I know the obvious answer is BOTH. So many good games, so little time and money! I have Fable 2 and Castlevania:OoE on hold (Oct 21) but Fallout 3 is looking more and more attractive to me and comes out on the 28th. What are YOU choosing and why?

Well I am getting both. But those who are strapped for chash might want to go with Fallout 3. I just think breezing through Fable within 12 hours isn't long enough.

Still can't choose. Lionhead never seemed to deliever on the experience they promise. Fallout seems like ME, shooter based RPG

I have sacrificed other games so that I could get both. They are both pre-ordered and paid for, just waiting on that phone call to say "COME AND GET IT".... which will probably be 2-3 days after release knowing the stores here!!!

I am definitely going with both even if I have to use the credit card and increase the debt I owe the world! LOL The problem is that Far Cry 2, and Gears 2 is also ocming out very soon as well... so basically I'm screwed! hahah at 59.99 a pop if you didn't get the "SPECIAL Colectors edition" (which i always do) then you spending even more...WOW...what a year.

I'll be getting both. I already have Fable 2 paid off at Gamestop and I'll just get Fallout 3 at Best Buy the day it comes out. Only problem I see is that my schedule this semester starts going crazy on the 20th ironically....oh well :P.

Both :]

I'm going to get Fable 2 when it comes out because I've been looking forawrd to it since forever.
Then Fable can keep me busy until I get Fallout 3 on my birthday on November 5th.

I missed out on the whole Fallout thing, I only found out about it about a week ago, but I'm getting more and more excited :]

I'm getting Fallout 3 because it will be awesome. I'm not getting Fable 2 because it doesn't appeal to me. I don't think I'd like it. I didn't like the first Fable. The gameplay videos of Fable 2 make me feel sick. It looks so stupid and crap.

Not sure yet, probably end up getting both but only after renting each to see which one I like. I'm hesitant about Fable 2 for the same reason many others here are, Molyneux has a habit of making promises he can't keep. Fallout 3 on the other hand has me more exited. I'm anxious to see how the transition from top down turn based stategy to a first person perspective ends up. Right now I need to save every penny so I won't buy either game unless I'm completely blown away by it. Im tired of spending my money on games to play for a week then get bored and move onto something else.

well thats a tough choice but it looks like you would be able to do more with fallout3 graphics gamplay plenty of diffrent ending and alot of ways to go,but also have more of a online experiance with a friend with co-op on fable2 (imagine joining your friend world and kill his whole family then he has to start a new family if you want to be evil):twisted: i really liked fable 1 never played any of the fallouts, so i guess it a close your eyes and pick one type of choice

Fallout 3 and thats because Im tight on cash. But the game take place in different settings that most RPG and that gameplay looks and feels different than traditional takes. So Im putting money on the new experience.

Fable 2 sounds cool also. mainly because of the co-op element and how you can walk into someone else's world at any time. Still, I'll probably wait to get a used copy for this game.

I'm sure Fable II is going to be a great game, but Fallout seems to be more adult-oriented, and I like that.

Of course, if I had the money for both on top of the other games I want, I'd get them.. But as it stands, Fallout seems like a more attractive choice.

I will definatley try to get both. However, if I only got to choose one, I would choose Fable 2 because I loved the first Fable and have been waiting forever for the 2nd to come out.

Both for me, I want force myself to buy either one of the other one, if I did it would be Fallout 3 since thats the game I want to play the most out of all the games comming out in general.

Oh yeah I know that... the stores are awesome at calling you the instance they get the game.... it's just that they dont actually GET the game until a couple days after release... sucks to be me lol

This has been a question on my mind, too. I would get both, but I want to focus my attention on ONE of those games. I'm leaning towards Fallout 3.

Wow people need to stop bashing Lionhead studios they didn't deliver on a few things in Fable and it was still an awesome game, I can understand why your cautious but don't completely dismiss them just because they left out a few things in the first game dosen't mean they will in Fable 2.

I g2 admit that Fable 2 has huge potential. Lionhead avoided its would have been huge mistake of not including co-op during launch. Now since you can jump online when you first get the game, Im thinking it'll be awesome that you get to share the experience from the getgo.

I know that I'll probably invest 50 hours into fallout 3, do everything in the single player and stick it in my collection afterwards. With Fable 2, I feel like I'll be able to come back to it just because of the online portions.

Both on day one: Fable 2 LE, and Fallout 3 CE (PC).

Why? Both will be awesome games, that's why.

Best strategy to avoid the decision of getting one or the other. Getting one on release date and by the time your done with the campaign you can get the other used on ebay.
