Fallout 1...

[BigBallinStalin]

is the best turn-based strategy/RPG game of all time.

[Dibbun]

I never played Fallout 1. I played Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas though.

[BigBallinStalin]

"No way, dood! Fallout 3 and Las Vegas are exceptionally better!"

[BigBallinStalin]

[size=200] "Are you kidding me? The nostalgia and extent of imagination were unsurpassed in Fallout 1. Fallout 3 can't even compete!"

[Upgrayedd]

I quit Fallout 3 soon after those cockroaches (that I could kill at level 1) overran vault security forces

IT'S A TRAP

I don't know who this is for though...

[DiM]

fallout 2 was better.

[Upgrayedd]

Fallout 2 was batshit retarded.

[Symmetry]

They were almost exactly the same. 2 tweaked a few things, and had a bit, and I emphasise a bit, better plot, but it was the same game at any sane level.

The biggest criticism of Fallout 2 was that it was NOT different enough from Fallout.

[Dibbun]

I kicked ass in Fallout 3 with the Vats, especially with Lincoln's Repeater.. I was owning all sorts of fools. In Fallout NV though VATS was hella nerfed.

You have trouble with critical thinking.

The plot wasn't better, it was much worse, and that's why I say it's retarded.

You spend 2/3's of the game just wandering around looking for the GECK, you aren't introduced to the villains until the end game and you don't even know what they're up to until literally the final 20 minutes of play (when the various Enclave high officials do crude villains' expositions).

Asides from the plot the setting is also terribad. You have a ghost, people who dress up like ghosts to scare people away from their spooky farm, aliens, scientologists, Tom Cruise + wife, Chinese stereotype city, constant pop culture references and tons of other disjointed, tasteless things thrown in for kicks.

The retardedness in F2 was a taste of things to come (in Fallout 3).

As far as turn based goes I prefer the first two Xcom.

meh, so I bought Fallout 3 (haven't played the first two) for xbox last week and fell in love immediately. It's unlike any games I've played previously so it was really unique and refreshing.

Then I got to the final mission, completed it and....well, that was it. Couldn't finish the rest of the side quests or whatever even though I still had half of the map to explore. Apparently I have to buy an add-on (about 10 bucks) to just finish the rest of the game.

fucking lame as shit and typical modern force-the-consumers-to-purchase-things-that-should've-been-included-with-the-game-in-the-first-place mindset.

originally was going to rate it a 9.4/10 but it goes down to a 7.5 just for that stupid lame-ass shit ending.

I played fallout 3 and it was okay. My friends talk about it like its the best fucking thing to ever grace their console.

Mehh ill go back to playing my heroes of might and magic. also Dota 2

It was a well-designed and thought out game but there were a few big decisions made (like, not letting you continue play after you finish the main quest) that sucked complete ass.



less than a month until CS: GO comes out =(

Don't think I ever played Fallout 1, but I think I would've enjoyed it. I am looking forward to Wasteland 2 (google docs hosted 'Vision Document'), which I hope will be pretty great.

I know exactly what you're talking about AoG. You're not supposed to beat the game before you've finished all the side quests. Anyway me and my roomie are prolly getting the new counter strike I hope I see you on there!

So one of Steam's weekend deals was like $10 for Fallout: New Vegas. I remember hearing about this game when it first came out, and it sounded pretty fun though buggy. I figured I could probably get $10 of enjoyment out of the game, so I grabbed a digital version of it and have started up a character. He's a hardnosed but generally pretty nice fellow named Bebop. Ha.

I loaded my Fallout 3 game well before the final mission so I could complete all of the side quests first but anyway, the backstory of my character, named Buttmeister, is that he's hopelessly in love with Amata, the girl you're friends with in the beginning of the game, but he doesn't have the mental capacity to express himself in the way he wants so he just goes around killing everyone, regardless if they're good or bad.

Check out good old games http://www.gog.com. They have 1 and 2 on there, and a few months back they had Fallout 1 for free, so maybe they'll do it again.

As is, they have some great oldies for free and other stuff that costs like 5 dollars at most. Plus their games are much more stable than Steam's in my experience.

Signing up gets you Beneath A Steel Sky free, no financials necessary, which makes it worth a look.

I love using my imagination to enhance a game ^_^ I knew I was not the only dork out there that did this.

I don't think I've ever had any stability issues, but I'll check out Good Old Games, since I do indeed like good old games.
