Fallout 4 Pre-Release Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Jedi Exile]

I see the shitstorm is already started. Time to get into the vault, shut the door and load Fallout 1 on my pip-boy.

I'm not as angry / butthurt about this next brutal fallout rape ( compared to my butthurt back in 2004 -2008 ) because since then I realized that Fallout (setting and lore) for me is dead since fallout 2 release, so why be butthurt about next rape?
Additionally, all Kickstarter incline since 2013 and future incline ( AoD + Torment 2 + Clandestine + maybe just maybe scifi crpg from obsidian + cyberpunk 2077 ) makes me almost immune to news like this.

Those kickstarted RPG developers gave you a bunch of Doritos, all we got was some shitty games.

no.

Waiting for loberslab to deliver some nudity/protitution/sexslavery/rape/impregnation/bestiality/defecation mods. An RK47's LP.

I find this highly amusing: http://kotaku.com/the-fallout-4-announcement-has-begun-1708434161

Isn't an announcement, like, a point in spacetime? It happens, then it has happened. It's not a process.

Maybe it’s because people fell in love with the tone and scale of Bethesda’s excellent Fallout 3and their follow-up, the instant-classic Skyrim. Maybe it’s because Bethesda has been so quiet about their plans for the fourth Fallout, only hinting and teasing at a follow-up in press interviews over the past three years. Maybe it’s because we’re all desperate for a big, grand, post-apocalyptic RPG to play on our current-gen consoles. Probably it’s all of the above.

Maybe it's because fanboys never learn. How was Skyrim an instant classic?

 

[pippin]

Did they announce a release date or something?

The funny part is that nothing has happened. Yet.

It's the teaser for the trailer of the teaser for the trailer of a future release date which might be 4 years away.

There's a world outside the Codex, just so you know.

Their relative qualities aside, they are all (the one that have been more on focus here; DOS, PoE, WL2, SR...) still much more like RPG's than anything from the AAA market in the past few years.

Even Witcher 3, for all the things people are glowing about it, feels more like playing a doped up GTA than an RPG.

Fallout 3 teaser trailer was June 5, 2007 so we'll probably see something with absolutely no gameplay 3 days from now.

It instantly made a lot of money.

 

[Machocruz]

Can't wait to try out this new toilet paper.

A world of decline.

17 hours.

I'm so excited!

Seriously, I'm kinda curious. I mean Fallout 4 can't get any worse that 3, can it?

Ofcourse it can.
A game even worse than Fallout3 could actually provide some entertainment value. It could be the RPG equivalent to "the room".

There's going to be some sort of "unlimited resource" like in DA:I and Witcher 3. Probably just unlimited stimpacks but maybe unlimited ammo as well.

Will be interesting to see how much money they put into the advertizing. I still remember the epic multi platform campaign for Skyrim, everywhere you went and everything you watched would have a Skyrim ad somehow integrated into it. I'm also interested to see if they will get rid of the VATS system of shit and just switch to the typical shooter bullet time.

Also calling it now, "Have you seen my mother, she's a middle aged lady?"
"No, you should go see Four Hound he knows everything that goes on around here."

 

[pippin]

It will be Skyrim with Guns.
Even to the point of the NCR vs -insert faction here- conflict (if they actually care of what happened in NV). The vaults will be like the dragons.
In the end, people will buy it for the mods.

 

[Gerrard]

Can't wait to see the stats reduced to Hit Points, Action Points and Stamina.

 

[Makabb]

So how big is a chance that next fallout after 4 will be made by Obsidian ?

People didn't buy Fallout 3 or Skyrim for the mods. Most of the sales were on consoles. People bought them because they had a big marketing budget, and manboons are programmed to like whatever they're told to.

Bethesda’s excellent Fallout 3

instant-classic Skyrim.

Too much bullshit to handle in one post

"Titanium be with you."

 

[Necroscope]

Four Hound

Bethesda thinks Three Dongs is cult classic so I'm sure he's going to return.

 

[Night Goat]

Probably very small, Obsidian is busy making card games and World of Tanks clones.
