Fallout: New Vegas vs Far Cry 3
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).
Far Cry 3
Far Cry 3 is the third installment in the Far Cry franchise that's unsurprsingly set on another beautiful tropical island. However, in this game, you'll be battling warlords who own slave rings in an attempt to try to rescue your friends. You'll also meet some really odd and disturbed people along the way; people whose loyalty changes whenever it suits them.Being an open world game, you are given complete freedom when deciding on how to approach an objective. There are plenty of vehicles for you to use as well as tons of weapons that can be customized. Far Cry 3 also has a co-op aspect where you can play with up to 4 of your friends via campaign mode, or you can also play the multiplayer mode where team-play is highly emphasized. Best yet, the game even has a map editor, allowing players to create new content for other players to enjoy.
Featuring gorgeous graphics, a crazy yet engaging storyline as well as a fun and flexible gameplay, Far Cry 3 is an amazing sequel to the franchise. If you love Far Cry, you'll enjoy this version of it.
