Automatron opinion thread.

I like how one of the comments says that the DLC is "chip money". As in, you're paying the same price for this DLC as you would a single bag of chips. Bullshit, I could buy 4 12 packs of chips for the same price as this DLC.

God, and just think, around the time FO3 came out I would have been one of these twats 7 or 8 years ago. Good thing I found New Vegas and quickly grew out of that phase.

What the hell? I've never seen a bag of chips cost that much($10), still I find it funny that they would compare that DLC to food. Considering most Bethesda fans I've encountered have always compared their DLC to say a Big Mac or other types of food. I bet that even that bag of chips would be more tasteful and satisfying than this DLC.

You can exercise to work off the physical damage a bag of chips or a big mac will do, but nothing will wash away the stain on the mind that is sitting through Fallout 4.
 
After having some time with this DLC I can safely say, Fuck this DLC and fuck this game.
I mean, fuck it.
Is the DLC good? Who cares, it's a good idea that stemmed from someone else so lets turn into DLC and put a weak story so people can feel like they get extra for their money.
Have I finished it? Nearly, at this rate, I don't want to.
Is the game any fucking good what so ever? You know, I'm going to be honest with you, Fallout 4 is a game where the more I play, I enjoy it. It's fun to waste a few hours on it. But when I think about it, I want to smash my face into the TV. It just... makes me angry.
I mean, my biggest problem is the damn legendary enemies. Throughout my playthrough, my biggest gripe are the legendaries. They make me not want to play the game anymore.
Everything else, I can excuse to a certain degree if I take the name Fallout away from the title.
But every dungeon has about two or three legendary enemies, and they are cheap.
As someone who wants to work in game development, I feel insulted that this shit can be put on the market by a triple A developer and get away with it. Well, I'm calling Bethesda out on this one.

Bethesda, if anyone is reading this (which you probably aren't), fuck off with your cheap ass enemies.
Maybe I'm just raging cause I just rage quit the game, but lets talk about basic science for a minute.
How the living fuck can a mechanical machine mutate?
What. The. Serious. Fuck.
And just to add insult to injury, lets make it so this one enemy can kill you in one move, with Power Armour.
It's shit design choices like this that make me want to sell the game.
But you know, I was dumb enough to think that Bethesda could give us decent DLC so I went out and bought the Season Pass.
So, I may as well stick around.
No seriously, fuck this lame excuse for a DLC.
The story is weak, the enemies are cheap and Bethesda is just shit.

But you know, I'm not going to be fooled again, this is the last Bethesda game I pick up until they learn to respect my fucking intelligence. Fallout is dead to me unless Bethesda really does some whore level magic trick and pull a fucking miracle out their vagina.

This is possibly the angriest I've been over a game in a while. Unless there is at least one really good DLC that I can enjoy, I'll just platinum this shit and sell it on. No reason for me to keep shit if it's just going to stink up the place.
And I understand I'm preaching to the choir, but this had potential. Dammit, this could have been the next Old World Blues, we could have had a really fun story mixed in with the okay crafting. But nah, Bethesda is too lazy for that shit.
Well fuck it, I'm too lazy to play the next damn Bethesda game. I see no reason to torture myself like that.

And you bet I'm going to rant off in the next podcast. Anything that allows me to talk shit about Fallout 4 is good for me.

I look forward to it.
 
So did anyone else notice that Jezebel is the worst lair around, and the LW somehow doesn't notice her terrible logic. Jezebel tells you right off the bat that she has been lying to the rust devils to mess with their heads and mislead them. One moment later she tells you she cannot lie because her programming does not allow it... did I miss something?
 
I was just thinking when you first enter the mechanists base it has a billion blast doors and stuff to protect it and then when you leave you just go up an elevator and leave through some crappy garage door. Maybe I am crazy or something but why would a secret bunker have so many defenses but then you can enter the command center of the base through a garage

Because fuck you give me money.
 
Well, I have got season pass so I had a chance to play and It is as bad as I thought it would be.

Story is as bad as in the base game with tons of plot holes. (The lair is twenty meters away from the BOS, how does that even work).

The robot customization is fun to mess with for the first half an hour then it gets boring.

Compared to any NV DLC it sucks.
 
It autodownloaded last week or something, consuming a half-GB of my monthly download cap. (I use a cell modem.)

I will certainly play it someday, and on that day I WILL REMEMBER TO INFORM YOU ALL.
 
Well, to be fair, the Automatron DLC is the perfect DLC for FO4. You get new things to shoot, new things to loot, and they even threw in some more returning for that extra bang for you buck! (Fuck, $10? Really? I could buy a whole game for that kind of cash)

The same reason the dungeons in Skyrim had a "secret" wall door to bring you to the beginning of the level, so you can exit Fallout 4 dungeon #788 in the quickest way possible.

Or how about the idea that she saw the only route to do good was to kill people and yet she is wondering around the Settlement.
Are we going to get Fallout 5: Attack of Jezebel?


Damn this game is broken.
 
Eh, this dlc was far from the greatest, but I've had a lot of fun building new robots. I just hate my ceramics shortage. Like hell, all of those coffee mugs and plates that I kept skipping when in loot mode come back to haunt me. The cost and lack of a larger quest-line/choices is what I find disappointing about it all. I finished it all up, and was back to just wandering around aimlessly. Why couldn't it have been fleshed out more, with varying quest goals to complete? Toss me a puzzle, some tricky dialogue to navigate. Anything. The eyebot pod for finding resources is really a radiant quest in disguise. That was pretty disappointing. I did have an amusing thing happen while finishing the final quest with Ada; I shot one of the imprisoned ghouls and he landed on his stomach on a bed. Ada went in for the kill and spanked him to death. I think I'll rename her Spankbot.
 
Why have robots become so 'personified' ? I don't recall the classic series having such emotive robots (or presenting the idea of such)...?

Now we have Codsworth a drooling sycophant with added banal 'wit', the 'sexy' robot shop vendor, and any other 'primary character' robot (including the new one in the DLC) They all have massive massive personalities - Like at a scale where Turing would begin to question the validity of his own tests. and these aren't even the 'synths' that should at least have an excuse to have deep/complex personality programming.

I can understand that it makes them less threatening to their owner/user but the way a lot of them speak they seem utterly individual and void of any robotic style persona/traits.

This doesn't feel right.
