Fallout 3 vs Mad Max
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.
Mad Max
Mad Max lets you play as the enigmatic lone warrior, Mad Max himself, as you roam the brutal post-apocalyptic world to not only survive against the crazy bandits but also to take down the warlord. With a strong focus on insane vehicular combat, you'll need to scour the land for salvagable supplies and items so you could build the ultimate "death machine".As you might expect of a Mad Max-inspired game, there isn't any stealth elements to it although its gameplay may remind some of Shadow of Mordor, without all the magic stuff of course, as the game has a combo-based melee combat in addition to the mayhem you can cause with your guns and vehicles. Not to mention, the content in this game is simply huge, much like Ghost Recon Wildlands, though the game might not be as tactical or as team-oriented as the latter.
Mad Max is definitely the game to play if you're a fan of the franchise or enjoys open world shooters. Do give it a try!
