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:.

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 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.
