Very negative depiction of Fallout 2 here. I would instead strongly recommend it, especially to players who liked the first Fallout, or who liked Fallout New Vegas. It does not feel as heartless and disjointed as the article suggests, instead it is a bigger game than its predecessor with more variety and options. Lots of roleplaying and great lore with good quests and interesting characters.
- arp242 2y agoI'm surprised; I don't recall the reception being that negative/muted at the time. Wikipedia seems to agree: "Fallout 2 was well received by critics, who praised its gameplay and storyline, and considered it a worthy successor to the original Fallout". From what I recall it's quite a lot bigger and less linear than the first game. When I (re-)played Fallout again a few years back I found it hard to get over the jankiness of it all. I didn't finish it. Porting Fallout 1 and 2 to the Infinity Engine used by the Black Isle games is one of my "dream projects" I'll probably never get around to.
- onli 2y agoYou are right, https://www.kultboy.com/testbericht-uebersicht/2382/ https://www.kultboy.com/testbericht-uebersicht/2382/ and https://www.kultboy.com/testbericht-uebersicht/2612/ https://www.kultboy.com/testbericht-uebersicht/2612/ suggests that the games were around equally well received (in the german gaming press at least, which is a good mark for RPGs). I believed the article there, but it's mistaken as far as I can tell.
