Fallout 3 vs Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
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.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is one of the best games when it comes to the Lord of the Rings franchise... and yes, as much as we've enjoyed it, this means this game is way better than Lord of the Rings Online. Featuring a gameplay that may bring to mind other action-oriented RPGs like Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham and even Prince of Persia, Shadow of Mordor is a game that rewards stealthy attacks and yet if you prefer going after your opponents head-on, you can. Of course, the game is literally covered - oozing, in fact - with sweet, honey-like lore from the Lord of the Rings universe, and its graphics and soundtracks are simply superb.That said, the best part in this game is how everything major thing you do has an impact on the virtual world and this is best seen through the game's revolutionary Nemesis system. As the game progresses, you'll also unlock a wide variety of really cool abilities, one of which will allow you to mind-control orcs and turn them into your very own personal army.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is perhaps one of the best RPGs out there that, despite its not-so-short 3 years on the market, the game has garnered overwhemingly positive reviews from both critics and fans alike.
