I Failed At Anime 2022
To be honest my laptop couldn't handle running even something like Prototype or Monday Night Combat or Fallout 2 so I kinda gave up on Steam and never returned after getting a new laptop last year.

There's a bit of a difference between "Prototype or MNC" and "Fallout 2". :v:

I'm not good with graphic requirements.

My laptop couldn't even install Diablo III.

Fallout 2 is 17 years old. If you can't run Fallout 2 you probably can't run modern browsers

Oh, wait, I don't think it was that then.

All I know is that it was a Fallout game that a bunch of friends urged me to play.

Literally know nothing about Fallout.

Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas are good.

Your computer can definitely run Fallout 1 and 2.

Fallout 3 is pretty good too, sometimes I think it gets a bad rap.

I mean Fallout New Vegas is one of my favorite games ever, but that doesn't diminish the enjoyment I had from Fallout 3.

I am super psyched for Fallout 4.

Fallout 3 is probably a good game on its own terms but having played 1 and 2 I'm contractually obligated to be a crotchety old man about the direction they took things in.

EDIT: This isn't to imply you haven't played the original, or that playing the original necessitates disliking 3, just that for me it resulted in disappointment.

I actually haven't played 1 and 2 yet, I should rectify it sometime when I'm not lazy. I even own them on gog when they were giving them away for free.

Fallout 3 is a solid B game to NV's A++++ in my book.

I've tried playing Fallout 1+2 but they were too old and annoying to grab me for long. Then again I don't really like F3 either.

They definitely take some getting used to if you're used to more modern RPGs. The combat, in particular, was never very good IMO.

I still like it though because it's one of the few RPG franchises I've actually felt encouraged to really roleplay in, actively inserting myself into the world and not just talking to everyone and stealing everything. I'd turn down quests because my character wouldn't do them, or accomplish them a certain way in keeping with their personality. In Fallout 2 I decided my character was so mad at a particular band of slavers that he killed them whenever he ran into them, always leaving two bottle caps in their inventory afterwards which I contextualized in my mind as leaving coins over their eyes Greek-style. I also dug how the status quo changed between games with the world moving forward. Fallout 1 is post-apocalyptic, but Fallout 2 (and New Vegas) are probably better described as post-post-apocalyptic with the reemergence of civilization and new societies.

Then Fallout 3 comes along and resets a bunch of stuff. I can appreciate why they thought it was necessary, but as someone who liked how previous Fallout games built off of each other it was kind of a slap in the face.

Fallout 4 seems to be another reset, so I can't say I'm too excited.

Same.

My NNID is SenerioSA, and I play a ton of Splatoon and a little Mario Kart and/or Smash if I'm bored enough. I have steam, but it's my brother's account so I don't really use it that much.

Yeah, added you as well. Probably best to contact me through steam if you want to hit up multiplayer. I've only been playing for a few weeks so I just got to cat beach though, and I'm at HR2 at the moment.

The Ship was mentioned as a fun multiplayer thing we could do. It's on Steam sale for $2.49, if folks want to try it. Maybe we can actually play a thing.

L4D2 contains the entirety of L4D but with bug/exploit fixes and such I think.

I suppose I'll throw my name in and play things with people now and then. Baby Jager on steam. Yes, I misspelled Jaeger, I know, enough people have told me.
