Guys did you enjoy Fallout games?

Loved Fallout 3 GOTY and New Vegas very much back in the day , yet to finish Fallout 4 GOTY. Loved headshotting enemies in VATS mode for the gore , going stealth route , making various companions along the adventure. Fallout games used to be fun.

Well?

One of my fav franchises. Obsidian better be in charge of Fallout 5.

Have only played Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 but enjoyed those very much. Am definitely looking forward to an eventual Fallout 5.

I like OGs and Vegas.

3/4 bleh.

Another terrible RPG franchise along with Mass effect, witcher, elder scrolls etc.

Not really. They’re fun for me for about twenty hours, and then I get bored of the repetition and can’t do it anymore. That said, I haven’t played New Vegas, and I loved The Outer Worlds.

Fallout 3 was a sweet spot in gaming for me. It was really my first massive open world wrpg from Bethesda. I hadn't played morrowind and oblivion yet. I was enamored with it. Fallout new Vegas was so buggy at launch it definitely impacted my enjoyment with the game. Fallout 4 by all measure is better than 3 especially with the settlement crafting, but it didn't excite me the way fallout 3 did.... Diminishing returns and such. Still... I'm planning on doing a fallout game on my deck and not sure which to choose first.

Part of me wants to give new Vegas a spin again, but I also wouldn't mind rebuilding the commonwealth.

Mostly from the Bethesda era, but I do. New Vegas was my first and favorite.

Even if 76 didn't turn out as bad as it did, still no desire to play it as I hate MMOs.

Then you should stop hyping Starfield right this moment.

I've played New Vegas and Fallout Boys 4. They're fun games. :)

3 and New Vegas are great. I've got hundreds of hours on those. 4 is average because while the gunplay felt improved and they added running, the actual quests, characters, and dialogue felt flat and boring compared to 3 and NV and the settlement mechanic was not needed. It was neat at first but overall, I would've rather Bethesda had spent more time on the other aspects to make 4 feel more engaging to play.

76 looked awful from the start, had one of the worst launch debacles in video game history, and looking at it now still looks pretty boring to me. Not looking good if Bethesda wants to head down the path of mediocrity for their franchises. Not to mention the microtransactions.

The originals are solid. 3 has this kind of sarcasm about it that makes it pretty enjoyable. 4 is great in VR, fully modded. Vegas is great regardless. 76 is not fun. As others have said, if Obsidian gets behind 5 it'll be the best situation.

I stopped mentioning starfield long ago. but its sci fi space that interest me.

So even you lost the hype for Starfield? OOF.

Yea, I love Fallout. Havent played much of the OGs cause they are pretty dated but i might try again or watch a playthrough. Fallout 3 was great, I modded the hell out of it so its way better. Fallout 4 was kinda meh but has some good mods. I think Fallout New Vegas is a masterpiece and one of the greatest games ever made. Not only is it one of the most modable games ever but it is one of the only open world RPGs to nail the Faction system. The stories, characters, quests, dialogue are incredibly well done so in a way, i think its the best game released since 2010

I loved Fallout 3. On my first attempt, I accidentally managed to piss off all of Megaton, and it auto saved with the whole town trying to kill me. Apparently I could've put my gun away, and possibly de-aggroed them, but I didn't know. I was four hours in and had to start over. But after that, I never had another problem, and only had fun.

I've started Vegas, but can't seem to get into it. Which sucks, because everyone says it's the best.

4 was a huge letdown for me. Still had some cool moments, but it's too populated with people, and the mechanics seem to be baby-fied. In 3, you could at least attempt locks/terminals that were out of your skill range. But if you failed, you would be locked out until you leveled that skill high enough. With 4 you can just keep trying until you get it. It takes the fear of failure away. It's been years, so maybe I'm mixing the memories up, but I also didn't like seeing blue skies in the game. The dichotomy of oppression, between the bleak landscape and the joyous 40's music is exactly what I loved. But in this one, it became less bleak, and the music is mostly the same stuff as before. I know all music isn't localized do different parts of the country. But surely they could've found new old songs for the soundtrack. The crafting was also completely superfluous to me. I found better weapons than I could craft, and the bases were basically just junk storage. That game seemed to kill my immersion at every step. Not a horrible game, but definitely a letdown.

I never attempted 76 because of how awful it launched. After 4 and this, I've lost a massive amount of confidence in them.

But I had fun with Fallout Shelter. Pretty much the only mobile game I've ever played. But playing it with a controller on PlayStation was way better than on the phone.

The originals were great for their time. The Bethesda era has been pretty underwhelming. 3 was a decent 7/10, NV was great, and 4 was garbage. 76 was a mistake that should have never been conceived.

yes with delayed and delayed and some news and lackluster reveal. I lost the hype.

I enjoyed all of the main ones.

I played Fallout 2, 3 and New Vegas. Fallout 2 and New Vegas were great. 3 just felt like Oblivion with guns. Avoided 4 because of that; 3 made it clear to me BGS can't make a Fallout game worthy of the name. 76 doesn't exist and I will stab anyone who mentions it.

Get Obsidian back in, then we'll talk.

Never really got into the originals because of the dice roll nature but loved the concept and setting.

3 was the typical Bethesda buggy mess although it is probably the best game rpg wise they have ever made along side Oblivion and maybe even surpassing it. So it's an okay game for me.

New Vegas is probably my favorite game of all time, so obviously I love it.

4 was a complete disappointment for me, a step back from the level of choice that Bethesda achieved with 3. It feels better because of the gunplay, and if you play it as a Farcry type of game were you just explore the world shooting stuff and forget it's supposed to be an rpg it's enjoyable. So barely okay game for me.

