None of the new fans have ever played the original games
I guess I am considered one of these "new fans."

Since I was first introduced to Fallout through Fallout 3 and I liked it. It was silly, but I liked it. Then I got my hands on Fallout and Fallout 2 and never looked back. After playing and beating the original Fallouts, it left me wanting more of
that Fallout, the real Fallout, and made me mad and bitter toward Fallout 3. I tried playing Fallout 3 last night, again, and it was such a chore. Fallout 3 will always have an odd place in my heart for introducing me to the Fallout world, but it's pretty much a crap game.
So, I guess I'm a born again Fallout fan.
Anyway, this article was clearly written by a Fallout 3 fan who's only knowledge is of Fallout 3 and doesn't look into the other games, or upcoming games for that matter. Maybe some of these fans think
only Fallout 3 exists, and the 3 is just there like those pizza restaurants just put the 3 or 2 after their name to attract customers. "Well, if they opened up a 3rd shop, it must be good!"
Seriously, Fallout is Fallout. It doesn't need a freakin' Playstation Home type interface, and it doesn't need a ton of junk for hoarders to sell to other hoarders. It doesn't need fanciful guns, Energy Weapons are enough. This is a post-apocalyptic future Earth people, not some new distant planet that resembles a dirty sandbox that cats use as a litter box. There shouldn't be much resources, and there should only be weaponry, broken and weathered mind you, that existed pre-war or made from scavenged parts. No freeze guns, no guns that shoot teddy bears.
