Fallout Fallout 4 Thread

Can you find and kill the DJ? One redeeming thing about Three Dog was that you could put a bullet in his brain and he was gone for good.

Kotaku took a while, and it was worth it.

You could shoot or talk your way through Fallout 3, if you wanted.

At first, you’ll have to carefully pick what you want to focus on, and those decisions determine how you’ll interact with the world of Fallout 4.

However, in time, the new system eventually feels less restrictive — after 60 hours of playtime, I don’t really miss the extra layer of depth. It helps that Fallout 4 is generous with XP and there’s no level cap, meaning that whatever character you build can max out every single ability available to them.

In Fallout 4, when you aim at something and it’s in your crosshairs, the bullet will most likely travel exactly where you think it will. It’s a small tweak that streamlines yet another RPG aspect of the game, but it’s a welcome one.

A good number of Fallout 3 memories still stick with me. I remember meeting Moira Brown, the happy-go-lucky saleswoman who was confident that writing a survival tips book could really make a difference in the world.

Quests feel experimental, more frequently on par with standouts like Fallout 3‘s Tranquility Lane.

Quests on par with tranquility lane!

Two Bethesda Tropes I Don't Understand (mild spoilers)

P.good read.

"Look at this affluent area where the rich come to play! And come see our destroyed roads with burnt out cars on every corner. Also the place is basically ran by robots. Why don't we have them clean? I dunno...."

fallout 3 opening was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer with the GOAT

Longer, AND way more annoying/retarded/fugly/awful/mindnumbing.

 

[Space Satan]

Glorious!

Reading the interwebz, I don't get all the whining about the bugs. 30 hours in, and my "borrowed" (from a Swedish friend) copy still hasn't crashed nor glitched once. Not one fucking time.

I mean, it's totally ok to hate the game, it's fairly shit (not as shit as F3, though), but let's at least hate it for the right reasons.

Your "Swedish friend" Jüls?

When I had a swedish contraband version of New Vegas, it had less bugs than the real deal (vanilla). It's kinda weird.

Just beat the game, and was disappointed to find that

Spoiler

you don't actually get to kill your son or nuke Boston.

codex can't even spoil it properly

yes, he has his shack somewhere in diamond city. He is uglier than 3-dogg too

The American dream is alive and well in Fallout 4. In this game, you really can pull yourself up by your bootstraps and thrive.

LOL. Americans doing this:

A few players are having trouble finding their way out of Vault 111.Steam's achievement stats show that roughly 12 percent of players haven't yet left the first Vault.

Or maybe achievements are buggy -- I never got the "enter the wasteland" achievement, even though I've played long past the intro.

 

[Rivmusique]

Does it kick ass?

When I had a swedish contraband version of New Vegas, it had less bugs than the real deal (vanilla). It's kinda weird.

Ditto, when I first started playing New Vegas it was a 'demo', and the only problem I had was Radscorpions that kept trying to burrow into the ground. I'd be walking along and see a tail bobbing along like a shark's fin. Kinda cool actually.

Anyway, a few bits;



We've replaced Preston Garvey with a Handyman version of himself from Bioshock. Let's see if anyone notices.

200 years and an alternate dimension away and dumbshits are still pulling this gag.

Uh huh.

 

[Rahdulan]

Better story than New Vegas, huh? I haven't even touched Fallout 4 and I find that difficult to believe, Joe.

 

[Akratus]

No it just holds his attention more. Aka, it's more cinematic and visceral and emotional.

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

Those are the three words commonly used by people who prefer FO3. Also, personal.

'In New Vegas you're just out for revenge, that's been done a billion times. Here you're looking for family!! And deciding ownership of the Capital Wasteland in the process.'

'But-'

'Shhh. Epic.'

 

[Lemming42]

Because the very concept of watching an Angry Joe review is unbearable, can someone summarize it?

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

Well if nothing else it has the third companion I've seen set off the now infamous laser hallway. At 10:10 you can witness Codsworth do it. Everyone else has seen the Dogmeat clip and Neogaf has one of Preston getting blown up.

 

[Killzig]

That's some bad beard.

You don't think this is better than a meditation on human societies and their place in a harsh nature?

Well, I saw some Enclave dialogue from an earlier Fallout game in the review. Shit was pretty amazing compared to FO4. Otherwise Angry Joe likes the game, but thinks settlement building was tacked on and the dialogue sucked. Got an 8/10.
