Fallout 4 getting increasingly negative reviews

The thing is when people bring up BOS the fact remains it was a console novelty and nothing more. The game did nothing for the cannon, and didn't really add anything. BOS has more in common with that silly vault app game than a stand alone title.

IIRC
Interplay under caen scrapped van buren in favor of fbos so interplay wanted fbos to be the main flagship.
 
That's a darn shame. Just to think if that was actually "popular" and sold well the franchise would have been ruined long ago.
 
Talking about BOS, people treat it as an isolated travesty - and it is a travesty - but if looking closely it can't be missed how similiar game it is to Fallout 3, even to the point that they could be called out for being "an orginal title" and "a sequel". As if most of Fallout 3's inspiration came exactly from BOS instead of the earlier games. Fallout 3 improves on nothing that Fallout 2 did, but a lot of things seem to be marginally better versions of BOS (combat, quest desgin, dialogs, world building...). At their core they are the same despite of presentational styles.

So true.

If we look at the "progression" or trend that is visible from BOS to 3 to 4, we can see that they are pretty much doubling down on BOS with every iteration that comes out of BGS.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a resurgence of overloads of T&A, pop slang and real world product placement in FO5.
