FO1 and FO2

[HAHAHAHAHA]

Is it still worth it to play these 2? since Fallout Franchise is on sale rn, I'm kinda thinking if it is still worth it to play these isometric games. I know the lore by watching YT tho.

Do you enjoy old games from the 90s? If you feel nostalgic these are masterpieces. And they have been restored to be playable on modern systems. Even with cloud save support. If you agree with these conditions, probably you'll like them.

I'm about to replay 1 and 2. I want to find a good mod set, and find out if they are still fun. Honestly, at the price, you can't lose (not even to Mr. House)

Yes, Fallout 1, 2 and NV are the only ones worth.

people do be sleeping on fallout 3

Idk. If you already know the lore, maybe? It's an old game and sometimes it'll feel dated.

I enjoyed my time playing the first and the second, but it's also undeniable that you don't have the freedoms of modern RPGs.

One of my main drives for playing both was to uncover the story in each game.

Fallout 3 is a revolutionary game. That being said with the perspective of playing it when it releases and nonstop (with pauses) since them. I've also played NW and 4. These are all great games and so vast and complex that I have the humility of only knowing a small part of them, even when I've poured hundreds if not thousands of hours combined. But there's always a bigger fish as there's always a more 'dedicated' player that will find 1001 reasons to love/hate whatever game they focus on. Sometimes Fallout 3 is attacked by his dated engine and graphics from players that would spend countless hours playing indie games with dismal graphical quality. It's also a game of expectations versus reality. But if you know how to play Fallout 3 or 4 or NW or 1 or 2, even if you know how to get in tune with 76, these are all fantastic simulations of virtual reality of that terrifying situation it would be the apocalypse after nuclear war.

Maybe watch some promotional material about it to get your mind into the POV of the gamers of the time before you play them. PERSONALLY I love old games. They approached story telling and game mechanics in very different ways from games made now and I view the art styles, gameplay, and writing as more of a hallmark of a genre than of being "dated."

Don't listen to the fanboys. Every Fallout game is worth playing.

Including Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel (PS2)? They weren't great back then and I guess that hasn't changed over the past couple of years. Both 3 and 4 are as shallow as it gets and are only popular due to on-going mod support.

I personally prefer Interplay's initial take on the franchise before Bethesda acquired the IP, though. Everything that followed after that is basically Morrowind/Skyrim with guns - and depending on who you ask - either good or bad.

There's also the infamous 76...

Every each one of your interventations has been agressive with the community. Try to be polite with other gamers.

Tactics is amazing. Basically X com meets Fallout, with much more fallout stats and mechanics. The only reason to say tactics is not good is as a rpg game, which should be obvious given ITS NOT a rpg game. But I guess some people missed the memo.

Any1 that wished for a purely focused on combat and test different skills and combos and builds.

And like it or not 3 and 4 are popular because they are easier for casuals to get into, specially 4 with modern graphics.

BoS is ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

People need to stop propagating that tactics is a bad game without even touching it or realizing it had bad reception just because it wasnt a rpg.
