It's not just nostalgia, go play Fallout 2, GoG has a copy that should work. It holds up extremely well, because it's just a much better game than the Bethesda versions. The writing, the humor, the world building, it feels a lot more alive and real than the much more technically advanced iterations. Fallout 1 is less polished, but also great. Fallout 3+ always felt like a reskinned Elder Scrolls to me.
- lostmsu 4y agoI did exactly that. Multiple times, including before Fallout 3 came out, after, and also pretty recently. IMHO, Fallout 2 sucks in comparison with anything F3+. Worldbuilding might be there, but the gameplay simply isn't. There's nothing wrong with being "a reskinned Elder Scrolls". Elder Scrolls is a great game (series). It is up there in the hall of masterpieces along with GTA and CS. If you don't believe my word, look at Steam stats: https://store.steampowered.com/stats/ https://store.steampowered.com/stats/ Like many here I also believed F3 and NV had better storytelling. But many hours of playing later, I see that I actually prefer F4.
- oneoff786 4y agoI think most of F and ES games are pretty boring, and the chart is about as compelling as cable ratings the Big Bang theory is a great show. It has mass appeal. It’s a very successful game. But they seem dull to me. The newer ones at least.
- lostmsu 4y agoThe chart is more compelling than your (or mine) personal opinion. Especially, when it is not substantiated.
