Yes it has... Thank you for reminding me about it.
Chase Cooper
Yeah...
Joshua Anderson
Yeah, because the Fallout series was in such great hands before big bad Bethesda came along.
Adam Bailey
Blame Interplay higher ups for ordering this retarded shit instead of funding Van Buren.
Jeremiah Taylor
No. Instead, my favourite franchise is forgotten by Sony and has been resting peacefully for 20 years. To be honest, it's probably for the best knowing the state of the games industry right now

>Humble

Brody Sanchez
>Bethesda managed to de-throne BOS with Fallout 76
Jordan Lopez
But Fallout became only better after Bethesda. Seethe more boomer-doomer
Luke Barnes
Fallout 1 was literally the only good game in the series.
>11/10 soundtrack
>World feels apocalyptic and not like some theme park
>Intro perfectly sets up the dark tone and manages to convey how bleak and hopeless the world is
>Game is depressing and really made you fear the atom bomb and its effects
Then 2 shat all over that with DUDE 80S MEMES LMAO
Christopher Adams
Same user, better be dead than a rotten, walking corpse.
Alexander Morris
Humble beginnings instantly throttled by it's sequel in a downward spiral you niggers never shut the fuck up about.
I say that having things I like about the whole fucking series, as fucking stupid as the whole thing is.

Why do people continue to further this myth that Fallout 2 was nothing but pop culture references? The amount of pop culture references are seriously overblown and only make up a fairly small part of the game.
Lincoln Campbell
no one cares about games that take themself too seriously you dumb autist
Robert Gonzalez
I really hate Fallout fans. Biggest bunch of faggots on the board.
Aaron Russell
still more tolerable than smashfags
Robert White
kek
Anthony Reyes
Going to happen to TES fans when new game comes out.
Xavier Jones
I'd rather have a sequel with its own identity than one that tries to retread the same stuff done by the first game.
Also, Fallout 2 is really unique in the series with its focus on humor and makes a nice contrast with 1's seriousness.
And seriously, who would hate its soundtrack.

Gabriel Perez
Fallout 1 is basically just a demo for Fallout 2.

There's not a single Mad Max reference made in 2 that wasn't in Fallout 1 already.
In fact, you can only find Dogmeat in an easy-to-miss random encounter while in FO1 he's one of the first obtainable companions.
Daniel Davis
Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Doom, Wolfenstein. Shit, these are the first I remembered from hat, and all bethesda's shit. There's more, obviously, but shit, think about it: how many good series bethesda has destroyed?
Aiden Nguyen
You're not getting the point. The point is that Fallout 1 had a bleak and empty world and it felt like you had to struggle just to survive. It was a brutally honest look at nuclear war and the consequences of it. Then 2 gave us talking Deathclaws and a deus ex machina in the form of the GECK because Black Isle lost their nerve and wanted a generic action game.
Landon Turner
Beth started the meme of the GECK being some magical bullshit that can do anything when in reality it was just some box with some seeds and some tips on house construction.
It originally was what the C.A.M.P is in 76 is now.
Andrew Jackson
Yup. When Yakuza games started to become extremely rushed pieces of shit with content cut and even more assets reused than the series once did, I knew the franchise was dying.
Yakuza 7 only affirms that belief.
Ayden Bennett
People always counter with "b-b-but Fallout 1 has pop culture references to!" but it's so disingenuous because anyone who plays through both games can attest to the fact that Fallout 2 literally has over 5x as many pop culture memeing in it than Fallout 1.
Michael Thomas
I got sick of the 50s shtick. Gimme more 90s post-apocalyptic punk
Henry Hughes
As I wrote in the previous post, the different tone of 2 was an infinitely better approach than trying to recreate the bleakness portrayed in Fallout 1. The game was set decades after Fallout 1, so there was no reason to show the same destroyed world once again. The lighter tone helps to convey that progress, but I can understand if there's people that don't like it.
Talking deathclaws and friendly super mutants may be stretches, but I don't think they clash that much with the robots and energy weapons taken straight out of Flash Gordon from the first Fallout. After all, the sci-fi aesthetic is an integral part of Fallout and talking monsters is part of that too, the game even gives an explanation for that.
Also, about that Mad Max post, seriously the humor of Fallout 2 is more about breaking the fourth wall than making pop cultural references. I don't know why there's this misconception that all Fallout 2 does is referencing Monty Python and Star Trek.
Luke Davis
Truth is... the game was rigged from the start
Jaxson Foster
Yep, it will happen
Josiah Myers
This is why I only play the most autistic games
