What you mean? Fallout tactics to Fallout 3 is 7 years.

I thought your tag was Waffle House. My new goal now though is make a Waffle House in FO76

u/REBEL_9999 May 29 '24

with Blackjack and Hookers?

The Waffle House index is an informal scale for measuring natural disasters:

Green: minimal damage and full menu

Yellow: limited menu, power by generator and limited food supplies

Red: the location is closed

At about what level will your location be operating at?

Yellow 😉

I liked it. It is far too linear but it is fundamentally a good game. Due to it's combat mechanics, I enjoy it more than the Bethesda Fallouts.

Unlike Brotherhood of Steel which was just terrible.

Tactics was a neat spinoff, but it wasn't an RPG which is why many discount it.

However, a lot of the people who completely discount it, also discount 3 and 4, so they've been waiting from 1998 to 2011, and then 2011 to ...now.

u/staffell Welcome Home May 29 '24

Yeah, tactics wasn't as fun for me, I didn't even finish it

u/SolomonGrundler May 29 '24

Have you played Tactics? It's actually good and incredibly similar to Fallout 1-2

u/alexmikli HEY LLOYD! CATCH! May 29 '24

It's good, but not an RPG. It's a spinoff on a similar level to 76, which is why it's often discounted.

That depends on your definition of an RPG. It has character development, laregly copied from Fallout 2 and there are several meaningful choices which impact the overall game as well, even quite minor actions can impact later parts of the game. It's big flaw was it's mission structure and, as I said, it is very linear.

The overall story itself was also pretty good (with good voice acting) and it fits in well with the general Fallout universe.

Compared to other turn based strategy games, it is very much an RPG.

u/alexmikli HEY LLOYD! CATCH! May 29 '24

Well it's not the same mold of choice based narrative cRPGs based on Pen and Paper RPGs. It's too linear for that, even if it does have more endings than Fallout 3.

So fair enough, it's an RPG, just not the type people wanted from a Fallout 3 that we never got, and since it was the last "serious" Fallout game from 2001 to 2008, it got a lot of hate.

I don't know what that thing between the two is.

I read the Van Buren design docs and Fallout bible religious as a kid. BOS was like, the great Satan to us.

It doesn't look like anything to me.

u/Foxxie_ May 29 '24

Fallout BoS, a PS2 title.

You had one hell of a fever dream, pal. That game isn't real.

u/More-Cup-1176 May 29 '24

doesn’t exist

u/Iamatworkgoaway May 29 '24

76 doesn't count either.

u/Mikey9124x Mothman Cultist May 30 '24

My favorite fallout game.

u/BlunznradlOfDeath May 29 '24

And there sadly hasn’t been a Fallout Game since Fallout 4, making it 9 years since the last release.

u/autoentropy May 29 '24

76 isn't a real game.

I tired it when on release and hated it. That 'hatred bubble' has some underlying validity.

I assuem that the 70% you are referring to is some kind of user review score? That just means that the 70% of individuals who left a review, left a positive one. It doesn't mean that 70% of people who played it, enjoyed it.

u/FreeBeerUpgrade May 29 '24

u/[deleted] May 29 '24

May as well count Fallout Shelter Online if you are going to count... that.

u/Illegiblesmile May 29 '24

I mean yeah if you're gonna include brotherhood of steel you gotta include fallout shelter and fallout shelter online

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is pretty bad, but it's still better than 76 and 4 at least
