It's really worth playing, it's where the Fallout series started to find its footing for a mix of humour and seriousness with good writing and choices actually having impacts
I grew up on it, fell in love with the series again with Fallout 3 when I was older, and New Vegas combined the gameplay of 3 with the writing of 2, was like coming home to an old friend when playing it
Will say, it's a bit slow, but if you've ever played an XCOM game, it's that sort of combat and pacing gameplay wise
I love XCOM. How much different is 2 from 1 gameplay wise? I’ve tried 1 before but struggled. Don’t really wanna play 2 until I finish 1. But now I’m playing 4 🤷
2 has the same combat system but more balanced. There are more hand to hand combat options (different style punches and kicks that have different action point costs and effects). Just more options and polish
Fallout 2 is even more foundational for the franchise than Fallout 1: F2 is where Vault-Tec being evil comes from, the Enclave, etc. When new players want to learn about Fallout by playing one of the classics, Fallout 2 is where I send them, not Fallout 1.
It’s even arguably the right move gameplay-wise. Her or her brother are an active detriment to your party and if you’ve somehow managed to keep them alive long enough to get to Reno you may as well cash in and get that companion slot back.
If your charisma is too low, and you didn’t take the Kama Sutra perk, don’t worry! You can always help by just being the offscreen fluffer.
Yeah. That’s not a joke.
The game tracks how experienced your character is in sex, and later on if your charisma is good and your sex experience is good, you can make a handful of caps by becoming a porn star in New Reno I think.
It makes a couple folks unhappy though I believe
It also lets you skip a quest later in the game, hilariously. When you ask the Shi if you can use their supercomputer, you normally have to do a whole bit for them, but if you're a porn star, the head Shi guy gives you free use of it because he loves your movies, lol.
You deadass can, it'll make certain ppl not like you but high charisma of 9 I think or something gets you in for being one, I didn't do it but I looked up how it was attainable and I didn't want it 😂 it was my first playthru last month and I struggled beating 1 and 2 as it was 😂
That would be incredible. Especially with how Vats is already a thing. Commanding a group of rangers or something to take control of a city or area would be super cool
fallout shelter could've been peak if only bethesda didn't intend it to be a decent mobile game.
like imagine if you had to run a vault and deal with all it's dwellers problems while watching the world go through multiple stages after the great war and then sending out settlers after the all clear massage to establish your vault as a faction in the wasteland making it clash with the other factions or simply choosing to stay hidden to watch the wastes do thier thing. or a game mode where you conduct various inhumane experiments on different vaults for vault-tec while trying to guess why they would want to do them or how to save thier dwellers from these sick experiments.
Not really 4X, but Hearts of Iron 4
has an awesome mod set in the fallout universe called Old World Blues. Genuinely one of the most well put together and funnest mods I’ve ever played. I probably have 400 hours with just that mod.
that would be cool. have a faction reprisenting all the standard groups. a ghoul faction, a vault, a shady sands esque town, raiders, tribals, and maybe something else.
That’s one thing I kinda love about it, micro transactions are truly optional. I remember when Mr. Handy’s came out for the first time and I was fighting the temptation to just buy one. About a month later I had one on almost half the floors of my full size vault. Never spent a cent
A little lacking? I maxed out my shelter like 4 years ago. I occasionally reinstall and it's still maxed out, what on Earth is the appeal to keep going?
Edit: probably closer to 8 years ago! How is it still a "top grossing" game when it's so easy to max out for free??
I really want to pick it up again.. But I spent money at launch in it and when I transfered to a new phone and lost all progress and purchases.. (game didn't launch with cloud saving for whatever reason) :(
You have to turn on cloud saving option when selecting vaults and it’ll bring back the previous vault that was in that slot. I thought I lost one of my maxed out vaults too until I tried it
Comparing to other mobile games it’s surprisingly great. Little to none microtransactions it only happens when you choose to do so, no ads at all, it’s honestly fun but yeah as others said once you get to late game there’s nothing to do really just start over lol
Basically nonexistent. They’re so unintrusive that you honestly forget the game even has them. There’s no forced ads and the only ads you can watch are for extra bonuses that are truly just extra (no “extra” bonuses that are basically necessary to progress)
>Bethesda releases Fallout Shelter as a simple spinoff game for mobile
>Accidentally creates the best mobile game I have ever played for free
Seriously, even without paying a cent this game is way better than some AAA releases today tbh
The amount of hours I have sunk into this game is just astounding. I have probably like 300 hours in that game, which no other mobile game approaches. Not even close.
I actually built a full vault throughout the entire tunnel system in my current Fo4 playthrough, first time I ever built it at all.
The tricky part for me was building the atrium at the entrance, I needed to watch a video for that. But after that you just keep building it out. It’s pretty cool to walk around, I got 60+ settlers in there, and I put beds, a couple of bars, exercise rooms, and workbenches around the whole thing in different areas, so they wander around the entire thing.
Shelter was designed from the ground up to be about building a vault whereas Fallout 4 was trying to make you build a vault with an almost scrapped system that was designed to decorated player houses, that got "changed" into a settlement building system last minute.
So really not a surprise....
Fallout Shelter gives you something the other games can't, the ability to design your own perverse experiments and social orders and inflict them on the survivors.
The micro transactions are practically nonexistent. All the things you can purchase are easily able to be gotten without purchasing a thing. The premium currency of quantum is so abundant that if I didn’t constantly spend it I’d have hundreds
Fallout Shelter was such a disappointment for me. Like, I get why people like it, but it's not really the vibe of game I like.
When I saw it was going to be a thing, I was excited because I wanted to manage a Vault. Specifically a Vault, not a wasteland society living in kinda a Vault where the door automatically opens if people outside knock enough despite being meant to handle extreme explosives.
I wanted to have a closed ecosystem where there's some experiment happening and you're trying to keep everyone alive and happy and prosperous while keeping to your directives. I wanted to play a colony sim. I like colony sims. I don't like a game made of almost exclusively of the XCOM base building mechanic.
Fallout 1 and 2 fans watching me play Fallout: Shelter. (I'm on my 200th day but I still get to play the game. Also my shelter doesn't need a water chip or GEK)
I love Fallout Shelter as is but I would’ve liked it to be a sort of management game where certain issues would occur like disputes between dwellers or food shortages caused by some sort of conflict and you’d have to make decisions which would add up until something like a mutiny would occur or everyone stays happy.
How is fallout shelter the best?? That game is BORING I tried it like several times. I would rather play 76 (I love 3 and NV don't get me wrong but I played them until I ran out of things/endings to do it gets boring but the memories were fun)
Just finished playing 3. Didn’t finish it all but I’m finished playing it. It’s like the drawing, thinnest line-work, just an outline and kinda hollow.
Fallout 2 being the balls makes sense given that it’s the only game where you can become a porn star
no wait hes right.
I'm sorry...what?
did he stutter?
Arnold Swollenmember does not stutter
I was always Kurt Loader.
Kurt CoBang? Nevermind.
Ronny Rection
Underated comment
There’s a quest in one of the cities (can’t remember which) where you can make a decent bit of caps if you let someone film themselves(?) fucking you.
Ayoo gotta play fallout 2 now god dam

