Borderlands vs Fallout 3
Borderlands
Borderlands is one of the craziest RPG/FPS games ever, not only because of its over-the-top characters and their dialogues but also the ridiculously whacky storyline. Join in the insanity by playing as one of four trigger-happy mercs and engage in frantic shootouts with a wide (dungeon crawlers' definition of "wide") arsenal of weapons ranging from rocket-launching shotguns to SMGs spitting out fire rounds that literally set your enemies ablaze! You can also enjoy some intense vehicular combat if guns are just too "mainstream" for you. Team with up to 4 friends as you traverse the vast, lawless and barren planet of Pandora in search of The Vault... or you can just play solo - the game doesn't mind either way.Even Borderlands' bold art style add loads to elevate the game's craziness meter to a whole new level. The game's just all around fun especially for fans of shooter games that have a huge dose of absurdity and whimsy in it and if you like the sound of this game, then Borderlands is a game you'll need to play!
Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is the epic second sequel in the Fallout series, one of the world's most highly acclaimed RPGs of all time. Why is this sequel so special? Well, in addition to the many iconic features that had rocketed this game franchise to fame (and a ton of profit), Fallout 3 took a huge leap forward by turning its previously isometric/2.5D graphics into glorious 3D with a nice first- or third-person view. The characters in the game also got a nice revamp and now has more realistic expressions and behaviour that will astound you! These major changes added a whole lot of immersion to the game, allowing players to truly be able to experience what it's like to be dumped into a post-apocalyptic wasteland and given the freedom to do whatever they like.However, this brilliant new change somewhat dulls in comparison to the game's amazing V.A.T.S. which allow you to literally pause during combat and decide which body part you want to aim your gun at. Each part will have a percentage showing the chance of success. Best yet, you can even queue up multiple shots, allowing you to sometimes take out multiple enemies at once!
Fallout 3 is possibly as revolutionary as the original first game, though there are some players that have some qualms about the V.A.T. system. If you'd like to play a Fallout game that's as close to the latest game (Fallout 4) as possible, then Fallout 3 or even Fallout New Vegas are great game choices for you.
