The leader of the minutemen has the worst voice acting I have ever seen.

In Fallout 5, Power Armor will be fueled by real money. You read it here first.

Mouse acceleration, narrow FoV, intro video, no graphics options in-game. Bethesda delivers once again.

So any of you twatwaffles who gave Bethesda money want to spoil the plot for us, so we can laugh at it?

Fallout 4 - Your synthetic son is the villain lol

In a year when games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have redefined what open-world RPGs are capable of, I suspect that a lot of Fallout fans will be forced to question whether the usual Bethesda shtick of providing vast amounts of unpolished content with no emotional investment is still enough. I had a pretty good time, but despite its many strong points, Fallout 4 feels like one of Bethesda's minor works.

No water-breathing perk will make me survive this.

Given that the lip syncing is so off it's not even wrong to say lmao

Forbes: 8.5/10

The problem with the game is that while fans of Fallout 3 may indeed be delighted by more of the same, that same sort of jump just isn’t present in this sequel. Fallout 4 feels like a lateral move rather than a true advancement for the series, improving in some small ways but lagging behind other games in the shooter and sandbox genres because of Bethesda’s aging engine and their refusal to address persistent gameplay concerns.

It's happening. Pretty much as I predicted last year.

It's still going to sell tons of copies, it's like a iphone, driven by hype and huge marketing muscle. Sadly, a fair few 'AAA' titles can propel themselves solely through inertia. I was a little surprised they didn't manage more technical improvements, i'm not surprised the characters, quests and plots are complete crap in terms of writing.

I wish I could just ignore it and that Fallout 1/2 weren't my favourite RPGs of all time. It's like being a Star Wars fan and all the new movies are about Jar Jar Binks the Jedi Knight.

I think a shit game has its effect on the next game they sell. I doubt it'll be received as anything less than grand with a few minor quibbles like shit writing, animations, ideas, characters and coherency.

 

[Akratus]

I would never have bet on any negative mainstream press for fallout 4.

It's ironic that one of the only reviews to really talk about logic and consistency of the world simulation, a very important aspect of role-playing games, comes from the the Huffington Post.

It's going to get fixed once Zionmax PR bosses recover from the launch party hangover.

If only there were a few good men who could drive it to 84 or worse. That was would justice.

So this door magically won't open until I personally kill all the raiders, when I get in I barely have a choice to turn down the stupid power armour quest and when I finally do turn it down they all rant at me. Tried to kill them for it, they just got knocked unconcious by being shot in the face.

This is really bad. This actually makes Fo3 look good so far.

 

[Shammy]

Obsidian could make the Attributes affect dialogue and shake up the Perks to include non violent options. And we know they can make a good story, characters and factions.

Hopefully the engine actually supports that, since the dialogue system itself is pretty muddled already. Makes me wonder just how modular the engine itself really is, hopefully enough to where we can alter the stupid dialogue UI to be more in line with 3/NV.

Really? So what I read in the Russian review, that you can kill faction leaders was wrong? And that was a bit bright news.

 

[Akratus]

Oh you probably can. By pressing A to kill faction leader now while we allow it.

 

[pippin]

Now is not the moment to worry, I think. As I've been saying, the next months will be crucial for the game's future, especially if Bethesda adds something relevant to the main game with the DLCs (like a new ending, something they've already done). The scores might be high at launch but the popular opinion will change fast; this has been the case with almost every new AAA release since at least 3 years. Mostly because

This. A game being new is better than a game being good. Only notorious failures, like Arkham Knight, are seen as something really bad. Many people will enjoy FO4 because they also like Borderlands, but I'd like to see someone saying stuff like "I liked FO3 better than this". It could be fun.

I don't plan to play it. Not in the next year or two at least.

One thing that irks me is how many weapons you get thrown in your head.

In the other Fallouts you started out with nothing and slowly acquired your stuff - even Fallout 3 to a degree - and in this game you're just spoonfed everything you could ever want.

 

[pippin]

In Fallout 3 you got a lot of weapons even in higher difficulties. The thing is most of them were broken and you didn't had enough repair % to fix them.