I liked New Vegas but I think it's overrated. Still worth playing though. The other games generally fall into that uncanny valley of quality where they are good enough so that I play them quite a bit but bad enough that I regret wasting the time it took to play them. Worse games are better in a sense because I just drop them quickly without wasting much time.

1, 2 and tactics, yes. The modern ones are kinda boring, except maybe new vegas.

Played 3 and 4 but never finished em. The only Bathesda game i finished is Skyrim

They're ok at best they always feel off like Euro jank.

I absolutely loved Fallout 1 and 2 back in the day, 3 and 4 I enjoyed somewhat.

Is it really important to finish an open world game, tho? I played Skyrim for about 130h and didn't even complete 1/4 of the story. Played Fallout 4 for like 320 hours, and i don't think i did even 1/3rd of the main story. Unless its a quality story campaign like what's in RDR2, most open world titles aren't even worth finishing.

@hardwenzen: yeah but the reason i didn't finish them is because i got bored

They aren't exactly exciting unless you install a metric ton of mods. Without mods Fallout 4 is completely unplayable.

In order for you to like a game, everyone else must hate it.

Do anyone take your view’s seriously?

Only the first two.

Loved setting the dynamite timer and having it as the only thing in my inventory and letting those thieving kids in...Den, I think, steal it.

Didn't have to wait long to find out who the thief was.

I enjoy FONV but FO4... not so much

Played a lot of 3, its basically Skyrim with guns. Very addictive.

1 & 2 looks good. Never played them, just watched when my brother did.

I played Fallout 4 and thought it was terrible. And it's the only game I can go on, so no. I do not like Fallout, or whatever Bethesda turned it into.

Sure, Fallout 2 is one of the greatest RPGs of all time.

The Bethesda ones are all a massive step backwards, but you can't really expect much from a Bethesda game.

first one i played was f3 and i loved it. hadn't played the previous 2 so all the "unfaithful to the tone of the originals" criticisms went over my head. ignorance is bliss.

new vegas i enjoyed but only eventually. i got off to such a rotten start with it because of the ridiculous amount of bugs and glitches in the pc version, it soured the experience, and it couldn't shake that off even when i rebought it and played a stable version on console much later.

kind of funny looking back in hindsight at some of the bugs and glitches but at the time it was infuriating. so much lost time to corrupt or glitchy saves. i would literally save somewhere safe and innocuous, not an enemy in sight, come to reload and there'd be a fckin deathclaw right next to me which i couldnt outrun. of all the enemies to spawn next to, it had to be one of the toughest in the game lol, happened over and over again to the point of where it began to feel less like a bug and more of an intentional thing to fck with me.

f4 was fallout 3.5. a very disappointing sequel. not remotely interested in the base building aspect, not in the way it was delivered. the rest was varying degrees of average. not terrible just all very underwhelming. 76 looked like a dumpster fire. and its because of these two that we shouldn't take anything for granted with starfield. not a cat in hell's chance of a pre-order, no matter how hard they crank the hype-ometer

I really enjoyed them eapecially F3 and up. Although I consider myself a console first user, Fallout is best played on PC. I dont play with many mods just mod that fix crashes and improve gameplay. Personally Fallout is best played with console commands I just love spawning shit in game and using various cheats like erasing limits for shelter building (or outpost I forgot what its called) in Fallout 4.

I dont care much about Fallout 1 & 2 I only played them after Fallout 3 GoTY edition. I played the one where you need to get the the thing that can create utopia (?) in the wasteland. Great story but really pissed by the amount of bugs in game probably just not optimized for the PC I used then.

I love Fallout. Fallout 3 has the best atmosphere and world-building. Loved exploring the world and discovering little details. Had some very intriguing side quests as well. Didn't enjoy New Vegas' Mojave Desert as much but the faction storylines and decision consequences made up for it. Fallout 4 has the best combat and gunplay but is a bit bland. Overall I had a great time with it even though I didn't care about the settlement and base building system as I generally find it quite boring as a gameplay mechanic.

I've loved them, must have put literally hundreds of hours into Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.

Call me stupid, but I've owned Fallout 4 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Xbox because I was given (yes, 'given', for free) an Xbox One by Microsoft back in 2013 and my PC was too rubbish to play it back when F4 released in 2015. Then I owned it on a PS4 Pro, which was fine until I played (or tried to play) the Far Harbour DLC. It looked great on the Pro, but my god the frame rate! If 30 wasn't bad enough, this was dropping into the 20's. Awful!

I only now play Fallout 4 on PC. I actually played it yesterday. I wasn't able to fully max it out, but I had everything on max other than the lighting (High), shadows (High) and SSAO instead of HBAO+ and was getting a solid 60fps @4K, even in the middle of Boston, which is a pretty heavy area on this old engine.

Can't play that on consoles anymore. The most annoying graphical drawback is the Shadow distance. I had this maxed on my PC.

Fallout 4 is getting an update in 2023.

Yeah, they were cool.

The retro futuristic setting is like 70% of their charm. Without it, they just wouldnt be the same

3 and new vegas are good enough as is for multiple playthroughs, new vegas more than 3 in all honesty, 4 is good for maybe 2 playthroughs as standard.

imo 4 gains the most from mods, you can very effectively turn up the horror/atmosphere vibes as for my money 4 as standard is too colourful, the settlement system plus a few select mods can have you basically playing a different game, if you're a player who can set their own goals/play through rules etc. modded fallout 4 has a lot to offer if you're only playing vanilla it's the weakest of the 3 bethesda fallouts.

I absolutely loved Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4. Especially the survival mode in Fallout 4, where you couldn't just save and fast travel as you pleased. I am very excited about Fallout 5.

Only played fallout 4 due to its free for psn. I could barely play it for 3 hours then uninstall.

I did like Fallout 3 a lot ... not that interested in 4.
