What are the differences between Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3?

Gameplay differences (less bugs, more guns etc) and which one has a better story, more things to do? im looking for a long game that will keep me busy for a while. Is fallout new vegas over 100 hours like fallout 3?What are the differences between Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3?
Fallout 3 and NV are for the most part the same game. You have a weaker story in general in NV and the main quest fractures to a point where once you make one specific decision there are 3 different ways to get to the end (and you really can't change your mind or play all three unless you decide to restart the game). The only real advantage to NV is the hardcore mode where you need to eat sleep and keep hydrated or you will die as well as a little better companion interaction aspect. You can easily put hundreds of hours into NV if you did it with 3.
A heck of differences - to check out the review on both games, look here - http://indigital.hubpages.com/hub/Fallout-3-vs-Fallout-New-Vegas-Which-Game-Is-Better

What are the differences between Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3?
New Vegas is much less immersive, you don't get that desolate wasteland feel, although the hardcore mode is a good improvement. There are also a lot more weapons in new vegas but most of them aren't fun to use(the down the sights thing is better). The voice acting is about the same, impressive, the soundtrack is lacking though.

The overall story while better in some ways, it's certainly worse in others.

You get the feeling as if there aren't any right decisions, everything has good AND bad repercussions, which is better than the whole Good, Bad, Neutral thing, but it lacks depth, F3 was had so much personal growth, you play the character through their entire life, while in NV you just wake up after being knocked out and somehow your whole previous life disappears(except for a few subtle parts that annoyed me like at one part you find out someone didn't take a job cause you did but they never explain how he knew you).You can make it last 100 hours and still have fun, but it doesn't seem to strike the same nerve as the first one.
Ok if you don't have the DLC for fallout 3, then there are so many more glitches in fallout New Vegas, but if you are going to get the game of the year edition of fallout 3 then that will give you the same amount of glitches. As for story Fallout 3 has a better story for the main story, but Fallout New Vegas has a better DLC story and has a nice scare factor, (DLC I am talking about for Fallout New Vegas is called Dead Money). and they both seem to have a same amount of play time. The guns in New Vegas are new, you can now take damage in V.A.T.S and there is a Hardcore mode now.What are the differences between Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3?
I play both on ps3 and have the platinum trophies for both games. Fallout 3 has a better story line in my opinion and the dlc's for it are much better than dead money. fallout 3 has more of a barren wasteland feel to it and if you buy broken steel you can continue playing for weeks, new vegas on the other hand has a weeker main story line but you can choose what faction you work for and decide the fate of new vegas, where as on fallout 3 you are limmited to only working for the one faction, also fallout new vegas has loads of glitches and you cant have a decent session without it freezing. Overall i would suggest buying fallout 3 :)
I am still playing fallout 3 but I read that Fallout New Vegas is developed by people from the original Fallout series so it is more authentic in spirit and have a much broader gameplay. Good thing is that it is still based on the Fallout 3 engine so we won't need a better computer to play. I am definitely going to try that after this.
Fallout new vegas is amazing!! its my favorite game ever and is probably the best game of all time and im not exaggerating. the exploring is basically endless! lots of unique, rare, and different types of weapons.. and not to mention the armor. there tons of different paths to take, factions to join by doing quests, and the ones you cant join have quests too! and to me the story line in new vegas is alot better than fallout 3.

BUY THE GAME

:D :D
YES!!! I am a girl and I love fallout new Vegas and it is very fun! Their r new guns and new characters too. And plus it is interesting, fun and your in Las Vegas!!!! What could be better!! Also the first one is good too but my opinion is that I like the second one better right now. Hope this helps!
Fallout new vegas is better, But there are diffrent storys.

Pick up fallout 3 for 拢5 aswell.
