Fallout 3 was garbage compared to Fallout 1 and 2

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 20 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Fallout 3 isnโ€™t even comparable to the originals, itโ€™s a completely different game.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 18 points 8 months ago

The story, the world and the roleplaying are comparable and Fallout 3 is way worse in that regard. New Vegas reached the old heights again.

NV is overrated, the writing of the originals was on another level

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 6 points 8 months ago

Agree to disagree.

I went and played Fallout 1 because I loved 3 so much... It took a few false starts (1 intelligence was a terrible call for a first playthrough lol, it ended bad)

Now I see it, 1 and 2 were so brilliant with the role playing and story that I can't go back to 3! ๐Ÿ˜Š So many choices, strong characters, just brilliant.

I recently did another playthrough, starting with 1. When I got to three, I spent a couple hours with it and just gave up. It's just so shallow, bland, and lacking compared to 1 and 2.

New Vegas is the sequel 1 and 2 deserved, and Bethesda tries really hard to pretend it doesn't exist.

I have always thought of Fallout 1 as such a pure RPG experience that gives you freedom and options. The main story line only has two objectives you must complete to beat the game, but getting there requires going out into the world and figuring out wtf to do and where to do it.

Can't you even skip one of those goals? What a great game ๐Ÿ˜ It really does let you work it out, but not in an annoying puzzley way

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Only as far as storyline and setting go. Other than that, it was an okay shooter.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 11 points 8 months ago

Yeah... but storyline and setting is what made Fallout so great.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

But at the same time, most of the people who played Fallout 3 never played 1 or 2. By the standards of the time, and for what the game presented itself as, it was pretty cool.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 8 months ago

That's why I said "compared to 1 and 2". ๐Ÿ™„
