challenge: play this shit in the dark, alone
...although vault 81 was nice after they accept you
actually this is my first Fallout game, but I hear 3 was crap - should I bother playing the others after playing 4?

Is this a joke?
>>323221646
No, I've only ever played 4
>>323221285
>ctually this is my first Fallout game, but I hear 3 was crap - should I bother playing the others after playing 4?
Not sure if B8 or under age
>>323221285
Play 3 nigger it's good.Better than NV even.
Hell play the original two as well, if you want to appreciate the series all the way. I did.
>>323221285
Seriously? Fallout scares you?
>>323221285
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
literally all the vaults are occupied by gunners...
nothing scary about mercenaries
>>323223051
No, I've been around since Pac-Man, I turn 41 next month
>>323223468
Kinda hard to get around the graphics but as long as the stories are good - what is the combat like on those isometric versions?
New Vegas is the only good Bethesda Fallout game, 4 is at least passable. The only thing 3 did right was atmosphere and some cool architecture. 1 and 2 are good but not for everyone, but some don't like 2 befause it's full of pop culture reference
>>323223481
depends on the jump scares, when things come out of the ground
>>323223814
You don't know that when you first enter them. More creepy than scary.
>>323224153
It's turn based, you have a set of action points and you use them for every action you take during battle
>>323221285
The only redeeming quality of 4 is the Power Armor that makes you feel like a walking tank and that's only this. The rest is either bullshit or mediocre paste.
As bad as 3 was, it is actually better and New Vegas takes everything 3 had and makes it better.
Still you better play the older Fallouts by Interplay + Fallout Tactics.
>>323224208
New Vegas is not a Bethesda game
>>323224208
I like pop culture references IF I get them - I was around back when it came out but was probably on console more at the time. I also messed around with the Amiga 500 back in the day more than IBM PC
NV is amazing and still fairly accessible to almost anyone. Hell even my sister and gf had a blast with it. Generally avoid 3 unless you crave more Fallout, which is understandable since there's not much else out on the market to compete against.
>>323224391
Ah, more like a strategy game like Civ or X-com in that regard with turn-based stuff
>>323224557
If you are old enough to have an Amiga then you should know most of the references (lots of Monty Python)
>>323224474
>Power Armor
I didn't wear it most of the time because it's too fucking slow
>>323224474
Tactics definitely sounds appealing - I enjoyed FF Tactics
>>323224573
That's what I've heard for the most part, that NV > 3. The recent Mad Max stuff shows a desire for this kind of post-apocalyptic stuff.
>>323224740
yep, what sold me was Shadow of the Beast, and I didn't have the color adapter at first, but even black and white was impressive as hell, because it's competition was 8 bit Mario and the NES library
>>323224557
the problem with pop culture references is that it makes games feel dated when you play them years later
>>323224526
And it's still somewhat better.
>>323224749
Dude. Really?
>>323224791
>No Fallout Tactics 2
>It was 80% finished and then scrapped
>We could've wrestled alligator men
And yeah. The only minus of Tactics was the linear plot.
If the story was more polished and expanded + made completely non-linear, then it would've been best pre-Bethesda Fallout.
>>323224749
Feels like a cheat somewhat, and the other thing is constantly having to monitor core power :P
>>323225063
I like how most people who layed tactics didn't realize it had 3 endings
>>323225062
ah good point.
>>323225063
why was it scrapped?
>>323225210
no spoilers please
>>323225430not console friendly
>>323225210
Three endings, yeah. Two of which depend on how you talked tocyborg Barnakyand one involving yourself.
But the problem is that the missions were happening one after another.
If the game had quests like in the previous Fallouts + had great interaction with NPCs, then it would've been sweet.
>>323225430
Either budget or fear that would bomb.
>>323225712
that's a terrible reason! then again, FF tactics showed it is fine on console
>>323225798
the good ending where you use your brain and bring peace to the wasteland is the hardest to get because the brains count as non hostile enemies and you lose karma for killing them
>>323225798
but I mean... 80%... all that work for nothing due to fear - you'd get SOMETHING for that work, I mean, even if you break even it isn't lost money
>>323226096
FF Tactics and FalloutTactics are different tpes of SRPGs, Fallout is realtime while FF is turn based, Turn based tactics works far better on consoles than realtime. Realtime strategy games like Red Alert and other work better on PC
>>323226581
oh I didn't realize it was realtime - ugh yeah
>>323226106
Well, nothing's easy.
>>323226217
Welcome to the monstrous world of the videogame industry.
And the guys behind the game met a sad ending.
Even Big Huge Games were mutilated after Kingdoms of Alamur: Reckoning in the same manner. At least they released the game.
>>323226646
Actually Tactics can be switched between turn-based and real-time.
>>323226705
yeah this is what I mean
and yeah I know how brutal it is, a friend of mine gets bounced around a lot even as a community manager
>>323226829
yeah but the gane was clearly desigjed around the realtime combat, considering it's easy as fuck in turn based mode
>>323226829
kinda like those Baldur's Gate type of games?
>>323227025
It never is easy. And some people don't live that long to see their dream-games come true.
>>323227135
Well even the original Fallouts are actually easy with the right stuff, perks and skills in turn-based.
>>323227139
Yeah, but minus active pause.
>>323221285
>should I bother playing the others after playing 4?
This is the new face of /v/. Fuck it, I am out. I just cant fucking take this bullshit that gaming has become. You children have fun.
