Additionally, Fallout 76 and the Obsidian-developed spin-off Fallout: New Vegas have their fair share of diehards.
Do Fallout 76’s country roads take you home to the place where you belong?
Or is it just a highway to hell?
But did you know those chapters are just the tip of the radioactive iceberg?
Indeed, both Interplay and Bethesda have a few more Wasteland tales than many gamers realize.
What’s the tally, then?
Well, here they are!
Lauded for its vast world and combat system, Fallout went on to sell roughly 600,000 copies.
A sequel was soon given the go-ahead.
Fallout 2 (1998)
In many ways, Fallout feels like Fallout 2’s clunky prototype.
The first game, while enjoyable on its own merits, lacks its sequel’s narrative punch.
Fallout 2 is also chock-full of pop culture nods and a much deeper character interaction system.
Along the way, the faction launches violent campaigns against vicious mutants and some rather mean-spirited robots.
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (2004)
Wait a minute.
Didn’t we just go over this game?
Did Interplay seriously publishtwoFallout games with nearly identical names?
Yes, they did.
Its art style isn’t exactly in-sync with other chapters, either.
A direct sequel was planned, but poor sales and a middling reception nixed it in the bud.
you could find romance even in a wasteland.
In its first week on the market,Fallout 3sold more copies than every previous gamecombined.
Needless to say, the risk paid off.
Not just because the Argentine Peso isn’t looking any better after the apocalypse.
Available immediately after the announcement, the mobile tie-in Fallout Shelterquickly racked up heaps of downloads.
Fallout 4 (2015)
Of course, the big-ticket item in 2015 wasFallout 4itself.
Sales were predictably phenomenal, and most reviewers praised it as one of the year’s best games.
Not every aspect of Fallout 4 is held in near-universally high regard.
Fallout Pinball (2016)
This exists, yep.
Some journalists we are!
There are tidbits from other entries as well, however.
Just not nearly as many.
Time has been kinder to Fallout 76.
At the very least, Fallout 76 is an interesting volume in the book that is Fallout history.
That said, it’s loaded with gacha microtransactions.
