I'm not making this up and I archived this just to make sure I wasn't going insane myself in case she rightly deletes it out of embarrassment. I was minding my own business browsing components just as you do and this retarded article popped out at me and yes I'm triggered and yes normies and cat ladies are ruining everything about gaming.
This author is trying to recommend you buy £800+ machines just to play Fallout tactics and she had the audacity to recommend playing that game which most people stay away from generally because Fallout 1 and 2 are the original games everybody plays but what's more ridiculous you could probably play these on a second hand laptop pretty easily.
Do you have what it takes to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your brothers to defend civilisation against the radiated threat of the Wasteland? If so, you’re the perfect new addition to the squad in Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.
If you’re ready to take arms and defend the weak
That's not what the brotherhood of steel does you fucking normie stop butchering the fallout lore
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is the first game in the series to include multiplayer. Get the squad together to go head-to-head against the opposing team, earning points which can be redeemed for critical gear or a new member.
I'm pretty sure any multiplayer for that game is going to be dead, did she even check the servers? It's like she just saw this game pop up in her search feed and decided to write some bullshit click-bait article about it.
As a classic real-time strategy game, Fallout Tactics doesn’t require any hefty PC hardware. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t harness powerful tech to render the Wasteland like never before.
How? How can you 'harness' the power of hefty PC hardware on a fucking 2D game? Explain it to me in a way that doesn't make it out you're obviously trying to trick dumb customers into thinking they need to buy £800+ machines to play a 2D game. I bet she thinks you need a gaming PC to play Stardew Valley as well and probably has one herself.
But wait! It gets even better because she willingly wrote this in her own bio.
Outside of writing blog posts, she can be found wrapped in a blanket with her black cat, engrossed in a book or playing life-simulation games such as The Sims, Stardew Valley, and Animal Crossing.
Ban women from gaming
This is the funniest thing you've ever said. I wish you had the self-awareness to realize that.
GOD AS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKE. IN HALF
I've said before lethn is the most recognizable poster on site by writing pattern (apologies to imp) and I absolutely mean it as an insult.
Lol is he the new Imp? I've been barely present for months
No see I LIKED Imp.
Edit: When I'm on sentence 2 and realize it's this guy I either close the thread if he posted it or skip the comment. It's always an overlong circular Mish mash to say nothing. He reminds me of the quartering.
Go back to ConPro
If you meet one asshole, then you met one asshole. If you meet a lot of assholes, the problem is you.
Better buy a PC with 500 times the memory and 100 times the Mhz.
To render it exactly the same way you did 15 years ago.
Fallout tactics is a great game, but buying a 50bucks ebay special would run it :D
They might still be just following on from the Fallout series hype
Most phones using a x86 emulator would be able to run FT.
Is this a rhetorical question because it's super obvious.
That's it. That's the mystery. Take game that has some buzz, write nonsense piece to try to convert search traffic for "how do I play Fallout Tactics" into sales.
Edit: Didn't realize it was such an old game. Maybe it's renewed "Fallout" traffic from the TV show and just updated a 2001 article to push their current PCs.
Edit 2: There's a whole lot of articles like that one. https://archive.ph/HWFFh (original Fallout, lol). They're all just superficially disguised entry points to their store.
and they should get smacked about for false or misleading advertising.
This is such a bizarre article and over 20 years too late.
Seems like Ai generated articles to sell some pcs, the same pcs would've been shown regardless of the supposed game being written
The funny thing is games that old tend to run "poorly" if at all on anything modern.
It's why I want to see more of what GoG has done with putting in the work to get old games to run on modern rigs. It is easily their most valuable contribution to gaming.
They are ESG and indie game fodder now after they started purging people for wrongthink.
Yes, but there is still value in what they have done in regard to preserving old games. The importance of that effort doesn't get to be hand waved away just because they're now terminally woke. It was important and it needs to be reproduced/continued elsewhere.
Interesting thing is that overclocking is still mostly male dominated.
The sheer irony given older software tends to run worse the more modern hardware gets. Are you sure this isn't satire?
Just to clarify, this wasn't a P.T. situation and PS4 where the game was removed from the storefront and people where paying a premium for PS4 that had it still installed on the console?
As that's the only way this makes sense.
I don't know about that particular situation because I'm PC master race but this article alone has convinced me to stay away from OC when it comes to pre-builts if idiots like her are anywhere near it. It's a shame because overclockers have been impeccable for me when it comes to their customer service. They treated me very well during the lockdowns and very much saved my PC when I was dealing with an RMA so hopefully this is just a typical incident of a literal cat lady having access to their social media when she shouldn't.
Overclock.net used to be a pretty solid place for some info. Bios/UEFI versions and updates can get pretty messy and convoluted at times, and some of the info I got off there probably saved my bacon. Can't vouch for interactions, but definitely had some top tier enthusiast research.
Taking a glance right now, it's possible that activity's been dropping off a fair bit. Not totally dead but might be lingering now. Could have something to do with with the weird forum UI-redesign. That's really off-putting.
Nope tactics is still widely available, It's on Steam and GOG.
No, it's included in Xbox GamePass
fallout tactics minimum specs are a fuckin 266mhz pentium 2
I played it on my 16 year old PC no problems
I’m pretty sure any computer I’ve touched though my 20 years of life could run it with no issue lmao
I never got fallout, but did tactics only use company servers, or could you host your own?
if the latter, the official servers being dead would be irrelevant, lol
