Favorite post apocalyptic game!

Hey guys, as the title says, what is your favorite pc game set in a post apocalyptic environment.

Mine is Metro 2033, now im looking for more apocalypsy type games :D

Apocalyptic game from this gen or any gen?

If it is from any gen I have to go with Fallout 2.

The S.TA.L.K.E.R. series is post apoc. The game play is enhanced a lot through the use of mods and it advised to used mods.

I am going to go with an oldie here that most probably have never heard of. The game is Terminator Future Shock (Bethesda) and it's add on Skynet. The graphics are naturally atrocious compared to today's offerings but hey this game was released in 1995. No game to date has ever captured a truer feeling of nuclear devastation as Terminator Future Shock. I really wish they would update it that would get me excited about computer gaming again.

From my understanding it wasn't a post apocalyptic world, but a nuclear event that changed Pripyat/Chernobyl. Nonetheless still fun series.

I'll copout and say Stalker. It might not be technically post-apoc, but it is definitely above all the games that technically are post-apoc. :)

I'd love to say STALKER, but since it isn't post apocalyptic, I'll say Metro 2033.

about post-apocalyptic games...do we have any other choices than fallouts or stalker?

metro 2033 is from the developer who made stalker.

so, in a sense, there is only stalker or fallout.

They were published by the same company, THQ, though.

it's not post apoc? it's set in Chernobyl.Nibroc420

What else would you call something like that that takes place in a setting that was caused by the explosion of a NUCLEAR REACTOR?!

A game setting doesn't have to encompass the whole earth to be considered post apoc.

Fallout series, without doubt.

If I had to pick just one, I'd probably say Fallout 3, because I found it more immersive.

Does Half Life 2 count? If not definitely S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Fallout 1,2 and tatics, didn't like 3 tho, the whole stalker serie is nice too tho it's more like a regional post apocaliptic situation.

I am gonna be flamed but, fallout 3. it does the post apocalyptic element better than any other game outhere, especially level design and atmopsphere.dakan45

Fallout 3 has been the most enjoyable for me, I played through all of the side quests, main quest, then DLC and I still wanted to play more after that.

What was believable in a crowded, unlooted landscape where electricity and computers still work?:P

The Pitt DLC was great, it was the only part of the game that came close to the greatness of the originals.

... Borderlands anybody?

Definatly the HL2 series.Awesome atmosphere and the most interesting story I've ever seen in an FPS

... Borderlands anybody?

Fallout 1 or 2 (which one I like better usually depends on the day of the week). I can't think of any other (somewhat modern) game that even comes close to those two (well, there's Wasteland but it's pretty old and I doubt too many here have played it). At any rate, I'll pick one of those two and today, since I can only choose one, I'll tilt a bit towards the original Fallout (it's a little grittier than FO2 although both are truly great RPGs unlike the last, sequel in name only, incarnation of the game).

Just remembered another good Post apocaliptic game, Warhammer 40k the saga as whole pretty much.

Yeah i know you dislike fallout 3 alot :( Lets not destroy the moment. But i got a question too, how come it was the same in the previous fallout games? Infact i remember looting the npcs houses infront their eyes and they didnt give a damn for most of the time.dakan45

At least computers weren't working everywhere:P

I understand what happened in Chernobyl and the events in S.T.A.L.K.E.R are definitely not post-apoc I'm gonna have to say Fallout.Nibroc420

Stalker's supposed to be post-apoc. One of the main taglines is "Man made hell". The Zone is supposed to be a pocket of post-apocalyptic landscape. Normal life ended there.

Fallout 2

... Borderlands anybody?

Borderlands is not post-apocalyptic. Pitchford interview (0:40-1:10)

probably metro 2033 and then fallout 3

Fallout 3.

Does bioshock count as post apocalyptic?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, with Fallout 3 in close second.
