Is Fallout 2 fun or shit?

I've only played the 3D fallouts, prefering NV obviously.

Should I play Fallout 1 then 2? Or just 2, if at all.

Also

>>342112429
1 then 2 if you're autistic and enjoy continuity.if you're just looking for a good time skip 1.
>>
you should play both faget
2 is my favorite of the bunch though
>>
>>342112704

>if you're autistic

Do you know where we are?

>>342112704

>looking for a good time

So you're saying Fallout 1 isn't fun or entertaining?
>>
1 is the best Fallout.

2 is good if you want more of the same.
>>
I loved Fallout 1 and 2, but this was back in 2006 after picking them up from the bargain bin at Staples. There's a fallout 1 online mod that was quite popular for a while, dunno if it's still going
>>
>>342112429
Play 1 first you dumbass.
What made you think you shouldn't play them in order?
>>
1 is much better than 2.
>>
There's no reason to not play the main series in release order. Fallout 1 is a great game.
>>
>>342112429
The only shit fallouts are BoS, 3 and 4.

Fallout Official Rating Order: 1>Tactics>2>NV>>>>3>>>4>>BoS
>>
Are the original Fallouts anything like Wasteland 2?
Like OP, only have played 3, NV, and 4. Love them. I have 1 and 2 on GOG from when they were free, but never tried them because I wasn't sure if I'd like them.
Saw a stream of Wasteland 2 years ago and saw it was like XCOM and Fallout and immediately added it to wishlist. But poor. A few weekends ago it was free to play, so I ended up playing it the entire weekend because it was fucking awesome. Still too expensive for me though.
But now I'm thinking maybe FO1 and 2 are like it. Are they?
>>
>>342112429
Were you born after '95? If yes, then you won' t enjoy either.
>>
>>342113564
Wasteland 2 plays more like Fallout Tactics.
1 and 2 are more story-focused, and you only control the main character, companions have their own AI. In terms of RPG mechanics they are better than Wasteland.

Also, Fallout 1 was a spiritual successor to Wasteland 1.

>>342112429
Really good with the restoration mod, kinda shit without it.

If you have the patience for cRPGs and older games in general, definitely.

I'd recommend playing the first game before the second for a few reasons. Primarily, because the first game is much smaller in scale and a little more streamlined so it eases new players into the experience nicely. The gameplay between the first and second games are incredibly similar, the only differences being that 2 has far more content and fixes/smoothes over a few rough edges from the first game. The plot and setting of the first two games are also very heavily tied together so that by playing the second one only you'd be missing out on a LOT.

So yeah, I'd recommend starting with the first game and jumping in. The meme that they're clunky and boring and only fun via nostalgia is total bullshit. I played them for the first time three years ago and now they're some of my favourite games ever.
>>
>>342113238

Heard that first one was shit
>>
>>342113742
I was born in '98 and I enjoyed them both immensely.
Played them when I was 7, after playing a bit of tactics, but the game kicked my ass. When I found there where other fallouts I wanted to play them immediately because I loved the overall atmosphere of tactics.

tl;dr Fuck you, people born after '95 can also enjoy older games.

PS: My 8 year old cousin finished Fallout 1 a week ago and is midway through Fallout 2

>>342112429
Fallout 1 and 2 are the only good Fallout games

>>342113564
Wasteland is party based while in Fallout you control a single character.

New Vegas was the only 3D Fallout I played and I loved it. Went back last fall and played FO1 and 2 and I had a ton of fun. I actually immediately replayed Fallout 2 after I finished it the first time . They're among my top games of all time.

And his did you made that assumption?
I finished fallout 1&2 before there was any news of fallout 3 but I think fallout NV was better than fallout 1 both gameplay wise and story wise
You do know you don't have to follow whatever /v/ tells you just to fit in, right?
>>
>>342115098
I recommend taking speech and leveling that to 100% as soon as you can. Lockpicking isn't that important, but it can be VERY helpful
>>
>>342115236
Except most of /v/'s opinion is that FNV is the best, just like yours.

FNV was a bug-ridden mess at launch. It still has bugs. There's invisible walls, the gameplay is almost the same as 3, except for ammo types and a "reworked" skill system (Skill checks got fixed, at least).The game railroads you all the way to New Vegas, with only a few optional stops. Even 3 didn't do that. The story was definitely worse than 1&2, in my opinion, the writing was worse, and it was kind of a mess as a whole.

Pic related, an invisible wall.

The game obviously suffered from the time constraints, if it weren't for that, I'm sure it could've been a better game.

