So here's the thing - if you've been holding off on playing Fallout for whatever reason, Steam just handed you the perfect excuse to stop procrastinating. The entire franchise is on sale right now with some pretty ridiculous discounts, and honestly? You'd be crazy not to jump on this.
I'm talking every single game here. From the original 1997 classic that started it all to Fallout 76 (which, yeah, had a rough start but is actually pretty decent now). New Vegas is going for pocket change, and that's basically the holy grail for a lot of fans. Even Fallout 4 with all its DLC is cheaper than a decent pizza right now.
What gets me is thinking about someone who's managed to dodge Fallout spoilers for almost three decades. Like, how? The internet exists. People won't shut up about their favorite companions. But hey, if that's you, more power to you. You're about to experience these games totally fresh, which is something I'd pay good money to do again.
The timing couldn't be better either. We're in that weird February gaming drought where nothing major is dropping, so you've got plenty of time to sink into the wasteland. Start with the originals if you want the full experience, or jump straight to Fallout 3 or New Vegas if turn-based combat isn't your thing. Just know that once you start, you're gonna lose a few weekends. Trust me on that one.
