Fallout

Anyone like playing Fallout? I didn't see a thread for the Fallout series so I thought I'd make one. :3

What's your favorite game in the series?

I really like Fallout 2, but as an enormous Bethesda fanboy, I'd have to go with Fallout 3. New Vegas was an ugly, janky mess (surprise it's an Obsidian joint,) but I still put about 25-30 hours into it before giving up. Been thinking of going back, but I fear it'll be so dated looking as to be unplayable.

All Elder Scroll and Fallout games age horribly that going back to them is difficult. It's like going back to a FPS on the Playstation 1, sure you can still play it but its horrible.

That's...completely wrong, but whatever.

I like New Vegas because for me it has an old western movie feel to it. I also like that each companion has has their own quest for you to complete. It makes me feel something for each character. Fallout 3 is a great game, too. It's the first game to make me jump out of my seat. XD

Yea.. I love Fallout 3.. I haven't finished all of the DLC yet but I finished the main storyline.. I've been playing a lot more Skyrim lately so I haven't gotten around to finishing it.

I will say I was on the edge of my seat during the Sony conference.. They started up a trailer for a game that I was almost certain was for Fallout 4.. Unfortunately it was for Mad Max.. Which just made automatically dislike that game..

Hahaha! Right!? I'm with you on that one, man. I started to get hyped as sh*t.

When it came out, at my work, my manager had picked up Fallout 3 and was buzzing about it. I picked it up on his recommendation, as did the warehouseman and it was pretty great hearing our stories about it. The same game, with three very different experiences from it. I hadn't played it for ages, and when I last went to put it on, it had disapeared from the case. I moved house, and some items are still in limbo, a whole year and a half later :-/ It's probably been packed in one of the 'loft' boxes, and there's quite a few of them!

For me, it was all about the humour and the soundtrack. That f**king song, I would wonder about for hours just waiting to hear Civilazation. And that black and white level, where you had to go around and stab everyone up, proper dark and proper hilarious at the same time.

I'm thinking of starting from the original Fallout and playing them in order. I never have.

I'm playing through New Vegas. I didn't realise how quickly NCR, Legion and Yes Man wanted Mr. House dead. Made it much more difficult to play all sides for as long as I wanted, especially when you fail all NCR and Legion quests as soon as you deal with the Omertas for House. I've played all the DLC quests to level up in the meantime but now I think I have to do as many Brotherhood of Steel quests as I can before I need to decide between joining a faction amiable to them or betraying them.

I started playing Fallout 1 but I'll come back to it. Started playing Fallout 4, which JUST received a major "next gen" update yesterday from Bethesda that fixes a ton of graphical stuff. Honestly, it's kinda tough, at least on "Normal" setting. Like the first "real" mission beyond "destroy the giant monster outside" as soon as you get your first power suit (which is no cakewalk either) is "Kill all the Raiders" inside a factory. It's hard as hell! Every raider takes like 8 shots to kill and by the end and many re-loads to survive I had like 0 ammunition left.

My friend swears by "New Vegas," swears that I'll be LOLing the whole way through with the different ways to play the game.
