Fallout 4 is really disappointing.

First time out of the vault
So not a long time ago I started FO4 and told myself I dont know shit about the story, So I decided to play through ALL fallouts, I managed to finish FO1, FO2, FO3, FONV, And playing FO4 after playing all these other games, It just feels pretty... disappointing, Imo its nothing compared to FONV and FO2 anyone feels the same?
 
Nnoooooo what are you talking about? Fallout 4 completely lived up to my expectations.
Then again my expectations was for it to be a repetitive, overly streamlined game that spread itself far too thin by focusing on quantity over quality.

You came to the right place then. This is one of the few forums where people wont hate on you for expressing negative opinions about FO4.
 
Disappointed? My expectations were so low I don't think I had any for Fallout 4 to be honest...and hey who doesn't love the most repetitive, tedious, boring, sleep inducing game named Fallout 4?

" 10/10 good game but not enough repetitive quests"

"6/5 It's like Doom with repetitive quests!"
 
I never got the whole "Skyrim/Oblivion with guns" argument. Fo3 and FNV never felt like Skyrim or Oblivion, but Fallout 4 is basically a decent Skyrim add on that breaks TES lore and snorts it like cocaine.

Yeah as much as I cannot stand Skyrim atleast it has a modding community going for it, what does Fallout 4 have going for it besides "Horde Mode: The Game"?

No way, I loved it. 11/10 5 stars out of 5 two thumbs up GOTY lock 20XX. I'd grind it up and inject it into my veins if I could.

"worst"
Well the shooting is kinda good. It's meh at best. Point gun and shoot a ton until it falls to the floor. Shoot it more then take all its stuff.

Honestly, the only thing I'll want for Fallout 4 is mods, as I've given up on the base game and DLC already. I'm hoping most of the quest mods use the silent protagonist mod, as it'll be the only way I can play a modded Fallout 4.
 
I hope it's just a showcase of the latest Fallout engine, with a crude and shallow story slabbed on for the sake of presentation, hence the lack of a Title - just like last time. Hopefully they'll be able to get someone who knows how to turn it into a really nice experience, assigned to it, soon enough.. That's what I am waiting for.

Skyrim while,being a shallow platform for mods, does two very important things that FO4 doesn't; freedom to create your character as you see fit and because it's leveling system only levels the skills you use it respects your build by not forcing you to take perks you don't want or need.

You have to take a look at the gameplay (like videos) and screenshots of Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout 2 and then imagine like you never ever heard about Fallout before in your life. To which game has Fallout 3 the most comformities in style and gameplay?
If you want to get deeper in to it, there is also the whole queststructure, the NPCs, how you interact with them, a lot of the gameplay and so on, which is closer to Oblivion than Fallout 1 or 2.
It's not so much that Fallout 3 is simply Oblivion with guns, it's just more to describe the mindset of Bethesda which used Oblivion as some kind of Blueprint. Yes, F3 contains a lot of Fallout related Themes. But thats pretty much it. Like comparing two yogurts, one with real fruits and the other one is just cointaining artificial flavour instead of real fruits. It has a bit of this taste, kinda, but it's still not the same quality.
 
Fallout 4 is worse rpg than minecraft, no shit.

Minecraft has both ranged and melle combat (bows swords and shields, armors - 3 tiers for armor, 5 tiers for swords, all of them echantable)
It also has a variety of stat enhancing and healing potions, and even diferent arrow types for the bow.
But most important of all, it has reputation system. Each NPC village you encounter has a separate reputation, high reputation gives you better deals with merchants. And if your reputation is low enough the NPCs will refuse to talk to you, or even send iron golems to kill you.
It also has better settlement buiding and defending system, no "another settlement needs your help" a horde of mobs will randomly attack during night time, doesnt matter if you are able to defend the town or not.

Hell, with the right map minecraft might even be better fallout than fallout 4...
 
No one hates an Oblivion-with-guns, people only had problem with it when Oblivion-with-guns had the Fallout name pasted on it. They could've made their own IP - the Fallout brand before Fallout 3 was useless in marketing anyways because anyone in the target audience of Oblivion-with-guns would probably never have heard of the name. That's the problem - why remake a series into a completely different genre (as with EA's Syndicate) when the original fans won't like the new one, and the old fans will never have heard of the old one? It's pointless as a marketing-by-brand strategy, and it only seeks to reduce your potential customer base.

What say some other world where Van Buren got released as Fallout 3, then the Fallout series died :salute:, while Bethesda made their own Oblivion-with-guns IP and it got big?

Meanwhile, somewhere in 2014, Obsidian on Kickstarter manages to fund a new, proper Fallout 4 and it gets released? That would've been - and currently is, with other devs - the outcome with several other old IPs long forgotten.

Well, yes, the wrist-mounted inventory, the SPECIAL system and the VATS aiming system were the only unique factors in Fallout 3, and the main selling points, but none of those were exclusive to Fallout. The SPECIAL is an RPG ruleset that could be used for any RPG really, the VATS was a new mechanic entirely that never had to be named VATS, and the wrist-mounted inventory didn't have to be a Pip-Boy.

Bethesda had no obligation nor marketing-related reasons to slap the Fallout name on it, so it's possible they may have been either shortsighted or too lazy to think up a new title for a shooter IP. :lol:

except that's fucking wrong

Minecraft isn't an RPG. It's a sandbox survival game. Before you go spouting BS learn to look stuff up.

I don't care much about Minecraft, but you saying it's an RPG is stupid. Fallout 4 is classified as an RPG(even though it technically isn't) while Minecraft isn't. Stop spouting bullshit.
 
I know your pain.
I started the first Fallout the over night and it was like going from the Phantom Menace to Empire Strikes Back.
