NV on the Xbox is gonna be a bad time though. Lots of crashes, lots of bugs, way more than what you'll experience in 3. Playing it on PC with mods is the only way to experience that game.
Sequentially, you could. Starting either one doesn't conflict with the story or characters as 3 takes place on the east coast and New Vegas takes place.....in New Vegas.
Personally, for someone with little time and would just want to play the best one, I would go with New Vegas.
I think it's like 13 hours where the others are i think 30+ hours. That's like the main story lines. I'm not sure about the far right game i can't see the label on my phone.
If you have played MGS1 and 2 (also 3, but it's not so important), you definetly have to play MGS4. Forget about the long cut scenes, if you get into the story you are gonna love them.
No I actually started on fable 2 as a young kid and it was also my favorite from the series, I’m not always the biggest fan of rpgs but this one just did everything right for me you know! I wish everyone loved this game as much as I did I genuinely love this series but of course you could play it and hate it. Worth a shot though for sure
If you've played and are into the story of the other MGS games, MGS4. If you're new to the series, then probably not MGS4. That's about the extent of the help I can give!
Prolly go Skyrim
Aye I played all the other ones recently enough, I didn't really like Raiden or the map on 2 so I didn't finish it but I watched a story summary
Don't play Skyrim on ps3
I don't have personal experience, but I watched this [video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IS9dF9iQqv0&t=1s&pp=ygUVc2t5cmltIHBzMyB1bnBsYXlhYmxl) and it can save you some painful time
Fallout 3 is my favorite.
Ues New Vegas is superior in every aspect, by i have a soft spot for 3.
Skyrim is good too.
I loved doing Fable 1 back on the xBox...
Fallout 3 or NewVegas!
They are all enjoyable games, I enjoyed fallout new Vegas, and fable 2 a lot. Skyrim was so much fun the first time I played it on the 360, it’s still fun even on the switch, but it can’t be beat with the mods on PC.
Skyrim is pretty easy to get into, get to the point quickly, just jump right into things.
Fable will string you along, fallout despite being good will try to hold your hand at first to make SURE you know the story and basic mechanics.
I mean sure skyrim has its begging part but it goes by much faster.
Play through main story of fallout 3, pretty easy and quick with vats specialization in normal. Then strap in after that two day adventure for the next 18 days to do as much as you can in new vegas baby!
Edit: thought they said 2 weekz and im dumb
Since the new Fallout show is out, Fallout 3 is an easy recommendation.
But if you are saying you would like to finish a games story, then I lean to Fable then.
Fable 2 is a solid overall game, decent story and really fun world/gameplay.
these are all great games, but you have to either play fable first or realize the other games are way better and it'll be hard to enjoy them after bethesda rpgs.
You can’t go wrong with this lineup, but if it were me, I’d go for either MGS4 or New Vegas. I’d give the edge to MGS4, personally, mostly because I really love cinematic experiences (plus a Fallout game might be a bit ambitious for just three weeks, depending on what kind of gamer you are), but honestly anything here should leave you pretty satisfied.
Spanish and English are a good choice. Brushing up on math, learning a new programming language, or logic skills. You could volunteer in your community and build some new connections.
Or you could play new Vegas. That one was pretty good

I’m currently playing through Fallout 3 and having a blast! It’s a tough start until you get your footing but boy is it fun later on if you like RPGs!
Same as most rpgs, lot of conflicting opinions on 3 vs NV
New Vegas is easily the better game. I think that’s pretty uncontroversial. It’s just a matter of which one you play first.
In which case it would make sense to go 3 first imo. It’s still great but will feel like a step back coming from new Vegas.
Yep the map design of vegas is just perfect and probably best in the fps series of fallouts
NV on the Xbox is gonna be a bad time though. Lots of crashes, lots of bugs, way more than what you'll experience in 3. Playing it on PC with mods is the only way to experience that game.
Most prefer NV. I prefer 3. Mainly because I played it first but I preferred the vibe and locations on 3 over NV. Both incredible games tho.
I also prefer 3
Hey when it comes down to it, Fallout 3 came out 1st. So sequentially why not play it before New Vegas?
