Could've FONV been different?

I have played the originals actually. I still own them.
They are old outdated games. FO3 and NV are both much better games.
I dont blame new gamers for not wanting to play them. The past is where they should remain

It's fun how you talk about old and outdated things and that these things should just remain in the past, yet you have the Red Baron's Fokker triplane as an avatar. Isn't that too outdated to be of any interest? Shouldn't you have a more modern aircraft as an avatar instead? I think you should.

It's the "forget the past" mentality that's wrong with the gaming industry. Companies just plainly ride on the past success' (because they have no ideas of their own or are too lazy to come up with anything?) while blatantly ignoring what made the past a success and liked. See XCOM FPS, Syndicate FPS, Fallout FPS, etc.... All that just riding on the label and ignoring what those games were, and why people liked them.

Now, before you open your yap about how I, after having said that, must think that gaming should still be in the state it was in the 90's... evolving is necessary, but mutating isn't.

I liked Syndicate Wars... I have not even dared to look at gameplay footage of the new Syndicate :/ Another Bullfrog game I'd love a sequel to would be Dungeon Keeper, but that would probably be horrible, probably making it an FPS where you just control Horny..

Probably a lesser known one, Shadowrun FPS. Curse you MS :swear:

Well, personally I love the old, especially WW1 stuff so the triplane is actually pretty cool to me... and so are Fallout 1 and 2... (oh, and an old game I have called Flying Corps, it's like the first flight combat simulator taking place in WW1. One of the few games about WW1 too. It's pretty cool, hehe, just love how the planes are built from wood so snapping your enemies' wings off gives a very satisfying sound and a nice little spin downwards)

Why would anyone get mad at you over that? At most you'll get a comment about liking bland and cheap cheesiness with no real goal to it, and a mention about Fallout 3's Falloutyness.

I liked fallout 3 the most, but I agree with people when they say the originals and New Vegas are better. And I respect "dinosaurs" appreciation for them.

(I've also played all of them)

I'm surprised you haven't found that breathing has become too cool yet.

Opinions are like holes, everyone has one, but that doesn't make your opinion fact.

I agree with the rest of the Dino's and majority of the people of this thread. Without playing the originals; you really have no right saying how Fallout should be, as you haven't even made the effort to find out what it really should be by playing the originals. That's why the OP doesn't make sense, it's not because of fan-boy-ism, it's because they don't know what the hell they are talking about, expecially when people start spewing nonsense that FO3 is how the series should be. It's the black sheep of the family and always will be, unless Bethesda screw up FO4 too, then 3 will have company.

I agree with Styles in saying that if you only like one game in a large series then you don't have a right to call yourself a fan of that series. I'm a huge fan of the Age of Empires series because I've played all of the games and expansions and think that they are all near perfect RTS'. I wouldn't call myself a Warcraft fan because though I did really enjoy Warcraft 2, I was a bit let down by Warcraft 3 and I have little interest in playing the original. If you love Fallout 3, but hated all of the other Fallout games then you are a Fallout 3 fan. Though no one should have the audacity to call themselves a Fallout fan without at the very least a respect for what the originals did. Playing them isn't even required to be a Fallout fan, just a knowledge and respect for where this series came from.

I was just thinking...could've Fallout: New Vegas been different? It was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks (obviously). If Bethesda both developed and published it, could it have been a slightly different game? To me FONV did not feel like a "real" Fallout. Don't ask me why, because they look and feel the same (kind of). This is kind of a hard topic to explain but I did my best to explain it to you the best I could. Just give me your opinion about this and why.

Yes. I agree with you completely. I will hope that bethesda will make next fallout.

Fallout 3 just feels more fallouty than fallout new vegas. Fallout 3 has interesting places and locations, interesting quests, interesting loot, interesting and epic factions. Fallout new vegas is otherhand just a another generic game.

No, it doesnt. Fallout 3 is not a good Fallout game, because it feels only 50 years after the war.

The only good part about it is the Aliens, which automatically makes it my favorite game.

While I do agree that the locations in Fallout 3 were better the quests and factions were linear and uninteresting imo. Why is a good vs evil questline interesting and epic. Fallout 3 was not anything like previous fallouts so it is not more fallouty than New Vegas. The reason it feels more like a wasteland is because Bethesda doesn't like their games to make sense and therefore they made D.C. feel like it was 50 years after the war instead of 200.

To me FO3 had good locations to explore (metro stations, abandoned factories, sewers) unlike NV which had interesting locations but hardly did anything with them unless they had sidequests tied to them. SuperNallePuh I honestly don't understand. How are the factions in Fo3 epic and interesting? There are only 2 factions that actually matter in Fo3: the Enclave and the BoS. The former doesn't pop up until final act and the latter is something your forced to join and doesn't respond to your actions no matter how evil you are. Both factions have the same problem though: Bethesda didn't do anything interesting with them both.

The reason this guy said FO3 felt more like a Fallout game then FONV is because he [censored] started with FO3. Duh.

So if you don't like the originals or want to play an outdated relic of a game like FO1 & 2 then you cant call yourself a true fallout fan??? haha
What does it mean 'being a true fallout fan'?? NOTHING
If you like a any fallout game your a fallout fan
@styles, You seem to be on this forum an awful lot arguing about the same old things time and time again. I think you need to get out more

No it means you are a fan of that individual game and not the series as a whole. Seriously how can you hate the Originals and New Vegas and yet be a fan of Fallout when the only game you like is Fallout 3? Again I am talking in general and not just to you.
