There are few series out there that nail the 'lonely wanderer' theme effectively, so it's peculiar to see Fallout 4 open in a world that's bursting with life. Soon enough though, the bombs drop, the world ends and the player emerges from their vault to - once again - wander a nuclear wasteland.
And what a wasteland it is. Fallout 4 really does capture the feel of being a drifting traveller. As you're making your way to one of the many destinations in the Boston/New England 'Commonwealth' of the 2270s, you'll find yourself distracted, lost in the once-civilised wilderness, wandering off to find out what that bright light is on the horizon (it's probably radiation).
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.
"It hasn't learned any lessons from predecessor New Vegas, and aside from smaller tweaks and decent gunplay, there's very little to the core game that wasn't in Fallout 3"
So...like Fallout 3 and didn't learn any "lessons from" New Vegas..
So its a solid buy, thanks lol. If the reviewer thought the last ones needed some fixing, they only confirm to fans that its more of the same and we'll be fine.
Thanks lol. If its not broke...don't fix it, I'd rather they give a new concept a radical shot if they feel they can pull it off. On top of that, what else could they actually do that someone is even seeking?
They want it to be a racing game or?
So a game like COD can come out yearly and hardly no reviewer complains about it not really adding onto anything but Fallout comes out after 7 years and suddenly they feel the need to say something
We can all play it ourselves and make our own opinions ...love it, like it or hate it, every person is entitled to their own opinion, so don't rag on this guys for giving his.
This review is a step in the wrong direction.
Fanboys are mad.
