"Fallout 3 is Garbage, And Here's Why", video by hbomberguy

Fallout 3 won't even run on Win8/10 without a patch, at least for me. I'v never had a problem with NV. NV did release in a much poorer state than 3, but ended up in a much better one.

Highly disagree. Fallout New Vegas actually works on Windows 8/10 with only some bugs and glitches that can be patched out. Heck I could still play it without patches with the Ultimate Edition of New Vegas. Fallout 3 GOTY edition, in comparison, cannot run on Windows 8/10 and requires looking through an entire FAQ to figure out how to make it run on modern systems (I had to teach my siblings how to install Fallout 3 on a Windows 8 PC and that was a migraine inducing hour of reading the FAQ repeatedly).
That already negates your point entirely plus everyone else has already pointed out the holes in your arguments on Obsidian's supposed inferiority like Obsidian's painfully short development time and Bethesda's lack of effort despite its longer development time for Fallout 3. Seems like you want to undersell Obsidian for some peculiar reason...

Obsidian's only real flaw to me is being over-ambitious but in a formula-driven triple-A focused industry, isn't that a good thing for consumers to have a developer who possess real passion in game-making and advancing the medium over soulless corporations that simplifies the medium for mass market appeal?
 
Replying NV at the moment on 360 and the only bugs i've really encountered are occasional freezes. 3 is often unplayable on 360.

I remember when it came out, everyone complained that it was too glitchy, and I piked it up a couple days after it came out (it was meant to be on release day, but the Game near me had issues with the machines) and I completed it in a few days with only one freeze.

But even looking past the glitches and stuff and look at something as simple as difficulty.
Now Fallout 3 isn't a hard game, but the fact that I can't walk two minutes without three super mutants and deathclaw attacking me adds frastration to the game.
I'll die because the developers can't program respawn points properly.

Compare that to New Vegas, which is a difficult game at times, but that comes from how you use your tactics.
But Fallout is dead to most of us anyway, we still have a numer of extremely good games with extremely good side quests and side content.
I may do something simiilar to the Fallout 3 rewrite that someone on the Forum is doing (I apologise, I forgot your name, but I've read some of it, it's really good and I hope you're going to do an F4), where I do a FanFic which is how I would do botn Fallout 3 and 4 with all their expansions.
But yeah, Fallout 3 isn't entirely bad, it's just very meh.

I had less problems with my first NV playthrough, although I hit a glitch where Col. Moore wouldn't enter dialogue properly. I think the more regular freezing now could be because my 360 is getting on a fair bit.

I have had far more issues out of Fallout 3 on 360 than I ever did New Vegas. There are still buildings I cannot enter to this day without FO3 crashing. The notion that FO3 is better on a technical level is ridiculous.
 
I saw this and it is hilarious. Now I notice myself blindly following a compass arrow when I play the later games.
