Fallout

Obviously, a game that's over 25 years old will show some signs of old age. It is rather short, there are only a few locations and some locations feel like they're only really existing on a surface level. However, there are some great details in some of the quests that are available and those really resonated with me. The world building and atmosphere are also top notch. After falling in love with Fallout: New Vegas, I don't regret playing this game one bit, even if it's rough to figure out some of the mechanics of the game.

I bought it before but i deleted it because of the space of my laptop is gonna be full, but i also have some advices to the people who were concerning: +SUPER F**KING GOOD STORY +SOME MISSIONS, YOU MAY ENDED WITH YOUR OWN WAY (DURING THE STORY, THERE WILL BE A GUY WHICH WILL INVITE YOU TO KILL A GROUP OF MEN, AFTER YOU GOT THE BONUS THAT THEY PROMISED, YOU CAN TELL THIS CRIME TO THE SHERIFF, AND HE WILL GO WITH YOU TO THEIR CAMP FOR CLEANING THEM ALL, AFTER THAT, YOU CAN ALSO HAVE THE EXTRA BONUS FROM THAT SHERIFF, AND IT'S ALL DUE TO YOU!) + BLACK HUMOR (I LIKE THIS SOOOO MUCH) +DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENDS (IT'S A GREAT INNOVATION AT THAT TIME) +HAVE STARTED A WAY THAT YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN UNIQUE CHARACTER BY CHOOSING YOUR PERKS AND CHARACTERISTICS +LOTS OF SIGNIFICANT THINGS OF FALLOUT'S UNIVERSE:"BROTHERHOODS OF STEEL, NUKA COLA, THE PIPBOY 3000, BRAHMIN AND POWER ARMOR." -NOT GOOD GRAPHICS AND VERSION FROM NOWADAYS -THE WAY TO ATTACK IS SO COMPLICATED -LOTS OF NUMBERS OF THE VARIETY OF PERKS MAKE ME FEEL DISGUSTING SOMETIMES -IT'S TOO HARD FOR NEW PLAYERS TO PLAY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE TIME WHEN YOU JUST COME OUT FROM YOUR VAULT TOTAL SCORE: (9.8/10)---MASTERPIECE

Fallout 1 is an amazing classic but not without a few flaws and bugs, it and its sequel are absolutely deserving of remasters so more people can experience the classic adventures but with QoL upgrades

The gamne refuses to start, coming up with "Can't initialise input devices". A shame, I have fond memories, but beware even at this bargain price you may not get a working game.

It seems to me that if you disregard all context, especially Fallout 1’s release date and the fact that it was the first Fallout, and just treat it as „a game” playing it in 2021 it really isn’t that mindblowing or memorable. It’s not bad by any stretch. It’s still pretty good and perfectly playable. But it does not stand out to me as a masterpiece of any kind to last through the ages. Because here’s the thing – from my perspective, unironically, Fallout New Vegas seems to be a better Fallout than Fallout 1. It does more interesting things with it’s base concepts. I would say Fallout 1’s story is competent enough, but really, nothing breathtaking. In fact, I found the resolution of the antagonist’s story to be… a little bit silly? The flaw in his „master plan” was just so glaringly obvious that it stretches my suspension if disbelief that HE himself never considered it. I think Fallout 1 is not particularly breathtaking even compared to other 90s isometric cRPGs. Planescape Torment is what, 2 years younger? And I think it’s not even a contest when comparing the storytelling of the two games. There are many moments I still remember, years later. And Planescape just offers so much food for thought, whereas Fallout 1 does not really seem to do that. It was fun, sure. But it didn’t feel like a „masterpiece”. Overall – I did enjoy Fallout 1 well enough, I guess. But I can’t say I’ve fallen in love with it. Which I guess opens up a big question – should Fallout 1 get retroactive kudos for being the first one, even if I think New Vegas is ultimately kinda better? I think it should. So – thank you, Fallout. I didn’t love you, but I do respect you a lot.
