Fallout 2 is good but I wouldn’t recommend it to new players, not unless they’re already familiar with that particular style of old school gaming. New Vegas was alright but had lots of jank and an unfortunately shallow storyline. The rest of the games aren’t worth playing.

My opinion is the only correct one, and I am sure this will end the discussion.

I really loved New Vegas and 3 so I tried to play the original games and since I have never played PC games (don't like hunching over a computer to play) I didn't have the patience for the isometric turn-based stuff. I really would like to have them remake 1 and 2 in a 3D engine.

Fallout 3, NV, 4 and 76 are all fine. They've fixed a lot of the problems with 76 in the past year and it's a lot more fun. I guess I'm not a true fan because I'm not big mad at the Bethesda titles though, so what do I know?

A lot of the hate originally came from the lost Van Buren game. No game could ever compete with the majesty and excellence of this game SO GOOD it could not be released to the public.

IIRC at least a few element from Van Buren ultimately made into New Vegas like whatshisface, the burned guy

I... hadn't actually thought of that, but it would explain the mindset of the people who seemed to hate every game in the series but still considered themselves fans. Just straight up comparing every game to their idolized mental image of what Van Buren would have been like. No wonder they hate every game if they had to compete with that.

Fallout 2 is just isometric Borderlands.

I have given the only true and correct opinion on the Fallout series. Why do you all continue to discuss this after I have spoken.

We've seen your taste in comics, your taste in videogames is equally bad.

Isn't Fallout the only game series where there are "fans" who think all of the games are bad? I know I've seen some people saying that each game in the series is bad at various points (as in, someone says that they hate every game, but still claim to be a fan of the games)

Fan just means you're fanatical about something (literally). You can be fanatical about hating Fallout games.

Fallout:Brotherhood of Steel on the PS2 is, in fact, the only objectively good Fallout game.

No, of course no one actually played the game except me.

I will not provide any further clarification, thank you.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who actually enjoyed Fallout: Tactics.

Oh not at all, I think Tactics is super solid, I kind of wish they remade the first two games in the same engine or at least made a fully fleshed out sequel with more of the branching dialogue and choices prevalent in the previous games.

FO:Tactics wasn't a bad game but it also wasn't the thing everyone at the time wanted which was Fallout 3.

...And the game falls apart on the third Act unless you make a build that can use heavy weapons or you over-invested in the energy weapons to reliably get critical hits.
