Why do people like 2 more than 1? Fallout 2 is the Borderlands 2 of video games. It's full of dumb meme references that aren't actually jokes.
:)
Fo1 had plenty of references to pop culture, it even had the Tardis show up for chrissakes
fallout 1 is seriouser
fallout 2 is whackier
2 is much bigger and a expansion of the concept in a good way. While it has the wild wasteland type stuff, the additional content lets it be paced better.
It's like the improvement from Assassin's Creed 1 to 2. I'm willing to forgive a bit of Ezio silliness because the overall game has so much more to do in general.

Yes, for ten seconds in a random encounter, before Dr. Who was even big in North America.
1 is a more connected story and game, every location is pretty important. 2 has more stand alone areas that you can ignore safely because they're just silly.

what
>>316821993
before internet culture and memes there were popular culture references
fallout 2 is full of them on every spot even if you don't realize it's a reference
It's a lot longer with more to do and there's some satisfying ties to the first game. I like 1 more but 2 is more than twice as long. The references are too much but it is what it is.
2 has better locations. New Reno is the highlight of the game, and Frank is a good villain.
But I do agree that the references get out of hand. We get it, you like Monty Python.
Fallout 2 had the temple of trials, so fuck it in the ear either way.
Apart from the stupid dialog it's pretty much better in every single way.
if Fallout 2 was made today, it would have nyan cats and narwhals and other normie memes. you'd see a retarded stripper dancing the gangam style. your perks would reference "come at me bro" and "do you even lift?". a trait you can have if you pick red hair is "no soul" and you can survive one fatal shot with 1 HP.
just, fallout is no better than any other game series. they don't have more integrity or pride, because it's MADE by normals.

Fucking kids, Dr. Who was big in America then, you were just a fucking baby watching Barney The Dinosaur at the time
Why do you think it got featured in an AMERICAN video game? because Interplay were hipsters? Fuck off incorrect retard
>>316820842
>Why do people like 2 more than 1?
Because all the game and gameplay mechanisms have been improved? Fuck, managing companion was a pain in the first one, just for that improvement alone I prefer Fo2
>>316823760
It's not hipster to like british shit. That's why there is so much Monty Python crap in their games.

>why can't I hit anything with my 20% melee skill
Gee, I dunno.
>>316824027
Bad design? Bad game? Bad combat?
Pick one, but you have to pick one.
Because I played FO2 first, and I found FO1 to be a bitch to play compared to 2 so I never finished it.
>>316824140
Bad player.
>>316822180
The problem is that borderlands 2 is the borderlands 2 of video games
>>316824304
How am I a bad player if the game gives me bad rolls and misses? You're not making any sense. You can't get "good" at rolling dice.
To be honest I do prefer 1 over 2. Mostly because 1 was a genuine post-apocalyptic adventure, while 2 started off with tribal shit.
>>316820842
>Why do people like 2 more than 1?
People those people haven't actually played either. They just say they have for nerd cred and assume 2 is the better game because it has almost infinitely more, but mostly way worse, content than 1.

>A video game is the video game of video games
has shitposting gone too far?
>>316824453
It's called mitigation and math you retard. You have understand the range of yourbrolls and compensate for them by making tactically appropriate choices with your moves and loadout.
>>316820842
I played both as a teen and 2 IS better. Fuck your cunty underage opinion.
The only good thing about Fallout 4 is all of the Fallout 1/2 threads we have now. God damn it I miss those games.
>Aiming for the crotch and eyes and reading the descriptions:
>"[Woman] Raider was critically hit in the groin for x hit points. Her child-bearing days are in trouble as she slumps to the ground out of the fight"
>That first time you run into a Wanamingo.
>tfw limb crippling actually does something.
>That 1 int run dialogue.
>Asians constantly make fun of the shape of your eyes.
>That shotgun wedding with the abolute worthless, dead-weight girl which you can later pimp at the porn studio.
>Watching a hubologist critically miss a plasma grenade and shred himself and half his crew to pieces.
>Arm wrestling a super mutant, losing and waking up the next day with a sore ass and a ball gag.
>Reading frustrated casual manbabby stories about people that couldn't get out of the trial temple.
>>316820842
Im sick of these people preaching about f2 meme shit. f1 was just of of references just the same, the creators even encouraged the team to add their little in-jokes, this has been always a part of fallout.
