Kotaku:
Fallout 4 was not always the game that we actually got to play. Like most games, it changed and morphed during development—and it’s fun to look back on what could have been.
In this video, I show a few things that never made it into the post-apocalyptic trash collecting game, from quests to alternate character designs, to differently-designed levels.
What I really dig into, however, is something that was teased in a pre-release trailer but that, so far at least, isn’t actually in the game. After digging through Fallout 4's files, I present to you some unused audio clips that give us a different look at one of the most disappointing areas 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
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.
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.
Why would they cut this stuff out if they did lines for it and set the places up.
Even the Robot Racetrack seemed a little unfinished. Just went in there and killed everyone. Not any decent loot aswell.
I felt with the inclusion of crafting on weapons and the random special weapons you could find the unique weapons were dumbed down. Hell most of them you had to buy from vendors...why not just hide them in locations.
Why do people complain about 'endless fighting' in this game, when every single Fallout was made to put you in constant battle?
Skyrim's dlc was exceptional so Im excited.
I can see the combat zone segment being a dlc thing just what I think.
