I don't get it, but thanks anyway.

Gaming_Machine3035d ago

The easiest way to see the difference is look at the middle to top of each comparison video and look at the bushes. They have increased the draw distance of the player's view which means that when you are running around, objects in the distance will be rendered at a further distance, so that it isn't as obvious when they fade into view.

ZaWarudo3035d ago

Oh, okay i see it now. It's nice but not a huge deal for me.

fitfox3033d ago

I didnt see it at first either but then i noticed yeah the pop in distance is much better

Hanuman3035d ago

Nice! Original draw distance was a bit disappointing. Less draw distance means less stimuli to go out exploring. In a game where you can fast-travel to a settlement wich is only 200 ft away, these stimuli are important!

Eldyraen3035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

I wonder if this means my settlement t won't have walls missing from a distance as often? Or if it's still a numbers game for it as just made it large.

FoxyGotGame3035d ago (Edited 3035d ago )

Result! ...I notice the bush in the far distance centre/left doesn't pop in/fade in any more. Perhaps they could do like The Division and allow for certain processor heavy visual effects to be dialled down for better fps performance.

Sure the option would be a benefit to many of us.

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.

bondsmx18d ago

Well, I still crashed like 5 times last night within two hours. So there’s that.

I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

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."

helicoptergirl23d ago

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

Furesis23d ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

Vits23d ago

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.

anast23d ago

They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.

anast23d ago

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.

Good-Smurf23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

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.

MrDead23d ago

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.
