An interesting story broke earlier this week about Activision Blizzard CEO Robert Kotick's presentation given to investors. I was surprised to see how many N4G readers were quick to think that a CEO that focused on running a proftable company meant gamers automatically suffer. This couldn't be any further from the truth. In order for a company to make games, they need to have capital. This capital comes from many sources, a very big one being investors. If a company can't fund development for a game, then nothing gets made.
For those that are curious about the reaction the investment community has about Mr. Kotick's insane ideas about running a business, Activision Blizzards stock was recently given 5 Star status and is a highly recommended stock.
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.
