CVG Fallout "5"'s wishlist

So basically they want more options so they can dress their virtual dolls more which helps them to larp throughout the game?
The only valid point is the one with the more complex dialog system, although this is very vague and they don't go into detail...

 

Wasn't Oblivion supposed to have this already? And didn't Ultima and Arcanum already do this? They talk about this as if it's some new super tech that has never been done before.

 

As much as has been maligned about the poor state of video game journalism ad nauseam, these sorts of articles act as a constant reminder of how the complaints are absolutely valid. And CVG isn't some dinky little private blog.

This is middle school (if that) level writing. The topic is potentially interesting, but most of the ideas boil down to wanting more, bigger and better without proposing solutions or alternatives. Better graphics, more customization, more world sensitivity etc. It's entirely uninspired and lazy. edit:And the complaints about facial customization are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. The new Fallout's have just about as much character creation (well the face anyway) tools as most other RPGs, arguably more than Mass Effect were personalization plays a bigger role as your interactions are more active.

Wasn't there some reason in the original Fallouts why there were (almost) no working cars around? Even the Highwayman was modified.

 

I can see vehicles being a fun element (thinking mad max) but unless the wasteland get to play another/more important role it could also just turn into to another mini-game-esque gta riddled with bugs.

 

Karma is bullshit. This crapy stuff should be dropped totally. Makes no sense that I do something somewhere and in the next moment everyone knows I am evil or a godchild.

Reputation system is the way to go, nothing else. Of course, it gets more complicated then, but it's better than Karma in any possible way.

 

You never saw your face in Fallout unless you went into Vats and that specific camera angle came up. For something like ME/DA2 facial appearance was very important but its been largely pointless in the last 2 games unless they introduce a voiced character in the new game. I always had a hat and glasses on aswell.

 

You never saw your face in Fallout full stop. Oh wait you don't actually mean Fallout do you, but one of the sequels/spinoffs but how are we meant to know which one?

 

I'm guessing you don't know there was a third person view and you could do a complete 360 swing of the camera around your character. It even has zoom! What wonders!

Edit: Please remove the double post. That was a complete mistake on my part.

 

"And then we can like dress them up and make them look like us and give them little funny hats and they can explode cars they drive and the graphics will be epic and it'll be lulz."

There, that's the article summed up so you don't have to read it. I just saved you all five minutes.

 

The Player's eyes should be microscopes!

No, wait, telescopes!

No, no , no, PERISCOPES!

Can you come back to me? I'm the average video game fan and have no idea what makes games good!

 

Sweet Moses.

Stopped reading there, don't want to boil.

 

Wait until you read the entire article and see the wonderful idea of re-introducing vehicles in FO5.

Sweet Moses indeed.

 

Bethesda is already doing that. It's called "Rage".

 

Yes, distinguished comments galore, just like the article that sparked them. I reckon they belong together. Let's see... Ah, one of the many very insightful posters around there:

Fallout Online is not a squeal! You heard it, people! Interplay is maybe sparse on information regarding this issue, but it has leaked!

Hold on, hold on... maybe there's more proven facts you would like to know about games these days? How about:

Indeed, the article and the comments belong together.

 

The more complex dialog system" sounds like the only good idea, but the way they word it is just vague, Vehicles are not such a bad idea, but they would require a lot of work for them to be something more than a super speed option, the more customizable facial customization is just something really superfluous, having a cyberdoll, go play Sims?

 

How far have we come from original one... Now, Oblivion, Skyrim and Rage are normal to mention along side with Fallout game...

*imaginary spitting on the floor*

Maybe it's me, but i have noticed that angry devs, generally, are making games that i like. A lot.

I would like angry devs.

Please.

 

Dunno. Always wanted to have tattoos and piercings in New Vegas. Too bad no one is making them and is busy making anime hair mods and HH-cup tit mods.

 

^I think there are tatoo races mods. I use one that adds the tribal tatoos as a playable race.

 

I want to play F3 created by Troika and a boat and a house in Vietnam and the continuation of Project Orion and I want my ex gf back into my life and a glass of good red wine.