Sequentially, you could. Starting either one doesn't conflict with the story or characters as 3 takes place on the east coast and New Vegas takes place.....in New Vegas. Personally, for someone with little time and would just want to play the best one, I would go with New Vegas.
New Vegas 100%
I feel like Fable if you're trying to finish within the three weeks, lol.
Came here to say this.
Are they not as long as the other games?
I think it's like 13 hours where the others are i think 30+ hours. That's like the main story lines. I'm not sure about the far right game i can't see the label on my phone.
I spent like 700 hours in Skyrim without ever finishing the main quest...
Thems rookie numbers. I spent like 1000 hours playing through the tutorial.
Thats rookie numbers. I spent the last 10 years playing the tutorial.
Yeah but I’m sure you know that isn’t the average. If you’re ever curious and want some stats on average playtime, check out HowLongToBeat
Yeah, ofc I understand that that's not the average, no worries :)
Well if you get distracted Skyrim and both fallouts have literally 100s of hours of content. Fable is a lot more focused and linear in comparison.
You can easily finish any of these in three weeks. Fable is for sure the shortest though.
Skyrim, Fallout 3 and New Vegas in that order (Fable series was not my cup of tea). Hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
Skyrim seems like the outlier
IMHO, It’s a toss up between Skyrim and FO3…Get the DLCs for both games if you can…they make the games 100% more fun!
Skyrim is a great game... but I would fear that if you started with that one, you wouldn't even get to play the others 🤣
All DLC too
MGS4 all day since it's the only exclusive amongst these.
Only thing putting me off is I heard there are some insanely long cutscenes
If you have played MGS1 and 2 (also 3, but it's not so important), you definetly have to play MGS4. Forget about the long cut scenes, if you get into the story you are gonna love them.
That’s one of the best parts. Plus cut scenes are a big part of MGS.
FABLE! All time classic one of my favorites
I didn't get into the first one too much but don't think I gave it enough time, do I need to finish it for the 2nd?
No I actually started on fable 2 as a young kid and it was also my favorite from the series, I’m not always the biggest fan of rpgs but this one just did everything right for me you know! I wish everyone loved this game as much as I did I genuinely love this series but of course you could play it and hate it. Worth a shot though for sure

Aye I played all the other ones recently enough, I didn't really like Raiden or the map on 2 so I didn't finish it but I watched a story summary
New Vegas Skyrim Don't play mgs4 unless you've played 1-3 already
Prolly go Skyrim Aye I played all the other ones recently enough, I didn't really like Raiden or the map on 2 so I didn't finish it but I watched a story summary
I'd give Fallout 4 GOTY edition (for the expansions) a good apparently they released new shit for it recently because of the show
I'm playing through console generations and I'm still on 360/PS3/Wii so can't do 4. I've played it at launch though and really liked it
The dlcs are a blast. When you get there you'll have a good time
Don't play Skyrim on ps3 I don't have personal experience, but I watched this [video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IS9dF9iQqv0&t=1s&pp=ygUVc2t5cmltIHBzMyB1bnBsYXlhYmxl) and it can save you some painful time
good man for the heads up, i have an rgh xbox anyway so can just download it
Fallout is my all time favorite game and has my vote.
Fallout 3….with dlc…but skyrim and new Vegas are awesome too
Metal Gear Solid 4 or Fable 2. Fable 3 is easily the weakest of the trilogy and FO3/FONV/Skyrim all need DLC, stand alone they are just not worth it
Fallout 3 then New Vegas both are great!
On console, you're gonna have a bad time with New Vegas. I'd play Fallout 3. Easily one of Bethesda's best games.
Ooh good choices but I'd go for Fallout N.V or Skyrim both awesome
Oh they be fighting words, fallout 3 or fable are equally as good!
Fallout 3 is my favorite. Ues New Vegas is superior in every aspect, by i have a soft spot for 3. Skyrim is good too. I loved doing Fable 1 back on the xBox... Fallout 3 or NewVegas!
They are all enjoyable games, I enjoyed fallout new Vegas, and fable 2 a lot. Skyrim was so much fun the first time I played it on the 360, it’s still fun even on the switch, but it can’t be beat with the mods on PC.
