It's kinda weird they picked Fallout 1

That game is probably owned by most longtime GOG fans

 

[fizzelopeguss]

Best game ever.

 

[Booshka]

Awesome, downloading, had to refresh a half dozen times, but it's worth it.

 

[Emitan]

Then they'll get a lot of new members with this.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

Thanks for the info. Will be downloading. One of my all time favs. I still have original guide XD

 

[drizzle]

That's because they want new members, you silly goose.

And it worked, I finally made a GOG account.

 

[Derrick01]

added it to my account but it'll probably be months before I decide to go through it again.

Great game though. People who didn't know what we were talking about when we were upset at Bethesda over Fallout 3 should play this to find out.

 

[Shard]

Still have my account after buying Planescape last year.

 

[Snuggles]

Finally got through and snagged my copy. I bought Fallout 2 awhile back, but not the first one, so this worked out well. I was just thinking about finally playing these games, too.

 

[webrunner]

Anyone know of any like, graphics update or whatever? Just curious. Even if just to make the interface better to deal with?

 

[cackhyena]

It can't be said enough how good this game is. Also, check out the Fallout forums on GOG for links to a high res mod and such.

Checked, found the link...doesn't exist.

But Google comes thorugh.

 

[storafötter]

I feel a bit cheap since I have had a GOG account for 3 years and never made a purchase. However I think times will change now since I like the sound on the improvements. The place has gotten an impressive catalogue and I am glad that they are extending with indies. Machinarium is one of my favourite games these past years so will definitely put my faith in the developers in delivering.
I will soon go bananas on Little Big Adventure and Heroes and Might and Magic series.

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

So how does the GOG version of fallout run compared to the steam version? I have both now and wondering if there's any advantage to one or other strictly in terms of performance (not goodies).

 

[cackhyena]

Oh yeah, i play so few PC games with mods that I don't know where this mod is actually supposed to be put...back to

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Grabbed it. I already own it via the retail Fallout Collection disc, but I might as well get a digital copy.

 

[HK-47]

That's because they want new members, you silly goose.

And it worked, I finally made a GOG account.

Make sure to dl Beneath a Steel Sky and Tyrian 2000 as well.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Added to shelf.

Cheers.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Got it.

 

[BigDes]

I played it

Still don't know what people were upset at Bethesda for

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Looks like I didn't have a GOG account.

Do now + Fallout. Beneath a Steel Sky for free is neat too, another fun oldie.

 

[Eusis]

Marked it as owned. Was smart and went to the account this time after it "failed" and got me an error screen before, I didn't forget the four copies of Empire Earth I got.

 

[RS4-]

Saves me the trouble of trying to install the disc version.

 

[Minsc]

So how does the GOG version of fallout run compared to the steam version? I have both now and wondering if there's any advantage to one or other strictly in terms of performance (not goodies).

They should be identical (that is to say, perfect after modding), both versions you'd probably want to use the high res patch to play in a widescreen resolution at the very least. Nothing wrong with just playing it as it is either, but a good number of the bugs can be patched out if you want to. I have links to instructions and the common patches here.

 

[Sajjaja]

Sweet! Always wanted to play it. I just noticed after I created an account that they give you a bunch of free games already, most notably Beneath a Steel Sky. That's freaking awesome.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Fargo should link to this through the WL2 page, great free advertising.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Looks like I didn't have a GOG account.

Do now + Borderlands. Beneath a Steel Sky for free is neat too, another fun oldie.

Borderlands is on GOG?

 

[Metroidvania]

Fuuuuu, 404'd.

Didn't think GoG would be getting this hammered.

Edit: Whoo, got it.

 

[walking fiend]

MAAAN! After so much refreshes, I found out I already had bought it

Well, awesome as always nonetheless!

edit: GoG is working fine btw, it was my torrent downloading... all to add up the cry

 

[Anoregon]

Awesome. Never played Fallout, and I just finished BG1 and started into BG2 again, so once I finish that+ToB I'll have another badass oldschool CRPG to Dive into.

 

[twinturbo2]

GOG is down i repeat GOG is down.

I didn't have any problems. Then again, I just added it to my collection and didn't download.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Playing Treasure Adventure Game as it downloads. Wow, this is itching my need for a Knytt like game.

 

[tw1164]

Great promo, got me to go back to the GOG site. I forgot I had an account there.

 

[kai3345]

Hammered


Would it be piracy if I grabbed it off a torrent?

no

 

[Volodja]

Added it to my account for the bonuses.
Well, to be fair, finally having a disc free version without having to patch it in any way could be handy, so that's nice as well.

 

[M*A*S*H]

I have links to instructions and the common patches here.

Very helpful. I salute your effort sir.

Anyone having problems with the gog downloader? It's easier for downloading the extras, but it's just sitting there, doing nothing.

Solved it by changing the compatibility mode to xp sp3. (win7 here)

 

[trw]

I played it

Still don't know what people were upset at Bethesda for

Agreed. Sure, Fallout 3 isn't as good as 1 or 2 but the alternative was no fallout at all and 3 did a good job at creating the world in 1st person. Without Bethesda New Vegas wouldn't exist and that is imo as good as Fallout 1 and 2, especially with the added dlc arc.

 

[Empty Space]

I just booted the game up. Was that narration in the intro by Ron Perlman always there or something Bethesda added themselves? I've never played the game so I don't know.

 

[Sera O]

I have links to instructions and the common patches here.

Thanks for that! I added the game to my account and will be downloading and patching to enjoy this weekend.

 

[kai3345]

Yeah New Vegas is in IMO the best fallout yet.

 

[K.Sabot]

I have the original box right in front of me and I'm still downloading this.

So lazy.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Borderlands is on GOG?

No, sorry. Freudian slip.

 

[dragonlife]

So I made an account to get this... do I really get 6 free games right off the bat? Or is there some sort of catch?

 

[L3E2]

Thanks for reminding me I had a GOG account I've always wanted to try this game

 

[dock]

My first time returning to gog since their 'lol we shut down' joke.

I do like gog's website and account system. I am looking forward to seeing what they do for indies.

 

[SteveWinwood]

So I made an account to get this... do I really get 6 free games right off the bat? Or is there some sort of catch?

No catch. They're just that awesome.

 

[vocab]

So I made an account to get this... do I really get 6 free games right off the bat? Or is there some sort of catch?

It's ok. I know EA and activision corrupted your line of thinking, but they are free for everyone.

 

[dragonlife]

It's ok. I know EA and activision corrupted your line of thinking, but they are free for everyone.

Alice is the only EA game I've had to suffer through on PC with its dumb registration. Other than that, they don't get my money. Activision has nothing for me.

But, yeah, pretty cool that GOG gives you free games.

 

[zoukka]

Yes, playing it for the first time actually!

 

[AndyMoogle]

I just booted the game up. Was that narration in the intro by Ron Perlman always there or something Bethesda added themselves? I've never played the game so I don't know.

It was always there. Fallout 1 and 2 have not been changed in any way by Bethesda.

 

[Snuggles]

Yes, playing it for the first time actually!

Someone should do a Let's Play thread for Fallout, it would probably be enough to motivate me to play it now rather than later. Could be fun.
