Fallout: The gold standard for Crpgs. Cohesive, well written, Very great way of introducing the setting for the series.
It has a shitton of player agency from being able to steal from anyone, to killing every single character in the game or using its multitude of skills to achieve creative solutions (such as planting C4 at someone's pocket in order to make silent assassinations), its also a game that makes its mysteries feed the player curiosity to explore a lot. When you hear about a certain place full of old technology, taken by radiation and known as the hell itself, a place of legends and old stories long buried, expect it to be a cool moment when you actually get to go there. The "abyss itself."
All in all its a replayable, great game with a few flaws such as some skills being a bit unbalanced, itemization being a bit lackluster (pistols should cost 4 ap instead of 5, Robes and light armor should grant more AC than heavy armor,etc...), evil playtroughts dont work properly and some moments of reactivity dont exist even if expected (if you save tandi, her boyfriend wont even notice). 8/10
Fallout 2: Great sequel, its main story is a bit worst than Fo1 due to being more unfocused due to the lack of a time limit and worst antagonists but it has some of the finest side content in rpg history, it also has much better prose than Fo1 with more nuanced descriptions for how characters act and speak, often making for far superior characterization when compared to Fo1. Here even non talking head such as Jules or Mason are memorable and their little quirks and odd ways of talking will stuck with the player, Worldbuilding is also great and its one of the only games ive played to correctly grasp on the Economic concept of Comparative advantage, its also used in a very logical way (When you ask yourself why would Broken hills benefit from have an Uranium mine and then see that their biggest source of money are caravans from Gecko, which is a town that has an Atomic power plant, you can notice the care for making a logical world).
Gameplay is also improved. Better balance in the special system such as Charisma being useful and some skills being buffed and nerfed properly (gambling is no longer OP, Sneak is now great, Unarmed is also great) and due to the huge Buff in Party members, they are now useful, which makes combat even better (Yes, those games combat are good, althought quite simple, there is some tactical depth due to how the skill system interact with the game and all the different options it can grant, mix it with the good sound/animation feedback and you have gold.). I need to mention the Choice and consequence and Freedom to do whatever you want to? this game has carriers. you can become a box champion, slaver, ranger, p*** actor, Guard captain, Made man, Hubologist,etc... its just a roleplaying heaven. Then again, there is some flaws: Some aspects of the south areas are unfinished and have less care compared to the north areas, some popculture references are very dated and a bit intrusive and the Main story is again, a downgrade. Aside from that, its fucking Fire. 9/10.
Fallout Tactics: Vehicles, somewhat decent cover system, Grenade tossing was improved, enemy A.I is improved, you can change between Turn based and Real time, Theres actual challenges to combat encounters and a bunch of it is well thought out althought definitively lackluster compared to Silent storm or JA2. Suffice to say, best combat in the series. overall gameplay is much more limited thought and even tho the calculator is a cool villain, it lacks on a bunch of areas and the mainstory feels like a weird fanfiction (lol hairy mammal deathclaws being recruited as brotherhood members) so i cant respect it as an entry. 4.5/10.
Fallout BoS: its beating a dead horse at this point. we all know its garbo. 1/10
Fallout 3: *****SPOILERS*****
Not a single redeeming quality about this, aside from maybe, some side quests, which are admittedly quite cool (tenpenny tower, Oasis and... thats it i think?). This game largely copy-paste Fo1/2 concepts instead of moving the series forward. Geck again, problems regarding the purification of water again, Enclave as villains again... except that now everything is stupid, megaton has a water purifier, mr handy robots can give you clean water in seconds and nobody seems to crave for it aside from some beggars, yet somehow this is supposed to be a problem, then you find out Eden is evil and stop him, Autumn suddenly survives an event he shouldnt be able to, you find out he has no reason to go against you since both of you want the same thing and he was against Eden, you convince him after that without knowing his plans and then the game force you to sacrifice in order to save the world even if you have a super mutant alongside with your character. After the dlc you could avoid that atleast!! now the game only call you a coward by sending someone immune to radiation (lmao). its by far the most nonsensical main story in the series.
The gameplay is very bad either, who had the idea of having you explore a big open world full of verticality, without having the ability to sprint? Fo1/2 had it, why this 3d game wouldnt? they also took a bunch of easy shortcuts out of the game, making it significantly slower. the newly introduced V.A.T.S also wont help. enemies are bullet sponges and the camera keep slowing down to show those cinematic angles for shooting at enemies. its boring. you cant avoid V.A.T.S either, Gunplay is awful here and you will need precision to save bullets since for some reason, AMMO is way more scarce here than in other games. It also introduced an awful Repair system that i hate and Party members went from 6 max number down to 2 at a time (a human and a non human). The build system is useless, skills dont matter nor stats and when you notice that V.A.T.S grant you 90% DT (making you pretty much immortal) and that the Karma system dont actually register anything,you will beat entire towns to death with your bare punch, go back after 4 days and everybody will forget. its downright broken. Unplayable. 2.5/10.
