Fallout 3 is what you need, and maybe the DLC's for it. Fallout: New Vegas was okay, but not as good as FO:3 IMHO. I never played 1 or 2...weren't they side scrollers or something like that?
I believe they were top-down games.
I too skipped the series but all this talk has got me pretty excited, so excited that I decided to check out FO 3 on steam. Unfortunately it says that it won't work on Win 7. After doing some Google searches it appears that there are some fixes, however most of the fixes are pretty outdated. Does this run on Win 7? I would hate to plop down $20 only to not see the game function.

Difference being that Fallout isn't lying. Nice try though.
BURN THE HERETICS!
seriously though, FO3's story and "choices" were bullshit. NV was much better, in that it was grey to grey. just like the originals. which were isometric turn-based RPGs btw.
anyway, ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!

New Vegas is a better game but the world never gripped me. The game felt more like a western than post apocalyptic RPG. Fallout 3 got the humanity desperately struggling to survive atmosphere better than New Vegas IMHO.
Yea so grey and so much better...that in the end nothing really mattered much...you either let an insane robot with an army of robots stay in power...or you let an insane billionaire with an army of robots stay in power....or you put a corrupt foreign power in charge...And that was basically the MQ of the game.
Oh yea and all while staring at nothing but barren orange desert that was so....barren...and so...orange.
Yea. nuked DC was a better setting 1000X over visually and in terms of variety.
Maybe I'm weird but I thought the story and setting in New Vegas was lame. I didn't find it nearly as enjoyable as FO3.
I'll be preordering this one today.
NO. Do NOT feed the pre-order BS. Just go buy it on day one.
Agreed. You buy your way. I'll buy mine.Or I can just preorder it and pick it up on day one. I don't give a shit this whole no preorder movement.
Play 'em all. New Vegas had its strengths as well. I'd argue it had better writing and story in it. I liked it more than FO3 although I thought FO3 had the better location. They come together nicely.

When people say junk like this, I question if they even buy games to begin with. The reasons not to preorder mean nothing if you don't pay for your games games anyway, and if you do pay for games you have everything to gain by holding your money until receiving a great product.
Perhaps you should play it a little closer to the chest?
IIRC, you have to make some quick edits of an ini file(s), then it typically works pretty good. I still play FO3 on my Win7 64bit systems. Just save often, because of random CTD's...and I do mean SAVE OFTEN. The random CTD's have been a FO3 feature since the game was released and will happen regardless of what OS you run it on. Gameplay is worth it, imo. Keep an eye out for Steam sales - it's not uncommon to be able to get the GoTY edition and the complete NV pack (all DLC) for under $10-15 each.
This is embarrassing. I have never played any of the fall outs....but I really loved this trailer and want to get it. Will I be totally lost if I don't play the 1st 3? I don't have the time to put in games as I once did...kids and all.
I think 1 was a side scroller..
Why do you give a shit how I spend my money? If I want to preorder a game then I'm going to preorder a game. If I chance my mind I can do so and get all my money back. If the game sucks then its on me for buying it.

I've actually never played any of this, which is funny cause I have played and love Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and all the STALKER games.
I think really it was the gunplay. I saw my buddy playing FO3 on his 360, and the VATS system just looked dumb, and apparently you had miss chance and shit when not using it or something.
Hopefully it's got STALKER style gunplay in FO4. Or have I been misled?

I'll get it out of the way: I really wish Bethesda would long since abandon Gamebryo. I don't get their fetish for it and especially this far out.
The game doesn't look "next gen" per se but it's going to deliver the goods and I'm stoked for it. Likely as not, this and Witcher 3 are going to be tied locks for my personal GOTY.
