FO4 was the worst game in the series... pretty bad when I think FO3 was better, but it was. Glad I pirated that shit.
>>28562785
the assualt rifle makes me cringe :/
>>28562785
it is an assault rifle... for a guy in powerarmor. and called "machinegun" in the game files with "assault rifle" being the unfinished chinese assault rifle
the thing you should be asshurt about is that it is the only goddamn gun in the game chambered in 5.56 yet there are "5mm" miniguns. And that the combat rifle is chambered in .45acp instead of 5.56 yet upgrades to a .308 receiver.
And that the combat rifle is the same model as the (breddy sweet) combat shotgun instead of a garand action (pretty much a mini14 that you can upgrade into a M1a), playing to the retrofuturistic image of a divergent history where we nuke the shit out of a lot more people in WWII
>>28563015
The compensator attachment makes me cringe too
And so does the "suppressor" for the gauss rifle

>>28563016
The NCR service rifle is just an AR15 with a more traditional charging handle and wood furniture, which we see from honest hearts is just a post-apocalypse remake of an American rifle (also proves that one of the constants of the universe is that America will use an AR platform no matter what).
My point is I would rather see an AR with more boner inducing walnut furniture.
>>28562827
I think they clearly wanted some WW1 look to it, and to be fair I don't think they did a bad job in that regard. The problem is that for an "assault rifle", it doesn't make much sense. It's ridiculously fucking heavy, does a shocking amount of damage with a few mods (semi auto + advanced receiver), and just looks huge. Ironically, as weird as the sights are, the dot and ring holo sight work perfectly with it.
If it was a power armor rifle or LMG these flaws could easily be forgiven. I can forgive a SAW style gun for being about 20 pounds loaded, why not. I can't forgive a common infantry gun for being that fucking huge.
>>28562842
FO:NV is the best of the modern three Fallouts in many ways. Maybe not all ways, but enough to be my favorite. That said, I like the new power armor system, I think its nice they make it more than just a suit of armor you can just swap out of like a hoodie and sweat pants. But the campanions are largely bland, the writing has a lot of promise early on but devolves, and the minuteman radiant quests are beyond repetitive. HOW MANY FUCKING GHOULS ARE NEAR ABERNATHY FARM?? Throw in a sentry bot, a deathclaw, SOMETHING so I'm not just shooting zombies all day. Bitch my ammo costs more than the loot I get from those fuckers, make it worth it at least.
>>28562785
Game felt rushed unfinished as fuck. Not to mention pretty much having the same graphics as FO3.
>oh look, we got too sidetracked with our base mechanic, a feature that nobody asked for, so you can buy shops to actually sell your shit in and manage faggots who you want to kill
>oh, and that didn't leave us any time to make random encounter sidequests, or fleshed-out main quests
Haven't played that game in weeks.
>>28563331
I got an explosive double barrel shotgun... it ruined the game for me.
Instagibbed pretty much everything. I ended up scrapping it but by that point in the game everything died instantly because I was a god among men.
The "balance" and progression is so stupid. You are handed power armor and a minigun so early on in the story. Deathclaws die really easily, and the aesthetic is fucking garbage compared for FNV and (dare I say it) FO3. I just hope mods will fix it.
There's no survival aspects, everything feels so close, and the weapons are OP as fuck even on "survival" difficulty. Not to mention the fucking dialogue options, complete lack of RPG elements, and Mass Effect 3-like ending.
>>28563402
Yeah, the fucking combat shotgun and combat rifle have the same reloading animation. Fucking lazy bethesda. I was hoping for the fallout 3 styled assault rifle so i could recreate perforator from the pitt.

Fair enough, I wouldn't mind it if they lasted longer or could be recharged.

