The 'MrMattyPlays' Fallout 4 Review "A Near Perfect Game"

[MercenarySnake]

This so called "near perfect" piece of shit game had a gunner on top of a highway road high up in the air mind you, FALLS off the top of there after he purposly WALKED off the edge to try and kill me and died from falling! Hahaha this game is a joke!

Eh, he's an enthusiast who likes to throw words around. Better compliments for a highly hyped game gets him more subscribers, after all.

It's the same as that Mr. Matty calling Fallout 4 a "near perfect video game" or people writing off major bugs as "unique gems from Bethesda." It contributes to the stupidity of gaming "journalism" that is nothing more than a marketing tool for major developers. I, for one, am tired of it.

IGN posted pictures of Metal Gear Solid 5 console vs. PC comparisons trying to claim that graphics were better on the consoles. This is not the first time they're doing this kind of thing, and that whole website is the Fox News of video games.

Well, yes, that was kind of my point. But it's sort of why it shouldn't be taken too seriously. Because he's essentially a marketing tool at this point.

Bethesda have refined their EA skills to a fine art. I'm impressed in a disgusted sort of way, but hey, y'know, they publish good games sometimes. That they don't make.

All the good Bethesda games weren't made by Bethesda.

This game is a masterpiece. These people complaining about graphics and animations clearly have never played a Bethesda game before, becauseThis game is a masterpiece. These people complaining about graphics and animations clearly have never played a Bethesda game before, because this is their STYLE! All of their games follow these guidelines, and if you played them you would know that. I am a humongous Bethesda fanboy and long time fan of Fallout, and having played them all, I can safely tell you this game is engineering genius. Bethesda is the all time greatest sequel creators, they know how to take a game like Fallout 3, throw it into 2015 and make it a whole new experience, and I am VERY impressed. People trying to play this game like any other first person shooter are doing it WRONG. This is Fallout, they stated the gun play was inspired by Destiny, but if you try to play this game like Destiny you will fail! If you want a full grasp on the real success of this game, just play Fallout 3, and everything will be understood. The Fallout universe has a very original lore and requires the proper understanding to give it it's full appreciation. You cannot move from Call of Duty to Fallout and expect to enjoy it, it's and open world with infinite possibilities just like it was advertised, and it's everything I could have asked for since the previous Fallout games, and Bethesda managed to keep it a secret from me until the last moment, those sneaky devils...

In my game, the ones near the Saugus Ironworks, totally went ham on a bunch of brahmin. Lasers and missiles everywhere. One of them jumped out the highway and with no ill effects continued fighting.

I've been a *long* time lurker on NMA. The amount of whitewashing of Bethesda is frankly insulting, and to consider Fallout 4 as anything but mediocre is delusional at best.

I'm a developer (environment artist) at a mid-sized studio and generally everyone who is involved in development (artists, programmers) in this industry can 'read' or see under-the-hood of any game very quickly. Anyone can, honestly, if you've had enough experience with engines like UE or Cryengine.

Fallout 4, to me, was the epitome of lazy development. The scripting and environment, the physics, while slightly upgraded, is essentially the same as Skyrim and the preceding titles. I kept on asking 'What did this team DO for years?' because it seems like they kit-bashed their previous work and released it. Their technical artists literally carry this title and no review has either had the knowledge nor priority to call that out.

How can anyone review this game without mentioning that the A.I., the scripts, the modeling (this stands out, the tessellation of certain set pieces seems like they were carried over from Gamebryo), and in the behavior of assets are unchanged in any innovative way?

When I've said that Bethesda are incompetent I wasn't exaggerating or just taking the piss out of Bethesda. They have to be incompetent. Don't get me wrong, they're far more capable than I am but for a triple-a studio with a triple-a budget who works with an engine they've used for over a decade which they should know inside and out by know who's had technically over 5 years to work on each game then it is clear that something is very wrong here.

So it has to be incompetence. Either they are lazy, or they are just not good enough developers to really produce anything particularly worthwhile or they are hindered by their own decision to resign themselves to an engine like Gamebryo or they're under bad management that don't know hot to really utilize the studio and its resources to its full potential. Either of these is a sign of incompetence IMO.

By the way, Skyrim made 1600% more than the amount they put into the budget for Skyrim. They spent 85 million into the budget and made 1390 million in total revenue. Makes me wonder just where the hell all of this money goes to. Seriously. Where the hell does all the money go? Zenimax?

I would absolutely love to see either
of you clowns make a game better than Bethesda thats also as big as their typical games.

I'm giving you some rads because despite admitting in the "Death threats" thread that you are only here to troll because you think people critiquing the game on your Bethesda forums are trolls, you are still talking as though anyone cares. A for effort.

 

[Trannigan]

You clearly do care or you wouldnt have replied like you always do Nussbaum.

I wouldn't want to create a bloated sea of nothingness if I could develop games.

Funny then that your a member of their forums in the first place Johhny boy. Tell me then why is it that you are?

The one that fell took no fall damage after jumping down a height like that? Speaking of rockets I had a super mutant shoot a rocket at me but since he was standing behind a metal piece he killed himself. I had a raider at the top floor of an apartment building chuck a grenade at me but killed himself with it instead, blew his own leg off.

Not an argument. That's the problem with Bethesda fans, they are real short on arguments. I'm not saying their side has no possible/credible arguments, I saying they rarely use arguments. All they are interested in is deflecting criticism rather than addressing or responding to it.

If he took fall damage it wasn't enough to kill him.

I'm not a member or user of the Bethesda forums. I visited there once for the same reason people visit the Zoo.

I honestly don't care that you're trolling, it provides entertainment at least.

If you're talking a about the troll, then I did and he was...entertaining to watch as he foamed at the mouth.What ever happened to him?

i believe you people just need to accept it already that you are just a vocal minority. most people enjoy fallout 4 and most people agree with mr matty. just check his youtube likes if you do not believe me.


my understanding is your beloved fallout game got cancelled a decade ago because it was not paying the bills at interplay and putting food on the table for its employees. so it got sold to a company with a history of excellent titles and they have done nothing but good with it ever since. why cry over that? it is a dream come true to any sensible person.


it is time to let go. the majority has spoken and they love fallout 4. open your eyes and hearts and accept fallout 4 for the great game it is. enjoy it, all of its future dlc and whatever behavior interactive manages to cook up for us after.

Wasent ever meant to be an argument its telling 2 breying jackasses to put their money where their mouths are.

He's the best writer I ever had the pleasure of seeing (well, not literally) in my life. You really should check his fanfiction.
