Fallout Anyone?

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone ever played Fallout? If so, did you like it and why? i have just purchased this game and am curious what others thought of it.

Which Fallout? Fallout 3 is my preference although I also enjoy Vegas.

Fallout had previous incarnations; I assume you are not speaking of those?

If you are speaking of 3/Vegas, I enjoyed it immensely and gladly sacrificed many hours of my life to it. I played it obsessively for some time and would love to discuss the game.

I have played all of the Fallouts. Fallout 1 and 2 during my school days and I religiously still play it today. Fallout 3 was kinda bad but using mods tend to fix itself out. I enjoy Fallout New Vegas because of the "Original Fallout Devs" worked on it.

I was referring to the original game, since I had never played any of them I decided to start with this one. I just bought it.

i've only really played fallout 3 and i'm an addict already, honestly first game in nearly ten years that i got and couldn't stop playing it.

i hate new vegas with a passion they degraded my desert home serverly, the desert does not look like that, where are the rock formations, where are the cactus? i bought this game because i was homesick terribly and got served, that is not my desert. i lived in arizona for 10 years, it was a beautiful place, none of this ugly green and brown from the forest areas. never humid and the bugs didn't eat you alive. i got the game if only because it was placed on the border of nevada and az.

not only that the characters talk monotone, none of them are fun or interesting in the slightest, and that makes the whole atmosphere of the game depressing as hell. not even xemnas the king of monotone sounds that boring.

not to mention my character is ugly as hell it's a he i think, the face is stretched far to much and looks horrible, i tried the best i could with him but it's beyond me.

the game is also pretty pointless, i felt like i was doing quests just to do quests just like i did in wow. is there a story here anywhere?

a little background on my own character would be nice.

honestly the only thing i found worth while in this game was ironsights. but now i have that in three along with the weapon mod kits.

i hope i can find some mods that make this s**t worth my time, otherwise i wasted 50 bucks.

fallout 3 on the other hand is awesome just the main map alone is worth a look at least, that and storming the capital with a bunch of team members is awesome. honestly this game was what finally pulled me away from wow long enough to kick the addiction and stay off.

as for anything before, after playing fallout 3 i'm not touching the first two with a ten foot pole, the graphics in those basicly suck and are eye gouging aftering seeing fallout 3.

flame me all you want i'm not replying.

So anyways. Fallout 1 was a masterpiece. Fallout 2 with the restoration pack makes it all the worthwhile. Fallout 3 is not like the first two. Fallout New Vegas is like the first two, mainly with the dialogue. Some great fallout sites for things... Regardless of graphics, (Really who cares about graphics) Fallout 1 pays homage to Wasteland.

@ Other Dude. Most people use this website for their mods. Perhaps you should, too.

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/

i'm actually a member of nexus that's where i got my 50 or so mods i have in 3 from, and managed to break harkness 9 times with. heck i pretty much just broke my whole save file for what seems like the hundredth time.

rule of the day i learned, don't use 2 companion mods at once. i'm now going to make a mod testing game so i can't break my main game anymore.

the thing is i just don't know if pumping even one mod let alone 50 is going to make new vegas even slightly enjoyable for me. the worst part about this game is all the characters complain about being in the desert as you walk by. and that rips my heart out i was born in az and i love the desert, i would sell my soul if i could be back there again. i miss looking out my window and seeing something worth looking at. and they are complaining about my home, i won't even torture myself to listen to such blasphomy, even in a wasteland they are better off then me.

I beat the first two games (Wasteland and Fallout) but I haven't been able to get very far in Fallout 2 yet

Should I play Wasteland before Fallout? Is it in the same game series?

Also thanks for the feedback. Like I said, I just bought this game and haven't really gotten into it yet. I don't much care for the graphics, but otherwise am willing to give it a shot.

I have fallout 3.

Its an interesting game concept but I don't really like it that much. The movement when your character walks/runs is the old 1990's 'float above the ground' type of motion so it gets really irritating to the eye (nauseating in my case) in a short time.

Very basic game controls and things to do. I mean, seriously if the game is about survival in a post-nuclear wasteland then why does it play like if it was duke nukem or counterstrike?

I really found Assassins Creed to be far more challenging, engrossing and entertaining than Fallout.

Weird. I find the entire AC series incredibly easy and boring. I guess I enjoy fallout and other rpgs more because of the extensive dialogues and written things. If you want survival, go play STALKER. Now we shouldn't get off topic here and I have to point out Wasteland is a different game then fallout since it is party based. Fallout itself is a spiritual successor to Wasteland. It's more of a "Roleplaying Game" then the later game "Fallout 3" which is basically run around, shoot stuff and collect items like a pack rat. Also, don't attempt to compare the Arizona of Fallout New Vegas to the current one because it is completely different being that the Fallout one is set 200-250 years after the Bombs felled and when the Master's Mutant Army was defeated by the Vault Dweller of Vault 13. Have you see the intro of the first Fallout? No? Have a look now!

Not really the same series, but Brian Fargo lost the rights to the Wasteland name and made Fallout instead. They're very similar in terms of setting and storyline, but very different games...I liked Wasteland a bit more than Fallout because it reminds me a lot of Dragon Warrior III or Ultima V.

But if you think Fallout has bad graphics, you really won't like Wasteland...

Actually, Brian Fargo regained the rights to Wasteland around 2003. So do expect him to be working on a future wasteland game.

While Fallout and Fallout 2 can feel very sluggish by modern gaming standards, they are masterpieces full of irreverent humor that made Fallout 3 look and feel like a joke.

For all the glitz and game play mechanics of Fallout 3, it lacked the heart and soul of the original Fallout franchise.

in that much time the desert would have grown back, end of story. i don't even need to watch any video because of that simple fact. and if the bombs did hit the az and nevada desert, vegas and the hoover dam would be destroyed. so there is no reason that the desert has to look like that.

Keep in mind that Fallout and Fallout 2 were done in a time when the popular conception of nuclear war is that for hundreds of years later the world would be a wasteland. Not that it couldn't happen in reality if we launched enough bombs to utterly decimate the biosphere, but we've since learned that most of the planet would recover in a matter of decades, not centuries.
