Not that it matters to Bethesda though, because that simply isn't what Fallout 4 is about anyway. "We push it visually as much as we can, while realising that we are not making a game just for the sake of having it be the best looking game out there," Bethesda's Pete Hines told me. As an example, he refers to Skyrim, "it’s not meant to be the most stunning RPG ever. That's not the stated goal," he explains. "We want this massive interactive world, where you can talk to people, choose your own path and everything in the world has meaning and is an actual object"."
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.
That's cool. I'd rather have a nice big alright looking Fallout 4 than a small terrible pretty Fallout 4.
Setting expectations now to try and avoid the fallout . . .
Fallout 4 is not about graphic. Jezz, people need to get a grip. Also, I hope Fallout 4 launch won't be buggy like Skyrim. Because Bethesda screw up with PS3 version.
I'm playing Fallout New Vegas for the fourth time on an outdated 360 and the graphics are not even an issue at all! I'm having a blast I must say.
Graphics?!!!!! Has become a fanboys religion.
if the game is on their platform and has GREAT graphics but crappy gameplay the fanboys will ONLY talk about graphics no matter how lame, simple, repetitive, or boring the gameplay.
If the game is on their platform and the game has OK or medium graphics then the fanboys will ONLY talk about gameplay, trophies, exclusive talk, etc, and bark at you with the "we play games for gameplay not graphics".
if the game has crappy graphics crappy gameplay then YOU will be a TROLL for even bringing it up as the Fanboys will just deny deny deny.
so yes Fallout a HUGE and Brilliant adventure game with OK graphics Hmmm sorta just like Skyrim and GTAV will be loved by everyone no matter what platform.
oh and for Gamers sake don't even bring up the fact that the PC version will get a MegaTon of Graphics and Gameplay mods giving it the best of both worlds because quite simply NO ONE CARES about the PC.
Hopefully by now most gamers realize that for games this big Devs may tone down something so that everything fits and you get great framerates.
(unless its the PC but then again NO ONE CARES about the PC)
all in fun!
