Fallout Anyone?

Also, it's just a game. Course if you want to chew out a game because a certain landscape doesn't look like what it's supposed to. I suppose you could make your own version of how the game is supposed to be done.

I love the Fallout games....i have 1,2, and Tactics for the comp., and Fallout 3 (unfortunately not GOTY edition) for the PS3....I've even played the one they had for the PS2....it is possibly my fav. series of games (except for Suikoden)....I love the humor of 1 and 2 (and even tactics) and was saddened when they seemed to have left that out of 3...haven't played New Vegas yet (money is a bit tight)

I will say this much, I'm not sure I'd recommend Fallout 1 or 2 for people who are more used to playing the types of games more current today. What I mean is, if you can't stand the idea of playing something that isn't in the first person perspective with 3d graphics and intense real time combat... there's a lot of games out there that the old dinosaurs like me will regard as some of the finest examples of gaming ever made that just aren't going to work very well for you. If playing isometric turn based combat games is fine with you, then yeah, those games are amazing value for just how cheap you can get them these days, as are some of the other Black Isle games.

Fallout 2 is in some ways a bit tougher than 1 initially, there's a bit of an uneven start. It was no problem for me, but a friend who wasn't quite as hardcore a gamer could never get past that slightly uneven area in difficulty/available weapons between leaving the village to arriving at Vault City. Just be aware of that if you do play, it may not be an issue for many people but others have a tough time with it.

I bought Fallout when it first came out. What a little Gem! The atmosphere was perfect, 50's retrofuture, and the music. I still love that Louis Armstrong song.

I loved the feeling of exploring a huge and genuinely interesting world, and being able to discover things for myself. Blasting radscorpions to bits with an uzi. Fun times.

Fallout 2 was good too, though it lacked the 'tightness'. It was much bigger, and more sprawling. A less coherent experience. But still, more Fallout so very enjoyable.

I have all four Fallouts, and all the games have been a blast, the best RPGs I have ever played.

Fallout 3: This was the first fallout I played, and the first western RPG. I was taken aback by the complexity, but as I got used to it I was hooked. Spending hours scavenging for junk to sell should not be fun in any context, but it is in Fallout 3. The only problems I have are the story, which is badly written and feels like B-movie pulp, the character designs, which look like talking mannequins, and the dialogue, which is simplistic as hell. Awesome game.

Fallout 1: The first game I bought on my Grand Old Games Account. I like the atmosphere and the combat system, and the story, hate that damn timer in the beginning. This is a sand-box game, people play it for the freedom it has, we don't want timers in our game. Good, but not great

Fallout 2: Now this game is way better than 1 and 3! Everything about it is perfect: the combat, the character building, the story, the funny if juvenal dialogue. You can do anything, become a pro boxer, a pornstar, slave trader, sheriff, kung fu master, a master thief, a spy, anything. Of the first three games, I still play F2.

Fallout New Vegas: Now this may be the best of the Fallouts,tieing with Fallout 2. New Vegas took all the major flaws of 3 and streamlined it, the character building wasn't as broken and it isn't as easy to build a powerhouse, the dialogue makes sense, the graphics have improved, the combat is fun and not wooden, the story is interesting and entertaining, and there is no cap at level 20!

If I had to pick a game for a noob, I would pick Fallout New Vegas. It has the best part of the original two Fallouts and the innovations of Fallout 3.

Only played 2 it was pretty kewlz0r

I love Fallout 3. I must have put 500 hours into the various characters I've made since I bought it at launch. I haven't gotten New Vegas yet, as this time I'm waiting for all of the DLC to come out and be included on a disc with the game.

I much preferred Fallout 3 to New Vegas. There's too much talking and conversation in New Vegas. I am at peace and alone in number 3. I'm a loner in games. New Vegas is also full of bugs.

New Vegas is somewhat better then Fallout 3 and a little less good than 2.

As I see it, the main fault of New Vegas is that the world is simply way too crowded, making the Mad Max feel of the first two games entirely gone

There is an upside to this, namely the feeling that the world you are in is slowly rehabilitating (just think at the development of the NCR throughout the series!) and your character is making his contribution to restoring civilization.