Fallout New vegas: Overrated, main story is often praised and i will admit that it has some cool elements, the hoover dam battle and everything revolving the main factions is quite cool, i like what they did with the tribal lore and how they expanded The NCR to whole new levels. Worldbuilding is mostly rather logical and it does respect Fo lore (mostly, Followers of the apocalypse should be dead, canonically so), however. the main premise is stupid. your PC get shot in the head twice and survives only to come up with the idea that a mailmen should investigate or outright go for revenge against the group of people who tried to kill them, instead of trying to survive and hide until the storm goes away. Not only that, but your PC feels like a ghost, nobody in the world knows them, they have no friends, nobody recognizes them, nobody misses them. its so obvious that the PC is supposed to be a blank slate for the user to have as an avatar that is downright insulting at times. (its also later invalidated by Lonesome road, which makes the whole thing useless)
Gameplay is mostly Fo3's idea, which means it sucks and its very slow paced, well, atleast you have ads now, but the encounter design is quite crappy and even if more challenging than Fo3, its still braindead for the most part save Dead money (which is the best modern piece of Fallout), the quest design is awful in side content, but the main questing is rather solid (which is mostly the oposite from BETH titles) and its biggest PRO is having the best itemization in the whole series but all in all, its quite Mediocre, it would be better if it was more polished, but it crashes at each 4 minutes. atleast it has significant improvements over Fo3's mechanics, specially in perk departments even tho combat skills are still meaningless.
5/10.
Fallout 4: Beth usual thing. Main story sucks, main quest sucks, side content is rather ok (worse than Fo3 in this regard). Atleast it tried to do things with the setting, i actually really liked the introduction of Synths for example. Aside from that, its rather dull
Combat and gameplay overall were VASTLY improved to the point i wasnt trying to roast myself after playing it for more than 10 minutes, however the gameplay loop is rather boring so after long periods of times, it gets exhaustive to play. Itemization was really bad in this title, nothing felt unique due to how often special loot dropped and how randomized everything feels with the legendary loot system. It has really weird equipment progression either. 4 minutes and already a minigun, laser musket, power armor AND facing a deathclaw? lol. Didnt mind the crafting either and most of the new SPECIAL changes are abyssmal. Far harbor was legitimely good, the main game? not so much. 4/10
Fallout 76: Its Fo4, but online. it has more convoluted systems and none of the sides are memorable, althought i like that it tried to bring some classic elements back, such as Floaters, the new perk system is a bit better than Fo4's too, althought everything else is slightly worse than Fo4. 3/10
Fo2>Fo1>FoNV>FoT>Fo4>Fo76>Fo3>BoS
Only dlcs worth bothering with are Dead money (again, peak of modern Fallout) and Far harbor. Maybe OWB, but gameplay is awful there, so i digress.
Fallout 3 was amazing. It made me a fan of the entire franchise. Because of it I bought all of the DLC, Fallout New Vegas w/DLC and all of Fallout 4. The mods make the games even better and fix a lot of the bugs Bethesda never decided to fix.
I’ve tried a few mods for fallout 4 and wanna try more for the other games but i also wanted to give mods their own video later on so im pretty excited about trying that out
Fallout 4 was where I started and I still think it’s a pretty alright game, new Vegas for me was what hooked me into the series even more.
I didn't play Fallout 1 and 2, because I didn't have a PC when they came out. I was playing on console back then. I did play a lot of PC ports like Doom and Half-Life 2.
I just got back to the Mojave Wasteland around a week or two ago and I must say it's as good as some describe it. I can also say that patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
I’m sure the lack of traffic would be nice 😮💨
Finally play the DLC after avoiding them for so long but yea. In HH, damn my bad. Didn’t mean to start a tribal war
Maybe the real New Vegas was actually friends ( and countless speeches) we made along the way😏
Wow!
Really great video. Your journey and opinions going through the franchise was entertaining and relatable. I got back into the series after watching the TV show, and loading up my old FO3 save from nine years ago to do the DLCs. Currently playing New Vegas through TTW on PC. Interested in trying the older Fallouts.
I recommend the older fallouts, especially 2. Been playing it just as a hobby lately and I’m hooked even if it took a few hours
Fallout is my fave franchise of all time, I just got done with my first playthrough of NV and it is my new fave game of all time (it’s was F4 before lol) and now I think I’m gonna play the first 2 when I can
Liked and subbed keep up the amazing content
New Vegas really is goated , and thanks! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
This video deserves 100k views, well done. I'm a fallout 4 only scrub so it was great hearing about what the other games were like.
Thanks for checking it out! Appreciate it(:
