Not gonna lie, initially I found Fallout New Vegas to be way too boring, but once I got through the first few quests, built up my character, explored the Mojave, got to know the characters and factions, and played around with the weapons. Holy shit, NV was a piece of art.
4 was good, but I felt that it sacrificed much of the deep RPing that made New Vegas so great. I was not a fan of the simplified perk system and in terms of exploration, there's a lot of locations but I got through most of the quests pretty quickly. Compared to NV where I still haven't beaten the game and am still uncovering new, interesting quests.
Same here man. I got NV and I pretty much just abandoned it but after a bit I came back and finished the opening quests and holy moly was I hooked. Then I discovered the modding scene. NV has over 500 hours on my steam now
I think 4 gets the short end of the stick. People make it out to be the worst game ever but it's not it's just a bit more of a departure from the other ones. Would have preferred it if they left the main character unvoiced and left the characters backstory up to you. Still waiting on a fallout game that lets you play as a teenager though. Although it would get a lot of flack for portraying a teen blowing peoples heads off.
Fallout 3: A rushed feeling, a feeling of no hope. No future. Fallout NV: Western, desolate, empty, but there's something there. Fallout 4: Gentle, hopeful.
I feel like the reason why NV has the happiest sounding theme, to you, is because it's a game that isn't that serious. I mean yeah the story has a deep meaning and huge choices. Like side with slavers, side with rich guy who wants to dictate, neutral, or bring some form of control. But really? You can fuck a robot, and a whole lot of crazy shit.
Inigo The Man Iniho Maybe you're right, maybe that's because I never liked Fallout 3.When playing it, I've always felt like if I play more Fallout 3, I would start to cut myself. Also, in Fallout 3, I'm the guy who just puriffied the water in D.C, maybe did some other cool stuff, but.... In New Vegas....I could be the one who enslaved the whole Mojave, or become the most Murican' man by helping the NCR reestablish democracy in the Mojave, and maybe later the whole country, or fuck those factions, I could take the Mojave Dessert for myself.
Also, after 48 hours played in Fallout 4, I started to get really borred, but, when I will get my radeon 390x, I will start modding the shit out of Fallout 4 (Like I did to Skyrim, NV and Fallout 3) P.S: I love the classical Fallouts (1,2 and tactics)
fallout: find a water chip. fallout 2: find the G.E.C.K. fallout 3: find your runaway dad. Fallout 4: Where's shaun? Fallout New Vegas: Find that sissy boy who shot you.
fallout: get involved a project of human genetic improvement fallout 2: get involve to dismantle the American soldiers fallout 3: same shit as 2 but now you also need to win the water purifier fallout nv: get involve to a war faction to control the last remain of America city fallout 4: get involve to a conspiracy of a Institute life creator lead by your son
fallout 1: grab that water chip and smack the master's ass fallout 2: get that GECK and blow the enclave into little pieces fallout tactics: nuke a damn vault door open and smash a calculator fallout brotherhood of steel: take the disc outside and hit it with a sledgehammer fallout 3: find ur daddy and hit the enclave with a belt again to start ur water purifier fallout NV: find the little asshole who shot u in the face and decide the fate of the mojave fallout 4: walk out of a refridgerator, find the retard that killed ur wife, locate your dumbass son, and decide the fate of the commonwealth fallout 76: give todd howard ur money, get scammed, and then listen to terminals and holotapes to serve as a main story
Fallout 1 War Never Changes Fallout 2 War Never Changes Fallout 3 War Never Changes Fallout NV War Never Changes Fallout 4 War Never Changes Fallout 76 War Has Changed It Has Microtransactions Now
3: The world is brutal and cruel. It's time for war, time to take it back. NV: The road is lonely, the wasteland wants you and the armies hunt you. Little they know, YOU are the scariest thing in the Mojave 4: You're alone. Everything has been stolen from you. But even in heartache and dissolution, you fight. You saw the world end, now you're going to recreate it.
Fallout 3's theme is the to Armies of steel clashing together. Fallout New vegas' theme is the sight of horror the Legion leaves in its trail with the NCR trying to reclaim it. Fallout 4's theme is hope for the Commonwealth to rebuilf
Fallout 3 sounds like the intro to some movie and worrisome, while New Vegas feels more desolate and empty but there's some good, while Fallout 4 sounds more hopeful.
Fallout 3 is all about survival in a completely hostile world. Fallout New Vegas is about finding your way in a strange world. Fallout 4 is about creating something for yourself in the world.
I dont care what anyone else things, but I put all Fallout games on the same level - 3, New Vegas, 4... They were all AMAZING games, and nobody can tell me otherwise.
I really love the opening leitmotif that’s carried over the 3D games, each with a different sound to them to match the setting. The destroyed, militaristic beats of Fallout 3, the western, imperialistic horns of New Vegas, and the epic, optimistic piano keys of Fallout 4, but all the same notes. It never changes.
