I played Fallout 1 for like a dozen or so hours.

Got to the Super Mutants Base and then got off on something and never went back.

Didn't get around to 2, but the gameplay wasn't all that appealing to me. It was fine but not anything that made me go "man I want to play more"

Beat 3, which I thought was ok then. Played but never finished NV/4/76. Bethesda as a dev and me dont mix.

yes, went back and beat both after i had played 3 and NV. had a blast. they were awesome games, especially 2, which i waffle back and forth between with NV on which is my favorite game in the franchise.

i like how both 2 and NV took all of the things that were great about 1 and 3 respectively and improved and expanded upon them.
It don't matter. None of this matters.

I played Fallout 3 and 4. 3 felt like one of those games I would only play for a little while each day and then stop. It felt like watching a t.v. series with how much I played it. I played a lot of it just wasn't something I could play for hours and hours. I played 4 and hated the dialogue tree enough to quit. I wasn't also super into the base building aspect either.

I need to play new vegas but that came out around the time I played 3. I have both 1 and 2 but never played them. I should get to them sometime but I've been playing 4 lately and modded the hell out of it which also made the base building a bit better and fixed the dialogue options so I can tell what I'm responding with.
I am that Naruto crap.

I got both when I got into my last little Fallout rut a few years ago, but I never ended up really getting around to playing them.

I'll probably get back to it when I get back into another Fallout hole.

Beat them both. Kind of played Fallout 2 1.5 times. I got to New Reno on my first character, saw there was a boxing sidequest, and I immediately made a new game with an unarmed build.

I've put a couple minutes into both but I wouldn't count it as played. Fallout 3 was where I got my start.
Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Yeah, played em both.

But it was when I was new to the CRPG genre and didnt really understand it, died multiple times to the rad roaches right outside the vault.
I did enjoy the exploration but I just never was able to finish the games. I should just do a god mode cheat and play through them again.

1 wasn't all that difficult outside of the known challenge spots/enemies.

Played the first game recently and really wanted to get into it, but it's just so dated. Had the same experience when I went back to re-play Baldur's Gate last year. Those games were fine, if not great, for the time - but they have not aged well. I'd even add Morrowind to this, as a proper 3D game example of something that just feels super dated now.

I think 1 is an interesting game but has pretty bad replay value. There isn't a lot to do and once you know where to go there isn't a lot of incentive to wander around. Low intelligence build for funny dialogue, a few interesting choices, but overall not a lot going on.

2 is a masterpiece.

I assume that was their first Fallout game. I personally haven't been bothered by any of the games other than the shitty ones (Brotherhood of Steel), because I never thought the lore or world was very serious. I mean Fallout 1 has the telephone box from Dr. Who, Alien spaceship, whacky radiation zombies, just all kinds of crazy stuff. I don't think it's meant to be taken too seriously. Especially not after Fallout 2. That game has some really whacky stuff in it.

And thus their hypocrisy is laid bare. They dont care about preserving whatever the spirit / lore whatever of the game is. They just want to preserve their own personal nostalgia.

I found quite a few games I found difficult when I was younger far easier to understand and get through as an adult. That doesn't apply for things not RPG related to me though. I for sure couldn't play sonic as well these days.

The only Fallout game I've played is Fallout 4 thanks to PS Plus. And I only played it for an hour to check it out. Liked it, but had too many games to play. I'm planning on going back to it soon. The show made me push it up the list and might even play it next.

Fallout 4 is pretty rough and I would recommend *especially* New Vegas but *even* 3 over 4. I'm not a hardcore Fallout fanboy, I couldn't even get far in 1 or 2. But the gameplay loop and the pace of the story in 4 are both really garbage.

I'm not a PC gamer by any stretch, but about 12-13 years ago I wanted to give the original Fallouts a shot, so I bought a collection for my old laptop and tried to get into them.

Fallout 1 had an insane graphical bug that made it completely unplayable; someone hooked me up with a patch that I believe fixed it, but I still didn't go back to it.

I got maybe 5-6 hours into Fallout 2, and was finally starting to get over the learning curve and enjoy it...but then my laptop died on me. I've used Macs exclusively since then, so I haven't had a chance to try them again (I know there's programs that let you game on Mac, but I just haven't been arsed to try them out).
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.

If I wanted to play through Steam are there any essential mods to get it working on a modern system? And I'm assuming with GOG that's already taken care of

I don't remember 1 requiring anything extra, at least not anything extensive.

Not like New Vegas

Similar to Oblivion fans who disliked Skyrim for dumbing it down. Arguably even like Morrowind fans who disliked Oblivion, since Daggerfall was more complex in certain ways.

It would be especially weird in this case, considering that the Fallout show is much, much better written than Fallout 3 (which is about the lowest bar the show had to hurdle, but still).
