First round of Fallout 4 Reviews

These reviews are hilarious. Guy over at FalloutNow! gave some first insights since he could play it since Friday. (Saturn and Media Markt already sold it).

Sounds like total garbage. He even stressed the fact how it's so much like Skyrim.
 
To be fair, you could kind of cheat your way to a power armor in F2, although there was only one way to do it.
 
I guess this counts as a review. Kinda Funny Games are a group of people who used to work at IGN to start their own thing.



It's basically a podcast with these guys discussing the game. I don't think any of them have finished it yet. One of them wrote the guides for Fallout 3 and New Vegas at IGN, the girl on the panel wrote the New Vegas review at IGN (she gave it an 8.5 I believe). They're all Fallout 3 fanboys but Colin (the one who wrote the guides) says that New Vegas is better than Fallout 3. Stilll watching review so I have no idea what they think of it yet. I'm guessing they like it though.

That website is just one big clickbait, no wonder one of the writers thought dying in a game is hardcore.

Most quests are generic kill quests so you really are not missing much if you don't do those.

"Most"? And if you explore much at all it will last significantly longer.

Go on and try that exploring option in a game that has leveled zones.
 
Hey, what a coincidence that's what I said about their review from reading that summary! I won't have to read it to know it's pure idiocy.
 
re:Kinda Funny Video - 10-ish minutes in, one of them (the New Vegas fan) says he doesn't like the new leveling system because it's over-complicated and unnecessary and he prefers the way it was in FO3/NV.
 
Over complicated? It's actually waaay to shallow and simplistic, the only "challenging" thing about it is that it encourages grinding. A bunch of perks are outright useless by the very system they are in.

He means (and said) that it's overwhelming to get a giant grid of things where most of them seems useless and trying to figure out what he should get now and which to save until later.

He definitely does NOT like being able to spend points to upgrade SPECIAL as he jokingly says it makes your character feel less special. He seems to be liking the rest of the game and says he's died a lot more in FO4 than FO3. It really sounds like he's trying to find reasons to like it. He's only 15 hours in and probably going through a severe case of cognitive dissonance. :P


EDIT: Not sure I misheard them, but it sounds like you get XP for cooking now. wtf? o_O

Yeah that's actually one thing that I thought about. If BGS are so obsessed with simplifying or dumbing down the leveling up system, why didn't they just use skills as a base? There are so many perks that it would kinda be confusing to new players. Just use the few skills as a basis and "hide" the perks inside the skills. Way simpler system right?

Not saying that's better than just having them separate but better than perks like this for sure I think.

So I have now played it for about an hour, and it's a piece of shit. That's all folks.

What were you expecting, that all of a sudden Bethesda was going to fire their writers and hire some good ones? They are doing the same shit Bioware has been doing for years now.

Ahah. Hahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Check this shit out.

From Jim Sterling's review

"What I love most about the companionship of Fallout 4 is the fact that, yes, you can pursue multiple romantic partnerships and the game totally allows it. You’re not locked into a single relationship, and can actually maintain more than one without getting judged or upsetting anybody. This is certainly the first game I’ve seen – and arguably the first mainstream one overall – that simply allows for polyamorous relationships without making a big deal about it."

Is anyone surprised? Anyone at all?

Wow, and Jim would claim he's not into piles of shit. Hypocrisy just swims around him.
