The fact of the matter is it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t mean it was a good game or something was done better (which is what Todd is looking for, validation), because some people liked it.

then what is? because 3 new vegas and 4 are all pretty much critically acclaimed, so would we go based off sales then? because in that case the order would be 4 then 3 then new vegas

That’s the point, it doesn’t matter. Enjoy any you want.

Todd just wants “his” Fallout games to be the most liked, to stroke his ego.

Also side note, sales never works as a metric because the gaming industry is constantly growing, any game released now sells much more than it ever would have 5, 10, 15, 20… years ago. Regardless of quality.

But when people talk about the great RPGs of the modern era New Vegas is brought up while Fallout 3 isn’t. Neither is Fallout 4 for that matter.
