Guys, I'm thinking of trying out the Fallout series for the first time. Should I start with 3 or 4?
I went from 4 to 3.
I enjoyed 3 more and NV is trash.
4 looks a lot better, but I've heard 3 has way better atmosphere.
>>342506354
+(You)
>>342506090
Start with New Vegas
>>342506354 (You)
NV + mods > 3 + mods >>> 4
>>342506090
New Vegas
you should definitly start with 4
>>342507580
>>342507807
I want to start with an official game, not a spinoff by another studio.
Neither, New Vegas is the only good one.
Unless you have some sort of serious brain problem, then you'll probably think New Vegas is trash or something. But I'm sure your brain works fine.
>no one suggests to start with a real Fallout
I hate neo-/v/
>>342506090
Just play 3 and new Vegas with mods and if you really enjoyed it try 4, it's hit or miss for most fallout fans
>>342508016
Technically, 3 and 4 are the spinoffs, as they were developed by an entirely different team than 1 and 2 and take place on the other end of the US. New Vegas reunited many Black Isle Studios alumni and continues the story of the western wasteland.
>>342508016
Are you fucking retarded holy fuck.
>>342506090
>>342508016
New Vegas is an official game
Even still, play Fallout 1 or 2
2 > NV > 1 > 3 >>> 4
>>342508016
This is hilarious because if anything East Coast Fallouts are spinoffs. But definitely start with 3 if only to appreciate how much better 4 plays and how much worse Bethesda is gradually getting at writing.
2> 1 > New Vegas > 4 > 3 > Shelter. But only because I enjoy the tactics genre more than FPS.
>>342506090
You should start with a gun in your head and pull the trigger.
>>342506090
F3>F:NV>F1>F2>F4 in that order.
>>342508016
If you want an RPG set in the apocalypse with shooter elements, get NV. If you want an apocalypse-themed FPS/TPS, get 4.
>>342508016
wait until he finds out
pfffhahhaha
>>342508389
>F3
>better than anything other than 4
wew lad
People who direct you to Fallout 4 are dumb as fuck and likely unacademic people.
Go for Fallout: New Vegas. It is the latest actual Fallout. Fallout 4 is dumbed down casual shit with terrible writing.
>>342506090
That certainly is a pickle. I recommend neither.
Start with fallout 3, then to New Vegas, cause you can see how much of a better game NV is. Dont play 4, its shit
This is now a New Vegas thread
Alright fellas, what is the best faction and why is itBoomers
>>342508541
I mean in what order for him to play through. As sucky as F3 is it's a good entry to Fallout series.
>>342508016
Hahahaha
>>342508583
>and likely unacademic people
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
>>342506090
NV if you want an open world RPG, 4 if you want an open world shooter
3 is trash in both regards, don't bother
>>342508778
It really isnt
It completely bastardizes every major story element in 1 and 2
If he should start with anything, its 2 or NV
1 was absolutely brilliant game. 2 was bit meh, they just recycled and copied everything to have larger but uninspiring world. 3 and stuff after that are garbage (with possible exception of new vegas)
>>342506090
3 is unplayable by now
Start with fallout 3, then go to 4. Bethesda, whether /v/ wants to believe it or not, actually makes good fallout games. Better story, better writing, locations, and they follow the lore. Dont play New Vegas, its a boring dessert simulator that doesnt follow lore at all, and has pretty much no quests. Trust me, ive been playing fallout for over 4 years now
FALLOUT > YOUR MOMS GAAAAAAP > FALLOUT 2 > FALLOUT NV > FALLOUT 4 > FALLOUT 3
>>342506090
Don't start with either. Start with New Vegas Ultimate Edition. (PS: Look up how to prevent it from crashing.)
>>342509215
this
>>342509215
OP don't listen to this nerd 3 is trash, play 4 you'll enjoy it
FO1 = FO2 = FNV >>> Fallout 4 ≥ Fallout 3
This is FACT. Don't even try to dispute it.
>>342509286
>>342509423
>3 below 4I agree
>>342509423
I liked 3 more just cause of the world but i pretty much agree
>>342508184

taste
3 has shitty gunplay but nifty shit scattered all over the map and despite the metro tunnel bullshit, it's got fun exploration
4 has better gunplay but any semblance of rpg elements have been dumbed down to the point of no return and even though it looks pretty, it's not as fun to fuck around in since the world is kind of stale and the settlement building isn't enough to make up for that.
>>342509423

