Earlier today, Game Revolution posted an image of a map of Fallout 4, pegging it at around 145,800 square feet. It seems the site was off. By a factor of 7,000. Yes, seven thousand. Here's our much more accurate look at the likely size of Fallout 4.
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.
Think they said it was a little bigger than Skyrim so Im expecting at 15 least square miles
"See the map below, but disregard its scale. At a minimum, we’d expect each segment of the map to be about 550,000 square feet, or about 1,700,000 square feet as an absolute maximum. At a total of roughly 729 segments on the map, we’d peg the size of Fallout 4 between 400 million square feet (14.3 square miles) and 1.2 billion square feet (43 square miles)."
Okay, I really hate downplaying hype, especially on this site, but this shouldn't be important to consider if the range of their estimate is so large. The maximum is more than than thrice the minimum value. That is a really big range, you can't really deny that.
Oh, if any of you counter my argument by saying the quote says "disregard the scale" it just proves that the author does not know the size and the estimate is practically useless. If you can't make a good scale, how can the estimate be trusted?
Being massive don't really mean much in fallout. Fallout 3 used the same assets over and over again which was plain lazy. What's the point in having a massive open world if everything looks the same bar a few key locations?
Fallout 3 will forever be the most over hyped broken mess of a game that I'll never forget. GOTY became obsolete after F3 won it.
Can't wait for this massive map to fast travel around..
but seriously are we really getting to the point where we are measuring Sq feet of a map. we know its going to be a decent size, im more interested in what's in that size. it could all be baron far all we know.
roll on the 10th
I'm going to try only fast travelling by Vertibird which means a lot of walking in my future. Believe me, that tends to stretch out the map in a big way.
