Fallout vs inFamous
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!
inFamous
inFamous is the first of the many games within the inFamous game series where you was somehow granted super, electrical-based powers after a massive explosion decimated a huge part of Empire City, killing everyone and destroying everything in its wake... that is except you. However, the character you play is the reluctant hero of sorts but as a wise saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. As you advance in the game, you'll not only uncover the true extent of what you can do with these newfound abilities but also the real purpose behind getting them.Aside from the epic storyline and well, the fact that you get to play as a newly-made superhero (again, "of sorts"), inFamous even has a living virtual city that will respond to your every action as well as a lineup of villains that will push your skills and your mastery over your ability to their very limits.
inFamous has amassed a huge following after its release and it's not at all surprising considering how well the game was made. The immersion is simply incredible for its time and the feeling you get when playing the game is just awesome. If you own a Playstation, this is one game you won't want to miss out!
