Today is quite possibly a day that will go down in video game history; OnLive has launched their mobile app. As OnLive fans gazed at their mobile devices, amazed by the fact that they can now play Dirt 3 and other high end games on their mobile phones, OnLive released three new games to the service and two of them already have touch controls enabled. The newly added games on the service are Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, Future Wars, and A Kingdom for Keflings.
Throughout the years, Fallout has had its ups, downs, and its way, way downs. Just like the wastelands, the franchise is dotted with the ruins of canceled and forgotten games.
Starting today, Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until December 23 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
Just buy the package from virtually any key vendor online. Usually about $2, and you don't need to have Fortnite ads shoved down your throat to access the games.
You also won't have China farming your information.
I would get Fallout 2, but the Epic launcher almost never works for me and I get tired of trouble shooting. Any way I'll probably just pick it up for 90 cents at GoG. Less hassle and I can own it.
Fallout is turning 25 years old today, and Gameover celebrates the classic series with this retrospective that reflects on how the series started, where it has been, and where it might be heading.
Fallout 1 is close to my heart, not only because I experienced it close to its release, but for the weird, still serious tone it had. I was immersed in the world and the first post-apocalyptic games I really liked. Still, can't and won't recommend it to anyone today. Too clunky and technically outdated. F1 should get a Wasteland 2/3 like remake.
I loved the themes and writing in Fallout: New Vegas, the execution of them though was underwhelming to me, mostly because of the limitation they had to work with both time and hardware related. This game also screams for a proper remake.
Fallout 4 was disappointing to me at first, especially how the factions are handled, too many generic MMO like missions and the whole third act which should have been changed/expanded. But still it's my most played Fallout after they added Survival Mode to it, the gameplay and the world is becoming much more intense. Garbage collecting and weapon upgrades make a difference, especially in the first 30 levels. Settlements also become a real save heaven, so after bigger missions/explorations I like to wind down with improving my nearby settlement.
So as of today, Fallout 1/New Vegas and Fallout 4 are my favorites in the franchise.
