Fallout 12

Post » Sat May 17, 2014 4:57 pm

Hello,

I want to buy fallout 1 and 2 on steam (or somewhere else) but I can't find it... They were remove of the store or I am just stupid? Is there any ways to get it?

Sorry for the errors, I'm not very good in English :(

Thank you for help.

I believe you can still find some disk versions at some of the video game stores that still sell pc games. Might have to look at the bargain bin section.

All online copies of it got attacked by a crack team of lawyers deployed by vertibird from Bethesda's HQ...Or something like that.

There's some legal stuff going on with the rights, they've been out of stock since the new year. I really have no idea why it hasnt been resolved by now, but I think it will be soon. If you are desperate to play it you could go for some old stock at brick and mortar stores, or see if someone on Steam has a spare copy.

Here are the pages for them; but they don't seem to be rent-able.

Here it is on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Fallout-Trilogy-3-Pack-Compilation-Pc/dp/B001V9PTVE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399504089&sr=8-1&keywords=fallout

*Be sure to patch the cd versions of the games before playing them seriously.

Here was the official news from gog.com on the day the originals were pulled:

Luckily I bought the digital versions two years prior.

GoG also had the trilogy for free a few weeks prior to the pull which was really nice. Unfortunately only thing you can do OP is wait and see if BGS will re-release them.

I wonder if they are clever enough to try to buy the Killap patch [bug-fix-only version], and incorporate it into the re-release?

Considering how many known bugs it fixes... And they know it... Can they really re-release Fallout 2 with their name on it, with all those bugs?

(Would they seriously attempt to fix them on their own, instead?)

Maybe they are waiting and make a bundle something like the TES Anthology.

I rather have the restoration pack as a free DLC on steam/GoG.

- It would mean that you are not needed to download it.

- That the cut contents put by Killap & Co are semi-canon while the rest of the game is fully canon.

- Having his own game page, Killap team will have separate credits from Black Isles, Interplay & Bethesda, so the newcomer will know it was made by another team.

- Killap is free to update his DLC without touching the main game.

- It opends to for fan-made free AAA DLC like Mutant Rising, Resurrection or Van Buren, or Megamod.

(i insist on AAA mods. They needed decades to be made. They need to be known by every new Fallout buyer)

The three original games are pc only, so everyone will be able to download the DLC.

They don't make money on these DLC as they are free, but the DLC increase the lifespan of the old games, make players enjoy them even more, ask their friend to buy them. So more fans of the old games means more fans of the franchise, means more potential buyers for the new games, means more money.

Also, if the free DLC are downloaded & played well enough, if the comments are all good, maybe they would actually pay those modders to make new DLC, that the audience could, this time, buy for a cheap price.

Considering Beth stated numerous times they were big fans of the old games, this would be a good way to prove it by paying tributes to these great games, these modding tools and the dedication of the fans for decades.

There would be billions of pros and no cons at all.
