Title: S-U-P-E-R vs the world thread: Fallout 2 is the best rpg ever

WATER CHIPS

BOXES AND BOXES OF WATER CHIPS





Also, somebody talented and full of goons got the Fallout rights from interplay somehow and they're making Fallout 3.

Yeah, the guys who made Morrowind are making Fallout 3.

Good luck to them?

On a related note: I have never played any fallouts, though my computer CAN run them.  I need to get around to doing that sometime.

Are we supposed to battle you?  Alright then!  I attack your opinion by stating my opinion that Mario & Luigi is the best RPG ever! >=D

Dragon Quest is the best RPG series.  Also the bestest best selling in Japan.

Dragon Quests V and VI were excellent, and III was good, but VII just wasn't as good.  I hope that VIII brings the series back.

I just hope that DQ VIII gets released here in the states, because if I have to buy the import and an import system I'm gonna be mad, and need a translation of some sort, but I'll do what I have to do to get it.  I actually like DQ VII, I have been learning skills, and getting monster hearts.  I am at the end of the game and only have the last area to get through and I've put in over 120 hours, but know that I have ToS, I'm putting it on hold to play that.

You guys really should try Fallout + Fallout 2, you can get them as a set in a little jewel case for as low as ten bux. Not bad for the best rpg ever.

Fallout? Um, what about Planescape: Torment?

Since I'm kinda murky on what an RPG is...  I will challenge Fallout2 with F-Zero GX.


What?

My 0 MB TNT2 video card can't handle anything. Really, I could run Fallout on my old P200 YEARS and YEARS and capslock ago, but this thing has a massive spaz. blol cheap shoddy technology. Fallout is cool, though. It's hilarious.

But we all know Day Dreamin' Davey on NES is the best RPG, though.
"What'chu got there Davey? I'll be taking that pencil!"
"Hey you big bully. Give it back now"

*RPG*

There is no RPG better than Pokemon.

And theres really no other game that sells as fast as pokemon.


EDIT:Also I believe Bethseda(sp?) which are the makers of morrowind  took the fallout franchise from Interplay  because of Interplay's money issues.

I agree that Pokemon games are excellent, but I have trouble saying that there are no better RPGs.. The most important thing in an RPG for me are characters and the story... And Pokemon is severely lacking in that aspect.

I dunno.  The main character is supposed to be... like... you.  Unless you think you have no character.  Heh.

This probably isn't far off the mark, they even got rats in there
Well this might be pushing it, perhaps Interplay did have a garage sale and stuff

I'm sorry but when it comes to Aurora Engine RPGs or D&D RPGs Bioware owns.

Baldur's Gate & Tales of the Sword Coast
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn & Throne of Bhaal
Neverwinter Nights & Shadows of Unrentide & Hordes of Underdark & Community Expansion Pack

Next up is Dragon Age.

I wonder how much S-U-P-E-R will like Fallout 3 if bethseda(sp?) makes it like morrowind with the long ang long and long periods of running arround before ending up to  someplace thats significant.

They're reportedly big fans of Fallout so I'd wager they won't goober it up too much. I should give Morrowind a try in the meantime.

Well SUPER have fun stabbing rats with a knife at low levels in a FPS perspective wich took me 50 stabs to kill the stupid rat  and i simply  gave up on morrowind. I would recommend it if you can stand the long periods of running in the wilderness. The free roaming is great but however they over killed the free roaming which get boring alot.

In Fallout you had an abstract travel map, I hope they'll add that back in...

I can put up happily with the random battles SoA and FFII, and I've played Baldur's Gate 2 through several times, but bloody hell: the first person perspective fights in Morrowind were too much even for me. Morrowind gets a lot of praise, but I'd say it's a no-go for most gamers.

Worse, they've screwed up the physics engine to a point where finding bugs in the jumping properties of buildings will give you such a huge advantage whilst palying the game. In fact, almost all of that game is a bug (even when it doesn't crash.) Doing bad things then avoiding punishment is just as easy.

The sheer volume of design work that went into the game, however, is enough to make it a spectactular sight at times. I mean, there is nothing in any other game like what I've seen in Morrowind. If they pull their crap toether with regards to their engine, they could pull off a spectactular Fallout title.

Good luck with Morrowind.

Planscape: torment is indeed the best. But I also have Fallout 1 and 2 just waiting to be dug into.  Maybe i'll start them this week...
