GotG Round 1: Fallout 3 vs. Just Cause 2

I voted for fallout 3 (but it should have been NV) however I really enjoyed playing Just Cause 2.

this has probably been the hardest vote yet.

Just Cause 2 was fun in extreme amounts and New Vegas was better Fallout game. So right answer is: Just Cause 2.

I have to go with Fallout 3 on this one. I had some fun with Just Cause 2 but if someone said you can only play one I would take Fallout 3.

You know what game is a lot of fun? Just Cause 2.

I would say these are my two favourite games of the generation.

Tough vote but I'm hoping whichever game wins this poll wins the whole thing.

IMO this should not even be close. Fallout 3 is a masterpiece.

They're both great games. Just Cause 2 still has such a huge scale and so much to do even compared to games three years on, and there are few to no other games that let you go on crazy destruction sprees the way it does. I have to pick Fallout 3 as the better game though. It was full of technical flaws, was visually sometimes a bit of a letdown, and was not that amazing as a shooter, but the world was so interesting it managed to make up for all that. It gave a very real sense of wandering through this vast wasteland, periodically running into these intriguing little pockets of civilisation, and it took you on a real journey.

I will never understand the New Vegas apologists, by the gods that game was boring. It felt like 1/20 the size of 3 and just completely empty. It also didn't have Liberty Prime... there shouldn't need to be any further discussion.

Just Cause 2 was extremely fun, one of the best pick up and play open world games. It's right up there with saint row for just being able to jump in and do some crazy shit. But it also wasn't extremely varied, and got stale rather quickly.

Fallout 3 was an absolutely masterpiece as far as open worlds go. Hell, I would take a game of just the fallout 3 sewers/national mall over both New Vegas AND Just Cause 2.

Despite loving me some Oblivion and Skyrim, I could never get into Fallout 3. I found the way encumbrance and the shops worked in that game frustrating and the whole world was so bleak that it defied my repeated attempts to love it like I still kind of feel I should have.

So I guess what I'm saying is Just Cause 2.

I'm rocking Just Cause 2. Arguably the BIGGEST and one of the most gorgeous sandbox's of this generation, coupled with some of the best third-person chaos I've ever experienced.

Good to see people fighting the Just Cause corner, great game that deserves its props. I have to go fallout 3 tho based on the fact that if you roll a black character your father is black in the game.

Detail motherfuckers.

Now we're starting to hit polls between games I both personally adore. Just Cause 2 was a blast with a ton of magical moments but Fallout 3 was an astounding world top to bottom. My heart says Fallout 3 but man both are great games. Still though, if I must be honest, the writing in Fallout is its own element I don't think JC2 can touch.

Legitimate matchup here, but as much fun as I had with JC2, I was never good enough with the grappling hook to do the real crazy stuff that I think make it some people's choice.

Voted for Fallout 3, it might be my game of the Generation.

Fallout 3 drops a megaton and wins with 75% of the vote and 713 votes cast.
