Just found this thread.

Super stoked for FO4, have managed to avoid any spoilers whatsoever. All I know is the setting, which was widely known ages ago.

I nearly watched a spoiler video last night but the intro talked me out of it. However, I believe the following is true:

Spoiler: SPOILER ALERT

fallout 4 is fucking gorgeous so far

Question: If I've never played Fallout, would 3 or New Vegas be a better place to start? Figure I can spend $10 trying it out, even if open world stuff isn't usually my bag.

I'M SO.

FUCKING.

JEALOUS.

AGH.

p-edit: Zor definitely play 3 first.

In terms of gameplay, replayability and extra content, FONV is better

but

FO3 is the gateway. It's what will make you fall in love with the series.

Especially if this ^ is the case. FO3 is a bit more linear than FONV, and there's more guidance/direction.

Yeah I don't know if I would have enjoyed NV as much had I jumped in there, but once I was starting to get tired of 3 NV was just what I was looking for.

Personally, I'd say New Vegas. The different factions help make it a much more "alive" and enjoyable game, at least for me. FO3 is solid as well, but does much better with the Broken Steel add-on.

Holy fucking agreed. The first thunderstorm was amazing.

Seriously though, fuck that first Deathclaw.

Ythan · Post Post #63 (ISO) » Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:05 am

Obviously if you're gonna play 3 at this point do it with add-ons, especially broken steel.

zoraster · Post Post #64 (ISO) » Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:29 am

yeah i'd probably get the game of the year edition or whatever.

absolutely the way to go

FONV is GREAT but I think it would be overwhelming for someone who's never played Fallout before. Plus I dig the story better. And the radio. Threedog is irreplaceable. The guy who does the radio in FONV is horrible imo.

I can't beat this stupid death claw!! Wasted my mini gun shots before I knew it was there

That's the one that's just music, right? That's the only thing I listen to when I play. I couldn't stand the other dude. Turned him off right quick.

I wasn't a huge fan of FO3 but I loved New Vegas, so your mileage may vary.

I'm only a couple hours into FO4. Haven't even left the first area yet, but I feel like I'm already getting to that point in Bethesda games where I'm getting anxiety over how much shit there is to do.

hiplop · Post Post #70 (ISO) » Tue Nov 10, 2015 9:08 am

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I like structured, tight knit experiences lol

Too many options

Man I feel you on this.

ConManMick · Post Post #74 (ISO) » Tue Nov 10, 2015 9:21 am

Guys it's amazing, holy shit. Love the radio presenter

Edit: NV was amazing, my favourite by far. However the atmosphere of 3 was better IMO, it felt much more like you were actually struggling to survive. NV turned into Wasteland Jesus really quick
