Fallout 4s map is hardly considered giant.

frostypants3022d ago (Edited 3022d ago )

No one said it was. But it's generally considered to be a fair size.

A game map doesn't have to be huge. It just needs to be big enough and contain enough content. Look at Just Cause 3: huge map...but so much of it is pointless.

bleedsoe9mm3022d ago

i don't get why people would rather run a few extra minutes between events , its about content not size . we'll see how the division stacks up after its released .

Psychotica3022d ago

Well it needs to be big if there are flying vehicles to use. I also find it fun to explore and find the hidden items in the large open world.

@bleedsoe9mm

ugh, running or going across the endless nothingness of the maps in Arma, DayZ, and H1Z1, i hear ya on the content is what i want.

sanosukegtr1233022d ago

Fallout 4 and gta 5 is big enough

LAWSON723022d ago (Edited 3022d ago )

I disagree about Fo4, IMO Fo3 had far more content and overall it felt much larger. Fo4 is a great game but the main issue I have is it feels like there is not nearly enough unique places, stories, items and people compared to its predecessors NV and 3. I keep wanting to play the game but I literally feel like I am out of awesome stuff to do after 125+ hrs.

KosherNostra3022d ago

These comparisons are never helpful. One game has vehicles, another has subterranean areas, and yet another has indoor environments. Apples and oranges.

gamer93022d ago

Fallout and Division both have no vehicles and subterranean areas

KosherNostra3022d ago (Edited 3022d ago )

I can't tell if you're saying neither have underground levels, or if Fallout has them, too. If it's the latter, it doesn't change my point that comparing maps (especially GTA's) isn't really helpful.

zidane13413022d ago

They have the metro underneath the city, so yes Division does.

BlahFlahNo3021d ago

The division has sewers and a subway

gamer93022d ago (Edited 3022d ago )

@kosher, yes but he specifically said in the video that GTA 5 is not a good comparison. Did you watch? Both Fallout and The Division do have underground levels and indoor environments, so i think the comparison is a pretty good estimate and gives people an idea that at least the Division map isn't tiny. Which is good news

KosherNostra3022d ago

If it's not a good comparison, then what are we all doing here? Why make the video?

SonyWarrior3021d ago

gta5 has underground subway aswell and indoor environments....

frostypants3022d ago

It's also hard to judge scale or distance, and what liberties devs took with walking speed, perspective/camera tricks, etc.

gamer93022d ago

Except that he very clearly outlined how long it takes to run across both maps – does anybody watch videos these days before commenting on them?? Lol

slinky1234563022d ago

It's just a comparison so we know the size and scope of the game. GTA is added to it cause more people are familiar with it and is one of the biggest maps out there for a single player game.

I think they should compare Just Cause 3 instead of Fallout

frostypants3022d ago

Why? Action game with vehicles and ginormous empty wilderness with almost nothing going on in between populated areas, vs. foot-based RPG-oriented game with map that only needs to be big enough to pack in all of the content (and thus no huge empty wastelands). Fallout 4 and The Division both fall into the latter category.

sephiroth4203021d ago

oh yeah i see your point, i just wanted to know how big just cause was compared to the others, it does feel a little empty at times :(

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ3022d ago

Just Cause 3 is like 8x bigger than GTA V... so why? lol

gamer93022d ago

Wow, same size as Fallout 4 map – that is great news

smolinsk3022d ago

Fallout 4 map was disappoting small, so yes The division map is stil small.

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.

bondsmx1d 12h ago

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

anast18h 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."

helicoptergirl6d ago

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

Furesis6d ago

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

Vits6d 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.

anast6d 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.

anast6d 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-Smurf6d ago (Edited 6d 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.

MrDead6d 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.
