Fallout 3 is in my top three gaming experiences. I was 16, hungover after having a party, and my friend randomly left the game in my Xbox so I fired it up and loaded his account. I was blown away.I just remember exploring, there was always something interesting around the very corner.

[@Thagomizer]

Fallout 2 was my favorite game in the series, with Fallout New Vegas a close second. Those Fallout fans who missed the first two games have no idea what the bar is.

[@zacharyjohnson7109]

Same here and the guys wrote the story for new vegas that made 1& 2. go figure.

[@rahulsar2030]

Obsedian know how to make perfect Fallout story but New Vegas used the same game engine of 3. So obsedian simply used Bathesda's game engine and add some new features. Also Bathesda made a new game engine for Fallout 4 with more options like better Power armor, armor that can be equipped with clothing, and settlement building. So in my OPINION Obsedian : better story and missions Bathesda: better game play.

[@Thagomizer]

@@rahulsar2030 New Vegas even plays better than Fallout 3 on a technical level, with the addition of iron sights. And the additional elements like settlement building in Fallout 4 were clumsy and awkward. There are few things more frustrating than playing a schizophrenic game with unfocused design, and that's what Fallout 4 felt like. Contrast that with a game, like, say, Dragon Age: Origins, or The Last of Us. Each of those two played to their own strengths in the best possible way.

[@OFFYASELF]

Rahul Sar yea sure Bethesda is great with gameplay. I love and am completely satisfied with 76. And 4 isn’t just a shitty copy paste with minor upgrades. Nah they’re on a roll.

[@nanObytez-kb5ru]

After having recently played both Fallout 1 & 2 for the first time I gotta say they didn't age nearly as well as Baldur's Gate did for example which I did play on release. Even for people that only recently got hooked on more modern "c"rpgs like Pillars of Eternity or Pathfinder the old BG titles are pretty easy to grasp mechanically whereas Fallout's controls almost appear arcane in comparison. Of course their recent remastering didn't hurt in that regard either. All that said I personally regard New Vegas as my favorite Fallout game by far with Fallout 2 & 3 vying over a distant second place. Sure, the original games and Fallout 2 especially were really good games for the late 90s but if you haven't had the chance to enjoy them back then they simply don't invoke the same feelings. At any rate, after the colossal train wreck that was Fallout 76 and the recent resurgence of crpgs maybe Bethesda will license the franchise back out to Obsidian again for a new isometric Fallout. One can hope? At this point that might be the only way for them to save their sacred Brahmin.

[@ray5357]

I hate how everyone is always trying to pick favorites and divide the community. I love all the Fallout games for different reasons. Some do some stuff better than others, original fallouts had great role playing. Fallout tactics had great combat. 3 and NV were great open world next gen RPGs with great combat. 4 had great visuals,characters, gameplay, and 76 even had a few great moments. Pros and cons for each game. But as a whole, they make up the great fallout franchise we all know and love

76 is more like a spin-off like shelter. 5 will be offline single player along with separate multiplayer if they are planning to implement 76 into 5. So 76 is like a test model in my opinion.

So there's a few in your list that while I'd love to do them, will have to wait until my schedule clears up.

Fallout 1 is just an utter classic and atmospheric masterpiece, Fallout 2 had great RPG elements, Fallout 3 was good for freeroaming and atmosphere, 4 had some pretty nice ideas when it came to gameplay innovations. I just hope that Bethesda manages to get back on track with the series and combines the greatest strengths of each games for future titles, rather than going with what's most popular. If they don't I hope that Obsidian and maybe some other developers can pick up the torch and create a good spiritual successor.

Bethesda: "How do we take an already amazing franchise and make it better" EA: "How do we take an already amazing game studio and make it worse" Anyway, the thing about Fallout is you cant make multiple within a few years, it just wouldnt work the same way. To make a good Fallout game there has to be time in between a release. Even if Fallout 76 was the best Fallout game objectively, people would've still hated it. What makes Fallout S.P.E.C.I.A.L is that like you said, it's an event when a new release comes out (not saying they arent good, they are some of the best games of all time). After NV and 3 Fallout became this almost sacred icon. Whenever Bethesda even hinted at another Fallout people stopped to listen. But now, when they released 76, it didnt have the same excitement to it as other games in the series. The bugs arent the only reason its bad, it just isnt Fallout anymore. Even NV, like you said, was able to overcome all the glitches and bugs to become a fan favorite game, but even after Bethesda has patched the glitches, and the bugs are long gone people will still look back on it with a sour taste in their mouth. I know this is a long comment, but it's coming from a saddened fan, sad to see Bethesda fall so far from grace and one of my favorite game franchises' names pulled through the mud. I find myself watching the e3 reveals for 76 and 4 because it makes me happy reminiscing that, at one point, Bethesda was still a very well respected and prestigious game studio. To be a true Fallout game you need a few core essentials. Heavy emphasis on exploration, great story, fun gameplay, and, most importantly, a true love and understanding of the series. Bethesda has shown that they do have a true love, a true love for money. Thank you.

