I think New Vegas was better then FO 4.

New Vegas by a country mile.

New Vegas, but I love how Fallout 4 treats power armor.

New Vegas. 4 bored me to tears. Couldn't even be bothered to complete it.

This is one of the few things that FO4 does best out of the series. If they had just brought over a Hellfire suit from 3, I'd have never taken it off.

fallout 4 is garbage

New Vegas without a doubt. The writing was more compelling, story was nicely paced, the factions were more interesting. More side content. DLC was better developed. Companions were more interesting.

FO4 just took a step back on every single count, and they ruined stealth to boot.

literally 23 to 1

wow

New Vegas, New Vegas, New fucking Vegas.

I cannot feel stronger about this. New Vegas is as good as Fallout 4 is bad.

This poll pleases me.

I like 4, but New Vegas is an actual Fallout game while 4 is Far Cry After The End

Whenever New Vegas gets ported by modders to the F4 engine, that will be a great day. Or when Obsidian develops another western Fallout game but in the F4 engine.

It will be a bad day because it will ruin the combat and stealth of New Vegas :\

New Vegas vs Dogshit 4?

Yea give me NV
---

I really enjoyed fallout 4...... but New Vegas was amazing
---

New Vegas is easily the best modern FO game. FO4, while still playable and somewhat enjoyable, just feels like a dumbed-down experience in many ways, and that's without dealing with the weak story and dialogue. Some quests (like "The Silver Shroud") are fantastic, though, so it's not a complete loss. Having a new FO game modelled after NV's high points would be very welcome.

Fallout 4 was unplayable
---

Only good things about Fallout 4 was the power armor system (I think they should have made it harder to find the cores for it)

and the gunplay is considerably better in F4.


If they made a New Vegas remaster in F4 I'd die happy

I know one modder is planning to do it

Fallout 4 for the first three hours


Then the shiny wears off

So New Vegas
---

Fallout 4 has it's strong points, but it just doesn't compare to New Vegas.

I kind of feel like you deserved to be disappointed if you actually expected 4 to be better than NV. NV was one of those once-in-a-generation gems, and Bethesda simply does not have the in-house talent to match it in the fields of writing, characterization, and interwoven / multi-path questlines. Beth did try their best, god bless 'em: the companions are modeled much more closely on NV's than FO3's, and the structure of FO4's main quest is lifted directly from NV, right down to the Yes Man > Minutemen 'we'll be here in case you fuck everything else up' afterthought of a faction option. And in this regard, structurally it blows FO3 out of the water at the very least - for all of FO4's main quest shortcomings, it beats the hell out of shoehorning me into being the Brotherhood of Bland's errand boy with the occasional opportunity to be a dick for no little to no reason.

Which is why I wasn't very let down with FO4, because it gave me what I wanted, but no more than I expected: an overall improvement over Fallout 3 (which is far from high praise in and of itself, but still...). It gave me settlement-building, something I've been craving in a Beth-formula game for a decade; it did a couple things best in the series (power armor, overworld density); it made several improvements over Fallout 3 (far better combat, better and more in-depth companions, better DLC, more logical worldbuilding, making the main quest plot intrinsic to the world), and took a few steps back (stats, skill checks in dialogue). So overall it was at the very least an improvement to the formula, which is far more preferable than an overall step back.

Just started 4. Can not say. I can say 3>NV

I really find NV to be the weakest of the ones I've played to be honest. I just don't like the setting as much in NV and that's my main draw to fallout. But I know my opinion is the minority.
