I am thinking about getting RA3 or Fallout 3 when it launch and I am wondering which get should I get. I generally like RTSA but Fallout 3 look interesting as well. I got a 8800gt so I can probably run both game fine. If you are going to choose one game, which is it going to be?

Going with fallout 3 myself, but I'll probably end up getting them both eventually.

Fallout 3. My reasoning is because its something like oblivion and its made by the same guys and although i wasent over the moon about oblivion it was a fun ride, shame about the psychic guards and no way to bribe them or "lose the wanted level" but i guess its not GTA. However RA3 is going to be something like cnc3 which was a load of bollocks compared with the rest of the cnc series (generals excluded as its not a proper cnc game) so i imagine RA3 online being dead in 3 months and EA support dropped within 6 months. Maybe when they announce cnc4 they will release an expansion to RA3 which EA will outsource to some apes or something for development, then they will sell us a beta key for cnc4 with the outsourced expansion :roll:

Fallout 3 all the way.

RA3 by the sounds, it seems Bethesda may have gone the way of "omg wtf pwnz $$$" over a challenging, interesting and exciting experience.

Actually Fallout 3 being Fallout is somewhat inaccurate based on some reviews i've seen...

Fallout 3. Some would definitely differ with my opinion but I like what I have seen so far. I am a big C&C fan but the DRM scheme will keep me away.

Fallout 3. I'll still be buying RA3 a bit later however. I thought CNC3 was awesome and I hope RA3 will also be fun.

Wtf? Fallout 3 man! I'm just playing Fallout 1 again, for the first time in years. It stiill kicks ass. What other game allows you to do a targeted shot to the scrotum, or a sniper rifle shot in the eyes?

Why having to chose when you can get both? If money isn't a problem of course, and if that's the case and if you like RTS and FPS/RPG-hybrid games then why not getting bot and be done with the cruel thing that is a dilemma. I say get both if you can and happen to like both genres and you're just curious overall. I myself will buy both, even with the DRM on RA3, simply because I feel that out of the massively poorly developed games that EA even managed to release so far only their C&C games are decent (the only other game I really like from them is BF1942).

Fallout 3 if you have to choose for some reason. You'll get 10x more entertainment value out of that until Dawn of War 2 and Starcraft 2 come out ;)

You mean one experience automatically disqualifies the other?
