actully rock. Melée weapons as well:). So again f3 was great but we now have more options. Everyone loves choices. And a game with detail. FNV is very detailed and for that I love it.
I like traveling through the underground subway systems. And prowling around DC Wasteland. And I love the atmosphere of FO3.
I don't think one game is better than the other. They are just different in some ways. Both are fun to play. I do think most people have a preference for one over the other. My preference would be FO3. And that is mainly because I like exploring and FO3 has a lot more to offer in that area. FONV has the fabulous companions and Companion Wheel, cool guns and a better storyline. The writing is better and the dialog options are better, but I don't give a damn who gets the dam. And there are a lot of quests I don't care about either.
I always choose to be a sniper in my games. When I first shot the sniper rifle in FONV I was in hog heaven. It was great! BOOM! Then they ruined it with the latest patch. With the Sniper Rifle I was at least able to keep up with Boone. Now Boone is ruined as well.
Disappointing.
