Is Fallout good? Or is it so old and punishing that I will give up in 2 hours?

good?
it's the best game ever made

I didn't like it when I first played it. Gave it another chance a decade later and loved it.

It's one of those games that is only fun if you have an internal monologue

I somehow beat the game as a very young kid back in the day. I don't recall anything about it being punishing. You'll be fine, OP.

Fallout 1 is fun and mostly fair. Fallout 2 is complete fucking bullshit in terms of difficulty.

Well, sometimes I get filtered when the controls are so clunky and ancient.

It's fun. Just melt all your problems away. Any weapon labeled "plasma" is good.

Fallout can be hard at times, but it's not Underrail levels of punishment where a mid character is anally raped in the tutorial.
It's cheap enough, I recommend getting it on sale and give it a whack.

It's ridiculously easy as long as you invest in a weapon skill and don't dump your ap

it is so old and punishing that (you) will give up in 2 hours
It's probably good if you can get past that initial hurdle, I didn't.

>>714914043 (OP)
fallout 1 is pretty easy if you just follow instructions and understand the mechanics

>>714914479
learn the hotkeys.
way better than just using the mouse.

I gave it another shot last year after my first attempt at playing the game kicked my ass.
Literally all I had to do was recruit Ian in the first town and the early game became way easier to manage.

>>714914043 (OP)
It's old and shit. There's nothing difficult about it.
Stack agi. Grats, you win the game.

Fucking awful game. Boring locations, boring characters, baby tier gameplay, complete shit.

Yes
>Or is it so old and punishing that I will give up in 2 hours?
So you're a whiny crybaby that can't handle difficulty in games and deem games "not fun" just because they challenge you?
But also no it's not even that challenging

>>714914043 (OP)
It's really great but you'll probably give up early on

One of the worst games ever made and single-handedly made me never ever listen to other people when talking about older games. People have 0 perspective and just spout nostalgia-fueled drivel.

What a fucking dogshit game. Legitimately.
You want old games that are just as fun today as when they came out and are legitimately good?
Jagged Alliance 2, most Zeldas, Max Payne, any Metal Gear, God Hand... There's tons.
Fallout 1 and 2 are garbage fucking games.

i can respect the fact that these old games defined entire genres and spawned a shit ton more games but they're so clunky, boring and primitive.

>fallout 2 tutorial filtered millions

It's good. Just be sure to save regularly, like when you enter a new area or section of an area.
I'd also recommend grabbing the Fallout Fixt patch, which IIRC comes with a lot of bug fixes.

>>714914043 (OP)
i did not beat it i got the guy his water chip and then i dont remember what happens

The worldbuilding and atmosphere is so good that pick related was the most disappointing thing I have ever played when it came out

>>714914043 (OP)
Thought it was Ultima 8 from the thumbnail

>>714914043 (OP)
The latter. And you won't last 2 hours.
