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

[Metro]

Everyone in this thread will play FO4. Guaranteed.

Think again. Didn't play Fallout 3, F:NV wouldn't run on my comp (some sound issue making the game choke).

If you couldn't run FNV how the fuck did you run DivOS?

I have only played Fallout 1. Haven't even made it onto 2 yet.

If they put in the BFG 9000 then they are in with a chance for 4. I have a soft spot for Doom.
Problem is they will make the BFG 9000 part of a DLC pack and then you will have to unlock it after paying for it.
So I pay them money on top and then they will force me to "work" inside the game to unlock it.


Idkfa will that work?

What's with you and the BFG 9000 joke? You need to get a new angle.

He's really thinking about the BBC 9000.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

The BFG is the ultimate gun so it's the ultimate subject for a gun joke.

Even found that Fallout 2 was decline vs Fallout 1. Kung Fu chinese town? Please. Fallout 2 started the theme park shit.

I think we can all agree that FO1 was a major decline compared to the Fallout demo.

If you couldn't run FNV how the fuck did you run DivOS?

I have an almost two decades old soundcard for music production, not made for gaming, no EAX / "acceleration". Don't know if the issue's been fixed with F:NV, maybe I should try again, but Bethesda's engine is such a turn off.

I run games fine otherwise.

Actually, the comparison between Skyrim and Kingdoms of Amalur has led some to believe that Rolston was the true evil all along.

I kinda doubt it. Doesn't mean that his comparisons weren't bad but even geniuses can make and say stupid stuff (Ridley Scott's abysmal Gods&Kings). Also Todd pretty much layout his design vision in the "Making of Oblivion" video and Morrowind is pretty far from it.

OK, but on the other hand, Oblivion had Rolston, Skyrim didn't.

And then I think back to the description of Rolston in this censored interview: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...cal-of-bethesda-rubbed-out.10403/#post-172709

Sure, Todd comes across as a popamoler in that interview, but Ken seems like a guy who had some weird ideology, which is potentially a lot worse.

While doing my TES video I read that Rolston had a much more off-hand "zen old man on the hill" involvement with Oblivion and Todd took most of the major decisions this time around. I am unsure but I think the Dark Brotherhood and The Thieves Guild had the most involvement from Rolston.

But I fully agree that the man is scatterbrained and probably hit&miss when it comes to making games (I haven't played The Long Dark yet but a lot of people told me that it is really good so maybe Rolston struck again.)

Fallout 4 made fallout 3 and new vegas sales skyrocket

with sales of Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition (digital codes) soaring by a staggering 1322% on Amazon and new vegas 405%

[Rahdulan]

1322% vs 405%?

Unsurprisingly, sales can't cure poor taste.

I almost definitely will; I enjoy the basic Bethesda format. We'll see though - this Shepardization of the main character is really not sitting well with me. Looking forward to more info on that.

And unlike pretty much all previous Bethesda RPGs, a D1P is unlikely on this one.

most of beth fans consider fallout 3 superior because it contains more AWESOME around every corner.

 

[Lemming42]

It's worth, at this point, keeping up hope that it'll turn out to be alright or even get the revered status of "good for what it is", although the trailer was pretty laughable.

 

[Mech]

Bethesda doesn't fix bugs or patch their games (worth a shit anyway) and the DLC is usually pretty garbage. That would be why.

Even if you'd be Bethesda's n.1 fan why in the world would you D1P their games knowing you're nothing but a glorified alpha tester AND a few months down the road you'll have an incomplete version of the game instead of the very predictable GOTY one? Hell, these days I'm cautious with purchases of ANY game knowing I risk not having the enhanced edition that'll likely come a few months later, and with Bethesda this is not even a doubt.

I'm older and wiser now, but honestly Beth games haven't been that buggy for me. I D1Pd Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Skyrim (well - Skyrim was a gift) and they all played fine out of the box for me.
Yes, even New Vegas.

As for GOTY editions, to use the example of Fallout 3, that GOTY came out a full year after the initial release. When I'm hyped for a game, a year is way, way too long to wait.

The reason I don't plan to D1P Fallout 4 is neither because of anticipated bugs nor GOTY bundle savings - it's because watching a Troy Baker movie just isn't a $60 value.

which by that time you had replied to

I would rather pay for the 1 DLC separately that is worth it than wait over a year to buy the GOTY version with a bunch of other garbage I didn't care about anyway.

 

[Zombra]

C'mon. Shivering Isles was infinitely better than Oblivion's main quest, I'd much prefer having it in my package than not if I'd be buying that. I'm not sure about Skyrim's DLCs as I'm yet to play that game for real but I remember they added a fuckton of stuff.

That's all true, but honestly with all of these games you can spend enough hours on them to get your fill without DLC. I played New Vegas Dead Money because I liked the Sierra Madre theme. A buddy of mine gifted me all the rest of the New Vegas DLC for free and I still never got around to playing it. Never tempted once by the Skyrim DLC because after 200 hours with vanilla (+mods) I still never bothered to finish the main quest. I'd rather just get the game and enjoy it now than wait a year for a bunch of DLC I'll probably never touch anyway.

Come to think of it, I bought Shivering Isles later, but I was so sick of Oblivion by that time that I didn't play SI either.

I will not. Fallout 3 was the very last Bethesda game I bought and played. I no longer care for any of the garbage action games they make.

And even if Obsidian does a Fallout 4 game for Bethesda, I'll pass on that as well.

 

[Makabb]

Fallout 3 best game evah

Shivering Isles is worse than Oblivion's main quest. Oblivion is just run of the mill fantasy shit, but SI is fucking offensive. Apparently mental illness means saying wacky random stuff about cheese.

If it looks like it'll be as bad as Fallout 3 I won't waste the bandwidth, but if it looks to be Skyrim-tier I'll remove it from inventory.
