Fallout: New Vegas vs Just Cause
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas is what many hardcore fans of the popular game franchise called a "spin-off" but even so, the game is incredibly well-done in terms of its gameplay and graphics. You'll get to experience a whole new "world" (the map of post-apocalyptic Vegas... a.k.a. New Vegas) filled with plenty of hidden secrets and interesting quests to discover. There is also a more intriguing connection between the characters in this game, allowing for an epic power struggle between factions to realistically play out... with some nudging of your own, of course.The game even boasts of a new features like a companion wheel so you can order your companion around in a smoother manner, as well as a weapon configuration system that may not be as in-depth as in Fallout 4 but it definitely paves the way to the incredible weapon crafting/customization system that the game uses today.
The most unfortunate part about this game though is that it's riddled with quite a lot of glitches - none of which are truly gamebreaking but they can be rather immersion-breaking. Nonetheless, despite being kind of like the black sheep in the family, Fallout: New Vegas is still a fantastic open world RPG with one of the creepiest Fallout DLCs (IMHO).
Just Cause
Just Cause is the game to play if you enjoy just destroying anything and everything in your way while enjoying movie-like quality stunts and slow motion effects, which will naturally make your character look super cool. Featuring a wide variety of weapons and vehicles (sea, land and air), Rico (the character you'll be playing as) also has his iconic wingsuit which allows you to explore the island of San Esperito by air and grappling hook that allows you to use scale previously impossible cliffs or sides of buildings and more.Similar to Fallout, Just Cause provides players with total and complete freedom to do whatever they like, however they like. This applies to the game's many missions, side missions, bonus missions and more. The best part about this game though is its over-the-top stunts which in some way parody the crazy cinematically enhanced stunts and effects that many blockbuster Hollywood films use.
Although the storyline in this game falls flat, Just Cause gotten its golden ticket to fame due to the insane amount of explosive destruction that you are allowed to do and the awesome way your character looks when you do it. In a way, Just Cause is a game that's designed as a game-based release valve for all the penned up rage and stress from your everyday lives, giving you a vast game world (and perhaps egging you on) to smash virtual things and people in.
