Fallout 4 is supposed to be bloody and violent

Product-Reviews writes: There are some games that deserve the higher rating thanks to their extreme gore and violence, which the majority of gamers wouldn’t want any other way, This includes the likes of upcoming games Grand Theft Auto V and Fallout 4, but it seems some people want to see more family-friendly versions of these games.

Fallout 4 more family-friendly - reducing the levels of violence that the game is loved for would “ruin the series”, which is our opinion and that of most fans we’ve spoken to.

I would definitely not buy Fallout 4 if it were made more family friendly.

zeal0us4024d ago

Fallout 4 "Better with Kinect" and now something the whole family can enjoy.

Super mutant now looks more like Hulk Hogan clones
Ghoulies now look like ordinary humans
Mudcrabs now look like Mr.Crabs from Spongebob Squarepants

All guns have been replace with water pistols, all sharp weapons have been replace blow up balloon weapons. Radiant water have been transform into Soda.

I could keep going with this nightmare but I won't.

Detoxx4024d ago

You almost made me cry

grailly4024d ago

people who like their violence won't even start arguing about the subject and diss it like you just did, a shame really.

I don't think anyone has been asking for rainbow colored baby unicorns, just that having the game do slowmo scenes that follow an eye bouncing around is rather useless.

bambooman5844024d ago

@grailly

You say the eye is rather useless but I found the black humor and overall fiction of that scene more than enjoyable. It's the silly over the top violence that makes the fallout series so awesome. Case and point: Bloody Mess perk.

grailly4024d ago

@bamboo
As I said in a comment bellow, I really enjoy the dark humor, the moral violence in fallout feels good enough, and it's fun. The graphical violence really didn't work with me. Maybe it did at first and after 200 hours I got sick of it, I'm not sure.

I don't mind the bloody mess perk at all, it's the player's choice after all if he wants to see guts flying everywhere.

TheSurg4024d ago

Skyrim was pretty cool with Kinect tho. Worked great for me eventho english is not my first language.

jsslifelike4023d ago

@grailly

Generally, I'd agree with you about the over-the-top violence. It's funny at first, but is ultimately valueless. That being said, firing a Garden Gnome out of the Rock-it Launcher and watching the impact NEVER got old for me. 8)

Ever wonder why GTA, Fallout, Elder Scrolls do HUGE numbers?

Cause they appeal to CORE Gamers who have to wait years to get a time consuming, top quality, Gore and Violence packed SP game.

Do not make Fallout 4 family friendly with some old Kinect/Wiiu pad/PS move CRAP with Pixie dust popping out instead of Blood.

actually make it more violent.

xXBlondieVanHarlowXx4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

"actually make it more violent."

I remember walking into a raider hideout once and seeing decapitated people hung from the ceiling.

I remember slicing people into pieces with a chainsaw :P I also remember nuking an entire city. Can the really make it anymore violent than that? lol

jsslifelike4023d ago

How the hell could having your WiiU Gamepad as a Pip-Boy not be part of the cool-factor? Oh, gawd- wait a minute. A special WiiU bundle with an actual Pip-Boy colored/themed pad? *drool*

Good
There will be more blood..

ZodTheRipper4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

The more blood the better in a Fallout game.

Root4024d ago

Hopefully Fallout 4 will be as viloent as the others

I just wish they would take a risk and let us kill anything...I hated Mayor Macreedy in Fallout 3, when he said "One more step and I'll blow your f****** head off" I was like "B**** please" then I pulled my rifle out, aimed into his head, pulled the trigger and....nothing.....and that my friends is when I found out they had made it so you couldn't kill them. Age shouldn't matter in games like this where it's free roam and you get to decide who lives and dies, you know how many great quests would open up if you were allowed to kill them......mothers/fathers seeking revenge, make it so your more careful in the world and try to make you pay for your mistakes.

They'll never let you kill kids. It's always been very taboo and always will be. To be honest I think that if you want to kill kids in video games you have some serious problems. I personally don't care if I can't kill kids.

Now I do wish they'd let you kill all adults even if they are important. I think they should just make the really important ones extremely hard to kill. But if you can successfully do it then who cares.

