I really wish I liked Fallout 2 more. With how much I liked Fallout and how much I've heard people jack off 2, I was expecting Fallout but even better. Instead I got a weird, edgy game where everyone's obsessed with references they couldn't possible get due to the year, some frustratingly unbalanced combat, an intense slog of a world, mostly useless and padded-out quests, and an incredibly unsatisfying ending. There were a few standout quests here and there, plus getting a car was a nice addition that made exploration and backtracking a little less frustrating, but I couldn't find much to praise. I guess the game just wasn't for me.
