Where are the floaters and centaurs?

Like Tactics? Found a cool mod for another game that reminds you of Fallout? Playing those crappy spin-off console games called "Fallout"? Discuss here.

I bet it's just mutant slang...

It *could* be slang... eh, an insult, actually. Or then dipping might still be possible at small scale? I don't know. There's no Master, no big boss to run everyone around, but Fallout world is nothing without Super Muties neither, is it? So we either have to get new muties or the ones already existing are immortal. Bleh.

Its an empty threat, like when Bo the Raider says he's gonna stuff you down his pants, or when my mother says she's gonna smack me.

Maybe we should hold some sort of trial first? You know, to keep up the impression of some sort of democracy around here...

I'm going to try and be polite when I tell you they look different from Fallout mutants because they are not Fallout mutants. FoBoS has as much in common with Fallout as the movie Starship Troopers did with the book.

You're right. Let me rephrase it, then:

FOBOS has has as much in common with Fallout as the movie Starship Troopers has in common with Fallout.

How's that?

Hmmph...What is this Fallout:Brotherhood of Steel game? I've not heard much about it but I see I haven't missed anything important...

Is it just a 'hack n slash' (or rather Shoot and Burn) type er...crap that has the name of Fallout? I'm only a bit curious about it but will not get an XBox to try...Besides I don't wanna be burned :joy:

Interplay was short on cash so they whored out the Fallout name to a console title, whose target audience was the types of kids who loved WCW Wrestling three years ago.

Yes it's a 'hack n slash' style game (combat-oriented gameplay, linear plotline, the works). You've missed nothing.

Fallout: Fallout the old turn based RPG
Fallout Tatics: Fallout with a sqaud and no turn based combat
Fallout BOS: Fallout with lots of heavy guns and shooting randomly

They all god damn fun.

Dont say "OMG ITS NOT FALLOUT 3! IT SUCKS!" So what? Its still a great game, deal with it!

Oh, Jesus Christ.

The story of FOPOS is completely unrelated to the stories of ANY of the Fallout PC games; the organizations and events have been completely twisted into something barely recognizable. The West Coast BOS are not a police organization, do not believe in high bodycounts when they get into a conflict, and furthermore wouldn't be doing ANYTHING in fucking Texas of all places. It is not even in the same tradition as the PC games, either. Fallout is a thinking man's game; its not about skanks prancing around, swear words and racism, like FOPOS is.

I. and many others, are not upset that FOPOS isn't Fallout 3. We're upset because it isn't Fallout AT ALL. I personally, would love to see an action game set in the Fallout universe; however, Team Chuck failed to do that.

I've played the piece of shit before, and it isn't "god damn fun", as you put it. Taken on its own merits, its poorly designed and a hard to control game.

I tried to tell you politely to not bring up this subject here. But since you're too stupid to take such an obvious hint, you must be fucking retarded.

As far as I'm concerned, you're gonna get what you deserve.
