One Reddit user has compiled every quest from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4 and the comparison is shocking.
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.
Wow, now that's an eery coincidence.
Ive not really enjoyed the quest system in fallout 4 its got absolutely nothing on skyrim and also feels like a step back compared to new Vegas 😐
i have said it and i will say it again, fallout 4 was very cheap compare to other Bethesda's games, it was really step back.
Story: FO3>FO4>FO:NV
Gameplay: FO4>FO:NV>FO3
Overall experience: FO4>FO3>FO:NV
Fallout 4 is a very good game and maybe the problem people have is that it is what people expected a Fallout game to be. Maybe they hoped for, but didn't or couldn't know what to expect to be different, a new experience like Witcher 3?
It's no hit on Fallout 4, but my first minutes of Fallout 4 outside the house my immediate thoughts were, "man I can't wait for the next Elder Scrolls!"...
I was already thinking of how amazing ES would look on ps4 and overall I think there's a lot more you can do with developing ES than Fallout.
But people will always complain when something new doesn't blow their expectations...
I have about 50 hours logged so far and I've only progressed the story to the point where I met Piper.
I've spent all my time building up Sanctuary and Red Rocket Gas Station. I've patrolled the surroundings a little as well and hunted down some raiders and monsters.
I've had as much fun in this 50 hours as my first 50 on New Vegas.FO4 does new things and if you enjoy customization then you'll really appreciate the game on a whole new level. For example I mod weapons for my residents and I keep armour and cool looking outfits to dress them up. I design defence systems and strategically place guard posts and assign people to them. I have people collecting junk for me. I have people farming for me. The game is great in ways none of the others were. I don't care if the quests are on the same level as Morrowind because Morrowind had a different focus and had technical limitations which prevented it from doing the things in FO4. These games have budgets and if they deviate from those budgets and lose money that can end a franchise. So, you need to consider that they can only do so much and turn out the profits the investors expect to see. For what Fallout 4 is, it hits my expectations.
