thread full of people saying Fallout 1 is better than Fallout 2
@ashinadash@hexbear.net cracks a smile
There were three Fallout games, right? There was also some weird alpha version of New Vegas set in Washington DC for some reason, but it was kinda boring. Then some silly spinoff games with like multiplayer and base building or something. Who ever played those?

Yes, the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions of Fallout: New Vegas (2010).

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009)

Minecraft (2011) 
Absolutely brutal. I’ve watched better gamers do walkthroughs.
If I never made it past the first room does it still count?
Every time I tried 2 my experience was 10 mins of: Imma go fight these ants. damn these ants got hands
The trick is to gtfo of town after completing the awful tutorial, beeline to the bottom of the world map until you start encountering people in purple robes fighting against people without purple robes, scavenge the loot from the dead, and sell everything to the vendor at the nearest town. I think one of the vendors sells power armor lol. Do this until you have enough equipment then you can begin last-hitting the survivors for xp. Farm off the survivors until you feel you are strong enough. With this cheese, you basically walk out of it with power armor and various late-game weapons on top of being overleveled.
2 has a fucking awful awful intro
Yeah I needed a walkthrough to get past the second town and the rest of the game in 2
First playthrough: go to the town nearby. Random encounter with some crazed robot that kills me, so I have to do the tutorial all over again. Put it down for years after that.
This is what happened to me in fnv and then I sold the console
Explain this to me right fucking now
this is the original picture 
Lot of Fallout "fans" never played the classics
Myself, I've played every single Fallout games
Even the ones that aren't good
Especially the ones that aren't good
Is it worth learning the retro style of the earlier games?
I'd say so
It's a little clunky and being directly inspired by Wasteland means it's deliberately antagonistic towards the player sometimes (don't pick Big Guns or Energy Weapons as a tag skill, put some points into them later)
But they're fondly remembered for a reason
They're good
First time I played 2 my tag skills were Energy Weapons, Science, and Repair
The Temple of Trials was not a good time
idk shit about fallout but that is almost exactly the list of weak skills in system shock 2 as well, what a weird coincidence
I played it recently using the mod Fallout Et Tu which is a nifty QOL mod which I can recommend even new players try, that virtually recreates the first game in the second games engine, which fixes a lot of the problems one might have with Fallout 1, like for instance without the mod if a companion or NPC box you into a corner you might just have to load a save if they don't move.
yes, but i'd recommend following a walkthrough if you stop having fun
they are older games that came out exclusively on PC in the 90s, so most fans of the series haven't played them, even though they're arguably better than the more popular sequels, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, which released on home consoles.
Yes I played them, yes I used a trainer to be level 8000 with four trillion HP, yes I beat every enemy to death with my bare fists, this is peak fallout gaming.
Fallout of the North Star
Kicking a guy and he slides off the map. Punching another guy and his body explodes. I did this as a kid.
Also finished Arcanum this way. Still a lot of fun being basically a divine being effortlessly solving every problem.
The best thing in Arcanum was finishing certain plot quests that gave you a "fate point" or whatever. This fate point could then be used to get a critical success on one attempt at something. So then you'd go up to the Bad Boss Guy, use the point for a crit to pickpocket his armour off of him, put it on yourself, then fight him as he's standing in his underwear
Fallout 2 is fulla proto-reddit humour imho. And the reason most people who've played glom onto Frank Horrigan, or Vault City, or infiltrating Navarro Oil Rig is if they tried to think too hard about some of the other bits, their overburdened cringe receptors would explode.
Go on, make me re-enact a scene from Monty Python again, see what happens fucker.
Im anti Fallout 2 gang as well. The Golden Path is knowing only Fallout 1 and New Vegas are good
Tactics has its moments, but can hardly be called good
that was my introduction to the franchise and let me say how dare you
I am a poser and havent played it
yep fallout two is filled with nonsense meta jokes and unnecessary gory and sexual humor and scenarios.
Umm actually it's one of the earliest games where you can get gay married, bet you feel dumb for calling it reddit and cringe now 
spoiler
Please don't look up the particular as to how that happens
Having played them recently I think Fallout 1 is better than 2. It's the right balance of cringe and much tighter story wise.
Fresh out of Monty Python scenes, at the moment.
Good post.
