Bethesda is known for their ambitious games that push the limits of what is possible. Over the years they’ve developed massive yet dense worlds in games such as Fallout 3 or Oblivion. But this ambition they have as a game developer has shown time and time again that their eyes are bigger than their stomachs, for Bethesda, this ambition leads to a barrage of technical issues (that gamers bend over backwards to justify). To put it bluntly, their games don’t run well and gamers tend to look the other way. Other games face intense scrutiny when there are technical issues present, but when it happens in a Bethesda game, it’s “just the way their games are”.
The game looks too clean without it.
Always annoying when articles do that.
I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.
i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.
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
That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game
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.
They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.
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.
I ve been playing F4 for the past week (1sr playthrough) and I have to say that the loot craze is real and addicting BUT man those graphics are dated its like playing a 2010 ps3/360 1st party game...where do i even start from the low rez textures? The stiff plastic NPCs? The super basic rag doll physics? The not so great audio quality?
The gameplat might be fun and addictive but its 2016 and doesnt look the part! I sincerly hope the next Elder Scrols is on a completly new engine.
No I don't give them a free pass I just play their games bc there's usually a pretty limited amount of options for the genres they like to make. I play Skyrim bc I like first person fantasy rpg's w the choice of magic or melee and there just isn't a whole lot out there w those features so I'm limited to these games. Especially on ps4 which is why I'll be playing Skyrim on ps4 regardless of if I rent it or buy it for cheaper. If other companies would tackle this genre then I'd play those...Until then I gta play what I can.
Of course people have. Nobody cared that Skyrim was total garbage on PS3 at release. And people keep lapping it up. But not me, Im not a follower, im a leader type. So i will not purchase anymore of their games until they straighten up.
Not only do their games have technical problems but they are dumbing down their games by streamlining and removing more and more RPG mechanics.
Fallout 4 none of the choices matter as they all lend to "Yes, I will go kill these bandits"
