Fallout 2

So is everyone going to ignore the fact that, in order to even get past the beginning, only one type of build will work? If you aren't a melee or unarmed combat specialist, expect to die repeatedly in the beginning segment even on the easiest difficulty. It doesn't matter how much choice and depth there is in the rest of the game if you can't even get past the beginning without using a very specific skillset. The combat is boring and uninvolved, and a much bigger part of the game than it should be. Sure, the dialogue is good. Sure, there are a lot of choices (in theory) about what to do and what kind of character to play. But in practice, it's really not an RPG because if you aren't a melee combatant, you're going to have a terrible time in the first part, because all of the gun type stats are pretty significantly lowered compared to the melee stats (especially unarmed), and you start out with a cruddy little spear that, if you didn't choose melee combat as one of your tag skills, has an average chance of about 20% to hit. I can't honestly recommend this as a true RPG because of that. If you like luck based combat that never favors you, and you like using melee characters, I guess this is an okay choice. But if you want a genuine RPG, either look for a save editor, or a different game.

Injouable de nos jours à cause de sa prise en main archaïque et ultra contraignante. Le tour par tour ça vieillit décidément très mal. Sans parler du chrono qui défile, nous obligeant à finir le jeu en 155 jours...Hey c'est un rpg, pourquoi on devrait se presser ? Je n'aime pas, c'est nul !

After spending more than a day picking a new "old" game to try, I tried Fallout 2 due to it's high ratings overall. The reality is the game started with no tutorial which was frustrating. However, the biggest reason I have already stopped playing is what is the deal with the camera/map. You have to walk into rooms in the map, and the camera can not be rotated, so the game decides to just reveal a small section of the blocked portion as you walk into the room. This is insanely annoying to me. I am sure the game gets very fun as you progress, but I absolutely can't deal with the non-rotating camera issue. The combat system is also lacking. This game may have been great for many of the reasons other reviewers have found, but I don't even want to play it past five minutes.

Fallout 2 on GOG had a Mac OS version before. Was it removed?

Same garbage tier as F4 and BoS .....not even close to touching F1
