Every time I look at gameplay of Fallout games it looks clunky and incredibly boring. Granted, the story looks OK and the choices are nice but if the gameplay sucks I dont think I can get behind it.

If you like tactical turn-based, you'll like the first two at least.

Interesting. I do actually like tactical turn based games. Im looking at it as an FPS game. Should I not look at it like that or were the first 2 games fundamentally different?

The first 2 are completely different, made by different company. FO3 & onward are the FPS ones.

They're isometric RPGs. Most actions are realtime, but when you trigger combat, either via something becoming aggressive at you, or you yourself just turning it on, it becomes turn-based combat on a hexagonal grid.

Also the second game has a shitty tutorial level to start with, but it's over very quickly.

If you play Fallout 3/NV/4 like a shooter you can only get so far; thats where the RPG aspects come in.

I also had a similar dilemma where I was intimidated by Fallout because I had no idea what type of games I was looking at, but theyre a lot simpler than they appear.

You can totally play 3 and 4 like a shooter tho

You can absolutely beat 3 just by playing it as a shooter. You won't see as much content, but I feel like someone playing it as a shooter wouldn't care much.

really wish they'd remaster Fallout 1+2 and Tactics, but Bethesda doesn't care about Fallout unless they made it

Fallout 3 has some guns that are fairly mediocre in FPS mode that can utterly destroy in V.A.T.S./with the right build and no native ADS, so thats why I mentioned your mileage may vary with it solely as a shooter

That V.A.T.S thing just looks like some auto aim garbage to me that really annoys me to look at. I think I heard someone say that its better to use that system instead of aiming which is a massive turnoff to me. That just makes the game look incredibly more clunky than it originally was. If I play an FPS game, I want it to be an FPS. If it sucks at that, then I can probably find a much better RPG to play.

Sounds like you weren't interested in this game to begin with

It's an action RPG played from a first or third-person perspective. Is GTA V a FPS just because you can play it like one? Either play it or don't, but nobody can sell you on the game any more than already has been done here

4 has great gameplay imo, but lackluster RPG elements, whereas 3 and New Vegas are definitely dated and clunky, but are better RPGs. i've been really enjoying my explosive cannibal playthrough of New Vegas recently

You might like the first two games, though their archaic-ass controls take some getting used to. There aren't a ton of tactics involved though, it's a turn-based RPG.

TC: I hear it's like a generic FPS game.
Also TC on the VATS system: That seems like RPG stuff. If I can't play it like a generic FPS, I'm not interested.

I flipping love the Fallout series. Just try it - if for no other reason than to (from 3 on) listen to the banger of a soundtrack while you play.

Also, NV is fun as hell despite the half dozen times I've played it. The outcome is never the same, you meet all kinds of other characters and choose how your character is known.

I played about half an hour of New Vegas. Couldn't get into it.

Granted, that's obviously not a huge amount of time and I'll probably give it a better shot at some point, but my first impression wasn't great.

The entire series is RPG. None of them are FPS. The modern ones are in first person but they aren't shooters. They just happen to have guns available.

I tried to play FO1 but it was really hard to get into. I figured out a trick that if you have just enough barter in the beginning, you can drain all the available shops of most of their bottlecaps.

I know you guys keep harping on me calling it an FPS and saying its an RPG but that doesnt change the fact that the gameplay looks boring and clunky. Im not against RPGs at all. RPGs need to still have fun gameplay. Fallouts gameplay looks boring. Hell, the difficulty looks low as well. Its just not appealing to me.

There's Cazadore canyon, deathclaw valley, or the boring and relatively safe story advised scenic route.
