Fallout vs Far Cry 1
Fallout
Fallout is world's first post-apocalyptic-themed open world RPG where your decisions and actions actually matter. Although your choices will not change the entire world, it will affect your relationship with the many NPCs in the game. In addition, Fallout made the Hall of Fame when it comes to RPGs due to its incredibly immersive storyline, which is written as you venture out into post-fallout wasteland, meeting people trying to eke out a living as well as hostile enemies (some are also mutated to a certain degree) alike.It's also interesting to note that the game has a really simple S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats system, which consists of (obviously) 7 stats, and a skills system, consisting of 8 unqiue skills, that you can access via your unique PipBoy interface. Naturally, your skill proficiency is determined by the amount of points you invest in them, so basically, you can still use the skills you have despite having just 1 point in it, but the chances of success will be incredibly low. It's not possible to be proficient in all of the skills, so you'll need to decide which skills you use the most.
The Fallout series is perhaps one of the largest franchise to date and it has evolved so much since its conception, but the success that it has enjoyed can be attributed to the groundwork laid by this very first game. In fact, many games owed their open world, decision-driven origins - like many shooters that are associated however remotely to Doom - to Fallout. It may be a classic now but it was a revolutionary game of its time.
But the most interesting thing is that the game is still fun to play. If you love the latest Fallout and have never minded old-school games and their graphics, you should definitely check this game out. It'll blow your mind!
Far Cry 1
Far Cry 1 is the first game of a pretty popular open world action-adventure game. Assuming the role of Jack Carver, a freelance mariner, you find yourself being hunted by the militia on a beautiful tropical paradise of an island. However, things aren't as they seem and soon after, you will have to decide to take out the militia group and its leader yourself or condemn the world to the maniac's nefarious plans.The gameplay - or should we say gunplay - in Far Cry is simply incredible. Being the hero of the game, you'll have access to a ton of tactical tools, such as motion-sensing binoculars, that will come in handy when taking on larger groups of enemies. You can even engage the enemy stealthily or simply ram down the front gate with an armored vehicle and start mowing your enemies down... how you choose to approach your target is entirely up to you! Of course, let's not forget about the large variety of weapons and vehicles that you can use. The cunning AI system that will also force you to constantly up your game as the enemies find weaknesses in your strategy and exploit it in the next encounter.
Not to mention, the game has impressive graphics for a game of its time and the game environment feels so realistic, especially with the gorgeous setting and the amazing shadow and weather effects. If you love open world shooters, you'll enjoy Far Cry... this we can assure you!