Confirmed bait thread, abandon
>>342508016
You realize Obsidian are the original Fallout creators, right?
Start with 3 by all means, you'll only appreciate New Vegas even more. Unless you are underage. When I first played NV I hated it, I was too young to appreciate it.
>>342509701
Messing around in the world in 4 is more fun imho, better gameplay means you dont loathe it when you have to deal with enemies and most places are waaaaaaaay better than fo3
>everyone ITT shitting on FO3
I guess all those positive reviews back when it was released were all just lying, amirite? There's a grand conspiracy, everybody! Literally everyone called it one of the best RPGs on the PC back in 2008, but they're all wrong because muh taste > their taste.
>>342510307

>>342510307
>trusting dumb jewish reviewers
Fallout 3 is pretty shitty. I haven't played much of Fallout 4 but within the 90 minutes I played I got to fight off a Deathclaw or two with a minigun and power armor. Didn't even have to be trained in how to operate it.
>>342510307
>Look at this abstract number! I win ; >)

>>342510546
Plenty of Fallout 1&2 fans loved 3.
>>342510307
yea go ahead and play the game then read those reviews and laugh your fucking ass off
Fallout 3 is one of the worst AAA video game ever. It is objectively a bad game in all aspects.
I started with New Vegas
I regret this choice as neither 3 nor 4 are anywhere near as good
>>342511105
Fuck off back to /pol/
>>342511129
Have you ever being to a classic fallouts forum ?
>>342511164
>It is objectively a bad game
Love this meme.
>>342508290
>getting
Bethesda was literally never ever good at writing except when Kirkbride was working for them full-time on Morrowind and essentially laid down the foundations of what TES would be. He's a bit of a meme person these days, but you can't deny he was crucial for Bethesda.
>>342506090
There's two time lines.
Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout New Vegas.
Then there is the other option:
Fallout 3 (First Fallout game by Bethesda not related to the other ones) and then Fallout 4.
If you are not interested in the originals and are in it just for the Bethesda games go with Fallout 3 and then 4.
Personally, I think new Vegas is the best.
>>342511365
It is a bad game in every aspect
It tries to be an RPG and it fails
It tries to be a shooter and fails
It tries to be convey F1/2's humour and fails
It tries to go almost full WaaaAAAaaAaAAaCKY 50's and fails
It tries to have a touching story and fails
It tries to have likeable characters and fails
>>342510307
Context is important, anon. Which is why you should READ those reviews and not just look at scores.
>>342511359
No, but I knew Fallout fans back then who loved it. Spoony also gave it a positive review back in 2008, and he was a Fallout fan.
How long does it take to adjust to 1 and 2s crap factor?
>>342506090
either play 1, 2, or New Vegas
>>342511754
Tactics got way too much shit because people got disappointed it wasn't proper F3. How little did they know what future was bringing.
>>342511815
No Mutants allowed and pretty much all of /v/ hate it for trying to be it own thing AND a fallout game at the same time
>>342511689
>It tries to be an RPG and it fails
How so?

You can't just make assertions, assertions are not arguments.
>>342506090
>Guys, I'm thinking of trying out the Fallout series for the first time. Should I start at the end of the series?
Are you retarded? "start" means you start at the fucking beginning you mouthbreathing faggot. If you just wanted to play the best then ask for it instead of this nonsense.

