HMDK: I think it's because some of the same people worked on Vegas who worked on 1 & 2.
JohnWalrus: I can see why fans of the originals didn't like Fallout 3, and having not played much of the originals other than a few hours of 1, I maybe don't have the chops to critique either, but all I can say is that, regardless of the rest of the series, Fallout 3 was one of the best virtual experiences that I have ever had. Made me buy an Xbox 360, piqued my interest in the rest of the series, thus sending me to GOG, and overall sparked a curiosity for older RPGs, something that a lot of recent reboots of old games couldn't muster up nowadays! I should really go back and finish the first one...
Oh, and what's so hard about configuring GK 3? I haven't played it, so what's all the hubub, bub?
Oh, Fallout 3 is pretty great. It's just that before patching the ending not only sucked, it didn't even make fuckin' sense. Hell, it didn't even make nonsense. As for GK3, I don't have a clue why it's so hard to get to work.
teshra: I have no horse in this race as I've only played FO 1 till now. Soon to be FO 2 (thanks again). All I know is people are mighty passionate between FO 3 and NV and which one is their favorite and why the other sucks. I'll try them out one day and decide for myself at that point but I'm guessing I will like both. FO Tactics too even though its a different kind of game from what I've read.
I was silly wasting my time with MMO's back in the day when a lot of these games were popular. So to that end, glad I found GOG and Steam so I can discover them on my own time.
I'm one of those weird people who like all the Fallout games, including Tactics. Well, I think there was, like, a Playstation shooter I never played.
