Are these still worth playing in current year or does New Vegas render them both obsolete?

yes they are still worth playing. they aren't even the same genre as new vegas, how could it make them obsolete?
no fucking way is janky gamebryo first person shooting objectively superior.

they are hard to play but they are really good. You definitely should try them if you can get them cheap

I played 1 the other month and loved it. Couldn't get into 2.

I've only played Fallout 1. It is a very different from New Vegas, but I would say much higher quality. Better writing and mechanics by far.

They're timeless classics

same

Alright, I'm about to start FO1. Is there anything I should know beforehand, or is it best to just go in blind?

I went in blind and the only things I had to look up were some UI quirks, like how to drop stuff from the inventory and use skills. Other than that, nothing, and it was very fun

take notes of what people say. theres no exhaustive task log and some people dont have repeatable dialogue.

How strict is the time limit? That's really my only concern.

put all points all in doctor and outdoorsmanship

Put intelligence at 3 if you want to play as a literal retard with retard dialog options

What are your issues with 2, they work the same on the mechanical level and 2 has more content

Not strict at all really

If you can stomach mobile game tier gameplay take a shot.

Not really. Graphics are painful to look at

Absolutely. I played through them last year and they played just fine. New Vegas isn't that good btw.

Would NV's reception be less positive if 3 and 4 didn't exist?

even being as dated it is, the characters are so much more expressive than the soulless monstrosities of the gamebryo games

Fallout=Fallout2 > ATOM RPG > shit > Wastelands 2 > Fallout 3> broken unfinished shit = NV

New Vegas isn't that good

>more content

Wow game good then

tldr: just play Arcanum and Bloodlines instead

Are you people just incapable of starting a thread honestly?

Absolutely. NV wouldn't exist without 3. Which is why I'm hesitant to call NV outright better than 3, since isn't that like the bare minimum you have to do when the vast majority of your assets are from the previous game? Even then NV has a lot of issues, a LOT.

Bloodlines is literally New Vegas-tier buggy and unfinished.

But its good. So is Gothic 2.

NV on other hand is KOTOR 2 - game that could have been good, but fell flat

Ah "Soul" the last refuge of nostalgia.

I played Fallout 1 for the first time last year. I played New Vegas when I was 13.

Some people prefer to be led by the nose to the next designated funpoint.

When I play retarded, I go full retard. Intelligence 1

Let me guess you thought it was amazing and your eyes are now opened to what games should be.
Doubt.

No but it made me realise what the original appeal of Fallout games were, and why the 3D FPS games feel so confused in design and aesthetics

>user makes claim NV isn't that good
> Shows it is Yea Forumss favorite game

You made anons point for him.
Congrats I guess.

Jesus, the absolute state of this board.

Is Fallout 2 the game where there's a character who, if you have an INT stat over 3, is a complete idiot, but if you have an INT stat lower than 3, he's one of the most well spoken characters in the game?

>Fallout 2 wasn't even that post apocalypse tier
>it was more like a post post-apocalypse, with his own things, and so on
>New Vegas remained true to that
>Bethesda didn't understand shit about it, and we're stuck with "le 50's/everything made of junk/post apocalypse" meme world

On the bright side, 76 did irreversible damage to the brand. Fallout can rest easy now.

>76 did irreversible damage to the brand.
>implying
they are gonna make another trash tier fallout single player, and the mainstream will gobble it up.

You're underestimating how much of a flop 76 was.

You're underestimating how stupid people are.

Fallout 3 considering immersion and atmosphere and details is million times better than NV. It actually feels like a place its supposed to be.

NV is plain and simple a litteral attempt to copy FO2, along with its factions and tropes- unoriginal in most things, and whats worse: unfinished. The world is empty and most locations very plain and overall it does not feel at all like a place it supposed to portray, but a parody game.

Wasteland 2 is not FO, but its still did better job being true to what FO1-2 were.

ATOM RPG, despite unrelated setting, is absolutely faithful to ACTUAL Fallout spirit, not just copies its ui/gameplay.

NV positive responce when it released was because of two reasons solely: it was actual update to FO3, improving some of its systems, mainly combat and Perk system. It was nostalgia since Nevada felt like call back to original Fallout. Too bad, the game still was nothing of original, but just FO3 with different skin and less content and no immersion.

1 is a must play
play 2 if you enjoyed 1

I didn't like 3/New Vegas because they seemed like games designed around FPS mechanics but with terrible level design ill-suited to an FPS. I've heard Fallout 4 does a much better job in this regard. Any truth to this? Haven't played it

M8 come the fuck on. You know for a fact once they show TES 6 everyone will forget fallout 76

>Fallout 3
stopped reading there

It sold around 1.4 million.
That is the potential impact of disappointed fans.
It disappeared like a fart in the wind and is already forgotten.

>Fallout 3 considering immersion and atmosphere and details is million times better than NV. It actually feels like a place its supposed to be.
Nigger, Fallout 3 was literally Oblivion.
With guns.
OBLIVION WITH GUNS.
nothing more, nothing less.
>atmosphere
it was built like a fucking theme park

Yeah.

I played Fallout 1 for 20 minutes, nearly puked because of the combat and movement, and haven't touched it since.

They are both fun games but combat can get pretty tedious after awhile and certain skills and stats are just way too good like agility being high being mandatory due to how combat works. However they really do not make games like this anymore at all so its recommended you don't be a gay cuck and play them.

Didn't just mean the genre man. I meant a lot of other stuff about those games like the writing, the way the first game pretty much throws you into it without a tutorial and even the setting to an extent.