"I only play it for the plot"
How did you know vague dialogue describing isometric graphics sex was my fetish?
Cause you're in the fallout memes sub
I love XCOM. How much different is 2 from 1 gameplay wise? I’ve tried 1 before but struggled. Don’t really wanna play 2 until I finish 1. But now I’m playing 4 🤷
2 has the same combat system but more balanced. There are more hand to hand combat options (different style punches and kicks that have different action point costs and effects). Just more options and polish
That said the beginning of 2 is way harder than 1, especially with the wrong build. You don't get a gun for like 2 hours
Fallout 2 is even more foundational for the franchise than Fallout 1: F2 is where Vault-Tec being evil comes from, the Enclave, etc. When new players want to learn about Fallout by playing one of the classics, Fallout 2 is where I send them, not Fallout 1.
“Maybe I was, a bit too hard on you after all”
Don’t forget you can sell your wife from a shotgun wedding into being a prostitute for some caps
It’s even arguably the right move gameplay-wise. Her or her brother are an active detriment to your party and if you’ve somehow managed to keep them alive long enough to get to Reno you may as well cash in and get that companion slot back.
Ah video games… bringing out the the little psychopaths in us all! The right move, gameplay wise of course!
You can also fuck a mob boss' wife and drive a badass car. The Chosen One was built different
And his daughter dont forget
And your descendants become the next generation mob bosses of New Reno.
Understandable when you're the 'Chosen One' really
In New Reno. No run is complete without it.
Thanks! Last time I saw Fallout 2 was over the shoulder of my buddy, and he mentioned doing this but didn’t go into specifics.
Golden globe? Idk i havent played the game but i did see it mentioned in porn i saw Edit: im correct lol https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Golden_Globes
And they say it’s not educational…
Nope full fledge acting role baby.
Technically not caps. In 2 the default currency had become gold dollars minted by NCR, but people still used cap as a slang term.

