Fallout: BOS, that is. Also known as Fallout: POS or "Oh, GOD, why????"
Oh yeah, bitches. I managed to get my PS2 connected to the computer so I can take screenshots and not-removed-from-inventory this fucker, so let's go!
And before some shithead decides to share with us the existence of emulators: this does not work in an emulator. Nobody cared to support it. Nobody knows about it. It's not even on the list of unsupported games.
Popping the DVD (oh yeah, this is serious business) in the Gaystation takes us to the intro cinematic. A cinematic which is a mish-mash of clips from the Fallout 1 & 2 intros, Civil Defense movies, a skull and even Tactics in-game scenes. From this intro we find out that in the 50s we dreamed of a better world, but shit happens so the war comes, everything is destroyed, mutants arise and the BOS is protecting the wasteland because they're nice people.
The intro done, we are treated with the main menu. Notice the beautifully rendered drapes.
Since this is the first time playing, let's have a look at the options:
OK, everything seems fine. Vibration is on too. Hanging on the wall we can see a Fallout 2 reference and a sleeping nigger.
Now we can start playing.
In typical Fallout tradition we can choose between three characters.
This may be the most politically correct game ever as you have no option to play a white male. It's either muscular nigger, tramp or the yellow dude.
But first, the tutorial!
We get to learn how to play in BOS' own automatic training center. Whoopee. I push X for OK.
We start easy by learning how to move in the four corners of one room but soon get to more complicated stuff like jumping over pipes, ducking under lasers or both. But never jumping over lasers or ducking under pipes.
Hitting lasers means failure:
Shit. We are teleported back to the previous checkpoint, though.
Lasers gone, we also get to dodge steam:
Jump on irradiated barrels:
Leave cool green trails if we get irradiated:
Knife robots:
Shoot robots:
And fuck the robots, let's get this over with:
We'll start the real game, with the woman. Another cinematic follows, which tells us about a town named Carbon in which your mission is just to meet some fellow paladins, but in the wasteland nothing is so easy, motherfucker, because this town in attacked by raiders and their... matron.
Terrifying. These raiders, which are also slavers apparently, want something from the people of this town.
There are only a prostitute, a barman and about 2 other people here, though, so what could these raiders want from them? We don't know, but we know they're gonna be in deep shit if they don't provide.
That's what the matron says and then the raiders leave:
But they leave Frank behind:
Raider 2 says Frank is in the bar.
But we'll see Frank next time when we're gonna try to accomplish our mission:
