I'm surprised Fallout New Vegas made the list. Hopefully Fallout 3 is in the top 40. And wow they have Mass Effect 2 pretty low considering it got huge reviews and whatnot.


New Vegas is one of the best wrpgs of this generation, it definately deserves a top 100 spot. Fallout 3 and Skyrim will be in the top 40 easily despite the fact that New Vegas is far better than both of them.


It was great, but I disagree with it being better than Fallout 3. It's two years newer than F3 but on the exact same engine and the graphics/gameplay is no better, just as buggy (if not worse). And I like how they added in some stuff like aming down the sights of your weapon and adding modifications...but I hate certain things they did like how you only get a perk every other level-up and how to win a speech challenge your speech just has to be at a certain level and you automatically win it...I like the Fallout 3 system better where the higher your speech is the higher the chance you'll win it but there is never a guarantee (and you are never shut out from trying even if it's like a 5% chance). 

I really like New Vegas but Fallout 3 is easily in my top probably 5 games all time so no way I accept you calling New Vegas better. 


With your claim to fallout 3's superiority your only mentioning minor changes and faults, not the big scope that makes RPG'g great, such as story, characters and setting. New Vegas is superior for having a big branching story incorporating many factions and quests all over the wasteland that effect the final battle and ending and doesn't just have a singular straight line, the quests are interesting and have multiple ways of finishing and progressing through them. There are more memorable personalities in New Vegas and the setting offers a more intriguing setting with a great range of locations.

New Vegas also fits in with Fallout Lore a lot better than F3, linking up and referencing events in the previous games often, whilst F3 brought back the previously wiped out organisation of the enclave and introduced a BoS who acted nothing like the BoS to have a clean cut "good guys vs bad guys".

Whatever you think is better I reccomend to play at least 100 hours of NV (that's what it takes) before making a final decision.