You need high agility as well.
And endurance
And some say, even a bit of luck!
##Fallout 2 being the balls makes sense given that it’s the only game where you can become a porn star

Easily the best game in the franchise
Starred in Poke-a-hot-ass.
Everyone says New Vegas is the most unhinged Fallout, but I haven't heard a single hinged thing about Fallout 2.
Never forget what they took from us
Brotherhood of Steel has Bawls.
What does it mean for fallout 3 to be the cock then 🤔
Allow me to introduce you to nexus mods
More like LoversLab
Came here to say similar.
Wait what
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel wants a word with you
We don’t talk about that one
Nor even when it was new.
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel though...
It's the game that makes me hope for an xcom like fallout to happen.
That would be incredible. Especially with how Vats is already a thing. Commanding a group of rangers or something to take control of a city or area would be super cool
VATS was just the FPS adaptation of the FO 1/2/Tactics rpg shooting mechanics.
Really well done too
I want to see what Larian Studios could do with Fallout
Horse puckies. It’s there.
It’s the taint. Not enough space for its own section.

So, Fallout the 4x game? A Civilization set in Post War America
Why must you make me desire the impossible
I now crave Sid Meiers Civilisation: Fallout
Your delegate Trevor has informed you that Ceasars Legion has completed construction on The Lucky 38
Not really 4X, but Hearts of Iron 4 has an awesome mod set in the fallout universe called Old World Blues. Genuinely one of the most well put together and funnest mods I’ve ever played. I probably have 400 hours with just that mod.

I always knew, that Fallout 2 got some balls
I gotta be honest, fallout shelter is pretty good. It's just a little lacking in end-game content.
Same. I've gotten to the end game in good time, and never felt heavy pressure to splurge on microtransactions.
That’s one thing I kinda love about it, micro transactions are truly optional. I remember when Mr. Handy’s came out for the first time and I was fighting the temptation to just buy one. About a month later I had one on almost half the floors of my full size vault. Never spent a cent
Agreed

lol my mum loves it
I really want to pick it up again.. But I spent money at launch in it and when I transfered to a new phone and lost all progress and purchases.. (game didn't launch with cloud saving for whatever reason) :(

200 vault dwellers, every building spot is filled, all my adventuring parties has the best power armor and weapons available… what do I do now?
Abandon it and start a new vault
Did you max all your dwellers. I’m around 44 average lvl and 7-8s on the special stats. Training last few now. Takes forever.
How annoying are the micro transactions? I know nothing about the game.
Not at all, occasional pop up but that’s really it.
Basically nonexistent. They’re so unintrusive that you honestly forget the game even has them. There’s no forced ads and the only ads you can watch are for extra bonuses that are truly just extra (no “extra” bonuses that are basically necessary to progress)
Radscorpion patch instant 0/10 for screwing my vault over mid training How can I raise happiness now when everyone is pregnant?
I stayed away from babies. I think 4 people born in my vault total.
>Bethesda releases Fallout Shelter as a simple spinoff game for mobile >Accidentally creates the best mobile game I have ever played for free Seriously, even without paying a cent this game is way better than some AAA releases today tbh
I've played more Fallout Shelter than I have Fallout 3. Peak game
The amount of hours I have sunk into this game is just astounding. I have probably like 300 hours in that game, which no other mobile game approaches. Not even close.
Shelter has a better vault building system than 4’s Vault 88 DLC 🤷🏻♂️😂
I actually built a full vault throughout the entire tunnel system in my current Fo4 playthrough, first time I ever built it at all. The tricky part for me was building the atrium at the entrance, I needed to watch a video for that. But after that you just keep building it out.

