Fallout: A retro review [Player Attack]

Jimmy the Geek writes:
If, by some chance you and I have been living under the same rock and you know as little about Fallout as I do, it’s a post-apocalyptic RPG set in the aftermath of a massive nuclear war. Humanity has been saved by dwelling in large, secure vaults. You play as one of these (highly customizable stats-wise) “Vault Dwellers” (at least you do in the first game, I assume the rest of the games follow suit). The first game was released in 1997, and here we are, nearly 20 years later, and it still has a huge fan following with the fourth installment in the series released at time of writing to a massive positive response.

Still remains one of my most beloved games of all time, and only superseded by its fine-tuned successor, Fallout 2. I will admit that upon first play in '97, I was less than impressed by the slow-pacing of the combat and the stiff difficulty. I revisited the game a year later after having gained massive interest in turn-based RPGs following an incredible experience I found in another legendary game called Final Fantasy VII. This time, there was an immediate attraction and fascination in Fallout, and one that legitimately shaped me and my passion for gaming. Of course, at the time I began Fallout, Fallout 2 had recently released... and so immediately following my completion of F1, I dove right back into the irradiated Nevada wasteland in search of the Garden of Eden Creation Kit, otherwise referred to as the G.E.C.K. in F2. I've been hooked ever since, and oddly enough, I tend to revisit F2 every few years - a game which still holds up on a variety of levels (not graphically, of course), but in nearly every other aspect - and still find myself losing track of the time and obsessing about it just as I did in my teens; And in my opinion, the only true measure of a game worthy of its legendary status.

Damn it, definitely installing fallout 1

Eidolon3074d ago

Get this( and Fallout 2) on Vita please please Sony and Bethesda, some how.

The game has aged pretty well actually. The only thing that kinda sucks is that you have to hurry up and get a waterchip in the beginning.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave1d 6h ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto1d 5h ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno1d 5h ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot13d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot0712d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH12d ago

Friendlygamer11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

McFarlaneToys Reveals Fallout Series Figure

Here is a look at the pending figures for the pending series.

Sciurus_vulgaris49d ago

I preordered the 7 inch Brotherhood of Steel member named Maximus because I love T-60 power armour. However, which McFarlane had went with 7 inch Power Armour figures and 6 inch scale human figures that were poseable.

Garethvk48d ago

They are all good choices but if the show is good; we will likely see a ton of stuff soon.

Sciurus_vulgaris48d ago

I want Macflarane to a do a Fallout Line comparable to what they are doing with 40k. I collect figures, I would love to have some 6-7 inch scale T-60, T-45 and T-51 to display in my living room.

Garethvk48d ago

Variety is good and I am curious if the show is a hit as we expect; will Bethesda take advantage and announce a new game or just keep updating F76?

Sciurus_vulgaris47d ago

I think a new Fallout game would have to developed outside of Bethesda. Obsidian would be a good candidate to develop a new Fallout, but that studio has its own projects underway.
