I picked up Fallout 2 the other day hoping to put some time into it. Man it was like nothing I experienced in the other fallout games I’ve played. I really liked how different of a starter it was.
Ah the good old days of having to use a cd and hoping you don’t scratch it. Along with dial up if you were lucky. Seems like it was so long ago but it really was not.
The modern Fallout games are really good in my opinion (76 being a matter of contention), but the classics have something to them that just hasn't been preserved well in the sequels. They fall apart a little with Tactics (which I actually like quite a bit), but they're really good at defying what you expect.
Yeah, I still remember having to do downloads overnight and just hope that nothing went wrong.
