So you want to do a deep dive into the best RPG game of all time and don’t know how do it in a right way in 2023? You’ve come to the right place, coz unlisted slacker knows precisely what you need to do in the first place.
Here is a breakdown list of what you need to do to run Fallout 2 buttery smooth:
grab original [Fallout 2]
distribution from GOG [latest version 2.
► QUICK LIST ON WHY I THINK SO:
made in golden time of game industry [late 90s] TOTALLY NON-LINEAR INSANE REPLAYABILITY immersive post-apocalyptic setting and overall vibe impressive concoction of RPG and quest genres best soundtrack in game industry, thanks to incredibly perceptive [Mark Morgan]
► HOW ABOUT SOME CONS?
Franchise is pretty buggy due to it’s complexity. But we already have [FIXT]
mod for [Fallout 1]
and [RPU]
for [Fallout 2]
.
One more S.T.A.L.K.E.R. posting if you don’t mind.
Mods and [modern versions]
are nice, but classic [Stalker series]
shouldn’t be forgotten too. Here is a list of classic games.
[Shadow of Chernobyl]
► original first version of Stalker game series [the most atmospheric & my favorite one] [Clear Sky]
► prequel to Shadow of Chernobyl [Call of Pripyat]
► sequel to Shadow of Chernobyl Vivid table, which conveniently represents games from the most buggy to the less buggy.
Is an ambitious project to replicate Fallout 1 world using Fallout 4 engine. Currently game in it’s early stage of development, but location of Shady Sands was already showcased to the public.
Developers intend to redo original voice-over because of copyright trademarks. Moreover they are trying to copy voice aesthetics as close as possible to original Fallout 1. Also you can already preview multiple soundtracks created by [Radiofloyd]
.
As for me, I really like what they are doing, despite the fact that I’m not fond of Fallout 3/4.
I was completely floored by quality of movie atmosphere and yeah, this is true [retro-future-cyberpunk show]
of the 80s, without any strained interpretations.
Pumping soundtrack, marvelous neon illumination with dramatic light beams, excellent design rise quality of the picture to the point where we can safely say “this is classic!”. Glorious CRT monitors, bulky industrial keyboards, cool computer graphics made on fancy new [Amiga]
computers. FILM WAS AVAILABLE IN SUPERB 30 FPS [EAT THIS!

If you like pixel art quests and [cyberpunk]
atmosphere here is a good suggestion: [Technobabylon]
. Game is published by Wadjet Eye Games previously known for brilliant [Gemini Rue]
. In brief: detailed dialogue lines, immersive atmosphere, cool design aesthetics.
Music composer is Nathan Allen Pinard, who is also known for immersive soundtrack for Gemini Rue. So you won’t be disappointed in terms of musical vibes. I think that 50% of game’s atmospere comes from music.
[Solaris]
is the best soviet Sci-Fi movie produced by [Andei Tarkovsky]
. It often counts as direct answer to beautiful and timeless [2001: A Space Odyssey]
by [Stanley Kubrick]
. Although Solaris had far less budget it surely provides plenty of food to the grey matter. Moreover, movie goes even deeper in philosophical aspects than Space Odyssey. So, the film is for those of you who like to think things over.

It's been a while
Finally i'm back
I've lost some markdown sources of the blog, so pretty much everything from May 2022 was restored from scratch
Hope that this will not happen again
[British masterpiece]
that shows corruption and stupidness of top-end bureaucrats and lying propaganda statistics. Films also expose true and forgotten heroes of the time. It also features:
realistic narration very solid acting atmospheric ambient soundtrack ENTRANCE QUOTE FROM THE FIRST EPISODE
As far as i remember i never suggested any book for reading. SO HERE IS [ONE]
. Don’t want to describe anything. It simply must be read by any means. Just wanted to share one of my favourite Sci-Fi books ever.

Brilliant cyberpunk movie with excellent design and atmosphere.

[Nirvana]
is a classic cyberpunk movie with grunge’n’trashy aesthetics of 90s. Despite the fact that film is low budget it delivers agreeable analogue warmth. Soundtrack is just gorgeous and match the topic to every last bit of it.

My favorite game of all times. Thanks to it I’ve learn English [to some kind of degree] and even was almost expelled from university. What a neat memories. I was totally obsessed with deep “in game” atmosphere. Cyberpunk post-apocalyptic stuff, you know what I’m saying and those incredible ambient from master [Mark Morgan]
. Can firmly confirm that modern series of this franchise don’t provide such immersion. As for backdrop music, Mark Morgan in Fallout ½ set quality bar to unreachable level.
