Fallout: New Vegas vs Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
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).
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the last chapter where you play as Solid Snake as he pursues his arch nemesis, Liquid Ocelot. Set 5 years after the events in Metal Gear Solid 2. Liquid Ocelot is poised to take control of the world's most powerful AI system, the Sons of the Patriots, and if this happens, all the PMCs worldwide will be in serious trouble.The game has been hailed by many as an epitome of the stealth-based action-adventure game franchise and perhaps one of the greatest games of all time. The gameplay is as epic as ever, and the graphics and sound even more so. The storyline is very well-written and paced as well, giving players the chance to experience a new level of immersion that was previously unheard of.
If you own a PlayStation 3, you might want to give this game a try, especially if you've enjoyed any of the Metal Gear Solid games so far.