>>28563420
I found an explosive minigun. It is the very definition of OP and completely broke the game from then on. But it was fun as fuck making everything instagib.
>>28563458
In short. It was a lazy ass game. The guns look retarded.
>>28563627
Explosive combat shotgun is fun also :^)
>>28562785
I couldn't quite get around the way normal fucking people like Raiders could absorb more lead than a panzer battalion and still not die. It was immersion shattering for me. The vault suits ought to have ablative slowly-regenerating ballistic plates or something. That way you could go up against top-tier nasties and still live long enough to run.
I dunno... my introduction to the IP was Skyrim, and it blew me away. I can accept that multiple sword strokes are required to kill something. But not a modern rifle.
>>28563627
Gau 8?
>>28562785
It was supposed to be an LMG for power armor, but the actual assault rifle got cut. If it feels like half the game is missing that's because half the game is missing.
>>28563668
A good hit from a long cutting blade will incapacitate faster than a lot of rifles will.
>>28563570
Get on my level
>>28562785
They didn't actually design it to be an "assault rifle" in the beginning. They just wanted to make a gun that would look good in the power armor's big hands. It wasn't until later that they called it the assault rifle
>>28563371
They probably came here for advice at some point, & their product was daytime cringey, so highly likely "ours"
>>28563383
>HOW MANY FUCKING GHOULS ARE NEAR ABERNATHY FARM??
if you just have enough defenses it will rarely be attacked and they won't nag you about being attacked so often
it also has no consequences if you ignore their call for help
radiant quests are so boring I usually ignore them

Fallout is always gonna be discussed here, might as well get used to it. Remember that even 5 years after New Vegas was released, we would still have threads like "I just bought this on Steam, is it /k/-approved?".
Might as well get used to these threads.

Because Bethesda a shit. Even after Obsidian showed them how it's done in NV, they stuck their fingers in their ears and were like 'LALALALA, fuck the fact that this game is set in the most gun-dense country in the free world, we're going to make everything out of rusty fucking pipes and .38 ammo. Even though there have been factions in the Fallout universe that machine factory-tier guns since forever (like the Gun Runners, Enclave and NCR).

This is what the assault rifle (unique variant) looked like in FO NV... Not realistic either, but MUCH more fitting in the setting.

I hope you don't get creation kits , just because of how stupid you are.
For me, this game will be shit until these mods are made:

>BAR mod to replace the Combat Rifle (and its chambered in .308 too)
>SPAS-12 mod to replace the Combat Shotgun
>AA-12 auto shotgun
>G36

>>28566573
>But honestly I figured you guys would focus more on the ROF and damage and caliber and all the other shit with a gun aside from the cosmetic stuff.
It's all stupid. Literally everything, from the calibers, to the mods (.38 to .50BMG, why not?), the rusty and the crappy steampunk vibe. It's just retarded.. Also DMG models need not be mentioned, as it's a Bethesda game aka 'walking simulator ft. bullet spunges in all shapes and sizes'.

I don't think you understand how much defense I have at Abernathy and sanctuary hills and they still get attacked.
Also if you fail a kidnapping quest you do in fact lose a settler, not that matters too much.
>>28566612
>Also if you fail a kidnapping quest you do in fact lose a settler
You say that like losing one of those useless shitheads is a bad thing. I should be thanking these raiders.
>>28566605
Not even close.
I literally play MGSV on my HTPC, which is a 2009 Samsung netbook.
Meanwhile my i7 6700k/R9 390x desktop can't routinely hold 58-60fps on FO4.
>>28566612
Fucking this.
I literally have the perimeter of Sanctuary lined with MG turrets with towers holding missile turrets every dozen yards or so (19 total) and a small group of raiders will still attack.
>>28566551
It matters because the FAL is not as aesthetic as the G3.

This. I get pipe weapons existing, especially early on if you have a mix of pipes and normal guns, but seriously there should be a better mix. Now that I play on a higher difficulty there is, but I still find super mutants and raiders running pipe guns all the time.
It really grinds my gears that we don't see more arms manufacturers. The New England area is dripping in gun manufacturers IRL, and robot manufacturers in game, and has extensive BoS presence, yet the NCR manages to blow the institute and BoS out of the water for industrial scale production.
Obsidian is King of fallout, Bethesda is just an imposter on the throne.

