It's great for seeing the unique armor you find, but your character moves awkwardly and doesn't even look like he's interacting with the world he's standing on. This is especially noticeable in the third-person view. The way people move is stiff and lifeless and is a stark contrast to the rest of the outstanding look and feel of Fallout 3. And then you'll see a person or animal move and be given a reminder that this is just a game. Everything in the world, from the fantastic landscapes to the oftentimes over-the-top personalities therein, comes together to create a believable and engrossing atmosphere. The larger, and far more recognizable, blemish in Fallout 3 that all versions share is the animations. I'd have to say the fallout games were my favorite RPGs on the mac. oh, I can't forget the escape velocity games either. I also had carmageddon, diablo, and homm2 around then. I've played both fallout games probably 10-15 years ago on my dad's performa 6360. Some games just have their epoch, I guess - View image here:. And I spent waaaaay more time in BG2 than could be healthy. Somehow aged graphics are forgivable, but aged interfaces just suck. I had exactly the same experience with PS:T. I'm not a graphics snob, but old interfaces were bad for reasons other than just graphics, and it turned me off. I got both of them together for 5 bucks, but couldn't get into them. Hey! I never even heard of it until I started coming here! I tried playing through the first two but those fucking rats turned me off.ĭon't feel bad, I never played fallout 1/2 either.

I wish I'd played it back when it was new, before I had gotten used to modern interfaces.Ī little while ago I even got the ' edition' of warcraft 2, a game I played extensively when it was new, but I couldn't even play it for any length of time because the interface was so rudimentary, every 2 seconds I found myself wanting to use (what is now) a completely standard strategy game interface function that simply didn't exist. I'm sure the story is great, but the interface and level design will prevent me from ever finding out. I played it for about half an hour before deciding it wasn't worth the time investment. I had the same experience with planescape: torment. Don't feel bad, I never played fallout 1/2 either. Hey! I never even heard of it until I started coming here! I tried playing through the first two but those fucking rats turned me off.
