I said it on page 1, that's just how it is. Fallout 4 just doesn't really do anything right, everything requires a bucket full of salt.
Yes, I know. And I know a lot of people don't like FO4, which I respect and understand. What I'm saying is even in a thread intended to talk about what we liked about FO4 and what was good, people still find room to banter about what they hated. It doesn't make sense.
Okay okay, one for you: Bethesda finally makes characters face looks good, although a bit "plastic", but still way better than vanilla Skyrim.
I am not a programmer, but I still cannot understand why they hard-coded the dialogue option and Perk. It is obvious that Bethesda was "expecting" mods to save their shit just like skyrim. Then why they do that? It just counteracting that objective.
Okay, you got me there. That makes sense. I don't know, I try not to think about the bad of something a lot, I try to focus on what I enjoyed. Even though Fallout 4 had a lot of issues concerning gameplay, character development, and *grits teeth* lore contradiction, I liked what good it brought to the table.
I guess it's a matter of one's gaming experience as a whole, then. Like ThatZenoGuy has been stating STALKER for so many times, so I think it's also about having a standard.
Personally for me, the standards of a "good" game are purely subjective. Everyone has their prime expectations for how a game should play and feel. Me? I have my own standards, and I don't view Fallout 4 negatively as per my standards. I consider it the weakest of the Fallout games by far, but I still like it. Then again there's few games I actually dislike or hate.
Maybe. But different games has different design focus and priorities. For instance: there's just no way you can say that Fallout 4 had better FPS mechanic than, say, DOOM. Yeah, compared to previous entries (3 and NV), 4 maybe had better FPS mechanic (haven't played it, so I can't speak more of it). But considering previous entries's design focus and priorities, which are genuine RPGs (yeah, even 3 in that regard), the standard is objective and undeniable. The 'improvement' of FPS mechanic of Fallout 4 is nothing to be applauded, at all. If anything, they were nothing that modders can't do. In fact, it's more likely they got improvements in that aspect thanks to the help from id Software. All of these improvements.... at what cost? The things that made it 'good' in the first place, of the first entries, the RPG mechanics and the focus at gameworld interactions (dialogues etc etc).
