I like new vegas more then 3. I played them both extensively. imo vegas is better for the crafting and hardcore mode. The dlc's for vegas are also better then 3's dlc's for the story that dead money, old world blues, and lonesome road bring to the game.

I would get both.
But in my personal opinion, 3 way better.

I only have enough for one or the other. I have $13.76 in my steam wallet.

Oh ok.
The playerbase is usually 50/50 on which one they liked more.
When New Vegas launched it was a buggy mess (Though it's been fixed now)

Fallout 3 is better than Fallout: New Vegas in my opinion. Has a greater variety of quests and more stuff to do.

Ok, i've found out that apparently Fallout 3 doesn't work very well with Windows 7, especially 64-bit. :/ I might just go with New Vegas...

I'm on Win7 64bit and it runs fine. Fallout 3 is also the better game.

You should have gotten New Vegas AND 3 when they were on Daily Deals / Flash Sales, because the Ultimate Edition / GOTY Edition was only $5 a piece. If you don't know how Steam Sales work, on the last day, today, they will bring back the most popular deals from throughout the sale. I suggest holding off buying either game until you see whether or not they are on a deeper discount, which New Vegas likely will be. I'm not too sure Fallout 3 will be brought back to 75% off, but it's better to wait and find out then to blow your money on one game and not be able to get both.


EDIT: Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition is currently on sale for $5!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/2028016/
The sale will only last until 6PST, so get it within 8 hours!
EDIT EDIT: Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition is also on sale for $5!
The sale will only last until 6PST, so get it within 8 hours!
