Why is 'Fallout 4' Such a Big Deal?

Shaz Mohsin writes: "How does one game such as Fallout 3 have such a huge impact and ability to garner such a large fanbase to create such a massive hype for this game? Does the extreme success of Skyrim (a game I adore) have a lot to do with it? Or is Fallout really that good of a franchise that I simply can’t seem to get into and moreover don’t understand?"

you might want to play the fallout anthology to see that this shouldn't even be a question.

NewMonday3122d ago

FPS+deep immersive sandbox=$$$

nX3122d ago

Did this guy really ask that question while mentioning how much he likes Skyrim? Wow.

PreAtaric3122d ago

If you play all the games then it's possible you'll like the first two better than the later ones, and if so that would make FO4 not that big a deal. I'll wait on the GotY edition for that very reason. It's a big deal for a lot of people though, for sure.

jznrpg3122d ago

I enjoy both , I wish they woulf make a gsme like the first 2 but that was a different company .

GrubsterBeater3122d ago (Edited 3122d ago )

@jznrpg

That different company... Black Isle Studios/Interplay..

They did make another game like FO1 and FO2, it's called Wasteland 2. I highly suggest playing it.

greenisthebest3122d ago

i think that nv was closer to fallout 1/2 then f3

user99502793122d ago

Because its fkn Bethesda. This studio wears player agency on their sleeve. Been a Bethesda maniac since the first time I stepped off the ship in Morrowind. Fallout is an event.

jznrpg3122d ago

Morrowind is my favorite game all time . The end bosd wasmt the greatest but I spent so much time in that game and it also didn't have quest arrows which made for a much more immersive experience imo. Reading notes or taking directions from npcs will always be missed by me. I hppe they hd remake or something like thst someday. Anyway looking forward to Fallout4

hazelamy3122d ago

i love that game, still one of my all time favourites.
it was the first time i played a game that seemed to have a living breathing world.
the hours i spent in that game.

but the loading, at least on the Xbox version.
the interminable loading screens.
far too many of the hours i spent with the game were spent watching loading screens.

if they could remake it exactly how it was back then, but without such long load times, it could be an almost perfect game.

livininsin3122d ago

You, my friend, need to try this on PC. The PC version, especially if you have an SSD, has minimal load times... just a few seconds.

Eidolon3122d ago (Edited 3122d ago )

I particularly found GTAV boring, and Witcher 3 and Fallout 3 were more fun, but apples and oranges.

g-nome3122d ago

All the dialogue can get a bit much , same as with Witcher 3 , just give a me some aliens or zombies to dismember in creative ways.

hazelamy3122d ago

i think you just answered your own question.

it's Fallout 4, that's your answer.

I Have A Confession, I Like The Fallout 3 Green Filter

The game looks too clean without it.

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z6d ago

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.

gold_drake6d ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.

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.

bondsmx11d ago

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

anast10d ago

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."

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

Furesis16d ago

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

Vits16d 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.

anast16d 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.

anast16d 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-Smurf16d ago (Edited 16d 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.

MrDead16d 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.
