I really enjoyed Fallout, but I think I may believe that Fallen Earth is better.

1. Factions seems really similar to the fallout 1 theme, The Children of the Apocalypse, wasnt there a church group of evil robe wearing humans in fallout 1 named church of the apocalypse. Enforcers sound just like brotherhood of steel. You got yr vistas (farmers) , travelers (raiders), techs (scribes of the brotherhood of steel)  and lightbearers (really similar to fallout 2 martial artists in san francisco).

2. The stats u have in this game is excatly the same as in the fallout games, with the inclusion of willpower and coordination( You got strength,charisma,endurance,intelligence,perception being the rest of em).

3. The name has "fall" in it, and even the ingame map reads "global-tech" (remember vault tech anyone).

 

I really like the post apocalyptic world setting and admire any game that thinks out of the box to create a whole new genre besides the same old fantasy world with your elves and orcs. But i think this game has so many similarities with the fallout series that it is a downright act of plagiarism.

What do yall think , i may be just crazy and paranoid and comparing this game too much with fallout.

 


 

I laughed when you said the game has "Fall" in it. yeah i would correct you HARD but am also not wanting to break NDA. They have said repeatedly however in posts and articles that they are not "The Fallout" RPG as everyone so infamously knows.

if WoW was your first MMO i don't feel you have an opinion here.

Oh my! Wow!

The game has basic RPG stats like Strength and Charisma!

The game is based in an apoctolyptic setting!

The game have Fall in the name!

How could I not have seen it!

It MUST be a Fallout clone!!!

But wait....

It's an MMORPG...

It lacks the same black humor....

It seems to be a game with a very serious tone...

It uses improvised weaponary, unlike Fallout which usually features various firearms...

It seems to lack alien life forms, unlike Fallout which features alien life forms and laser weaponary...

It's combat system seems to be NOTHING like Fallout, which features a turn-based system, unlike FE's tradition MMORPG system...

It doesn't seem to have the perk system like Fallout, or a pip-boy of some kind...

Guess it's a Fallout rip-off. No other option.

Yeah, there's definitely some inspiration there, but it is in no way a Fallout clone/rip-off. I guess you could say, it's as WoW is to WAR.

When they add crafting to Fallout, you would only have the first reason to start a thread like this.

Every game has "factions" so yeah, they ripped off Fallout. Not.

Then they aren't "exactly the same", no?


It also has the name "Earth" in it. Earth and Beyond had humans in it. Omg.. it's actually a ripoff of "Earth and Beyond"!

You're not crazy and paranoid. You're just-

I tried that torrent, worked great, lotta seeders, it DL'd fast. Ran the file to check the vid quality, it's not bad at all. Gonna watch it this weekend, it's been many years since I last saw it. Never woulda had the idea if you hadn't made your list, Thanks!

 Doesn't really matter to me. It's an MMO and Fallout wasn't. Looks like a cool concept. The crafting system really interests me. Seems as though it will make crafting worthwhile and fun. Hopefully it will have enough of a fanbase to survive. I also liked the concept of Hellgate: London which offered a regular offline retail game to play as well as an online MMO with both free and pay options. I don't feel quite as cheated that it went belly up because I still have the offline game to play. May try it because I've been looking for a game with a cool crafting system.

whatever they wrote, people never care to read (or worse, to try themselves) and keep on bullshitting.

as a matter of facts, everything is a rip-off of everything else that came first...
