Fallout NV is the better Written game, but Fallout 3 is the better Designed game. Fallout 4 is worse than both in every way.
4 is far better in gunplay, courtesy of the folks at Id.
Sure, for the first few levels, until you get to the point where everything is a bullet sponge and now it stops mattering how good or bad gunplay feels when every enemy takes 5 minutes to kill if you use anything other than the highest damage weapons in the game. Late game Fallout 4 is just bad to play, it feels awful and makes you hate the combat after a while. At that point, I'd take the crappy gunplay of Fallout 3 or NV any day. (I'd give NV the slight edge over 3 on that, due to having actual iron sights instead of a generic zoom effect when aiming.)
