FallOut

ProPain · 25-06-2011, 18:28

Bought FallOut 1, 2 & tactics on GOG.com. They were dirt cheap and FallOut has been on my list of 'still have to play sometime' ever since release. I've played it a bit and so far I really like it. Even with the gritty old school low res it is still a very good game.

I installed the high res mod, but 1680*1050 makes it really hard to see stuff on the floor so I wend back to 800*600 and I must say I enjoy it more that way. Real old-school feeling.

Anybody else who played it?

A long time ago. I have 3 and New Vegas for the PS3.

Why did you buy em for the PS3 instead of PC?

I played only FO3. Which is quite a reasonable game IMO.

To have something to do when I'm not at my PC.

I picture the following scene:

Shabba GF: Come on, can't you do something else apart from playing TF2 on that ff'ing pc al day.

Shabba:Sure honey.

-= logs out TF2, shuts down PC, walks to the couch and starts playing on his PS3 =-

Usually it's just that she wants to use the PC herself. The game also has a very slow pace, so it's suitable for gaming on the couch. If I'd be playing it on the PC I'd be playing it as a FPS (instead with VATS), but as an FPS it's a subpar game. So I'm willingly restricting myself to playing with a controller instead of a mouse (like all those CoD idiots) and pretend to be happy.

I was wondering how that transition from turn-based to more FPS combat turned out. Cause that's what has been keeping me from buying Fallout:NV untill now. Is the game comparable to other RPG's like Morrowind/Oblivion or is it a completely different beast?

Just like Oblivion, and in combat you can enter something like TBS mode.

good to know, think I might buy them once I finish up 1 & 2. And hoping for the Steam summer sale to arrive, if it ever will.

Halfway FO1 now I estimate, still really enjoying it. I love the atmosphere. The inventory handling is also pretty cumbersome. But that's older games too I guess. Col & Civ 1 - 3 also had a lot of enfuriating micro.
