The Featured Series is
Fallout
Fallout is awesome!
I love Fallout.
I love the Enclave from it, most of all.
I do fanart, write fanfiction about it, and it in my comics.
I help run a group called Enclave Only on deviant art. And I am in a Ghost People group on deviant art.
Yes, I like this series A LOT.
Fallout is one of my most favourite things. :)
...........................................................
Fallout is a retro futuristic, alternate history,post nuclear apocolypse, game.
The premise is, that during the 50s, the social changes that happened in our world, did'nt happen. So the world stayed the same, authorities in control.
The counter culture revolution never happened in the 60s. Nore did anything else.
Consequentially, the music never changed.
But, despite this, the world is liberal, and sexually and gender, equal. And loves it's drugs.
And it took massive leaps in technology, with awesome old school scifi robots, etc.
And nukes. Lots and lots of nukes. They love nuclear in fallout.
Eventually, there was The Great War.
The entire world got massively nuked.
And some people were in Vaults. And some stayed on the surface.
Not so safe in vaults, as you'll find out.
And the animals were mostly mutated into awesome, and scary, forms.
The result is, a nuked post apocolyptic world, with retro scifi robots, raiders, ghouls, mutants, loads of diferent groups, normal people, and vaults.
All to a awesome soundstrack of 40s and 50s songs and ambient , awesome, music.
It's awesome!
It is very important to point out, that there are real fallout games, and fakes.
As in some are the true fallout, some are rubbish.
Wasteland 1
1988
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasteland_(video_game)
http://wasteland.wikia.com/wiki/Wasteland_Wiki
The series did'nt actually start with Fallout 1.
It started with Wasteland 1. They were influenced by W1, and made Fallout 1.
A pc game from the 80s.
I hav'nt played it, but it sounds good. If I can, I'll get it.
And good news! Theres going to be Wasteland 2! I am so excited by this game! It looks absolutely amazing!
True Wasteland Game.
Fallout 1
1997
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout
Fallout 1 is a awesome game. It's very logical, and the world makes sense.
The story, not so good in parts, and the end sucks.
The game ends when time runs out. Stupid system.
You can roleplay away the start and do what you want, so it's ok.
It can end however you want it to.
It's good were it matters, in most of it.
And the vaults are posible to get round and make sense. Unlike the claustrophobic horrors in Fallout 3. They're better in Fallout: New Vegas, but still nightmarish.
Being top down, works well for vaults. Being FPS, up close and personal, means you get lost, a lot.
I know a person who worked on fallout. One of the original writers of the first Dungeons And Dragons rule books.
He's a awesome man and a good friend. He's a truely inspiring person.
True Fallout Game.
Fallout 2
1998
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_2
Fallout 2 is awesome. I just got free from gog.com, so hav'nt got far yet. But it works better than F1.
True Fallout Game.
Fallout Tactics
2001
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Tactics:_Brotherhood_of_Steel
I got this with F2 for free.
It's diferent form F1 and F2, but it's good.
True Fallout Game
Fallout: Brotherhood Of Steel
2004
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:Fallout:_Brotherhood_of_Steel
I hav'nt got this game. But I might get it.
It's a bit of a deviation from the others, I think. But I don't think it's nearly as bad as Fallout 3.
Nothing is as bad as that game.
True Fallout Game.
Fallout 3
2008
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3
This game is good at best. Terrible at worst.
Bethesda took over from Interplay, etc, and they did the usual and messed it up.
The combat is good, the basic ideas are good.The good things are The Enclave and other stuff.
The story is retardly stupid. It took the bad things from F1. But none of the good
F1, they give you multiple things to do, and it can end however you want. So there is freedom, even with the intro and ending when the time runs out.
This, they made a awesome Enclave, but they won't let you side with them properly.
The end is beyond cretinous. It was one of the most braindead ending in games, till they made the Broken Steel DLC.
The main plot is locked into this pathetic, cretinous, garbage, story. Were they force you to make your otherwise original character, try to rescue the worlds stupidest cretin.
The only highlight is helping the enclave.
You can be a total and utter bastard, and rampage round, stealing everything in sight, killing everyone, enslaving people. But then they expect you to save the world and rescue your cretinous father.
The story is free for all of it, except for the main quest.
The world is a freaking joke.
Previous games, the worlds make sense. There is no radiation in F1. 20yrs after the GW. No radiation in F2.
But F3? There is wayyy too much radiation. It's like the great was 2 years ago, not 200!
Radiation does'nt stick about that long!
There is no thought whatsosever as to why things or people would be there. Stuff is just plonked on the map, with no thought to traderoutes, or anything.
There is zero explanation for anything!
It's just doing things for the feel of it.
The game engine is a broken piece of crap and needed burning on sight. The companions are absolutely useless liabilities. One, Fawkes, crashes the game.
It's fun. It let's you do what you want. Explore, be as good or bad as you want, but it's nowere near as good as the others.
The enclave are pure awesome and the best thing in it.
The Brotherhood Of Steel are the nice here. Not jerks. Which is wrong.
The DC Lyons Pride BoS are fine. But they work best as the jerks they are in the real games.
I got this first. And once I got F:NV, I realized what the real fallout games were.
Not A True Fallout Game.
This is not a true fallout game. At all. It's a freaking mess.
It bears only cosmetic resemblance to to the real games.
I don't count this game as a fallout game. The real fallout 3 is Fallout: New Vegas
If you buy this, don't buy the basic one! For the love of your sanity, don't do it!