>"start" means you start at the fucking beginning you mouthbreathing faggot
Because your first Final Fantasy was the first, and your first Mario game was the first, right?
Just go, please, can you just go? Your dumbery is giving me a headache.
Start with Fallout 1 and 2, build good characters and enjoy those worldsso that you can be disappointed by everything after except MAYBE New Vegas
>>342511689
more importantly it tries to be a Fallout game and fails spectacularly
>>342512352

>>342512045
>RPG
Every character ends up the same, not that your choices while leveling matter
>shooter
I don't play a lot of shooters so I can't comment on this one
>humor
Bethesda does not understand subtlety. Their humor is right on the nose, no layer, nothing beyond "hahah he said FUCK". I'm not saying F1 and F2 are pinnacles of subtlety and humor, so don't even try to take that extreme with me like I know you want to. I'm saying they had varied humor that wasn't complete bullshit 100% of the time.
>wacky 50s
Did you play the game? There's a fucking 50s era masturbatory giant robot to crush the communists.
>touching story and fails
You talk to your dad twice before the game is over, and the choice at the end of the game doesn't matter. They traded story (you, your dad, the water chip) for more waaacky locations
>likable characters
no. fuck off. nobody in that game was worth listening to, I'll bet they let 17 year old girls write every single characters dialogue and personality.
>>342512536
>implying Mario has a coherent story/setting that needs to be kept in to account for future titles
>>342512536
+(you)
>>342506090
If you don't like turn based games go 4>3>NV, from worst to best so you can enjoy them to the fullest.
Else go 1>2 since those are equally good in my opnion. Might try tactics but it has some canon issues.
>>342512045
>>It tries to be an RPG and it fails
It's extremely simplistic when compare to the originals, or NV for that matter
>>Shooter and fails
It's clunky and impractical as all hell, NV smoothed it up a bit with weapon modifications, ironsights and tweaked VATS
>Tries to convey humour and fails
Compare Random encounters from F2 and the easter eggs in F1 to those in 3, they literally just typed fuck you behind a door and called it a day
>50's theme
That's pretty obvious tbqh, F1 does the same thing but it's forgivable as the main theme was just developping, F2 and again, NV perfected it
>Touching
It has more holes than swiss cheese
>Characters
Literally the only characters in this fucking game that feels human are decaying ghouls that are in constant agony, and only 2 of them even
>>342512719
Because someone said something wrong or controversial doesn't mean everything he'll say will be wrong

>>342512490
It's a shitty tutorial, mate. It's one of the reasons why I go back to playing FO1 so much more often than FO2, because I think "Oh yeah the tutorial, fuck that!" In FO1 you're just dropped in a cave and you're free to wander the wastes from there.

Atleast a cuck britbong has arguments to back up his claims, do you :^) ?
>>342513427
Those arguments aren't gonna fix his teeth tho
>>342510307
but its got a lower user score than New Vegas

A fucking 'cuck and proud' britbong is more intelligent and rational than your average bethesdrone

>>342506090
I would go
3 -> NV -> 4
NV had the best DLC IMHO
>>342513707
>believing in user scores
A ton of those accounts are just made by angry nerds for the soul purpose of giving it a low rating. User scores are by no means more reliable than scores from actual professional critics.
>>342513707
DELETE THISI really really like New Vegas
>>342514012
and there's no way "professional critics" are colluding with developers to give good reviews?
>>342514012
>User scores are by no means more reliable than scores from actual professional critics.
The same critics that give CODs 10s and 9s, seriously, the only merit of beshitdsa games is the writing, which is completely fucked and giga contradictory

>>342514003
>What is the Pitt?
That one dlc is better than anything NV had. Fuck off autist.
Play 3 and then NV and then 4. And like them all because you're capable of enjoying different things.
>>342513707
>NV was one point away from Obsidian getting a bonus
I hope people are also aware Bethesda handled QA for the game and that was why NV got lambasted so badly at launch.
>>342514217
Do you have any proof to back up your conspiracy theory?