Yep, Abernathy and sanctuary get hit all the damn time and they have more defenses than Hoth in the empire strikes back.
The slog, a ghoul settlement with no defense whatsoever? Never hear a damn word from them. It's all concentrated in the northwest for me, maybe it's cuz I spend much more time in those settlements or something.

If this game had more guns that didn't look retarded and enemies that didn't die in 1-3 hits it might actually be great. I play these games like a massive fucking kike and have like 1,200+ rounds for every gun I have and over 100 fusion cores. Even in the hardest difficulty I'm running around in top tier armor for 30 mins a core with a literal ton of scrap at sanctuary and I haven't bothered to build anything because it's fucking pointless. I got so bored I spent 3 hours reloading a checkpoint in the hopes of a legendary ghoul dropping something cool. Best I got was a wounding assault rifle. After seeing the same armor piece drop 40 times I gave up.
thankfully NV has a very mature and broad selection of mods now

I posted in a thread about shilling for a game based on visual weapon design in it and I know a bit about both because I have eyes and a brain.
After getting the damage rebalance mod (player-enemy 3x 3x instead of the 0.5x 2x of the vanilla "survival"), I like the gameplay more. At least now people die with an headshot.
But the thing won't be balanced until someone reworks everything, making headshots multiplier higher and lower body damage, buffing up animals hp, reworking the weapon damage and armor rating. I also believe the armor rating now affects the whole body, while it should be zone specific. What's even the point of the separated armor if exposed limbs still get cover from damage?
Could all participants involved in the pointless pissing contest please stop? We're trying to rage about Bethesda's shit guns.

>A day on fucking YouTube would've fixed that.
They could have _literally_ copied all the gun models from NV and it would have been better than this..
>Are their people functionally retarded or just flat-out lazy? I'm thinking it's the latter.
If they were lazy they would have done what I said above: Just copy the models from previous games... But Bethesda seemed really intent on giving this Fallout their typical 'rusty shit taped together' vibe, just like FO3 had.. They're just retarded, and have this idea in their heads about how Fallout should look and feel, but in my opinion that idea is wrong. Unfortunately the masses seem to be eating up Bethesda's way... The fact that NV was a buggy piece of shit for consoles probably didn't help it's popularity.
>>28567496
Consoles ruined New Vegas itself by forcing it to be cut it into sections for performance and thus less engaging / immersive
>>28567521
>cut it into sections
IIRC you don't really notice that on PC, as the loading takes place in the background. Only when you move between indoor and outdoor cells you get a short loading screen.
>>28562785
When I first saw this gun in the previews I assumed the Brotherhood of Steel made it. Well not made it but, look at it. It looks like a fucking LMG. I said to myself "oh thats probably a prewar LMG the brotherhood has re purposed as an assault rifle for power armor equipped infantry. Just look how big that shit is."
Makes sense right? Yeah I thought it did too. Of course this was incorrect and its just a standard AR which makes no sense.
>>28567383

>That would've made even less sense, since NV's vanilla guns were largely produced by the NCR.
NVs vanilla guns were actually largely pre-war fudd guns.. Break action shotguns, lever action rifles and shotguns, revolvers. Most Assault Rifles were made by the gun runners (which according to the Fallout lore are all over, right?).. IIRC it was mostly the uniforms and the 'Service Rifles' (wood furniture ARs) that were NCR produced..
Fallout 4 should at least have had some of the more common weapon types you'd find in an average American town: Loads of revolvers, pump action shotguns and AR-pattern rifles.
>>28562785
>it is semi-auto with no shooty switch

There's a reason the business school worms that run today's "AAA" game studios aren't involved in a more significant business, they'd run it into the ground.
Then there's the money they waste on marketing. What is the fucking point? Other than brainwashing children and teens into thinking they have a superior product, there's no point to marketing!
People are eventually going to realize just how much hey missing out on with "AAA" games. Especially once PC components become cheaper as people wake up and realize that the Federal Government is denying access to this nation's mineral wealth in a massive price-fixing scandal.
They won't be able to ignore all of us....

millenium would probably straight port his models from FO:NV and make a replacer within a day of the GECK being dropped. the "assault rifle" being relabeled "US Powered Infantry machinegun" or something and changed in the level list so gunners aren't operating operationally with 40lb air cooled machineguns would greatly improve the game.

