| pokoko said: Fallout (3, 4, & New Vegas) -- I remember being kind of an anti-FPS elitist (like a lot of people here) where I was just into Japanese games. A friend of mine was full-on Call of Duty (the old kind) and I looked upon him with disdain. One day something made me pick up Fallout 3 for PC, though, and it changed my gaming preferences forever. I'm someone who plays slowly and cautiously even when I don't need to do so. I like setting things up in a way where I take less damage or where I can do stealth kills. Not out of fear, or anything like that, but because it adds a layer to game-play. Using a tactical approach lets me kind of immerse myself in the game, as well, where I'm thinking like my character, whereas the gung-ho approach makes it feel like nothing more than a game. I like my imagination to be engaged along with my motor skills. Fallout lets me decide how I'm going to play. That, and the freedom to explore, which I loved even back with old-school RPGs. The first time I played Fallout 4, I found out where I was supposed to go, then took off in the opposite direction. I love that. I've always been a big fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, as well, both movies and books. The world-vibe I get from Fallout is one of my favorites. It's quirky but also bleak and gritty. |
I really, REALLY need to catch up on this series. I own all of them, but I know I'll disappear into each one and get lost for weeks
