    Nobody places 3 above NV.

    You'd be surprised. There's a pretty large and growing backlash to the idea that NV is better than 3. Most of the backlash is just "3 isnt as bad as people say" rather than it being better than NV, but the strongest and loudest backlashers think 3 is outright better.

      This is /r/prequelmemes contrarianism and it must be crushed. I will be damned if people think Oblivion with Guns is better than NV

      I haven’t encountered those. I’m willing to have an open mind if they actually have argument, but I fail to see how there is one. Three dog was a better DJ I guess, buts not a large hinge point

        Many a True Nerd made a video that is decently well respected in defense of FO3. (He's not a chud, pretty decent guy it seems). My Fallout friend who loves NV and hates 3 even respects the video. (He's also gained some social credit with places like GCJ because of another youtuber who obsessively made massively long video essays nitpicking every point in his video which are very offputting lol).

          Thanks for the rec. I liked 3 as a kid, new Vegas is just something else. Personally, I think almost all of the hate is from people who played 1-2 first and knew what was lost.

          Oh fuck it’s 2 hours. I’ll listen to it at work later lol.

          MATN is one of those guys who's really into like roman history and stuff and somehow isn't a chud. Really rare breed

      Hot take: 3 is fun enough if you just dick around. NV has the vastly superior main quest. 3 has some good side quests but the main quest is a fucking snooze fest.

      I am in the camp that 3 is not that bad. New Vegas is clearly better, but I started with 3 and definitely had fun.