[@kummakummakummakummakummac8606]

[@SteefPip]

People just want something to bitch about when they talk down on Fallout 4. Your description was spot on though. Yes it suffered from a less engaging story line, but the advancements in all other aspects of the game dwarf that complaint, as it is a remarkably good game that does stay true to the originals. People just need to mellow out and be happy with the amazing advancements in the engine, and be happy that much of it is going to benefit not only future Fallout games, but future Elder Scrolls games as well. I think we can all just agree though they need to hire the Obsidian guys to write the next installment, since Fallout 76 is basically going to be F4 with people.

right on 1 is the best but doesn't translate well to newer modern gamers. We can forgive graphics and ect. and turn based grid combat is a fav of mine but is not received to well now adays. 2 was awesome still, tactics was fun but calling it fallout is a bit of a slap to the face, fallout brotherhood of steal was fun but i felt it didn't quite hit the mark in the fallout universe. fallout 3 was actually really good but the story was def lack luster fallout NV was amazing especially considering it was made so quickly and by the original fallout team that was not a part of fallout 3 i forgive its bugginess but is definitely much better played now then on release. fallout 4 is fun but dumbed down yet ran allot smoother.... fallout 76.... i refuse to play it lol.

It's gotten better not good but better

[@ryninabin3518]

@@realism8796 It's still kind of sad they sold it at full price for so long given how buggy it was. Plus the buying loot boxes with real money was awful. As soon as I heard that 76 was an MMO I knew it was going to be bad. It may have gotten better, but it will never be as good or even close to 3, New Vegas, or 4 (well some parts of 4). I honestly think Bethesda is a sinking ship at this point and has run out of ideas since they use the same engines over and over with all their games. Plus the Bethesda games have always bugs. Mostly amusing, sometimes actually useful (the horses in Skyrim bieng able to climb down straight drops for one). But the 76 bugs made it almost unplayable, and removing NPC's was a killer. I know they've added them back, but it just doesn't have the soul of the original titles.

Jeeee, I already lost track after Fallout Tactics, after watching Interplay's future plans for this game they totally didn't know what they want to do. And Fallout 3 was the best thing that happened to the series.

[@LordTrashcanRulez]

You mean New Vegas ?

[@kummakummakummakummakummac8606]

Fallout Tactics was great. I really liked that game but it's not a rpg.

[@douglasweiss5583]

You mean Fallout 2 of course. Hit the ground running with the first 2 games.

[@fatumteam]

@@douglasweiss5583 no, I mean F3, because F1 & 2 are the best hands down (I like better the first one I felt rushed the 2nd not very polished, and have many bugs) BUT after there was a HUGE gap and it looked like Fallout games such a layer games not popular anymore. But F3 save the day and Fallout got the respect it deserved. Fallout Survived because times maybe changes but war... war never changes.

The detail about the vaults actually being made for experiments on humans was something that was retconned into the lore with 2 or 3, not something that was established in 1, if memory serves me correctly.

Isometric viewed games were a lot of fun back in the day, 1 Iso game I loved was called Dark Eden, you had 3 factions you can play, 1. Humans, 2. Vampires and 3. Ousters ( human/ vampire hybrids and they were only female, was such a fun game to play haha

Bethesda taking over Fallout was the best thing to ever happen to Fallout.

Barth Slung I agree with despite all of their bugs. You don’t understand how many games I had to restart in FO4 bc of the fucking bug on the Molecular Level Quest.

[@Sone01TheFirst]

I would be quite fine with fallout 76's existence if Bethesda simply said it was not cannon, but since they are so intent on trying to justify their "completely reasonable" lore changes it is clear what F76's place is in cannon

[@tristen4142]

I dont even consider 4 or 76 cannon. They just make no sense within the universe

[@shawn_iam9928]

@@tristen4142 how does 4 not make sense?

[@tristen4142]

Shawn Taylor Ghouls not needing food or water, X-01 being in pre war locations, jet being pre war, the children of atom being all the way up in far harbor ( And the hubologists being in Nuka world is pretty ridiculous too). Those are just the ones off the top of my head i’ve read lists and watched videos that point out all of them, and it really shows how bad of a job the writers did.

[@frazerconsidine763]

Fallout 2 and tactics were my favourite. Fallout 2 for its story and slightly more immersive gameplay but tactics for straight up guerilla warfare. The ability to have spotted an enemy from stealth and then set your squad up for an ambush was great fun

[@jgog1]

Would have loved to play a tactical Fallout 3. I love the new style of games, they're definitely appealing but an updated graphics system with that style of gameplay is an idea that always facinates me for Fallout. Like there's an alternate reality where that released instead of the Fallout 3 we have, and I'd love to play it.

[@CalobAdamsInfamous913]

The amount of hate Fallout 4 gets is insane. Like nobody appreciates what Bethesda has done with that game. The gameplay mechanics are the best they ever have been for a Fallout game. Yeah there’s some RPG elements and narrative lacking but overall superb game. The only gripe I had about the story was it like Fallout 3 was too close ended unlike Fallout NV. Also, the DLC was cool but I wanted more and there was a total missed opportunity with the memory den using the SS’s memories of his time in the army. But overall Fallout 4 was a solid 9/10.

[@tristen4142]

The majority of the DLCs were workshop add ons and there are WAY too many lore contradictions

[@morganborzelli8942]
