The new texture pack barely offers any incentive to download more than 50 GB of data.
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.
Looks like a tiny bit higher resolution and an added detail layer with scratches, added dirt, rocks, etc... Its something, but Im not sure the jump that most higher end PC owners were looking for. I think what we are looking at here is the lowest common denominator taking precedence. Though, I dont know what more anyone can expect from a game that came out almost a year and a half ago. Its not like Bethesda is seeing any more money from this update. This was strictly fan service and a boost for those who bought the PS4 Pro.
I dont think it will look as bad as people think it will, as if this same upgrade in detail and resolution carries across every or most of the textures in the game... it should look really good. And, lets face it... its not like the games performance was great anyways. So, I dont think they could go too nuts without alienating 90% of the PC population.
I think fans of the game should be grateful that Bethesda went back to this aging title and did this for those who love it. They really see no benefit from doing so. Its their way of saying thank you and we should thak them. I know I, as a Pro owner, am extremely grateful to get the patch.
I think they need a new engine, I loved fallout 4 but not much graphical improvement over new vegas. It's hardly better than the call of duty graphical improvements.
Probably (certainly) get better looking and performing mods.
58gb of scratches?
Basically your downloading all the texture work again from the original game uncompressed which is why the massive download.
But obviously the textures were not much better to begin with.
I would not waste my time,lol.