It's still miles above 3, though, but when a game needs mods to be playable (Like F3 and NV), it means it's not very good

Nope, I just think New Vegas had stronger characters and an actual narrative theme, as well as a better opportunity for roleplaying. Fallout 2 had too many memes and was massively inconsistent in it's quality (If it weren't for the inconsistency it would be my favourite) and Fallout 1 was too streamlined, and whilst it's obviously a bit of an unfair comparison it just lacks a lot of the open content of the sequels.

Equally I could accuse you of saying Fallout 1 and 2 are the best just because someone else told you they were.
>>
>>342115917
If you bothered to read my post you would have known that I said fallout 2 is the best fallout
Also fallout NV has something that neither fallout 2 and 1 had
A strong community of modders with shittons of mods that adds replaybility and fixes most of the problems including the invisibles walls and bugs that crash the game
Also we can't decide which story is the best story because this is purely based on personal opinion and taste but we can all agree that 3 and 4 had shit stories

It would be really hard to adapt for that old type RPG and low resolution, but it worth it after all. Most of the people probably can't deal with lack of hand holding game design, maps and markers everywhere on screen. You have to read so much, game doesn't forgive your mistakes, but also has quick saves, so you can save scam through everything pretty much. Just need time and patience.
Play fallout 1 at first of course, story is really hard tied up between them, you don't wanna skip it. Some people don't like fallout 2 because of a lot fourth wall breaking and pop culture reference, but it has so much content, like holy shit. It's probably 3 times bigger than first one, so most people don't give a shit in the end.

Nah not really. New Reno plays the whole cheesy gang mob families thing totally straight, whereas New Vegas subverts it not only as part of developing the setting (the tribal culture) and the theme (letting go) but also the personality of one of the main characters (House)

Besides, other than the Wrights the families of New Reno were pretty boring.

Don't listen to this idiot, OP. FO1 is buggy but is a better game than FO2 (which is also good except for the endless references and the last 1/3 of the game which is kinda boring, and also the final boss is a shit character). Unless you're one of those "muh time limit" people.

The only Fallouts that are actually overrated is Fallout 3 and 4. There's been too much said about why, but honestly, New Vegas isn't "overrated". It's GOAT, as are Fallout 1 and 2. Hell skyrim/fallout 3 are only enjoyable if you ignore all story, plot, quests, and just do whatever the fuck you want, which most people do, since they don't give a rats ass about story.

Played Fallout after Fallout 2 and found it worse in every way. There's no soul to it at all, and too many dialogue options unpredictably lead to to railroad options out of nowhere, which themselves lead to combat (with an entire town usually). Nostalgia goggles can be found within subsets of nostalgia.

1 is the best overall package, 2 has the best content, and NV is hampered by gamebryo, Sawyer's bland faction design, and the inability to use concepts from Van Buren because Bethesda.

F1 -> Underrail -> AoD

I wouldn't say it is though I like both games. Fallout 2 has more content and more options for play, though one could argue that the story of Fallout 1 is more focused I wouldn't say it's better.

its amazing. its the only fallout i have played and was really good
be sure to visit killap though

>>342112429
I would recommend FO1.
It is more simplistic, but has the same mechanics.
It is a better way to get into the game. And it is better.
I can't imagine going into the world of FO2 with no idea how anything works.

>>342119992
Fallout is the easiest with AoD and Underrail being harder

This is the worst advice.

Fallout 1 and 2 are pretty much the same game, gameplay-wise. Might as well start with 1 since it's only a few hours long and has a better story.

Start with the first one. Games are basically the same gameplay-wise but 2 can be very frustrating the first 5 hours if you are a newcomer.

That said I still think 2 is the best game in the series.

No, no it wasn't.

>it was not a good reintroduction of what use to be,
Yes it was. The old faction system didn't account for stuff like "Wild Child" or "Troublemaker" and acted on a pretty binary basis of "Good vs bad" reputation for each settlement.

>The map just felt worse than 3s as well.
You must be joking. The only good part of Fallout 3's map was DC and that was only really saved by the visual design. The rest of it was blasted rock with dotted, poorly written settlements that were designed to be memorable theme park rides ("That super-hero town" "that vampire place" "that funny dictatorship") with no actual place in the world, connection to the setting or role in the narrative.

What, was there too many? I literally don't understand this complaint especially 'compared to what it used to be'
>and it really got worse factoring in the karma system.
The Karma system in NV is better than in 3's by virtue of the fact alone you cannot blow up Goodsprings and suddenly become 'Good' by giving a million water bottles to a hobo in Freeside. Karma is hard earned/lost.
>The map just felt worse than 3s as well
I guess this is just down to personal taste, I hear a lot of people complaining about 'muh desert' but FO3's landscape's only difference from NV, besides the waterfront and DC, was that it had more dead trees spotted through. DC was nice but there was so little to actually do. You go to a ruin, or a metro tunnel, clear out Super Mutants/Ghouls, find some arbitrary reward placed there. It's all style with no substance where as every square mile in NV by comparison is overloaded with things to do (I STILL miss quests that I have to find on replays, the number of things to do in New Vegas are vast and each replay I find something new).

