Best Fallout game

[Ben Soto]

I was talking about F1's confusing directions. That first paragraph was all about how I didn't like F2. F1 wasn't all that bad, in fact it was pretty good. It's just the combat that sucked tremendously. I must've played both at least three times. I just beat F2 again last... July or August or something... and it wasn't any better than it was the last time. Some people like turn based combat. I just don't.

I actually instinctively mastered kiting before I even knew what it was called. I used the same strategy before with my melee character in NV, Derpderp. Ah, Derpderp. Killed a deathclaw with a switchblade by running up to it, hitting it, then hiding like a pansy in a room the deathclaw couldn't access. Rinse and repeat, insert Benny Hill theme here. Same principles at kiting, really, though with a different adverse effect for the enemy.

Ha the deathclaws in New Vegas, the ones near Sloan was it? Quarry Junction is where I bugged up onto the invisible boarders on the "cliffs" while I took pot shots at all the deathclaws till I killed them. I thought it was funny how they were moving back and forth, rubbing against the wall until I killed them.

 

[Ben Soto]

I think it was near the powder ganger vault, actually.

FNV >(only just) F1 > F2

 

[Dr Fallout]

I hated the insane amount of random encounters in Fallout 2, it was insane that there so many bandit gangs around the wastes.

On a third. Fourth? Playthrough. I figured that you can get past the Deathclaws off that one Powder Ganger using the Stealth Boy from the one Powder Ganger you can just straight up murder. (The one threatening Trudy.) After that, I figured you could just stick to the rocks near Black Mountain to break their pathing, rendering the Stealth Boy largely unecessary.

You then sneak into New Vegas through the McCarran subway line using an NCR disguise you pull off one of the fallen troopers that fight the Fiends or buy one from Contreras. Talk to House and murder Benny; in whichever order suits your tastes.

If you have Luck 9, you buy Naughty Nightwear to Luck 10 and clear out the casinos. (High luck really does seem to heavily bias blackjack in your favor.)
Still have that Stealth Boy from before? Steal all the Silver Rush energy weapons while invisible and stash them in your Lucky 38 Suite.
You are now video game rich.

Then I came back with a Sniper Rifle to shoot said Deathclaws in the eye.

 

[Ben Soto]

I think Derpderp's victory was still more badass. Also, it was on my second character at level 35-ish.

I hate Cazadores. Say it with me, 'I hate cazadores'.

New Vegas just wins it for me, it's a game I can still go back and just play the shit out of it. I loved every second of it.
Fallout 1 is a close 2nd, I've not played it a great deal, but I like the hopelessness the game gives to the player.
Fallout 4 is 3rd, while I didn't have as much fun with it as F3, I felt this was at least a decent attempt to make a Fallout game, even if it did fall flat.
Fallout 3 is 4th, I enjoyed the shit out of it years ago, and still enjoy it today. But it's kind of a shallow game. It hasn't held up as well as the first two and it hasn't got a gripping story to go with it. The DLC is what holds this game together, and even then, Mothership Zeta is just... eh? I found MZ was the only DLC which felt like a chore to get through and turned a neat easter egg and nod to the old games into a full blown thing. But at the same time, The Pitt and Point Lookout exists and those were better than the main game itself. In fact, The Pitt is possibly my favourite piece of DLC of all time, even if I think the quality of F3 DLC is lower than that of New Vegas DLC.
I would put Tactics as 5th, not played much, but what I have played, it feels okay. Wouldn't pass it up.
Shelter I'm not going to count as it's more of an app. Eh, as an app... it's better than some others out there. I would certainly rather play it than candy crush.
Fallout 2 I've not played enough for me to really comment on, I will get round to it eventually (I promise).

Piece of shit... I would rather have Mothership Zeta be turned into Fallout 5.

The only answer is either Fallout 1 or 2.

go back to bethesda forums please.

Why? I fail to see anything wrong with his post. He's just saying that he doesn't like turn-based, not that Fallout 4's writing is better or something like that.

 

[MercenarySnake]

Okay before everyone kills each other, we all have our own opinions and let's leave it at that. If Ben happens to prefer New Vegas as his favorite then that's okay no need to be hostile about it.

 

[Sergeant Politeness]

You should go with him.. cosplayer lmfao

I don't know where you got the idea that I was a cosplayer though, unless saying that their hobby isn't stupid makes me one.

 

[Dr Fallout]

go back to bethesda forums please.

Wow, seriously let him be. He likes Fallout New Vegas at least.

I also don't dislike F1. It's F2 I really don't like.

You have to find Vault 13... Because we were too stupid to draw a friggin' map.

You're the only hope for our village... So we'll send you off with nothing but a crappy spear and the jumpsuit on your back.

We have people who can communicate with you psychically... Because that's a thing now. (Yes, I know there were psykers before, but they were experiments of the Master. What's Hakunin's excuse?)

The Enclave will take over the world by killing everyone else... Except that's a really contrived plan since the Enclave apparently don't understand how genetic diversity, mutation and basic evolution works.

Add to that the awful difficulty spike and incredibly boring environments and we get an overall bad game.

So what if Ben Soto isn't the biggest fan of Fallout 2, just because many of us love both Fallout 1 and 2 doesn't mean bullying people who prefer New Vegas or dislike one of the originals for level headed reasons doesn't mean we bully him.

There are two insects in the world that rate a 4 (the max) on the Schmidt sting pain scale: the bullet ant and the tarantula hawk. The stinger is an inch long, and it is used to paralyze large spiders so that the females can lay their eggs inside of the helpless spider.

Thankfully the males are harmless (like mosquitos but more terrifying), and they're pretty docile since they don't want to eat you, they actually pretty much only eat nectar (they just lay their eggs inside of paralyzed living creatures.) You wouldn't be paralyzed if one stung you, you'd just have about three minutes of wishing for death (reportedly you spend pretty much the entire time screaming) and then you'd get better.

If we're listing insects that are a terrible idea to make gigantic though, this would be high on the list.

Now, if I said Fallout 3 was the best Fallout game, then I think I'd like you to actually shoot me, because dear god, not Fallout 3.

I don't see the point in trashing someone like you on here just because you differ in opinion. A little diversity never hurts, while I respectfully disagree with your opinion I could understand from someone elses' point of view. Just because i'm in love with Fallout 1 and 2 don't expect me to be an asshole to another reasonable Fallout fan that happens to like New Vegas the most and Fallout 3 a little bit. A little teasing here and there but playful teasing.
