Hey Poor Player's Adam Foster writes - "Forty hours into Fallout 4, I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface, but I don’t feel compelled to continue. There’s tons I haven’t seen or done, but the content I have experienced seems like a series of incredibly safe moves that don’t push the series forward (or in any direction at all). It feels like an also-ran: it’s more of the same, without the novelty and magic, and whether you were into Fallout 3 will determine entirely whether you’ll be interested in 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.
True, I did feel like the conversation system in F4 was kinda "dumbed down" or incomplete, but now there's voice acting. It really improved the game. Listening to your character's voice adds more personality to it.
I'll be honest, I look at this game and New Vegas and don't see a lot of meaningful progression for the series.
yesterday i finished the story mode , and i thought that the game rating should be 7 or 7.5/10 no less or more
the animation is really bad , character movement in first and third person is sluggish , the graphics are outdated but the lighting system is great , the world is less interesting than FO3 IMPO
I personally think the game is spectacular. 9.5/10 for me. Bethesda RPGs are just so well done.
