Fable 2 or Fallout 3?

With this holiday season coming and the HUGE amount of games being released, Sarcasticgamer.com asks, if you only have time for one RPG this season, is it going to be Fable 2 or Fallout 3?

[Rick Astley]

Lol is this a joke?

Fallout 3 all the way.

[JSA-Gamer]

I dunno man, fable 2 looks pretty sweet.

[Rick Astley]

To compare Fable to a legendary franchise like Fallout is just idiotic. Just wait for the reviews and you'll see.

[JSA-Gamer]

Rick, the article wasn't comparing the games, but rather simply stated that the author wanted both but only had time for one, so which one should it be. Go profess your Fanboy love elsewhere.

Fable 2 is gonna be a good game, no matter how much crying and whining you do.

[UNCyrus]

How about Valkyria Chronicles?

[meepmoopmeep]

the PS3 version of Fable 2 is the one to get.
but a hardcore Fallout fan should get the 360 version because DLC is the future because of DVD9

:)

[Palodios]

@JSA
What are you talking about? Fallout 3 is most people's pick for game of the year, and Fable, while good, doesn't seem like its going to be extremely groundbreaking. So, if you can only choose between GOTY and not, what would you pick?

[sonarus]

hahaha meep you seem to be getting yourself influenced by breakfast.

Anyway, both games vary in so many ways. In the end if you can't get both you can pick the one with the higher reviews. I honestly think fallout 3 will get that honor though. Its already been described as one of the major contenders for game of the yr.

[ericnellie]

If you own a 360, get both;) If you only own a PS3 get Fallout 3. The only people who are going to talk trash about Fable 2 are 360 haters and I say "let them all eat cake"...LOL!

[meepmoopmeep]

hahahha, yeah, i heard there's a video of Big Foot eating Breakfast
so he's not around, i gotta pick up the slack.

but yeah, if you can afford both games get both,
hell, if you can afford tons of games go for it.

but if you could only pick one, this really is a tough question.

[PeeboDaKilla]

well put eric.

[Spydiggity]

Rick ONLY makes fanboy comments. only reason why he still has 5 bubbles is because he's a ps3 fanboy and not pc or 360.
i haven't read one good comment from him, and he comments almost every article i read.

aside from that. i really have to say that both games will probably be good but fallout3 is def my priority. fable 2 can wait til some of these other really good titles have been out for a while. i'm pretty sure fable 2 launches right around the same time as farcry 2 and that just makes the decision to wait even easier.

[Perjoss]

the choice is SIMPLE, can you make your character in fallout 3 fart?? NO, this discussion is over.

but seriously, I cant wait to play either of these AAA titles. Gamers are simply too spoiled for choice the last couple of autumns. no matter which console you own, even the pc is getting serious love, not sure about the wii though.

[r2kcipher]

both look great but if ur on the fence, or can only afford one.. then i suggest fallout 3 it has more value.. longer playtime, better graphix/physix, and much more customization. i cant wait to dismember radi-people in slow motion..

fallout 3 is my top priority this fall. then goes lbp, farcry 2, and resistance 2. in that order.. if i had a 360 i would be getting fable 2 also.

[witchking]

Fable 2 for me. I can't stomach another 100 hour marathon. I couldn't get through Oblivion and I can't imagine making it all the way through Fallout 3.

[r2kcipher]

it doesnt have to be that long.. i hear u can beat it in under 5 hours if u want..

[sonarus]

lol yea it also depends on your style of play. Fable 2 seems a bit silly while fallout goes for that more mature gamer type look with all the gore and all that.

[InMyOpinion]

You could play one now and save the other one for later. It's not like it's going anywhere...

[ass_divine]

I will be getting both!

I'll be playing Fable 2 first. Though that's because it's out 1 week before Fallout 3.

[You bought an Xbox]

Feeble 2

Ha Ha

[OmarJA]

Fallout 3

Oblivion > Fable 2

[demolitionX]

fallout 3!

[Pain]

No question.

its marrowind with gunz...yea...

[DarthTigra]

I will be getting both but fable 2 first.

[green]

Same here.I will get Fable 2 on day 1 but will get Fallout 3 either Christmas or in January.

[Neoninja]

I'm with you guys. I'm getting fable 2 and fallout 3 day one. Gonna be broke for a little while but those two games are gonna be worth it.

[DarthTigra]

Those two games along with LBP will keep me busy until at least march im just now getting bored with mass effect after playing it since February.

[SovereignSnaKe]

thats what i'm gonna do, I'm gonna save Fallout3 for like January when there isn't sh!t goin on and its like -10 outside! kaKow!

[SeanScythe]

Fallout 3

[iHEARTboobs]

Obama for President!