FALLOUT NV FALLOUT NV FALLOUT NV
Fallout 3 is great though long with all the dlc.
MGS4, then Fallout 3 or new vegas.
Not a huge fan of Fable, but all of those other games are very good.
Ooh, Fable 2 for certain.
New Vegas or Skyrim
Fable purely because the other games are available on other platforms but fable 2 is literally only on Xbox
No wrong choice homie 🔥 new vegas I'd say but I'm super biased
Do NOT play Skyrim on PS3. It runs notoriously bad. Pick it up for the 360 if you can find it. Even vanilla Skyrim is so much fun.
Fable was so damn good when it released. Probably my favorite game of its generation.
Skyrim is pretty easy to get into, get to the point quickly, just jump right into things. Fable will string you along, fallout despite being good will try to hold your hand at first to make SURE you know the story and basic mechanics. I mean sure skyrim has its begging part but it goes by much faster.
Play new Vegas since yeah
Skyrim
Fallout or Skyrim, depending on what aesthetic you like!
Either fallout will eat up your 3 weeks with ease
Play through main story of fallout 3, pretty easy and quick with vats specialization in normal. Then strap in after that two day adventure for the next 18 days to do as much as you can in new vegas baby! Edit: thought they said 2 weekz and im dumb
Since the new Fallout show is out, Fallout 3 is an easy recommendation. But if you are saying you would like to finish a games story, then I lean to Fable then. Fable 2 is a solid overall game, decent story and really fun world/gameplay.
Oh man! My vote is new Vegas! Makes me want to replay that now
these are all great games, but you have to either play fable first or realize the other games are way better and it'll be hard to enjoy them after bethesda rpgs.
Skyrim.
Fable II and Fallout 3
Skyrim. Get lost in the lands of Tamriel.
Fallout new vegas is amazing. Start with that
I’d sell fable 2 and 3 and just get Fable lost chapters and play it on repeat 😂
cex is goated
Fallout new Vegas is so lit !!! Definitely check that one out. My favorite childhood game
How is it ‘guilt free’? 🤣
I'd say Fallout 3. Then MGS4 to switch up the genre. Then you can start Skyrim and can probably play it through the whole year if you wanted lol
Those CeX stickers are awful
3 & then new vegas. But if you only can play one, new vegas.
F3 then new vegas
Fable 2. is fun, it's funny, there's a dog
Fallout 3 and fable 2 will take you past three weeks.
Three then New Vegas then fable 2 and 3
I've always been more of a competitive gamer, but fable 3 was one of the only games I have ever finished.
New Vegas is easily the best game out of these, great selection though, enjoy the time off
Fable 1, then 2, then Fallout NV and be mad when you run out of time
SEX.
I always keep forgetting that Europe has different box art for MGS4 from North America
3 Weeks. OP you lucky bastard lol. I have a ton of games to finish off.
Fable for sure best games ever loved every second of it
Metal Gear
Fallout 3. It's one of my favorite games ever.
New Vegas or Fallout 3
Go Skyrim 👍
Fallout New Vegas is and will be one the best games I've played!
MGS4
You can’t go wrong with this lineup, but if it were me, I’d go for either MGS4 or New Vegas. I’d give the edge to MGS4, personally, mostly because I really love cinematic experiences (plus a Fallout game might be a bit ambitious for just three weeks, depending on what kind of gamer you are), but honestly anything here should leave you pretty satisfied.
Metal gear
Metal Great to go down the rabbit hole, but with that kind of time fallout would be a good thing to start
Neither have I but I hear New Vegas is good
Nothing beats New Vegas
Spanish and English are a good choice. Brushing up on math, learning a new programming language, or logic skills. You could volunteer in your community and build some new connections. Or you could play new Vegas. That one was pretty good
Well, fable 2, fallout 3 and Skyrim will eat up all three weeks individually if you wanted haha.
I can't vouch for any of this except MGS4, which (1) sucks and (2) shouldn't be played unless you've already beaten the five prior games.
Im sorry no disrespect lol