To the OP

Play 1

Play 2

Play Tactics

That's all you need out of the series

And fuck the Tactics haters. Tactics had a good amount of lore in it for the Fallout universe

All true but where Fallout 1 lacks in length it more than makes up in enjoyment, story-telling, world building ETC.

Fuck, Majora's Mask is a great deal shorter than OoT but it's still the better isn't it?

If you think Fallout 2 is better than the first one, you're probably dumb enough to enjoy Skyrim and Fallout 4 also as the quality of content is obviously not important for you

Dumb has nothing to do with it. Fallout 2 is overall better than the first one. It's longer, has more flexibility in gameplay options, more guns, more things to do and on top of that, it's significantly more challenging.

Play Fallout 1 first senpai.
It has the best atmosphere of all Fallout games, and its really short (6-8 hours if you're not rushing)
Fallout 2 is basically same shit but on steroids (MOAR TOWNS, MOAR QUESTS etc), as a result the storyline is much less focused and kinda sucks. Fal2 is best thought of as a sandbox with large roleplaying possibilties

I've played the first and second game so many times that I remember where I'm supposed to go to next and for that reason have mostly cruise controlled through different areas. I'm not even certain who should I talk to if I wanted to play it legit and wanted to know where to go next and how to advance the general story.

You can finish F1 in like 8-10 hours of casual play. F2 has metric ton more content, easily 20+ hours, although of some of it of arguable quality. Basically more of the same if you liked 1. Alot of "memes" if you're into 80s and 90s movie and culture.

Objectively untrue, the first moment you step into Shady Sands there's plenty to do.
>Time limit annoying as hell
You have to be borderline incompetent to not be able to find Necropolis in 150 days (an expandable limit, mind you, if you do the water quest in the Hub), and borderline INSANE not to be able to kill the Master and Lieutenant in 500. The latter, especially, is extremely generous, I had everything you can possibly do in the game before 300. The only use I could see for using up that much time is if you really want to grind with the Crimson Caravan.

What's the correct progression for Fallout 2? I always play with the Restored content mod and I always do all the quests up north and then Broken Hills and Redding and at this point I always get my shit pushed by the Ayyliums. Are you supposed to return after SanFran or what?
>>
>>342129203
Yeah I don't even try at this point anymore. Wanamingos are crazy as hell and I don't even try that shit until I atleast "clear" New Reno, but everytime it triggers my autism that I leave a quest hub unfinished.

Serves you right. I don't mind gender specific content but besides the option of solving some quests by sleeping with people, but there is really no female-only questline.

>>342116162
Honestly, New Vegas is my favourite because the other games just feel so empty. 3's world is paper-thin and its story is shit, and I struggled to find any quests that were actually interesting in both 1 and 2.

Huh. Well that's kind of a shame, I sort of liked the duality of the Water Caravan's option (If you take them, you get 250 days to find the water chip, but only 400 to take down the Master since the increased caravan traffic makes your Vault easier to find for the Mutants)

Fallout 2 is bigger and better, but the issues inherited from Fallout 1 stick out more.

The dogshit inventory, town exploration and questing management are fine in 1, but become tiresome in 2 due to the extra length.

play fallout 1, its actually pretty short and simple. a great way to get into the story of the universe

then, play fallout 2, its 50 time longer than fallout 1 and a little less serious (but still way more than 3-4)

personally i like fallout 2 more but both are great game

F1 for an immersive experience with an atmospheric, dark, but concise representation of post apocalypse

F2 for a wacky comfy adventure in the Fallout universe

A lot of people were butthurt with the new direction the series has taken in 2 but after 9 gazillion bugfixes it eventually became playable. For better or worse, Fallout 2 has become the main influence of every further sequel, and the franchise now has little to do with the original Fallout anymore. However some people will say Dead Money (NV DLC) contains some of the original's spark.

You wake up in the desert after getting shot in the head. You have no memory but somehow lived and the old ass guy that found you wants you to help his neighbor because he saved you, and then I returned that piece of shit because what an original and engaging story.

Oh it's so good and the combat is better than 3 even though they managed to fuck it up worse than a downy bagger at big Bear. Fucking /v/ the God damn retards of anything video games.
