Fallout sucks.

This was supposed to be my favorite game. It is. The plot is perfect, the battles are perfect, the characters are perfect, the nonlinearity is perfect. Everything is perfect.

Except the very game itself.

Every single task I'm told to accomplish is a "when you get older" task. I'll be able to get the water chip when I get older. And I'll be able to get into the city that contains the water chip when I get older. And I'll be able to kill the guards to that city when I get older. And I'll be able to gain enough experience to kill those guards once I get old enough to join the group that will offer me the battles that can get me enough experience. And I'll be able to join that group once I kill these guys who I can't kill until I get enough experience from killing these other guys.

It's just a chain of never ending tomorrows, when tomorrow ends in 100 days.

Did I miss something? I talk to everyone, I know all the tasks, I know what I have to do. I simply am not able to do any of it because I do 10 damage with a burst fire machine gun and my entire team was killed by a single mutant by punching us repeatedly.

Fallout sucks guys.

You need guns, a lot of guns.  beef up your small arms skill and buy as many guns and ammo magazines as you can afford.  Level up on some easy tasks and try bluffing your way out of  fight occasionally.  You get more XP that way.  The you can blow them away for money and ammo.

Teh Game rocks, you just need to get past your inability to kill anyone.

>>Level up on some easy tasks and try bluffing your way out of  fight occasionally.

There's the problem. I have a very high intelligence and charisma and I can sweet talk situations, but I CAN'T FIND ANY SITUATIONS TO SWEET TALK. It seems like everything demands large amounts of killing or some mysterious and puzzling case which I absolutely can't do.

I have 10,000 monies but can't find any small arms to buy. I went to the gun dealers but all they had were huge guns and lasers which I don't think are even small arms, since I suck with them.

I've leveled like twice so far. I'm astonished at how slow you level in this game. Experience is few and far between and the experience needed is sky-high. It really seems like I can't do anything but wait for the water to run out and go on caravan trips.

Thanks for the advice though. Maybe I'll go 100 miles back to Junktown to try to finish up that gang crap to get a few dozen exp. :(

Ah, playing Fallout as a sweet-talker is basically Hard-Mode.  Sorry

Fallout is overrated. It really does suck.

Your penis is overrated, dude-who-has-a-tiny-wankie.

I liked them, but I don't remember much of the Fallout games except that somebody stole my car, which pissed me off.

OP is correct. Fallout is shit. Combat is slow, (NOTE: I LIKE TURN BASED GAMES) and everything else that OP has said. The fans have totally blown it out of proportion.

fail out boy sucks too

the last doom sux 2; i uninstalled it, after i beat it. movie was much better.

area 51,  could have been so dam kul.

was not

half-life 2, omg!!! actually built a system just to play it,  straight up! a piece a month for a fukin year cause im a poor boy.  HL1 was such a masterpiece!  HL2, though....

if it had any other name!  GREAT!  didnt EVEN live up to it's promise.  they even took our selection of guns away!

Funny thing is, this topic makes me want to play the original Fallout.

is fps?

i dont like the game. at all

i tried to get into it and i just dont like it. its funnys because i liked oblivion. i thought oblivion was a great game. but besthesda dissapointed me this time.

and if all you dicksucking fanboys cuss me out because i dont like the game you praise down to then you really need to get laid

You all just lost The Game. However, some people might even go so far as to say The Game doesn't exist. Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions. However, I have found no porn of The Game. Does the mean that The Game is a lie, like the Cake in Portal? No, The Game can't be a lie, because you all just lost The Game, again, and you can't lose that which does not exist.

Well OP you have a point. It was a perfect execution of a flawed planning stage. To put it simply, that is; I can understand that that single comment is open to criticism...

Play Halo insted, it's rpg elements were so much better even though it's about 10 years older

17 is a faggot

Try locking/unlocking doors and stealing trivial items for some easy XP.

You are not the one to talk, wtf are you doing here?
You stupid tool.

OP, how often in Mad Max did you see someone talk the bandits out of raiding?

fallout sucks, its soooo true!

Yeah, just downloaded it and played it. Everything is fucked up. Was excited when the video's played, looked all fallout, started the game, approached my first rat, took 20 minutes to figure out why nothing was moving - died, started again. Killed about 50 rats, didn't level, crossed a desert (really poor), ran into 6... things. They attacked me twice each, dealing about 6 damage each - dead. Again, still trying to figure out the controls. Get to my destination, kill some rats, get killed by single thing that doges bullets and kills like a pro - Dead, angry fit, looked on internet to see who shares disappointment and hate.

Oh, and 17 is a faggot.

that's real games for you sonny
you gotta figure things out, you die and try again and thus you learn
you're not used to having to make efforts
and you don't know what real rewards are

F3 is a fallout mod for oblivion
they made a game out of it but it has nothing to do with the depth and immersion of the originals (1&2 are very close)

>>31
We're glad you didn't like it coz it wasn't made for premature faggots like you.
>I got killed by pig rats - ragequit

I could never really get over the fact that 5 headshots with a sniper rifle was not enough to kill someone.

>>31
FOR REAL? Jeez... It's not that hard. Do the Vault, leave the vault, go to the school, clear out all the raiders; BAM you've got shotguns, pistols, ammo, swords, baseball bat etc etc before you've done anything. THEN go on with your game.
The game is cool coz not everything is handed to you on a silver platter, and you have to figure things out for yourself.

My advice: Stay far away from from Demon's Souls.

>>35
What level were you? Coz I could kill raiders with maybe 3 headshots tops before I got to level 5.
