3 is an odd one because I think it's a good game, but it sure as hell does not feel like Fallout. It feels like someone killed Fallout and is walking around wearing its skin.
Fallout 4 feels like Fallout more, but is also a terrible RPG. Good shooter, tho. If you treat it like Borderlands instead of the RPG it used to be, it's awesome.
New Vegas is the best of the 3D ones because it sure as hell has the right vibes (which it should, since it had at least 2 of the OG writers) and it has more RPGness than 3 and 4 combined.
A weird summary but a somewhat fair one. Yeah 4 does feel more like borderlands, that's a good point.
