just finished my first run of this. what a game. it took me a long time to get into it, get used to its obsolete controls etc. but the payoff is great. also once you get hardened power armor and turbo plasma rifle the game becomes easier than solitaire.
also, the game seemed to have got really dark by the end, didn't it?
is fallout 2 nearly half as good as this shit?

>is fallout 2 nearly half as good as this shit?
Fallout 2 is twice as good, don't listen to nostalgiafags saying it's shit because "le pop culture references"

I don't mind popculture references, my only gripe with fallout is that it could use a little bit of humor

Then you should definitely play Fallout 2

I've tried playing it on and off for 2 hours total now, I'm really struggling to enjoy it and dropped it not long ago
I turned attack speed up, toggled on always run, even made a character with Gifted and all the easy mode stats etc
went East, got to a village and spoke to everybody, some guy wanted 100 caps which I didn't have and I supposedly had to find a rope (something I heard outside the game), nobody seemed to have a rope or a quest for me there, eventually got bored and stopped playing
especially can't stand the inventory screen or UI, combat took me a while to understand but I still don't enjoy it

do I need to give it more time than that, or will I never have fun? I don't see the fuss

I know Fallout 4 gets a lot of shit. But years after release is it worth the 14.99?

i hope you enjoy literally every sidequest in the game being a quirky meme.

no, dont go anywhere near that garbage

>is fo2 half as good
definitely. i liked 1 more, but 2 is worthy sequel. go and play it, and then replay 1, and then replay 2, those games have so much to offer on next playthroughs

This. Next playthrough, go low INT, trust me.

fallout 2 is 1 but twice as big. it can either be a good thing or a bad one depending on how you liked 1. just get the car as fast as you can. you dont want to walk everywhere.

yeah you really need to give it time to suck you in. it's a really oldschool game in the sense that it doesn't force all sorts of information possible right in your face, the first couple of hours you have to kinda force yourself to investigate everything, pay attention to little bits of information here and there and just make yourself keep going. for me the point where I almost dropped the game was the Hub, I was overwhelmed with all the stuff that was going on there and I felt I don't want to deal with any of this but after that it just kinda clicked

Just waiting for that one fag who always get really defensive/aggressive for no reason in fallout 1/2 threads and types in all caps. You know who you are.

P-please *cough* *cough* buy my game... I'ts all I ask of you

you can pirate it for fuck sake. why buy it?

>ps4 user
>pc not strong enough to run it

you can't even fix it with good mods, why bother
also post more irl asuka

IRL asuka is best asuka

Well since im grasping for straws. What are some cheap/ free PS4 games.

Fallout 1 is second best RPG after Planescape Torment.

I actually wanted to give toment a go after I'm done with old fallouts. what's so good about it that everyone praises it so much?

>it's a really old school game
you're fucking dumb as shit, it's an entry level crpg, just read the fucking manual

great writing, setting, plot, soundtrack, visuals, companions, c&c and roleplaying potential (of course)
it's excellent, often times funny too

will I like it if I'm not big on conventional fantasy?

Except it's not sure the tone is a little more light-hearted compared to Fallout 1 but the circumstances for saving your people are still relatively the same in tone

Both of the Metro Reduxes are amazing and most of the time they go on sale for retarded cheap I remember getting last Light Redux on sale for $5 then two months later the combination of last Light and Redux went on sale for $3 on the PS quadruple

also, I'd recommend the enhanced edition, it adds some helpful features such as shift to see all interactable objects in the environment, and zoom which is a nice touch
comes with all the fan bug fixes and everything, Chris Avellone went over every single one personally and chose which ones to fix or keep if they were intentional design choices, and he fixed up some errors and such in the writing, even says it's the definitive version of the game

dump stats in WIS CHA and INT

I should think so, it's a very 'alien' setting and unlike many others, no Elves, Halflings and Dwarves
the game is specifically designed to be unconventional, you don't start or play with a name, you set someone else to do a fetch quest, dying is fundamentally different than in other games
trying to find an interview but I can't find it, gimme a minute

neato

some spoilers in here but it demonstrates how it doesn't use typical RPG clichés

I prefer FO1 to FO2. I feel like FO1 is a nice condensed experience, whereas FO2 feels long-winded, with terribly slow pacing near the start.