Correlation is not causation. It's like arguing that blacks are arrested more because their race compels them to do more crime, instead of it being caused by their socioeconomic background and bad upbringing. You're looking at the world in a far too simplistic manner.
>>342513118
This is the only true answer here.
OP the real answer is to start with the worst and work your way up
Fallout 4
Skyrim
Fallout 3
New Vegas
NV was 'challenging' at first in the sense that there's more to it than just exploration and personal roleplaying, there's a bunch of meme-tastic wasteland faggots to talk to
but if you can get invested its a better experience because there's a sense of place and history
>>342514868
Except this is very simple - if you get on the publishers bad side, you go out of business. Keep in mind they're under NO obligation to send reviewer copies to anyone and there's more than enough other outlets that will cover their games.
>>342515007
oh the other advantage of this order, is that if you're an underage cawadoody faggot you get the only game that is relevant to your interests first

>>342515157
They also handled the bugtesting, with 4 testers. Compared to I believe 10 or 15 testers for 3.
>>342514565
It's not like Bethesda gives a fuck about Fallout in the first place and they just decided to re-skin TES formula. In fact, signs Bethesda was an utterly poor fit for Fallout was there from the get-go.
>franchise known for its choices and consequences and great writing

Dont play New Vegas, its boring. Play actual fun games, like 3 and 4. Also dont play 1 and 2, first off theyre not even first person so thats shitty and they arent true fallout games so dont play those either
>>342506090
Start with 3, then 4, then new vegas.
Fallout 4 is a near perfect game.
>>342506090
start with 1 and 2, and then New Vegas

>>342509553

>>342517147
I don't think Fallout BoS has been mentioned yet
>>342517147
>all these people saying 3 > 4
4 is objectively superior to 3 (disregarding 1 and 2 and leltactics)
NV > 4 > 3
>>342517581
objectively correct
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> NV
4 is shit and not worth playing. It'd be like if you were playing Dark Souls and then played Skyrim after. Some things are similar but you'll still be distracted by how fucking garbage and different it is compared to what you played before.
FO3 is alright, though. Kinda odd his Bethesda regressed in quality between those two.
>>342517508
>BoS
>bad
Come on now.
>>342517508
>>342517581
I don't care which came anyone is claiming is the worst. If the game I thought was the worst in this series was the first I played I would completely write off the fucking series.
Don't do this to the OP.
>>342518071
>4 is shit and not worth playing
But 3 is? What the hell
>>342508016
3 is the spin off, NV is as fallout as 1 and 2 were.
>>342519607
because that makes sense
>>342519607
Extremely accurate
desu he should play the more shittier Fallouts first to truly experience how much better Fallout NV is compared to the Bethesda Fallouts.
>>342520716
But that'll very probably burn him out
>>342511754
>>342521914
If he keeps a closed mind about the games then most likely, but if he expects the Bethesda Fallouts to be bad I can't really foresee it, Unless hes a poorfag.

He actually gave a lot of fuckin' praise to the game. Like, several paragraphs worth of shit he liked about it.
3. (1 or 2 if you dare - dated but they are the best)
4 is just a FPS with a Fallout name. it's not actually a Fallout game.

>I did enjoy both Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I know that surprised some of my fans, who wanted me to hate the games and rail against their design choices (which I have repeatedly pointed out were different than the ones I would have made), but there is no arguing that more people enjoy the modern versions of the franchise than the older ones.
>If I were to compare the two games, I would say that Fallout New Vegas felt like it captured the humor and style of the Fallout universe better than Fallout 3, but I have to hand it to the FO3 designers for developing VATS, a cool twist on called shots for a real-time game. I also loved the set decoration FO3. There was so much destruction, yet obviously everything had been meticulously hand-placed. So much story was told entirely through art. I ended up naming these little art vignettes and creating side stories in my head about what had happened. There was "The Suicide", a dead guy in a bathtub with a shotgun, and I figured he just couldn't handle life after the bombs. There was "Eternal Love", a couple of skeletons in a bed in a hotel room, forever embracing each other. There was "My Last Mistake", the corpse in the temporary one-man fallout shelter which obviously didn't do its job of keeping out the heat and radiation. My favorite was "Desperate Gamble", where I found a feral ghoul in an underground shelter filled with lab supplies and lots of drugs... except for Rad-X. I imagined that a scientist found himself irradiated and desperately tried to synthesize some Rad-X to cure himself before he succumbed, but he was too slow. I did notice that whatever was left of his mind sure did seem to enjoy toilet plungers.

