mini poll. Fallout Tactics

It's really not a Fallout. It's not a canonic Fallout. But it's a good game! =)

Well, I liked it. I completed it a couple of times. It used to have some bugs as far as I remember... but its a long time ago I played it so maybe there were some patches.

Yeah, the 'fallout' part is tacked on. That being said, i didn't care much.

What I DID care about, is that i got bored half-way through.

It's good. It might be a spinoff but IMHO it's "more" Fallout than F3/FNV (tho NV gets very close to feeling like the good old F1/2).

Pretty much any spin-off series with "Tactics" appended is different. Hence the "Tactics" and the name spin-off. Mostly I see these kind of spin-offs as a way to sell some weirds studios crappy game by putting on a brand (Pokemon: Conquest, anyone). Haven't played Fallout Tactics so I can't judge about the quality.

I've not played tactics myself, I am currently downloading it as I speak. But from what I read from Nukapedia, it's just nowhere near being a canonical Fallout game, so when I do play the game I'm not playing it because of the story. I'm sure Interplay wanted these guys to make a true Fallout game as well, just like they wanted BoS.

But plot shouldn't be the only thing that makes a game good. In my opinion Fallout 3 barely brought anything new plot-wise to the Fallout franchise but it's still a fun game.

Hmmm... Bad game or not - I had a blast playing it years ago. I always have a bit of a problem with people claiming that a game is bad, or good for that matter. We all have different taste. What really matters is that we have fun playing them, right?