But on topic I don't think they should make it more family friendly. However that being said I think they should add a filter in the game like some of the call of duty games do. By adding a filter you've just increased sales because if parents find out a filter is in the game they typically don't have a problem buying it.

vallencer4023d ago

It's a shame you send me a PM but you won't let me respond. Holding conversations with you isn't fun cause its one sided so here this is my response to you sir.

See negativity right there haha. Look to be honest with you I my seem immature you're right but it's the internet and i don't know any of you people so i really don't care. But also they can be your views/criticism all you want but it doesn't change the fact that they are still negative.

I have views and criticism but i try to be polite and look on the bright side of things. Yes there is a possibility that things will suck for each game that comes out but until i know more and see more about a game i keep the negative criticism to myself. I don't just assume that something is going to be bad. I give things a chance.

So if you must call me a sheep because i don't voice my opinion in a negative fashion or because i try to give things a chance thats fine. But since you're the one name calling i feel you're more immature than i am :). Also you really need to learn the difference between your and you're you mess that up a lot.

The V.A.T.S. system was the greatest thing ever made. Nothing like using a powerglove to punch a guy head clean off.

Eyeco4024d ago

It never got old, especially with the bloody mess perk.

How To Solve Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Performance Issue On OLED Steam Deck

Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.

Isn't this a better and easier work around?...

There is a partial workaround that adds the Fallout 4 launcher back  ;to the Steam Deck version of the game. Players need to add “SteamDeck=0 %command%” to Fallout 4’s launch options in the game’s settings on Steam Deck. But it’s wild and not great that players have to do this just to change visual settings while playing on Valve’s portable PC.

Fallout 4 next-gen upgrade woes continue for some PS Plus users

Some PS Plus subscribers can now access the next-gen version of Fallout 4 after Bethesda addressed concerns on Thursday, but others have still been left in the cold.

yup, worked for me a few hours ago

MrDead2d ago

This update on PC kills mods, they still didn't improve or fix the draw calls and if you have an RTX card the game still crashes unless you turn off debris.
So if you mod the game it now looks worse, plays worse, all of your saves are broken and the game breaking bugs are still present.

purple1012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Good work detective

Bethesda strikes again, always thought their games were a tad boring anyway, this was even before Microsoft brought them. Used to quake 3 team arena to death, on an old pc, at the time it was new, fresh, fast paced and innovative, their games these days, are none-of-the-above

Michiel19891d 16h ago

Ever heard of a game called Doom or Wolfenstein, detective?
Also quake 3 arena was made by ID, which at the time wasn't part of Bethesda.

Profchaos1d 19h ago

Yeah I've had friends rebuy the game because the ps plus didn't work and they used to own the last gen version sold off the physical after the PS plus pack included fallout when they got the ps5.

So overall I know ms has likely warned quote a bit from this error.

Barlos1d 12h ago

This game hasn't aged well. I was really looking forward to the update, but I'm just not enjoying it. I never did get on with the settlement building and raiders, and I still don't. I won't be going back to this now.

mkis0071d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Settlement stuff was way undercooked. Too many settlements and QOL updates are needed, and can only be added by mods...which disable achievements. The game does 2 things better than past games: Gunplay and scavenging.

Profchaos1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Have to agree settlement stuff was boring and dull but I loved the game outside of that still do. But next to other games is it's era like witcher 3 it always felt a little stuck in the mid 2000s

anast1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

They aren't really missing much. I've been playing it for awhile and it's just a polished turd. Low effort, hyped up like a full release.

Ha! They messed up the Xbox upgrade.

GamerRN2d ago

It's not messed up. This mode runs 60fps 1440p with ultra settings. If you want to see the other modes, disable 1440p somehow.

anast1d 6h ago

The S doesn't have ultra settings.

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They have and they haven't just download 60fps and ultra setting mod and gane looks great

GamerRN2d ago

And Ultra Settings ... @1440p. It's working as expected. There is a star that states in the patch notes that if 1440p is available, quality mode will stay in 60fps 1440p with ultra settings.

Barlos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Surely not! Bugs with something from Bethesda? Get outta here!

Father__Merrin1d 12h ago

I noticed that performance mode on or off both 60fps which is best mode to use then?

BeRich2331d 12h ago

"On" does seem to perform better too me.