>If I had to pick something I didn't like about FO3, I would pick its ending. I hated the ending. There, I said it. I didn't like the sudden problem with the purifier, and I especially didn't like the lack of real, meaningful multiple endings beyond what I chose in the final few minutes (FEV or not, me or Lyons, and that was it?). But the worst thing about the ending was there was no mention of the fate of places I had visited. In my head I had already imagined slides for Megaton, the Citadel, Rivet City, Underworld, GNR, the Enclave or the mysterious Commonwealth. But I got... pretty much nothing.
>I liked FONV's ending much better. It had a nice set of slides at the end of the game. They covered everything I was wondering about. I went with Mr. House at the end... and that seemed a worse choice after the slides, but still OK. It led to a law-abiding but somewhat impersonal Vegas. I wish I didn't have to kill the BoS, but I want House to control the future, so I had to do it. It was a great morally ambiguous choice, and the decision made me pause. That's a sign of good design, right there.
Fallout 3 and 4 are the same in that they both have a fun exploration side and play decently as shooters but have no depth to them and the story and writing is shit.
Despite what the autists on /v/ who seemingly can never find their way to /vg/ where they belong, NV's story and writing is just as trash save for a few nifty side quests. However the DLC (other than dead money) is god tier and where the real story gets good. Just don't expect to find the same fun exploration aspect in the vanilla game, there's nothing but drab uninspired desert outside of NV proper.
Honestly I would probably just recommend you not bother with the franchise as a whole since it's pretty shit for an RPG, and that includes the early """"""games""""" like Fallout 1-2.

3's not too bad to start with, but I'd go with New Vegas

I wouldn't buy 1 or 2 on steam, I hear they fuck up a lot.

Dont fucking buy the piece of shit 3 is. Buy new vegas and if you want buy 4 but dont expect it to be as good
tfw want to go independent but can't bring myself to kill house

I wonder who could be behind this post.
>>342506354
(You)
>>342506090
Start with 3, anon. It's a more streamlined and simple introduction into the modern Fallout games. Then play NV and 4, in that order, if you must.
>>342508016
>>342506090
New vegas by far the best one of the new ones.

Okay, now this is bait. They don't preserve shit, they only care about themselves and muh energy weapons and power armors. The only groups worth a shit in the fallout series is the followers of the apocalypse and the ncr.
>>342528109
>the ncr

Statist scum get out
>>342527143
Good work, Paladin
I just bought New Vegas.
Any mods I should get?
>>342510307
All those people who haven't played the other games and don't know the series standards
>>342528109
The Followers are commie tier retarded naive idealists who impractically allocate resources so badly that it ultimately doesn't help mankind in the big picture. The NCR are just a greedy expansionist empire at this point running on the some false notion of democracy that doesn't even make sense. The Brotherhood are the only ones with any brains.

Dust Survival Sim
>>342528538
If you want it to look good, NMC and Ojo Bueno. Project Nevada gets rid of spongey enemies but may add some shit you don't like but you can disable those features if you want.
Absolutely necessary mods are New Vegas redesigned, NVSE, FNV4GB, NVSR, NVAC and CASM

