Fallout 3 vs Red Dead Redemption
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.
Red Dead Redemption
Red Dead Redemption is, as many called it, the defining game of the previous generation of consoles. Set in wild, wild west of 1911, you, playing as former outlaw John Marston, was forced to head back into the cradle of crime when a federal agents threatened your family. His goal? To hunt down the gang of criminals he once called friends and to hopefully and finally bury the hatchet of his blood-stained past. There are plenty of cover-based gun-slinging in this game, in addition to some fun mini-games prevalent back in the era, including blackjack and poker. You'll also need to do some odd jobs to make ends meet from time to time, which mostly involve hunting down animals and people alike. The replayability in this game is pretty sufficient as well since the game offers challenges and unique stranger missions aside from the main, story-driven quests.Red Dead Redemption has been hailed as one of the best Western-themed game of all time and we couldn't agree more. If you own a console and love wild west, you might want to check this game out!