[deividpaulo]

fallout...fable 2 is ridiculous...its just anothe "windows game"

[Spydiggity]

I really wish people would only comment on things they have a shred of knowledge about.

[bunbun777]

told me that we are getting Fallout 3

[bunbun777]

I think i'll pick the game that sh!ts on my head in the first five minutes. Yea that one.

[Bazookajoe_83]

But im super excited for the third one, even thou fable was a good game i would choose fallout. My 360 is broke at the moment but ill might buy a new one for fable2 and gears2..

[LastDance]

why'd your 360 break

[Drekken]

its a pos

[Bazookajoe_83]

I can play for an hour or two, after that it just shuts down :-(

[RAF-TECH]

It would suck to be only crippled to only one game.

isnt the 360 version having exclusive DLC?

[fufotrufo]

The xbox version gets some dlc exclusivity i think

[Pebz]

Oranges > apples... if you need C-vitamin!

The way I see it, Fallout 3 will probably have the better story/immersion, while Fable 2 will have the most fun game play, with couch coop and whatnot. Both games will be awesome, but in different ways.

[pp]

Both

[OmarJA]

no idiot ur getting banjo kazooie these games are suitable for ur age

[fufotrufo]

both ..but if i had to choose...theeennN!

Fable 2..hands down

[divideby0]

dont even have to think a second about it.....FallOUT..HANDS DOWN (assuming its gonna be good of course)

[Fishy Fingers]

Gears, Resistance 2 and LBP for me.

Not a big fan of RPG's although Fallout has me intrigued but I just wont have enough time to play them all. Might pick it up later though, during a "dry" period.

[dachiefsman]

both

[Shane Kim]

Cable looks crap and so does Failout 3. Sorry.

[wazborn]

sad ps3fanboy... DIE..

[GOTY 2007]

lol It's Nasim. Just like almost every "PS3 fanboy" on this open zone. There almost are no PS3 fanboys. They're all desperate Nasim.

BTW I'm gett both, with DLC Exclusive content only on Xbox 360. Fable II only on Xbox 360.

And I'll be play Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead, Portal: Still Alive and many many more this holiday season.

; )

[TheColbertinator]

Apples and oranges.Either one is good but I'm gunning for Fable 2

[beans]

I gotta have both and if I didn't have enough time or money I would do a coin toss. Neither game is a joke so my best advice is any many miny moe.

[TheColbertinator]

Yeah,I think they are coming out the same day so it might be one of the hardest choices I'll ever make

[Adamalicious]

Right now I think I'm going to play Fable 2 first.

[demonddel]

Im buying both along with gears and banjo.

[random6789012345]

Both look great and if i had a 360 id buy both but since i have a ps3 its obvious iam goin for FO3

[Altair-HD]

im gonna get the original Fallout 3.....the Collectors Edition .... AND........................ F^CK! Survival Edition is sold out =O(
well..then the Fallout 3 Collectors Edition Official Strategy Guid. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

and Fallout 3 PC Edition ! = BROKE

[Stryfeno2]

Man, the choices. What to do, what to do?

I'll get both.

[kornbeaner]

Fable 2 would be my choice. I have honestly not been impressed with what has been shown of Fallout 3.

[militant07]

90% of who said fallout 3 way better dont own a 360

[bunbun777]

or are 90% of the fallout 3 voters fallout 1 and 2 players?

[christian hour]

Its a possibility, or they could be xbox owners who weren't impressed with fable 1, but have been intimately involved with fallout since its beginnings... although judging by the age group on n4g... and the level of maturity and fan boys. I'd say 70% of people who say fallout 3 are ps3 owners... 20% aren't impressed with fable 2... and 10% are the ones who've been waiting for fallout 3 ever since finishing fallout 2 :P

I could be wrong, its just a crazy out there estimated guess!

[christian hour]

although its going to be hard to juggle time between the two (along with all the other games coming out on the 360... and LBP on ps3) Both. Definitely getting both.

Edit:

Now that I think about it, if it came down to only having a choice between one.. I'd go with fable 2. Simply because I'm looking forward to playing it on the couch with The Missus. Drove her mad playing oblivion :P I'd probably do the same with FALLOUT 3 on her.

Same goes for LBP. A game I can play with the missus :P

[J BO]

How about not getting both of them. there are many games better than them. like wario on wii looooooooooool

[pangitkqb]

Fallout 3 on Xbox 360 (I want the down-loadable content)FOR SURE. The Elders Scrolls 4: Oblivion was awesome and Fallout 3 is gonna be even better.

Motorstorm 2 and Resistance 2 for PS3 (obviously).
And OF COURSE Gears 2.

