/vr/ - Retro Games

Fallout and Fallout 2 are one of the best games ever and I'm kinda surprised about people saying they didn't age well or that they have poor mechanics. The games have great setting and art style that doesn't get old and looks just as good today as it did when they came out. Comparing the graphics to the new Wasteland 2, I'd take Fallouts any day. I first played them around 2000 and I really recommend you to read the manual before playing (it's written as a guide to the world and it's really funny, worth reading), otherwise you'll be a bit lost in mechanics, which are great when you familiarize yourself with them. I liked the original Fallout better than the sequel, mainly because of the great story and the ending. Fallout 2 ads some cool things like a car and party members. The original is definitely more memorable.

Fallout Tactics did stupid things like add guns that didn't exist at that period and overall things that don't fit the setting. I still liked it but without the exploration and quests, it wasn't very motivated to keep playing. Tried to play it twice and both times I quit 1/3rd into it. I'll give it another try eventually.

I haven't played Fallout 4 or New Vegas yet but from what I've seen they can't stand up to originals.
