Current Events > It's an undeniable fact New Vegas is a glorified expansion pack

(+) Yeah! (+)

Can't believe they asked 60 bucks for that, disgusting business practice.

No wonder their developers are in the gutter, begging.

71% of CE prefers the superior game, NV. Which btw has far more content than 3. It's like 3 was a pre-expansion pack to NV.

3 >>>> NV, but calling NV an expansion pack is just lol

i have no idea what you're talking about, i am merely speaking the undeniably objective truth.

How can a game that predates another, be the expansion pack?

You're right, i wish every day, i could shut off my brain, accept America can easily be bested by some random tribal from some island no one has ever heard off, outfitting some NUTTY spears and skirts and running towards the 50. cal snipers yelling 'TRUE TO CAESARARA'. .

What makes you consider it an expansion pack?

Well if Dragon Age Awakening and Ballad of Gay Tony are expansion packs. Then how can i not consider NV an expansion pack? NV took everything from F3 and added...the same thing. With a couple of new trinkets, like invisible barriers, the flawless reputation system, the beloved traits and hardcore mode and removed a couple of things like random encounters, good writing, characters and non-moronic factions.

And the two aforementioned expansions packs were lit.

Honestly after NV, 3 felt more like a glorified beta people were tricked into paying money for.

beta people

Found the alpha people, this man is alpha personified. Clearly. He must be non-beta-ing it up in NV as we speak.
---

Huh. If that's the case, then that's pretty embarrassing for Fallout 3 to be destroyed by an expansion pack which has more content and better gameplay.
---

If all expansion packs were as good as New Vegas I'd be a very happy gamer.

By destroyed you mean.

Oh, My, God. How can Fallout 3 compete against "BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK". Might as well pack it up.

better gameplay

But ill agree to this, NV is objectively a far better pew pew game than Fallout 3 could ever dream to be. If only Beth pew pewd harder, they could attract the pew pew fanbase Obsidian attracts.

It's good that you've begun to recognize your complete and total inferiority.

You may now bask in my awesome majesty. Whiskey and tacos are acceptable offerings.

I don't really care what the critics think. I played both Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas to completion, and I had a lot more fun with Fallout New Vegas. If the critics disagree then they are free to do so, it just means I value their opinion less when look for games to enjoy.

I mean both Xbox and PS3 USERS stated Fallout 3 is objectively and unanimously superior to NV in every perceivable way. So uh...

Look I am not trying to shit on your fun, you can have fun however you want to. I had fun watching Jay and Silent bob and thought that was funniest and best movie in all of creation. Then i grew up. Point is. Have fun, but the facts are facts and that is Fallout NV faceplanted in front of F3 and because of that game, Obsidian is currently begging in crowdfunding sites.

A company that was established in 2003, is looking for handouts in 2018. Just facts, no opinion there at all.

Reminder.

TC thinks the megaton choice was a good example of giving choice.

Should it have taken instead? Doesn't it do that too?

If that's what it takes for them to make great games then it's fine by me. I've actually enojoyed Obsidians last few games, which is more then I can say for Bethesada.

So is New Vegas the only expansion that's both bigger and better than the main game?

Hey no hate here, you go and enjoy what's good for you. After all enjoyment is the most important feature in a game, who cares about writing, quality and all that crap? Enjoyment and fun is what its all about.

Video games are a form of entertainment, well I supposed they can be art as well. As entertainment the goal is to be fun. So yes being fun is the most important part. Unless you are trying to be art, but I don't think any of Bethesda's recent games are good art either.

I respect that, if games are about fun and entertainment, I can see why you'd favour NV over Beth games, I mean have you seen the pew pew variety and animations in NV? They are unhinged.

The writing in NV is far better than the writing in FO3, bud.

With that logic, then Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories must all be expansion packs to GTA3.

Nope. You only need both for the Tale of Two Wastelands mod.

They were initially released as GTA IV DLC to be fair.

So NV isn't really an expansion pack at all. It's a like a side spin off game.

Fallout 2 was just an expansion to Fallout 1

But it did get its separate release from GTAIV, why is why I'm stating NV is similar to it.

To be fair, we have had standalone expansion packs in the past.

Yes, I remember magic and bows in Fallout 3 quite fondly. Oh and lets not forget the fat-man in the hidden chest of the cyrodill prison.

Ballad of Gay Tony isn't available on it's own. It's available as DLC for "Grand Theft Auto IV" or as part of "Episodes from Liberty City", but it's not available as a seperate release.