After those four - and the $240 they will cost - Fable 2 is a maybe, along with Dead Space, Far Cry 2, Banjoe Kazooie, COD 5, Left 4 dead, and Little Big Planet. I have a Wii, but I aint buying JACK for it this season. Way to freakin' BLOW it Nintendo. They don't have squat for a mature gamer like me this holiday season. What a disappointment.

So many games, so little money and time, but Fallout, Resistance, Gears, and Motorstorm without question.

Happy Gaming!

[ongbakurhead]

Fallout 3 all the way!

[TheZippo]

Fable 2 first! Fallout eventually but I will be pretty occupied with Fable and Gears to worry about Fallout.

[Rayko]

is this a joke? Ofcourse Fable 2 is the game to pick. Fallout 3 looks boring.

[gersh]

You're being sarcastic right?

[tein]

Fallout 3 all the way, fable1+15hours=joke, fable 2 gona be probably a joke too.

[Rhezin]

I'm definately gettin. I hate fallout 3's turn based combat and lackluster graphics.

[KenBE]

I am getting the only RPG on the list, Fallout 3. I have a 360 and I own an original xbox too. But the first Fable failed to impress. It's just an action game with RPG elements. It's scale and complexity (or lack of) can't be compared to other games of the genre. Fallout 3 is a hybrid, but atleast it incorperates tons of elements that makes a RPG what it is. I am getting it, together with Valkyria Chronicles. An easy choice, because I want to play a RPG. But if you prefer Fable, fair enough. But for me it's just another action game, with some RPG elements.

[Killer B]

I've got them both on pre-order, so I'll start w/ whatever comes out first... Then the next week, I'll at least watch the intro on the seond and go from there! I see lots of sleepless nights coming up in October...

[Xi]

fallout I will have on PC, but fable 2 just looks more appealing. Fallout was never meant to be an shooting game, and I think that completely ruins the game. They should've kept fallout, fallout.

[RadientFlux]

Both and add-in "Sacred 2" and "The Last Remnant" and I will be in RPG heaven this winter

[leftbehindxp]

Fallout 3!

[MK_Red]

I'm getting both. M rated western RPGs FTW!

[DA_SHREDDER]

Fallout is not turn based. You can play it all the way without using the stupid VATS system. Anyways, for me its Fable 2 all the way. I wouldn't waste my time on that Fallout bootleg of a fps. That game is wack!

[random6789012345]

No way man cant wait for FO3 i think it will be awesome cant wait for it also Far Cry two and Kill Zone 2 and R2

[PureGamer]

Both on day one.

[KiddyBrownTurd]

both!!!

pooooooooooooor droids :(

[u got owned]

Both.

So many games and so little time... I dont know how i'm gonna do it.

[Allowen]

Since I dont have an xbox360 I will wait for Fale 2 when it finally gets launched to PC.

About Fallout3 I will buy the collector´s edition without needing to think much about it.

I don´t buy a collector´s edition game since Everquest 2 but this Fallout 3 will be worth and I am expecting it to be the best game I will play this year,beating games such MGS4, LBP and GTA4.

[ikiru3385]

BOTH! plus resistance 2, LBP, prince of persia, farcry 2, gears 2.....

[Covenant]

That's easy...BOTH!

[QQcrybaby]

Right?

Fallout will decimate Fable.

[Baka-akaB]

I'll play Persona 4 and valkyria chronicles instead ..

[gersh]

Fallout 3 durka.

[smturner68]

Man, I don't know, I SERIOUSLY think that fallout 3 seems a bit on the heavy side, while Fable 2 just seems more whimsical and FUN. I've never played any other fallout game though, so I can't really say. I just think Fable 2 will be awesome. Fable 1 was pretty cool and unique. The graphical styles are so dissimilar. I prefer the old cottage look of Fable 2. Oh, and you can be gay in Fable 2. Ya gotta love that. True freedom. (even if you don't choose that yourself)

[nathan134679]

yes well having played both games at gaming events i can tell you fable 2 is the option to go for fable 2 was amazing with unbelievably good graphics and the combat was so intense but with fallout 3 most things were done for you already it was frankly boring however the graphics were not as good as fable 2 but i think if you meassured the graphics then fable 2 would be i'd say 50 (this is for the games we've already seen) and fallout 3 a 38 so it just depends if your a light gamer : fallout 3
if you want a game you'll really remember
hard core : fable 2

[sirboppel]

fable 2 for even though i rule at fps but fable 2 just that damn good now on xbox fable>morrowind and now fable 2>oblivion and i got 50/50 achievements for oblivion so i know the game FABLE 2 WILL OWN!
