For me the best ever survivalist game was fallout. I loved 1,2 and the brotherhood of steel. For me it is one of the best series in this genre!
Played it? not played it?
What do you think?

I've not played 1 and 2 but I'm currently playing Fallout 3 as a friend recommended it to me and I'm loving it. I've tried the first 2 but they won't run on my system I don't think they're compatible with windows 7?

The first two are not compatible with Win7 but you can run them through a little program called virtual box, if you are serious about it Gablinger drop me a line and I will send what you need to do. In my mind its worth it but then I think both fallout one and two are great games.

Fallout 3 is my favourite game ever. Played it through twice and just started it again the other day. Fall out New Vegas is also very good, but the atmosphere, suspense and setting (i.e. the blown up Washington City centre) in Fallout 3 makes it the best imo.

I've just recently started playing it, not doing that good so far but enjoying it all the same, but I guess if I get seriously stuck I know where to come for advice!

It's not too bad once you get into the swing of it, I'm looking forward to playing the first 2 games if I can get them to run and new vegas

That maybe the problem, I never have the time to play it for long so don't get the chance to really get into it.

Once you get out of the vault (the boring bit) it really picks up and does have a strong survivalist feel to it. Also, once you get into the open it's the kind of game where you could spend 3+ hours playing it, or just pick it up for a hour and then go and do something else. I was a good character in the first two runs, i'm now being an evil character.

Totally agree, when I first started playing I was that disappointed I stopped after only a few tries and I only went back to it after a friend told me it gets better, it's like a game of 2 parts, you just have to put up with the annoying first part which thankfully doesn't go on for too long.

 

I instinictively became a good character and have just continued in that vain, but would like to play again as a bad guy just to compare as I imagine that would be quite a different style of game play.

lol well that's good to know seen as I'm still stuck in "the vault" and can't seem to find my way out!

Changing the subject slightly, I'm thinking of writing a top 10 PA Games article, but I feel a bit of a fraud seen as I'm not much of a gamer so any input would be gratefully received thanks. :)

I'll have to get to you on that one, but the general consensus is that Fallout is the best PA game series ever made, but others might disagree?

Getting out of the Vault isn't too difficult, but there are plenty of online guides and walkthroughs for it?

Yeah, if you get stuck on something, just look it up on youtube, there are multiple guides for every single part of the game on there. I do that before i buy games too, i look on youtube and watch others playing to see if i like the look of the game or not before i buy it.

 

As for top 10 PA games, not sure, i don't play loads of different games, i don't get enough time. I haven't played Fallout 1 or 2. I suppose there is a fair few zombie games which could be in the list. Left for Dead 2 was really good. I haven't played Dead Island but that looks really good, prob getting that one next. Fallout New Vegas was excellent too. Will have a think about others and come back.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I've heard good things about Left for Dead 2, I'm going to have to do a bit of research before writing this top ten games article, but I will run the final 10 past you guys before I go ahead and write it.

And thanks for the tip Night Work, I never thought about checking out Youtube, but like I said I'm not much of a gamer.

 

And feel free to hit me up with more suggestions guys, thanks.
