Fallout On IGN Top 25 Of All Time

IGN has published yet another top games of all time list, with the original Fallout clocking in at <a href="http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/101/1011624p2.html" target="_self">number 19</a>.<blockquote>Synopsis: <a href="http://uk.pc.ign.com/objects/003/003001 ... Fallout</a>
really had it all: dynamic, believable characters, a quality of
narrative and storytelling too rarely seen in games, and the
opportunity for players to drastically affect how events proceeded. It
was a game that above all else recognized and rewarded the player's
free will. Fallout's fiction and game world were vivid, its character
development system deep, and it possessed an often hilarious
tongue-in-cheek sense of humor. Peering past the post-apocalyptic
science fiction surface, deeper cultural themes become apparent,
echoing notions of humanity's absurd fallacies hit on in novels like
Walter M. Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz. Though games like <a href="http://uk.pc.ign.com/objects/013/013437.html">Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn</a>,
Planescape: Torment and plenty of others are all worthy of the PC RPG
crown, this 1997 release from Interplay is our choice for the top of
the heap.
</blockquote> It's funny that they say Fallout is better than Baldur's Gate II, but then they go and put Baldur's Gate at number 4 D:

I really need to replay Fallout and Fallout 2. Playing fallout trivia in IRC is getting me seriously into it again.

Negro please, Civ4 is awesome, get with the times.

Civ4 was good as a quotes reference. Otherwise, it got old.

Fallout's like a rockstar, only gains true recognition after death.

Number 19 isn't so bad. It is just a list. And if Fallout "dies" doesn't that mean everybody stops playing it. If that happens than how does it receive true recognition, or did you mean something else?

Fallout 3/Bethesda put the last nail on the coffin of Fallout, I think that's what he meant.

More like opened the coffin and skullfucked the corpse.

Hmm, Vasikka makes a better poitn. Nah by death I basically mean as a reputable franchise. Mothership Zeta was pretty much a bullet to the head. Ah well, still playing the first one.

Well, they're two different games.

I get sick of these lists. Stop praising, start playing (again). Re-release the old Fallouts and introduce them to a new generation. Get the kids hooked on a classic instead of shit like Left4D3Ad or WoWwowW.

4) Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn was an excellent game. I still think Fallout is better though.

The game seemes weird but then so is IGN STILL, I agree with most of the titles they added to the list, just not the particular order of it. But why isnt fallout 2 there? In many ways its better than Fallout it just didnt set the trend that it did.

and in alot of other ways its worse then Fallout 1. Whats your point?

Yeah except that #4 is
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

oh and

Though games like Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Planescape: Torment and plenty of others are all worthy of the PC RPG crown, this 1997 release from Interplay is our choice for the top of the heap.

My point is it should have been on the list.
