>Is Fallout 2 the greatest game ever made?
it's up there in its genre; don't make/imply meme premises here btw, you ridiculous cunt, such as "is___the greatest game ver made?", we are serious people here.

>>5646660
So what is the greatest game if it isn't Fallout 2?

>>5646661
>So what is the greatest game
no such thing exists considering the amount of genres, subgenres, platforms, time periods, etc.

>>5646665
Then by default I shall consider it Fallout 2.

>>5646668

>>5646671
It is still currently Fallout 2.

>>5646660
News flash: there are idiots who don't know what the hell they're talking about on every board. There is no exception.

>>5646627
FO2 was just memes and "lel doze fifties amirite guize". Only the first game was actually engrossing.

>>5647032
*40's, atleast when it comes to the music, it was always meant to be 40's. Until Fallout 4 came around and fucked everything that was established about Fallout's aesthetic right in the ass.

>>5646627
SPECIAL system is a broken pile of mess with half the skills not working and half of the stats being useless too, which leads to every remotely optimized character having roughly the same stats and skills.

>>5647056
I would say that that is more of an issue with the game's implementation of it rather than the system itself. Case in point Fallout of Nevada

Way better than the "sequels." New Vegas excluded.

>>5647078
Didn't play Fallout of Nevada yet, but I still figure that Throwing, First Aid, Traps, Outdoorsman, Barter, Gambling are badly implemented and it's worrisome that even melee builds are compelled to dump Strength and Endurance, or that diplomat builds often run off 1-2 Charisma.

Hey look, they have you in the game too.

>>5647119
No, because an "ridiculously overly-muscled physique" isn't even what makes any good character in the Fallout series. In fact, funny movie reference dwarf character is a ridiculously poor judge of what is overpowered.

Sure, I can put points into stats that don't even do anything just to LARP that I'm pretty (when no one comments on it) or strong (oh wow, the game lets you use your bare hands to get a single door in a remote location unstuck, what a bargain!), but that doesn't change the fact that the mechanics are broken. See also: Stormwind Fallacy.

>>5647085
Yeah, any Fallout that takes place on the East Coast seems to suck major balls.
I hated how FO4 main story was basically just taking plot points from Wasteland.

>>5646627
It's good, but Fallout 1 is considerably better

>>5647315
I liked Fallout 1, but Fallout 2 just has much more contant than the first and if you can slug through it will leave Fallout 1 in the dust in your brain.

>>5649585
All me.

>>5649563
This is your brain on Jet.

>>5649595
I was a Jet addict after the slave riots.

I managed to crash the game during the jail break a good 3-6 times before I finally said fuck it and took 2 hoots of Jet to kill that fucker.

Addict for life.

>>5649602
Metzan, Slave Riots...

I wasn't using my brain, but I learned how to use a fist that day...

>>5649623

>>5649586
Cool, now kill yourself.

>>5649652
*Haymaker to the eyes*

>>5646627
No.

>>5649659
When did *action* posting become acceptable?

>>5646661
Metal gear 2

>>5649563
>much more content
KYS

>>5646627
It's not even in top of CRPGs for me. Sluggish team combat, shit interface. Fallout 1 was better for the amount of time spent, and each next failed to deliver fully, not to speak about shitty spin ofs.

>>5646627
Its second only to Planescape: Torment. FFIII is third.
