Does anyone really prefer the older Fallout games?
I prefer the reboot, but is anyone still alive who remembers (and loves) the originals?

The action based formula works better for this type of game in my opinion.

I mean I prefer the tone and the overall feel of the original games (which is part of why I prefer NV to FO3). Bethesda can't really do moral ambiguity well; making the Brotherhood of Steel the "good guys" was the dumbest move I think they could have made and it really cheapened the whole game to the point that I haven't played it since my first playthrough when it dropped.

The original games didn't have good guys. Even the player character wasn't objectively "good". The Enclave was a very believable badguy- even today military and police personnel tend to think of themselves as "other" from the citizenry, but add a technological and physical divide and they'd almost certainly develop SOME sort of combination messiah/superiority complex. The Master's Army was a bit less well done but still alright, I suppose- The Master's goal was unification of all of humanity into what it perceived as the perfect organism for surviving the irradiated wasteland (which was either super mutants, or to simply merge them with The Master itself) .

FO3 has really hacky writing with a very black-and-white worldview, and a lot of the moral choices in the game are "do you want to be a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or not". NV isn't immune it, either; Caesar's Legion was the most saturday-morning-cartoon villain conceivable (and Caesar himself was remarkably underwhelming as a character). Still, it was a step in the right direction (the NCR was delightfully bureaucratic, House was a fine example of someone who saw themselves as a messiah [justifably?], and the BoS were properly morally grey), and I /really/ hope Bethesda take a look at that sort of tone, that sort of storytelling, and take that as a model for FO4 instead of ENCLAV WANT 2 KILL PPL BROHOOD OF STEEL STOP DEM


As far as gameplay... I mean I don't really hold bethesda games as paragons of gameplay. The engine is always buggy and visually uninteresting (ENBs help tho). Gunplay sucked in both of the modern fallout games, which looks to have been fixed in 4. Bethesda doesn't do dungeons well- FO3's consisted mainly of a series of hallways filled with everyones favorite trash mob, feral ghouls, and Skyrim's are just big loops filled with Draugr. NV avoids the traditional dungeon for the most part, thankfully- there are quite a few of them (and they're equally as uninspiring as 3's), but they're optional by and large.

So I mean it's a tossup. I like the Black Isles games far more from a storytelling and tone standpoint, but I like more modern-style games more than CRPGs. I'm optimistic for FO4, because they seem to have fixed most of my gameplay gripes (and the power armor looks orgasmic if it isn't some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ setpiece-only thing), and if they can get that particular Fallout style down then it'll definitely sway me more to liking the modern ones the most.

I think Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics were superior games as far as RPG goes. Fallout 3 and New Vegas have their appeal but I feel they didn't do proper justice to the world. I like them, but feel Bethesda would have done better to create their own iP.

They were very good for what they were at the time. But I really think that they didn't age well.
How do you figure?

Because I played them. How else would I figure?

I played Fallout 1 early this year and absolutely loved it. I like the new FPS ones and the old isometric ones. They're obviously quite different, but both are great and definitely worth a try if you haven't done so already.

Everyone should at least play them, that much should not be questioned because they have their merits, but they suffer the same degradation as every other game over time. The primary problem with isometrics, and the original Fallouts are no different, is that while giving the illusion of being very tactical games they are really quite the opposite. Without the ability for you to react immediately to the movements of your enemies and the enemy's ability to immediately react to yours all you do is attempt to "trap" each other in stupid situations based upon AP limitation, and that isn't strategy, it's exploitation.

You know, never once in my military career did I ever have one of my buddies tell me "this one time in combat, I just felt I had no energy left, and so I just stood in one place and let the enemies walk up to me and take free shots at me." When a game creates a situation where you can be stranded in the middle of nowhere, standing up without cover and the ability to only take 5-7 steps without attacking at all, that's not tactical, that's nonsense. Did it work for it's time? Absolutely, because technology was "quaint," and is it a good game? Absolutely, it's story works, and despite the wonky gameplay it can be enjoyable, but would a game exactly like Fallout 1 be as successful as the modern incarnations of the series? Absolutely not, regardless of what those who suffer blinding nostalgia will tell you.

Nostalgia isn't necessarily a bad thing, we all have it, even I think the original Shadowrun was much better than the new versions, but despite that nostalgia I haven't spent months on the Shadowrun boards making that opinion as often as I can, and the same could not be said about some of the nostalgic people on this board, as they take every chance they get to flame a game they've yet to even play merely because the box will say "Bethesda" on it.

If I could choose who should make new Fallout games, Black Isle, creators of original Fallout games...
Black Isle did not make Fallout. They didn't enter the picture until Fallout 2. Interplay made the original Fallout game, and according to Tim Cain, it was essentially a skunkworks project that was almost canceled twice because it wasn't Yet Another D&D clone.

This new game can't be as bad as NV. Surely.

Absolutely. Older Fallout games were better in terms of gameplay. 1 & 2 and and even Tactics had nice combat mechanics. Also the earlier Fallouts handled skills better. Fallout 3 and New Vegas did pretty poor job with the skills and apparently they did not find a way to fix the situation as in Fallout 4 the skills are apparently completely *gone*.

When Fallout 3 came out, I was pissed that they abandoned the classic mechanics of the series. But after much complaining, I tried it and soon fell in love with it. (And nearly laughted myself into a coma when Liberty Prime went on his Enclave killing spree.)

Since then, it has only gotten better over time by mods.

So be cynical all you want, but I wager many of you will again fall in love with the new system Bethesda comes out with. Only time will tell.

i think they just had not finished it in time(. the lead director (or whatever) itsself released a mod to get rid of at least some balancing stuff.

If I could choose who should make new Fallout games, Black Isle, creators of original Fallout games and Planescape: Torment (that IMHO is the greatest RPG ever created), people who also participated in creation of Arcanum, Vampire: The Masquerade, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout: New Vegas, The Temple of Elemental Evil, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Pillars of Eternity and few other games OR Bethesda, creators of The Elder Scrolls, an action RPG with open world, huge modding community and terrible writing, then I would choose Black Isle or to be more realistic Obsidian.

I like old Fallout games a little bit more.

yeah i too. i have no problem with the 3d stuff of course. but bethesdas "simplification" is as ugly as a radroach in the kitchen.

If you never played the original Wasteland...you're a rookie...go to your room. Bring back the 3-legged mutant hoor who gives players the radioactive klapp!!!!

...and we want the Head Dev to put himself in the game as Boss Barowner/brothelkeeper

...NOW!! Come BACK, Brian Fargo...
