Fallout 2 vs Mafia III
Fallout 2
Fallout 2 is the next exciting sequel to one of the world's largest post-apocalyptic-themed RPG franchise, Fallout. Featuring the franchise's iconic open world where you are free to do whatever you like (you can opt to not follow the storyline as well), this sequel is jam-packed with even more varied characters, creatures and storylines that brings out the humanity in its players as they traverse the vast wasteland.As usual, the game provides players with in-depth character progressions in the form of its hallmark S.P.E.C.I.A.L. traits system along with the range of improvable skills that are often critical to ensure your survival in the harsh post-fallout world.
Fallout 2 doesn't really deviate much from the original first game, perhaps mainly because the developers are trying to play it safe, but it is still a great game to play.
Mafia III
Mafia III is the long-awaited second sequel to the popular mafia-themed action-shooter game, Mafia. Set in the 1968 after the Vietnam War, the game casts you into the role of Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam veteran who had his entire surrogate family, the black mob, wiped out by the Italian Mafia. Vowing revenge for your family, you'll need to build a new mafia from the ground up and bring the fight to the Italian mob. It is either you or them and there is no in-between.Similar to the previous, the game has the same brilliant gun fights, hand-to-hand melee combat as well as heart-pounding car chases with cops and rival mobs alike. You can even choose how you approach a mission the way you like due to the open world nature of the virtual city you'll be roaming around in. Of course, being the leader of a mafia, you will also need to make some hard decisions when deciding who to promote and who to let go as "a necessary casualty". One thing for sure, you'll do whatever it takes to avenge your brothers.
Despite some bugs and glitches, Mafia III is still a great sequel that fans of the series will most certainly enjoy. It still retains its deep gritty feel and the plot, although somewhat cliche (see: Saints Row), is good enough to keep the game going.
