Assassin's Creed? or Fallout 3? I only have room for one.

Asked by patg7590 (4608points) October 3rd, 2009

Which game should I install on my bootcamp partition of my MBP? I only have room for one.

I would really like to be able to use my xbox 360 contoller

All valid arguments will be considered.

I already own both of them. I’ve played about ¾ the way through Assassins Creed. Never played Fallout

Assassin’s Creed only takes a few hours to beat, and you’ve played most of it already. Fallout will give you hundreds of hours of gameplay, and it will all be fresh.

I agree 1000% with @Ivan on this one.

Fallout 3. Hands down.

Fallout 3. It’s high in replay value.

I haven’t played either of them, but Fallout 3.

You could try resizing the bootcamp partition and install both.

*I would make sure you have a back-up of everything before messing with your partitions.

@johnpowell yeah that can’t happen. I have “immovable blocks” and currently no hard drive space big enough to back up both systems.

Another vote for Fallout 3

AC is just the same thing over and over and over

The thing about Assassins creed is that its repetitive. Kinda the same thing over and over again. Great concept and Assassins Creed II with definitely be fantastic but Fallout three is just so much long and more fun. You will never tire of the rag doll physics and shotting people heads off is just very satisfying. Also there’s the mini nuke launcher. And the expansions are exceptionally great.

@Bugabear Operation: Anchorage was great. I have Brothers of steel and The Pitt downloaded, but haven’t gotten around to trying them since I have Fallout 3 for my Xbox. I just bought a PS3, so I’ve been preoccupied, lol.

Again, Fallout 3.

Though, I can’t wait for Assassin’s Creed 2.

@Axemusica My frined played the one with the alien spaceship and it was amazing.

anyone have any tips for just starting out? I am kinda overwhelmed by the amount of choices and am scared to death of making a terminal mistake.

andrew's avatar

@patg7590 Don’t worry. You can change things right after the beginning of the game, and there’s enough play in it that you can figure out what you like to do and work towards that.

One thing you might want to ask yourself early is what kind of player to you like to be?

I’ve played Oblivion and not Fallout, but it’s the same concept. It is kind of daunting at first, I was always afraid I’d make the wrong decisions and end up hating my character. Well, I did end up hating my first character. Use your first playthrough to figure out what you like to do, how you like to play, etc. For instance, I made my first character a typical bruiser, but I found out that I much preferred being a sneaky assassin. So I made a new character with those qualities in mind, and I had a great time with it.

Fallout 3. Be evil, its more fun and profitable.

Sarcasm's avatar

I hear you can throw grenades in peoples’ inventories, they’ll die and you won’t lose too many karma points.

sandystrachan's avatar

Well i just bought Fallout3 , haven’t played it much but its nae bad

Axemusica's avatar

@Sarcasm yep. Sneak up behind someone as though you were going to pickpocket them & put a grenade in instead, lol.

On my previous statement, if you get fustrated while playing games you will not like Demon’s Souls. It just came out yesterday & it’s the most brutal, hardcore, most difficult game I’ve ever played. I think it very well maybe the hardest of all time.

—although, looking at the thread on my iPhone I notice that this might not have been the thread I mentioned that, lol.—

Get a ps3 and buy MAG next year when its out , the game looks amazing and will bring hours , days , weeks , years of fun to the player .
