Leaked information about Fallout 4 suggests that the game will take place in the Commonwealth, the post-apocalyptic remains of the state of Massachusetts. It's a brand-new location but there may be a few familiar faces there.
The game looks too clean without it.
Always annoying when articles do that.
I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.
i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.
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.
I thought the Commonwealth setting had already been debunked by Bethesda?
Can't wait for this game. I hope it's revealed at E3...
It's a little out there, but I wouldn't mind seeing Fallout take a direction where your character isn't so...pre-defined.
I mean, It's like, with Fallout 2, it doesn't 'feel' right to have your tribal born Chosen One to begin the game with a natural affinity for Energy Weapons.
Likewise, with Fallout New Vegas, It would feel strange to be playing as a "Courier" but having no skill in, say, Bartering.
While not a big fan of Fallout 3 in terms of it skewing with the lore a little, there was a brilliant mod where you can start the game and essentially choose your set up.
You can begin as a Ghoul, not in a vault, if you so wished and left to go on your merry way. Obviously without as much context as there was for starting in Vault 101, but it's the idea that counts. I'm sure there's a similar mod for Elder Scrolls 5.
Again, while not a BIG fan of the game, Dragon Age's "Origin" stories made for a more definitive beginning while having subtle influences throughout the rest of the game.
I think it would be rather interesting in the Fallout world what with there being so many groups and factions.
The risk, I guess, would be pulling it off without making the game feel overly general and "mmo-ish".
I'd love to see FO4 reference your character from FO3.
And Three Dog of course.
I'd like to add Desmond Lockheart to that list. For those who remember, he makes mention towards the end of Point Lookout that he is heading up north in pursuit of one of his rivals -
***spoiler alert***
'If kept alive, Desmond disappears from the game after exiting the underground lab upon completion of A Meeting of the Minds. If talked to beforehand, he will mention traveling north to pursue his next rival, another "player" in the "Great Game," a Post-War struggle between former geniuses and billionaires.' http://fallout.wikia.com/wi...