Fallout 3 = action, metallic, like battle and war: Fallout NV = kinda western and deserty with a little revenge: Fallout 4 = sad, depressing, but also to rebuild and explore. All are epic, addicting games that I put a combined 50 days into
@@Dan4G I dont know dudebro I just said it cause I wasn’t a huge fan of the sole survivor and like sure he survived but like it was intentional that he was left alive and I felt it didn’t make him a “survivor” to me if that makes sense
Fallout 3: hmm WHERE IS MY DADDY Fallout new vegas: hhmmmm uuuuh, man aint that a kick in the head..........ow Fallout 4: hmmm cold cold.........(wonders)...................WHERE IS SHAUN....NORA NOOOOOOOOO
Fallout NV really clicked with me. I loved Fallout 3, but the story kind of erked me, not being able to be truly evil, such as siding with the enclave truly. When I got to FNV, I'll admit I had a hard time pressing through it because the beginning is so slow. I got to the DLC's and closer to the end and I fell in love. Fallout NV has a replayability that most games can't even conceive, i mean the developers, while being cut short on time, really put a lot of thought into the different endings. You can get at least 3 different endings for each factions based on just the karma alone. Fallout NV really was spectacular, and I played the SHIT out of it. I think I have somewhere around 700 Hours because with mods the game was different every time, but still the same beautiful game. Without mods I still have a lot of time logged, but the way that the developers left it just made it a wonderland for so many mods to spice up gameplay. A truly remarkable story and game, one of the few more modern games that I would rate a 10/10.
Jazzy Wood the controls are really hard to get used to if you played the later fallouts. Also when you get the classics 1-2 there is a manual. A pdf that has the title manual in the files.
3. Setting the mood of despair and destruction and introducing an iron fist NV. The struggle and attempt of survival in a depressing dried up area 4. You arose above the rest and have found your path. You know where the road goes but also don’t know what lies on the path to peace
In my opinion Fallout 3's theme is the best because it gives you a feeling of despair. It has the feeling of a deadly wasteland and a struggling society trying to survive in the deadly environment.
Confession time, I bought Fallout 4 on launch day (it came out on my 17th birthday) and I hated it initially, being a huge fan of 3 (I've barely played New Vegas). But I picked it up again a few weeks ago and I've grown to love it. It has its flaws, yeah, but it still has so many great things and is a bunch of fun to explore. I can finally say I like the combat in Fallout now, it's really fun for me.
It was the same for me. 3000 or more hours in FO3 and a little bit over 300 in NV and now that I tested FO4 for 150 hours i can honestly say that this game is better then its predecessors. Not FO4's quests but the constant moral dilemma. You just can't save everyone and you decide who is going to die. The future of the world or you and your familiy? Pure Drama.
Fallout 3 will always be the greatest Fallout. That feeling of desolation, in a destitute unforgiving world, where even the ending kicks you in the chin. The theme is perfect. Fallout 3 was more about surviving than thriving, which is what makes a Fallout game great.
I, personally, think fallout 3 was one of the worse fallout games (and it was my first fallout game ever and I still love it it's still by far a tremendous game) but Fallout NV and 2 were amazing in the rpg factor I feel in fallout 3 there isn't much of a choice and everyone just follows the arrow like mindless zombies
Fallout 3: AN ATTACK OF LIFE AND END OF ALL. Fallout NV: The beautiful Mojave wild west. full of NCR AND LEGIONARIES AND seems to be a ranger OFF THE THE BATTLE. Fallout 4: Hope and begining to life like the world has just fallen and reborn.
I like fallout 3 the most bc of how dark and gloomy it is. Hell even the theme has a very ominous dark sound. With fallout nv and 4 it's a more sunny and happy setting but with 3 it really feels like the end of the world and the horrors of the apocalypse. Idk that my 2 cents ig
Fallout 3 is dark, but theres moments. Fallout NV was uplifting but it was dark and cruel just like 3 Fallout 4 had more happy moments than the other 2. But the most unsettling and dark Fallout was the 1st Fallout game. The soundtrack already gives you the idea of what it would be like.
Imo the reason why New Vegas was the best is because it's best combination of happiness and horrors of apocalipse. Sometimes you will encounter something hilarious, other time - something dark.
Fallout 4 theme is my favorite. After waiting so many years for another game combined with the increasing tempo of the theme I was practically yelling the first time I heard it.
They should remaster fallout 3, when I first played the game I didn't even realize it take place in washington dc, the game would be cooler if they show the place settings more clear.
Yeah me too. I had this realization in the game where once I stepped outside vault 101, I no longer felt safe. Checked my pipboy to find a 10mm pistol, a bb gun, a baseball bat, and 1 stimpak... perfect
Fallout 3 intro gives me goosebumps every time. What a game. The first time I was like "wtf is going on?" Or "Jizzus a fucking behemoth" and "Sheeeeeeeiiiiitt a deathclaw". All the heart attacks every time ghouls charged me. I was so scared to play it when I was alone. I've died again, again and again, but I loved it from the beginning and I'll love it till the end of my days.
bro i was playin fallout 3 and i stumbled across a raider camp that was east of girdershade i think? i go there and shoot em all, then i see a FUCKIN BEHEMOTH that somehow caged up, and this stupid star paladin i was travelling opened the cage up, got absolutely steamrolled by the mutant, and then i got crushed.
