    I remember playing fallout 1 and 2 with my dad. He would sit me on his lap and every time he had to make a decision he would ask me what to do and he’d endeavour to replicate it in the game. Really shows the ingenuity of the developers that most of the time he could do pretty much anything I asked no matter how wacky. He also told me later that by following my instructions he discovered things about the game that he missed on his own playthroughs

      I just noticed why there was a dust up at the launch of Fallout 4. I just thought they were saying they didn't like it as much as NV which is overrated. I mean, it's not overrated like it's bad because in fact, it's a good average Fallout game. It's just like Fallout 3 and originally, I didn't like it because I felt like it should've been Fallout 3 DLC. Anyways the point of my post.
      I didn't realize Fallout 4 had a genre change. Lmao I never viewed Fallout 3 or NV as a Survival game. I thought they were just average Looter RPG's.
      And again. Fallout 4 was just as good if not better than NV but I say this as someone who doesn't understand what makes NV the best, baby.

      well, not entirely. Sometimes when you don't spoon feed people, their brain works more and have more critical thinking. So the person is more immersed because they are forced to. Those who couldn't use their brains to create a world, didn't play games....they needed the computer to spoon feed them with visuals and sounds.
      which is why people play today, they are spoon fed on every level. They don't even need to pay attention to the story. smash x through all conversations and still get the right choice.

      Fallout was a pseudo spiritual successor to Wasteland, and had to differenciate itself from that game. Wasteland is what you'd now call a standard post-apocalypse; just sorta the real world, but ruined. The retro-futurism was a genius move that gave it a unique setting and look.
      Somehow, Bethesda saw "tech inspired by 50's era sci-fi" as "it's a parody of the 50's" and I genuinely can't figure out where they got it from. I've been replaying 3 and there's a lady in Arefu who talks like a 50's trad wife, it's just.. bad. Like it makes no sense at all. Such a weird mis-step.

    I played Fallout for the first time two weeks ago, and the most brutal and grim part was when I went to fight the raider camp with small weapons at 95%, a hunting rifle, 150 rounds, and 14 healing packs, and it happened to be at night and I had the night vision perk.

    The first two Fallouts have a reputation among people more used to the conveniences of modern RPGs that they’re very difficult and so many people won’t even touch them or drop them too soon, but I can tell you that as someone in my early 20s with little RPG experience beyond Pokémon, I was able to get into the games pretty easily and was able to figure most things out myself. I just had to look up the controls beforehand, and most of the only times I got stuck and had to look something up were because of having to pick up really tiny objects I couldn’t see and had to look up where they were.

    Having been a top-fan, and dozens of playthroughs over the last 25 years. I think what really put Fallout into my heart, was that it was a different time. You had patience, you didn't have infinite fast paced games. You had the time to try options, paying attention, replaying, and actually invest in the story. Compare this to modern fast-paced games. If you are bored for a minute, you will drop the game and go do something else.

We in the present day looked into the pre-industrial era and assume that since the people at that time have not tasted industrialism, their idea of the far future must be to remain medieval but with millenia worth of time to perfected their crafts so well now they can fully utilized medieval technology to their higher potential, achieving industrialism solely powered by human and animal labor instead of machines.
      Steampunk is the industrial era version of this. We imagined that this setting never went past the industrial revolution, but they evolve so much that they can harness all the potential you can do with steamworks. Even a computer powered by steam will be invented at some point.
      Fallout is the cold war version of this. Transistor not a thing yet and from our perspective all the 50s generation talked about is nuclear power and communism. So we assume that their idea of the future is to use nuclear energy to their full potential without transistors. They can develop advanced robots while their computers look more like your old vacuum tv than a close and compact laptop.
      Basically they can do all this with just 50s level of tech. Hence the black and white TVs.

    If you sided with Gizmo, the casino makes the town flourish and people become wealthy and famous.

While it took awhile to get the hang of, I honestly really ended up enjoying them more than 4 or 76 or even my short time with NV.

    I think they handed us the PA so soon in fallout 4 was to simple show us how much different it was from the previous games. Honestly in 3 and New Vegas I maybe touched it once or twice. Fallout 4 changed that a lot, it’s now more of a pivotal point I try and get and scrounge up stuff to maintain. I hope to play the first two fallout sometime this year though! They look like really fun games!

    It's funny how Fallout 1's supermutant ending and Fallout 2's intro both terrify me in a gut wrenching way. Seeing the super mutants blasting their way through the vault and hearing Jacoran being beaten to death plus that one clearly friendly person among a family barely being able to wave before they're gunned down mercilessly.
    It's terrible, but that's what makes it good stuff.

      They are sterile. Your Fallout 2 super mutant companion says he might have gotten a lady preggers, after some amour, but the writer of Fallout 2, Chriss Avellone says, he only meant it as a joke, and we don't know Bethesda's stance on this.
      This coupling I mentioned was done with a human by the way, so even if it was possible this way, it's still incompatible with Master's plan, as he considered the normals as self-destructive evolutionary dead ends, who should be sterilized and wiped out, in favor of his self-sufficient and unified master race.

      @@MikeMarlowe-ym3zy Metro Exodus devs, 4A were forced to say that it was open world when it wasn't. There was one interview where they admitted "it's not open world, the levels are just really large and not as linear." The point of the Metro games were to focus on the morality of human behavior as a result of your choices so if you played it like a normal FPS and shot everything on sight, including people, you got the bad ending. Which is my guess as to what you did.
      The games aren't really comparable; despite having some of the same developers because STALKER is supposed to be really dynamic with their A-LIFE artificial intelligence and METRO is a linear scripted first person shooter with an emphasis on story elements. I guess you could compare them on the fact they're both FPS and honestly; the release versions of both games had absolutely awful gunplay. Both games used stock sounds, poor animations and STALKER had a ton of reused animations.

      It’s an extremely common misconception that it is the spiritual successor to Wasteland and I’m not sure why it keeps getting perpetuated when the devs themselves have debunked that myth.

    My first play through of FO1, I explored the Glow for too long, absorbed a lethal dose of radiation. As in real life, there wasn't an immediate effect, I didn't really notice the radiation, didn't bother with radx, just took my time walking around. It was only (in-game) a few days later, during my return to Lost Hills, that I died of radiation poisoning. I had doomed myself without realizing it, and was forced to start my game over again.

    One of the moments I got the angriest at Fallout 2 was when I was given a time limit to go find a guy before conflict would break out. They told me he went north. I spent several in-game days looking through all the squares north of the town. Then I gave up, and googled where he was. Turns out that his actual location was several day straight west of the town, and that the time limit essentially was just enough to go there.
    I'm sorry, but if a guy in New York tells me to look for a guy in Canada when he's actually in Chicago, there's no way in the actual heck that I will find him.
