Fallout 2

It is considered one of the top rpgs ever made and surely it is if it's functioning. But for me apparently not. First I encountered a bug where enemies didn't attack me anymore, so the game became a sandbox puzzle and point and click game. Uninstalled. Then reinstalled and it was fine until a quest where I needed to return to another city for someone. Always crashed, this little journey took me almost an hour due to constant restart. When I finally reached the city and talked to the guy, saved. Tried to reload after, constant crash, the save is corrupted. Other save is in game months earlier. And this is with the unofficial patch which everyone recommending coz it fixes the bugs. What a mess of a game. In a polished state it would be fine, but I give up on this one now.

One of the very best games ever made. Perfect, in so many ways. Unfortunately, this game is not fit for play on modern monitors, especially widescreen. I had hoped that GOG would come up with a fix for these DOS conversions, but unfortunately, this seems to not be the case. RIP Fallout 2.

I love Fallout 2. I was so excited to play it again, but unfortunately, this download is NOT playable. I can't get passed the first part of the game without it glitching to the point where my character won't respond to my inputs. It seems like others have had better experiences. Maybe yours will be better as well - if it doesn't constantly glitch, it's a great game. This was my first experience trying GOG but will probably be my last.

Obviously its an oold game,and there was a time i could have put up with the rubbish turnbased (braindead?) battle mechanics,probably when i was about 5yrs old and was unable to use my brain "on the fly",but after some banter on forum i thought i had to try it..so i did. its worse than the first incarnation imo,least that "was a new thing". Aside from the expected basic/old graphics,it comes across as a hybrid of reading a writers "first book" book and a game of "wheres wally",i can see why theres fanboys,in its day it would have been refreshing to get away from the brian bloodaxes and elites and llamas of the day. unfortunately it isnt immersive enough for me,its own logic seems completely broken from the very start,im aspergic and pretty much everything i enjoy in life has to be based on multilevel logic,fo2 unfortunaterly is bit too imaginative for its own good and often defies any logic at all in the first instance, let alone this supposed "lore",a lot of which is just contrived nonsense. think hubbard ;) ..ie get the fans to yell loud enough and eventually all that noise will force simpletons to believe it,join in and add to the noise and so it becomes what it isnt.. is why im chuffed im aspergic,none of that works on me. :) btw:yelling "autist" etc at an aspie has zero effect lmao,just marks you out as a clone and we ignore clones ;)

What if a bunch of uncreative teenagers wrote a Fallout sequel with tepid humor, shallow themes and poorly balanced combat? You get Fallout 2. Play a modded Fallout 1 and New Vegas.