Buy the game Of the year one! The dlcs in it, less money to spend. And you won't have to see the brainddead ending. No one should ever see that!
And the horrific Into the Pitt dlc is not being bought, it's just there. And optional.
If you do buy it alone and get dlc later. Don't buy the Into The Pitt dlc! It is the worst dlc ever made, for any game, ever. The rest is awesome. but don't for the love of sanity, buy that dlc!
Ignore all those pretentious masochists who rave on about it! It is the worst dlc ever made, for any game, ever. It could'nt get any worse, if tried.
Don't think this is fallout. It's not. Play the others, that's real fallout.
Fallout: New Vegas
2010
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas
This game is absolutely amazing!
This is the second fallout game I got. And it is a true fallout game. Made by the people who made F1, 2, and others. Bethesda published it. But the real fallout makers made it.
And it shows, because it's amazing. It has awesome things from the older games. It makes me so happy to play fallout 2 and 1, and see things from F:NV in them.
It is like fallout 1 and 2.
The enclave are suitablely dark and awesome. It has the amazing and awesome mantis armour of the older games.
The Brotherhood Of Steel are the jerks they are meant to be. They were'nt meant to be nice. Only bethesda made them nice.
Nothing wrong with the DC BoS, but they ar'nt right.
This is one the best games ever made!
It has the best origin possible and the best origin of the games.
You are a courier, with no history. Perfect.
It is completely roleplayable.
There is infinate choices, and no playthrough will be the same.
The companions work great. And cannot die.
Apart from in the horrific and pointless, Hardcore Mode.
If you can, get the all in one, to save money.
But if you buy a basic, then get only 3 of the story dlc and the gunrunners dlc.
Because Dead Money, is one of the worst dlc ever made, ever. It is cretinous, grindingly stupid, overhard, and extremely, painfully, repetative, atrocious, and beyond painfully stupid.
The only good thing about it is, the Ghost People. Who are absolutely amazing and deserved a far better dlc to be in. The only good loot is a dress, a uniform, and the police pistol. and that's it.
Honest Hearts bears bethesdas incompetance, because they made it. In the braindead endings. But the rest of it is awesome.
Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, Honest Hearts, are awesome.
Lonesome road is not was good as the others for world. It's a pathetic mess and makes no sense.
It's a massive pain in the butt to get round.
On the good, it's set in a massive nuclear weapons silo.
Features a version of the most adorable companion in the game. Who is even more adorable.
You get to nuke who you want at the end!
On the bad.
And the villain is a collosall twat, who is so incoherant and incompetant, he can't say anything straight. He's so stupid, he could'nt order his own gun to fire.
True Fallout Game.
This is a true fallout game. Made by the people who made the real ones.
Everything about it is like the originals, down to the music, and titles. If you play this, then F1 and F2, you can see were they connect. Were the music and style is the same. They used some of the same music.
Wasteland 2
2014?
http://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/
This is going to be absolutely amazing!
I cannot wait for this game! I will buy when I can. Which won't be for years, potentially, sadly. If ever.
But still, this looks beautiful
It's a properly made game, by the makers of F1 and W1 and maybe the others. With amazing music, and a awesome and logical world.
Brian Fargo is making it! Mark Morgan is doing the music!
And it's crowd funded. So they do what they want, without some company breathing down their necks and controlling it.
This game will be amazing.
True Wasteland game
And, sadly, this is all that is left of the fallout series, for the future.
Because W2 is the only good fallout game that will be coming out.
The series as Fallout, is going to be killed by bethesda. Till they lose it and it goes back to a better owner, then, fallout is dead, as a series.
Hopefully interplay, etc, can get hold of it, again.
...............................................
Now to the bad stuff.
Sadly, bethesda own fallout now.
And are threatening to make a Fallout 4.
They are total and utter incompetants, who have nothing but contempt for the people foolish enough to buy their games now. They care only about increasingly tacky and insulting and offensive pre order bonus'.
They have gone so far as to insult the deadly serious art of Tarot, for a disgusting preorder bonus for Dishonoured!
Nothing else.
Not the games. Not the gamers. They only care about money.
They don't know what beta testing is. They don't even try to make games that work, anymore.
Skyrim is grotesquely overated , pathetic, piece of garbage.
It's all flash, nothing but flash, lies, and bullcrap. They only care about getting preorders out, never mind the games trash. So long as they get that money.
They are going to ruin fallout. They are going to drive the series into the ground.
They are going to kill fallout.
Wasteland/fallouts only hope lies with Wasteland 2.
To buy these games I would say
Wasteland 1
gog.com
Fallout 1
gog.com
Fallout 2
gog.com
Fallout tactics
gog.com
Fallout: Brotherhood Of Steel
Amazon, etc
Fallout 3
Amazon, etc.
Fallout New Vegas
Amazon, etc
Wasteland 2
Not sure, it's not out yet.
Recently, gog.com had to remove f1, f2, f:t, from thier catalogue. Not sure why.
Before this, they gave them away for free to members. Were I got them.
But if they get it them back, get them there, it's the best place.
They are completely compatable with modern pcs. Something buying a older, psyical, version may not be.
They also come with walkthroughs, guides, music, wallpapers, avatars, all sorts of awesome stuff!
And sometimes they have free games.
If you see them for free get them!
Don't be put off by the age. The older games are awesome and unique. Graphics don't mater. And, in their own terms, the graphics are good.
If you like post apcoolyptic games, these are for you!
