Eurogamer:
"There's a whole lot of people playing Fallout 4 this week. According to the Steam Spy chap, something like 1.2 million copies of the PC version were sold on day one alone. That sounds like a lot. But why? What makes Bethesda's open-world games so appealing? More than that, why do so many people enjoy the genre?"
A new update is now available for Fallout 4. This update adds the ability to manage your control over graphic fidelity or performance and addresses some further stability and visual issues.
How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.
I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.
Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."
It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder
That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game
The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.
It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.
They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.
I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.
I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.
It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
It's just the simple fact that you can do whatever the hell you want. They give you enough to keep going and going. The new crafting mechanic is perfect for this game. I built a tree house in Sanctuary. Many have built huge Pip boy signs you can see really far away.
Stories are great, but like mmo's, minecraft, etc. They aren't the be all end all of a game. That, and the fact that your adventure will be so different than someone else's. TW3 is one of my favorite games, and they mixed story w open world better than anyone ever has.
But, equally impressive, Bethesda continues to give us a world to get lost in. I don't know if it's possible to ever do both in one game, or not yet, but if it ever hapoens, it would be epic. Unfortunately though, stories do end, and you need a reason to keep playing. In mmo's, it's endgame content. In sp games, its.much more difficult. Thats why my hat goes off to Bethesda.
Damn, and I was ready to give Bloodborne my favorite game of the gen award. Then comes TW3 and F4. Oh, and TESO is a damn good mmo.
Prostitution
Fallout.. Not many other truly open world games I enjoy.. Wouldn't touch GTA with a ten foot pole, lol