Fallout 3 - Epic. Good start for something you probably will spend 100s of hours playing. Fallout new vegas - Western, masterpiece and legendary writing. Stuck to the originals. Fallout 4 - Save a settlement.
@@casket99s it doesnt remove the fact that it's annoying that abernathy farm needs help with some bloatflys that are all the way across the map for the 9387204th time
Hoping the next Fallout allows for co op like a friend online can be your companion. Don't need a bunch of people because it would ruin the experience but it would be cool to have a friend. Don't know how they can make VATS work when one person is in it and the other now.
the only way to make it possible would be to make it where only your game is affected...like if there was online and everyone used vats it wouldn't matter but if one dudes in vats and someone else is strafing he's seeing it like he'd see it in vats now but we'd be moving the same speed (bc technically vats is just like turbo from new vegas now. it just slows things down some)
+Naethan Carter Yes, I loved that bit in fallout 4 when a man living in pre war Boston was frozen with his wife and infant son and the wife was killed and the son taken, I really DO definitely not sarcastically SEE what you mean by stolen story! lmao
All of the fallout games have their own special charm. Fallout 4, by far, had the best gameplay. You really felt like you were the character as you played. But, if we go by the Bethesda Fallouts, I liked 3 the most, due to the compelling story and incredibly dark theme.
All three games have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. There all solid games and i hate fans screaming at other people for liking the games they don't like
One thing these themes sure do share: The looming dread of a catastrophe...the inescapable catastrophe that one day will hit you anyway...no matter how much you try to avoid it: *FALLOUT.EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING*
In only months of playing fallout 4 I beat the game 4 separate times and yet the only thing I have left is to wait in my maxed out settlement for two hours for the happiness to go up.
When i was a kid i first played Fallout New Vegas for the first time and was stocked to get to the city and check it out and that... that decision... is when i came across my first Deathclaw that shit legit terrified me as a kid having a little hunting rifle at L-3 with a big ass deathclaw running at you like a fucking demon...
Jose Raya load up fallout new Vegas. First studio name you see is Bethesda. It may have used ideas from van Buren, but the game is made by Bethesda with help
Fallout New Vegas is with out doubt my second most favourite Fallout game in the series so far, although Fallout 3's themes has to be the best and most intense version of all of the themes (Btw my favourite fallout game is Fallout 2)
Fo3 theme: *its me against the world* Fnv theme: *What I do right now changes the Mojave* Fo4: *A New beginning and a New world guess war never changes*
Altough Fallout 4 is the weakest in the series, it's a great game anyway, and its soundtrack is completely beatiful, comparisons with Fallout 3 and NV killed it...
As people have said, great game, bad Fallout game. It didn't capture the RPG choice-driven roots of its predecessors. Still, by itself, it was a DAMN good game that I loved every minute of! I feel got my pre-order's worth!
@@ItsAhexhonestly despite fo76 being better now, I still think it lacks the rpg roots that birthed the series and makes me a lil sad. I hope fo5 ends up being a worthy fallout game but starfield makes me nervous
This evolution is literally the exact opposite of what happened to TES. The themes here get progressively calmer while in TES the themes get progressively more aggresive.
fallout 3's theme will always be my favorite as the simple low pitch beats at the beginning remind me of the vault with something emerging trying to give hope in the actual music but getting into struggle and fights (with the upbeat area near-ish the middle) ALSO: fallout N.V will be my favorite game though
Fallout 4 has to be the saddest game. You start out during the initial nuclear bombing of the greater Boston area. Cryogenically frozen for about 200 years, unfrozen to watch your husband/wife murdered, with your son taken away. You wake up some time later with no time to grieve to find your son, only to see the world you left, in complete ruin. But they do give you a silver lining for hope.
Fallout 3: the worlds foundations are gone and we’re fucked and there is no hope for humanity. New Vegas: Let’s go war!!! Fallout 4: The war has ended and its time to rebuild. The damage is not so bad as long as the foundations stay strong. Fallout 76: This game is fucked
Fallout 3 - the theme gives off a sensation of rising from the ashes to see a world long gone, hopeful to rebuild and prosper but only if sacrifices are made to make it happen Fallout: New Vegas - Looming warfare, the stench of death on the horizon, evoking the emotions not of virtue that come with war, but the sacrifices and blood spilled in its wake Fallout 4 - it falout 3 but ur a dad tis time xd buy our gaem
spenser ouraey I em fimalee 10 yeers ohwd so I cane buy a falnout gaem. *buys it and beats it* mane falnout new wegas and tree arrrrrr bade *secretly has never played those games*