>shiny power armor doesn't account for much when your outnumbered 15;1
I thought power armor was mean't to be a 1 man tank though, hell the power armor has it's own water purification reserves and steroid injectors. Are we going off the assumption that the NCR destroyed a fucking tank, or is the post war power armor weaker due to rust and aging factors?
>>342506090
FO1
FO2
FO:NW
Skip 3 & 4
>>342526870
>implying isolationism is bad
New Vegas then 3&4
>>342529215
Well let's be logical
You got a pre-war electricity center full of traps and killer robots and dozens of walking tanks with high tech laser and plasma weaponry, the NCR isn't that dumb to only send basic troops, they probably sent Rangers and high ranking officers
Plus armor piercing bullets do wonders
>>342528109
>ncr is somehow better then the brotherhood
Yep I sure love neo nazi slaves thinking they are saving the wastes instead of fucking dooming it. They can barely hold a dam and treat prisoners like they are the scum of the earth, hell the NCR is so useless they almost lost a damn to a bunch of guys dressed up as romans and can't even take new vegas from a power gimped skeleton.Powder gangers for life nigger
>>342529751
>neo nazi slaves
wut
>People claiming 4 is better than 3
You would have a point with New Vegas, even if I think its overrated.
But fucking 3? Are you squidding me? 3 is all the problems of 4, but without the good gunplay.
>>342530598
>implying your not a slave to the man
So I played Fallout:NV and was wondering if I should get 3 or 4 , Would I be disappointed ? I liked new Vegas a lot
>>342531929
But what is a man?
>>342513118
This OP. Don't be a faggot and play the first 2 games.
>>342531980
Yes, but they're alright time wasters in their own right.
If you do get 3, look into getting tale of two wastelands as well.
>>342531980
You will be disappointed with both
4 is a boring casual shooter
3 is shit
>>342506090
Start with 3 then 4. Don't bother with 1, 2 and NV. This reply will get hate because most of /v/ bows down and sucks obsidian/black isle's dick.
>>342531980
If you're up for a change of game-style I would recommend 1 and then 2 over EITHER 3 or 4, they're better RPG's by a wide margin but they're a completely different style from NV. They're very much worth playing but it might not be what you're looking for.
Between 3 and 4, it's a difficult choice because they each have specific flaws but I would say I preferred 4 over 3: you don't get nearly as much choice in making your character how you want (it forces a backstory on you and skills are completely out the door) but I do think its story is better than 3's and at least tries to be a little more creative: 3 cribs hard on nostalgia.
>>342532694
>because most of /v/ bows down and sucks obsidian/black isle's dick.
For good reason
Tried hard to get into 4, but I gave up after 3 hours, should I give up and try it again? I do need something else to play
>342532694
Here have half a (You)
>>342532956
>should I give up and try it again?
It doesn't get any better, but go nuts
>>342511754
>Lumping Tactics with the console trash
Tactics wasn't bad at all. If it wasn't for the linear mission-driven story and the fact you couldn't do as much as in the first two games then it would've been a really darn good Fallout game...and it is, though not as much as it could be.
>>342523845
Well the player in Tactics can be an asshole or much less of an asshole.
>>342532745
Thanks , I think I will start with 1 and 2
should I play them in that order , or it doesn't matter ?
>>342533804
1 and then 2, in that order. 1 is comparitively a short game, should only take you around 10-15 hours max, I believe, but it's important to play it first because 2 builds off a lot of it. It's such a great, in-depth playthrough for a short game, though, there's a lot of variety in how you can go about solutions for your problems.
2 will be much longer at 30-40 hours +
>>342511129
At the time. When it came out we were excited just to have more Fallout. Then New Vegas came along and showed us just how lazy Bethesda were with 3 by giving us good writing, better gameplay than 3 and the Western setting of the originals with some returning characters.
>>342506090
Start with 1. I did since it was the first and only FALLOUT game available.
1, 2, Tactics, 3, New Vegas, 4.
>>342508290

Man, fuck Bethesda.
>>342506090

Pick your poison.
Also, get Tale of 2 Wastelands and play FO3 within New Vegas

Shooting you mean, and shooting is not even that great

you're deeply mistaken lad, only NV has RP potential

Even putting shitstains like 2 and NV in the same picture as the masterpiece that is Fallout 1 is a worse crime than the holocaust.
