Fallout Is Fallout the best game of all time?

[someone else]

Best crpg or best game? 'Cause the best game title is already taken.

Best game. This should be posted in general gaming. Mods move this thread?

Thief: The Dark Project is the best game of all time.

Now if we are talking about the best RPG...I'd say it would be the best if it didn't have pretty crappy combat. So I'd rather say Baldur's Gate is the best.

Is Soros paying you to say this stuff?

I wish...

The Metal Age is better.

 

[Trashos]

There are things that Underrail does better than Fallout, but Underrail wouldn't have existed without Fallout.

I 'd say that Fallout is the most influential game of all time with regards to games I enjoy.

 

[Curratum]

It's really really simple. There exists a holy quaternity of games that are all together the best things produced in digital entertainment and those four games are, in chronological order of release, Doom 2, Thief 2, Baldur's Gate 2 and Witcher 3. I don't see Fallout anywhere among those, so the short answer to your question is "No".

 

[Agame]

Doom 2, Thief 2, Baldur's Gate 2 and Witcher 3.

I see what you did there...

The answer is yes of course.

 

[logan]

no ! half-life 2 is !

 

[Life of the Party]

No, the best game of all time is King of Dragon Pass.

There's nothing quite like it and yet there's nothing about it that needs to be added, removed or fixed.

 

[Davaris]

Fallout was like a shot of heroin up my arm.

 

[Theldaran]

Dragoncuck > Fallout

 

[FeelTheRads]

Or why hasn't the fan patches removed that option?

If you really want to give it a try, sfall offers this option. You can choose between completely disabling saving in combat or being allowed to save only at the start of your turn (full AP).

I doubt this improves combat itself, though. Underrail has better combat because it has much more tactical options.

Not being able to save in Fallout just means that you'll just have to replay the whole combat again.
But anyway, I don't really remember save-scumming Fallout's combat. Way too easy. As opposed to Underrail.

The Metal Age is better.

I was contemplating about them for a time, they are neck to neck overall, but I actively despise the final level of Metal Age. It is just bland, and it is not fun just going up against those robots, which immediately kill you with bombs.

These are best Fallouts:

If you didn't save scum you avoided the larger battles. Did you kill all the army that kidnapped the girl from the beginning town? If you did you save scummed. Period. Or you did the fight a million times and got really lucky on the millionth time by dodging a thousand bullets and making a thousand hits. I killed the army because with save scumming nothing is impossible.

If you skipped that, and every major battle that required save scumming, good for you. I didn't.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Well, a reload here and there... is that really save-scumming?
When I'm thinking save-scumming I'm thinking more like doing repeatedly like with stealing.

 

[Serus]

No, it isn't even the best CRPG (for the record, Jagged Alliance 2 probably is) let alone the best game.

 

[FeelTheRads]

If you skipped that, and every major battle that required save scumming, good for you. I didn't.

But anyway, if those battles required reloading/save-scumming, what would you have done if you were not allowed to save, besides starting over the whole combat? How would that have made it better?
It would have made you be more careful and think more about what you do, that's true, but Fallout doesn't have the tactical options of Underrail to allow you to do wildly different things in the same situation.

Starting over wouldn't have worked. Those battles were mathematically impossible. I would have had to skip them. Maybe come back much later?

I'm starting to think I didn't play the same game as you guys, but I've had a bunch of different copies over the years. Does no one remember the very start of FO? The girl that fucks you for free when you save her in the first town? The army that kidnapped her? Am I the only one that kills the bad guys in games?

 

[Zarniwoop]

No, Fallout is not the best game of all time, because Star Control 2 is the best game of all time.

Thread over.

I just died a couple of times and came back later.

Underrail has superior gameplay to that of Fallout (in almost every way, I'd love for someone to give me a major gameplay element that FO does better than UR)

You can run in fallout.

 

[Micormic]

It's easily my favorite RPG along with Arcanum and to a slightly lesser extent fallout 2.


As for favorite all time? Not sure, maybe one of the total war games for me since I really like strategy.



"Best" is subjective and usually an argument reserved for idiots, unless the game in question is something that actually sucks beyond reason. Like NWN or Pillars of eternity.

 

[Micormic]

Tigranes took the words out of my mouth, though I'd like to ask the specific gameplay aspects you thought FO did better than Underrail?

Everything



I liked underrail but it had some very serious flaws.

 

[Micormic]

If you didn't save scum you avoided the larger battles. Did you kill all the army that kidnapped the girl from the beginning town?.

It's called an SMG. Personally I could kill the raiders without save scumming probably 4/5 times. Obviously sometimes you get hit with a crit that can't be helped.




Also fallout doesn't have shitty respawning enemies you need you kill over and over. *cough* DEEP CAVERNS
