Fallout 3 vs Horizon Forbidden West
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.
Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon Forbidden West lets you join Aloy in the 2nd part of her journey. This time, you will explore the picturesque and majestic yet perilous frontier of the now-ruined city of San Francisco set in the far-flung future. You’ll recognize various landmarks, sunken or otherwise, including the Golden Gate Bridge.As the series heroine, you will investigate the sources of vicious storms and blight, threatening to destroy the land and wipe out the remaining enclaves of humanity and life on Earth itself. Aloy needs to restore balance to the world and uncover the mysteries behind these events. Unfortunately, things aren’t straightforward since she has to contend with new and familiar enemies. You’ll need to deal with snake-like machines, humongous elephants, as well as those that exist underwater. Moreover, hostile human tribes are more advanced since they now mount machines of their own and are capable of controlling combat-class machines bent on destruction. Thankfully, Aloy still has her trusty bow and spear, able to take out enemies using her arsenal of arrows and advanced combat abilities.
Horizon Forbidden West is one of PlayStation’s first exclusives in this new console generation (though it’s compatible with the PS4), and it promises to be another adventure worth undertaking.
