Things we learned from Fallout 4

326.Brahmin tipping is not really a thing anymore since it would crash the game, because bethesda couldn't implement it.

327.Percentage based speech checks are one of the worst solutions to the issue. Save scumming is the best way to play through this game.
 
Has anyone said already how now power armors fall into pieces after two bullets? How they are basically very expensive energy drainers? "The armor usually carries enough fuel to last for one hundred yea... oh LOL I mean, one hundred seconds" (sorry, I don't wanna read the whole 327 points of disappointment)
 
328: every time Bethesda games improve the gameplay they get worse.

329: Fallout 4 is not a sequel but rather a spin-off of a quest that was ripping off bladerunner inside of a spin-off.

330: fallout 4 is garbage with few redeeming qualities.

I mean really, pacifying did nothing for me but make me able to execute them like in the fallout 1 intro as if I waited they just went back up and shoot me.
 
337. Todd howard is a dictator and has sacked anyone who had ever challenged him creatively long ago. He also is not a creative himself, but is just a person that is great at managing and unifying creatives into a single vision.

338. Being a bit of a fascist when it comes to your art is fine, and it was fine when he was, like, 20 and he had his finger on the pulse of gaming because he himself was a gamer working on Morrowind. But he's a goddamn 45 year old man now, who spends his time in Zenimax IPO appraisal meetings and Microsoft developer management seminars.

339. When you are showered with awards that tell you that you are the best Game Developer that ever lived simply because you made a lot of financial success, you start to believe in your own bullshit and fancy yourself as an auteur.

340. If you start making broad decisions based on how much of an auteur you think you are, even though you've never written a line of dialogue or picked up a WACOM pen, you are going to end up with a bad product.

341. If you build an entire company around yourself that's worth hundreds of millions, business and the art will start to meld, your measurement of success will erode from how much you have embettered yourself and your craft to how many unit sales you make, and you are will end up with a bad product.

342. It does not matter if you surround yourself with the most talented people in the industry, if you force them all to get everything approved through you and only you, and you are too blind to see that you have become the single point of failure in your company, and you are going to end up with a bad product.


343. The best lesson to learn in life is when to let go of the pride, man.

345: Bethesda was so upset with people making hurtful memes out of Preston Garvey that they cut dialogue from the latest update. Preston Garvey will no longer start quests by saying "another settlement needs our help" The text will pop up with no dialogue. Now he starts quests with "I marked the location on your map." Not the smartest people at Zenimax/Bethesda, they did not realize that the meme can be replaced too. :(

Well, they paid $60+ for that game, might as well play it when they don't have anything else to do, even if it's just for stupid, mindless fun.

At least you don't see much of me in this thread, a guy who haven't played FO4 and haven't even buy it :razz:

It wouldn't really be fair to complain about shitty AAA games being made if you keep buying them either.

Every "new user" that comes here and says this is boring.

If we don't play Fallout 4, then we have no right to complain because we haven't tried it. But if we do play Fallout 4, then we also have no right to complain because we're playing it.

Yawn.

Some unfortunate souls have wasted their money (by their own admission) on that valueless piece of junk, some others have taken advantage of that and merely wasted some hours to make sure the afore mentioned grief was indeed justified.

And... you don't always need to taste shit to know it's awful. ;)

At this point of popularity, buying the game or not does no difference to the future of those games. Millions will buy them. It's like being Pro-Sanders, but refusing to even look at a picture of Hillary on the net. What does that do? Nothing, the picture already has millions of hits. Or, an Adam Sandler movie. They're absolute garbage and insulting, but many know this and go because it's a 'popcorn movie'. Or the Star Wars Prequels. ETC. Same with Fallout. No matter how much you hate 3, or 4, or NV, it was financially successful with or without one buying it; they'll make more games on THAT fact and nothing else.

So, why not buy them and play them and *know* what it is and make an informed opinion thereof? There's no harm. I played Fallout 4. I thought that, even though they use the BoS and Mutants again and whatever, maybe it'll be fun. Hell, the Minuteman faction, while expected, was refreshing, as a concept, and even though it was far from a good dungeon crawl, destroying the Institute was primal and momentarily fun. Etc, etc. By the time I played it, around what - 3 million copies were sold?

Not playing it would had just made me an uninformed wanker complaining about something I would have no experience about. Playing it would make me an informed complainer. The latter is unanimously better than the former....

Actually your line of thought makes sense. But you still payed for that shit. I didn't.