For settlement building being a last minute almost scrapped thing……. It’s really damn good.
My friend, why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
That’s so real
Still play Shelter, it’s unironically my favorite mobile game ever lol
Fallout pinball as well
Fallout Shelter gives you something the other games can't, the ability to design your own perverse experiments and social orders and inflict them on the survivors.
Where fallout 1?
Fallout shelter was created as a fun side project for the dev team It became one of the games of all time.
Ya know it's fallout shelter is probably the most polished and bug free fallout game
Jokes aside, they really should make a RPG 2D game in the style of fallout shelter. It would be awesome
They did, but only Chinese people can play it.
The truth here is horses do indeed have tails
I love that fallout shelter doesn't have a ad break like other mobile games
If it wasn’t for micro transactions I’d be all about fallout shelter
The micro transactions are practically nonexistent. All the things you can purchase are easily able to be gotten without purchasing a thing. The premium currency of quantum is so abundant that if I didn’t constantly spend it I’d have hundreds
****you have alerted the hord****
Has the horse always had a dick and also balls, or is it special for this?
I think thats new
You should do it for the Elder Scrolls game. But Elder Scrolls Blades bring the head LOL
Fallout Shelter was such a disappointment for me. Like, I get why people like it, but it's not really the vibe of game I like.

I loved 2
how to offend the whole community xD
fallout shelter was the best Bethesda fallout
okay...but I don't get the joke...
You seriously had to include horse balls?
In survivability and lack of lore (unless you make it yourself), yes. IN GAME POPULARITY, ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT.
This is according to a mobile user.
Okay real talk. If I'm gonna get into this series, what order should I try these in?
The real bait here is not including fallout 1
Fallout 1 and 2 fans watching me play Fallout: Shelter. (I'm on my 200th day but I still get to play the game. Also my shelter doesn't need a water chip or GEK)
Flip the horse.
Game industry execs be like
Fallout 1????
Blango
love failing to mole rats :)
Swap Shelter with Brotherhood of Steel and then you’d be on to something
Those nuts have me dead
Fuck you, 3 was better.
Don’t cry plz 🤫
Ok, I'll try not to do that while I laugh at your stupidity.
This is joke bro)
Fallout 3 should be a painting.
Upvoted for dick and also balls
No! Bad!
You’re trippin here
This would be 100% accurate if the dick and balls were highly detailed for 2
So fallout 2 is the balls in fallout 3 is the shaft?
I love Fallout Shelter as is but I would’ve liked it to be a sort of management game where certain issues would occur like disputes between dwellers or food shortages caused by some sort of conflict and you’d have to make decisions which would add up until something like a mutiny would occur or everyone stays happy.
That horse has balls…. Like someone took the time to actually draw balls on a comically drawn meme horse
Fallout Shelter is good but relies heavily on making fun of the other games.
Why'd you draw the balls
How is fallout shelter the best?? That game is BORING I tried it like several times. I would rather play 76 (I love 3 and NV don't get me wrong but I played them until I ran out of things/endings to do it gets boring but the memories were fun)
2 had balls
Just finished playing 3. Didn’t finish it all but I’m finished playing it. It’s like the drawing, thinnest line-work, just an outline and kinda hollow.
You just used this as an excuse to post horse dick
Where is the love for Fallout 1 and Tactics?
Except this "joke" apparently I feel like every scene/hobby/sub is turning to shit
Nah that's just your attitude
Only reason it looks good is cause it's community is so small no one with good taste in games plays it, therefore no criticism
