Darksiders vs Fallout 3
Darksiders
Darksiders is an action-adventure game with a rather dark theme. In this game, you'll assume the role of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War. Accused of causing a war between heaven and hell, you have been indicted for your crimes. However, you are given one last chance to return to Earth to search for the true culprits behind the bloodbath and perhaps prove your innocence. Being a Horseman, you have supernatural abilities in addition to an arsenal of weapons that will come in handy when you are hacking and slashing your way across a Hell-controlled Earth. There are tons of ways for you to develop your character as well, giving you the opportunity to customize War to fit your play style.Although the combat is satisfying, the gameplay can be somewhat repetitive after some time since all you need to do is to simply rack up your combos. The creatures and bosses you'll fighting against aren't too difficult either, making things rather boring after awhile. That being said, the game is pretty worth its price only for its epic Diablo-like story alone.
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.
