So they are both having roughly the same setting. If I'd now play Fallen Earth instead of Fallout, what would I get? So if I'm right (I'm not an expert on either game),

FE is superior to Fallout in matters of:

• crafting
• larger world
• amount ontent in general (faction system and stuff)
• multiplayer

While FE is inferior in matters of:

• bugs
• graphics
• combat (possibly? I liked the way the action camera style in Fallout during combat)
• story (this is just a guess. But I assume that Fallout is having a superior storyline, simply because it doesn't really have a need for grind quests and such)
• price (subscription fee)
• humor (just a guess again. I'm not sure how much humor can be found in FE, but Fallout had some hilarious moments)
• dependency (you can always play Fallout. But when FE closes it's servers, it's game over)
• sound (mostly a guess as well. I loved the Fallout sounds, as well as the oldie-songs, while I read that the sounds in Fallout should be rather mediocre)

I don't want to bash FE or anything, it's one of the few MMORPGs I actually consider buying. But is this comparison about right? Or what would you add?

The two are incomparable. Completely different games. Completely different architecture,. Completely different development processes. Completely different set of challenges.

• from here down i have no idea what i'm talking about.  It's all guessing on my part, so i probably shouldn't have listed them since they aren't really facts.

No, your comparison isn't right.  I wouldn't even call it a comparison, because, really, what did you compare?

MrBloodWorth is right.

Might as well compare Fallen Earth to Batman: Arkham Asylum.

No, your comparison isn't right. I wouldn't even call it a comparison, because, really, what did you compare? 

I compared the graphics, sounds, quests and the other stuff. I don't get your point.

The two are incomparable. Completely different games. Completely different architecture,. Completely different development processes. Completely different set of challenges.

Elaborate please. To me they don't seem that much different. They are both roleplaying games with a postapocalyptic setting. The biggest difference is: one game is to some degree multiplayer, the other is completly singleplayer. In what way should they be that different that you can't compare them?

Fallen Earth: It's a sandbox game where you progress your character over months of gameplay and you can group, form guilds, eventually build towns, and the game will continue to have new content added and grow like any other sandbox MMO.

Fallout 3: You play through the story and return the game to the rental store.

I am sorry, but that is funny.. LOL

I don't know if I could rent Fallout from Blockbuster, I probably would have never returned it.

Really? You can build towns? I though you just took over towns within the Pvp zones.

My short time with FE was enjoyable and I plan on supporting the devs later on (busy with Eve atm). As for FO3 the game for me atleast was amazing and the only single player rpg I've played more (in the last few years) has been mass effect.

I don't know anyone who just played FO3 to the end and sold it off. Most people are still messing with it since its release.

Damn thing has more content and replay value than most themeparks on the market.

When I finished the story the game was *over*. It didnt let me continue on like in Oblivion. I didn't feel like starting over..

Sorry to continue off topic. But the ending problem in Fallout 3 is easily fixed, either with a community made mod or with one of the official downloadable expansions (which also rasises the level cap to 30, another thing you could also opt to get through a mod if you so wish).
 

fallen earth and fallout are about as different as rice and bread.

fallen earth is muc more of a generic MMO  that you could reskin to nearly any genera 

while  fallout is a post nuclear world  which is a bit harsher world for the most part   much more diverse weapons food and drink are more important  but you are also quite alone

both worlds are static and never changing  you will never make any part of your world a better place for having worked or fought somewhere.

People keep mentioning Fallen Earth is a sandbox.

It is not. You cannot build your own towns, have your own housing, etc.  The dev response is something to the effect that they are considering it (last i knew)

To reiterate, it's not a sandbox.

I think the issue comparing the two is the online aspect. If you played both games as a single player game (no grouping, ignoring chat, etc.) Fallout wins hands down.

If you factor in grouping and the social aspect...I guess it's who you group with. Fallout has some pretty sweet companion mods =)
