Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel

[Space05us]

Assume that the "World of Tomorrow" display at the 1939 World's Fair became a reality - flying cars, robotic assistants, and self-cleaning homes. Now assume that world was nearly destroyed by nuclear war. That's the world of Fallout.
Fallout takes place many years after the apocalypse, as humanity struggles to pick up the pieces. Some groups have barely managed to survive above ground, either scavenging the scorched ruins of cities or surviving and adapting through mass mutation. Communities that were sealed in underground vaults during the war are now emerging to re-populate the blasted landscape. Striving to organize and sustain the human race, these tattered remnants of civilization are threatened by psychotic mutants, rogue machines, raiders, and all manner of hostile creatures.

Welcome to the wasteland.

In this gritty and darkly humorous 3rd person action adventure, players join the courageous Brotherhood of Steel, whose mission is to maintain peace in the grim post-nuclear world of Fallout. Challenged by hordes of ghouls, mutants and other radioactive nightmares, players utilize a combination of intense combat strategies including melee, range weapons and explosives to fulfill their daunting task of defeating the mutant army in hopes of restoring humanity in a nearly unlivable universe. Life is hard, mutation is rampant and the closest thing to law and order is the fusion-powered pistol that you carry on your hip.

I dont know how long ago it was released but its in the "new" section for x-box games over at amazon.

they're ruining a perfectly good name. Have any of you played it or intend to play it?

[Skanky Burns]

Don't they always ruin names just to make a bit more?
Tis "XCom" or "Deus Ex" syndrome all over again.

I know we shouldn't have too many threads about the same subject at once, but the original bears no resemblance to its title any more:

What has the PS2 Baldur's Gate game got to do with the PC one?

[Spiffor]

Fallout: BoS is old news on PC, and now is sold as part as the "Fallout trilogy" in stores.

I only played the demo, because it was too slow on my previous computer. It looked like a nice game, although Jagged Alliance 2 was more complete. However, it seemed to lack the deep role playing elements and humor that made the first Fallouts that great.

Still, that's a game I wouldn't spit on.

[Spiffor]

Erm, isn't this reviews about a First person shooter?

The Fallout: BoS I'm talking about is a tactical RPG (much like Jagged Alliance or X-Com), where there is obviously no "auto-aim", and no crap like that. I can't say anything about the shooter.

Spiffor, you were talking about Fallout Tactics...and i kinda like that one, less story then the RPGs, but it was fun...

But this F:POS (as it is referred to by Fallout fansites) is something to spit on. A reviewer even referred to it as a cheap BG Dark Alliance mod.

fallout tactics was a lot of fun, and i really liked the different endings.

it had a lot of bugs when it was released, but what game doesn't?

giant robots in a post apocolyptical wasteland.

Fallout: BOS, its not Fallout Tactics. Stay on topic

[Tis I]

then cancelled Fallout 3 and killed BIS for this...
