About Fallout 2

A turn-based tactical Western RPG in which the Chosen One is tasked with exploring post-nuclear California to locate and retrieve the fabled Garden of Eden Creation Kit for their famine-stricken tribe, while coming into contact through branching dialogue trees with numerous tribes, factions and micro-civilizations, each with their own virtues, vices, socioeconomic situations and political agendas.

Combat really hasn't aged well.

I replayed it slow too, it works better that way honestly.

Sérieusement, on continue à le placer si haut sur la seule foi des souvenirs de ceux qui l'ont fait à sa sortie ? Parce que niveau accessibilité, faut quand même le vouloir aujourd'hui.

bon les combats ont pris un coup mais l'écriture porte tout le reste, encore aujourd'hui

On le met souvent face à Far Cry 3 ou Dying Light, mais est-ce que la comparaison a un sens ? L'un vous lâche dans une jungle avec un fusil, l'autre vous fait négocier avec une tribu pendant vingt minutes avant le moindre coup de feu. Ce ne sont même pas les mêmes questions qu'on pose au joueur, non ?

La escritura envejece de maravilla, el combate un poco menos, la verdad.

J'ai arrêté après une heure à cause d'un combat injuste, mon frère lui a adoré... on n'a jamais réussi à se mettre d'accord.

Envejece bien la escritura, sí, pero el combate lo notaste tú también, ¿o solo yo?