>YFW low-ranking Gunners exclusively use .308 Combat Rifles and Combat Shotguns.

>>28566573
the charm of FO:NV is that if you want to hard enough, any gun in the game can be used the whole game.
you can snipe raiders with you night vision silenced varmint rifle or blow them away with a barret 50 cal
you can shoot a deathclaw with a 10mm pistol and watch it eat shit on the bottlecap mine you placed in it's path
in FO3 and FO4 they force progression hamfistedly and simply make the same enemies beefier to force you to use a quad missile launcher as a DMR to kill super mutants you used to merc with a pipe rifle in the same fucking area
remember how all the game files and internal fluf say the lower map is so much more dangerous? remember how you hoped against hope they took a page from new vegas and made difficulty spawn dependant instead of level lists? remember how you could clear quincy with your t45a and minigun if you got there before the gunners got good gear and whipe them... or do the same thing high level with the latest greatest gear. focus on that REEEEE. let it consume you

Yeah, now it is. Originally it wasn't It was diametrically opposed to the NCR. It was a nation where you traded liberty for strength and security. They intended to allow you to go east of the Colorado into Legion territory to show the "good" side of the legion. Would have given the faction more depth instead of LEL SO EBUL. Remember the original plan was basically this. There is the Legion which is a slave taking conquering army of tribal fanatics, AND there is the civilization Caesar is building behind them. They are not one in the same. The Legion is Caesars tool to create a civilization, its not the civilization Caesar champions.
>>28567873
... they use 10mm pistols and lasers with no armor until you bump a few rungs up the leveled list.
it would make a fuckton more sense for them to be using combat rifles and the cut content chinese assault rifles/HK33s even if the brrrrrt was more brrrrrrty. the asinine RoF of the "assault rifle" means they already put down a fuckton of ~40dam a round dakka
>>28563420
I know this is not /vg/ but just to corroborate that getting explosive on a weapon makes the game into a walk in the park I'll post this webm.
One of the biggest problems I had with the game weaponry wise was the over abundance and use of pipe weapons. It felt really lazy. Its like they just said "oh we can custimize weapons right? Lets just auto generate a whole bunch of useless shit and give it to everyone thats not a named character."
Im also not a huge fan of the whole "legendary" aspect on weapons. This isn't fucking skyrim nor is it memelands. My pipe rifle shouldnt have a bottomless magazine.
You'll find this "meh good enough" attitude throughout most of the game. They didn't spend time develping lots of cool and unique weapons because they could just auto generate different versions via the weapon modding, same with the quest. Where there really any GOOD side quest? At all? I can only thing of the one with the family that had the serum. Everything was just auto generated "radiant" shit. Go to X kill Y report back. Repeated over and over and over and over.
>>28566365
When you get an explosive version of a gun, it tacks on an additional 15 damage + splash damage + any buffs you have per shot. For examplr, my current character gets ~100 damage with a combat shotgun. Make it an explosive combat shotgun and each PELLET does an additional 15 damage + splash. It turns that 100 damage gun into a 500+ damage gun.
>>28567900
>NV
>barret 50 cal
Americans, bet you think riot shotgun is an AA12 or something.
Best pistol, too bad there's a bug where it keeps slotting it as a grenade.
>>28568041
Kneecapping Minigun and Plasma-Infused Minigun are just fucking ridiculous. May not kill as fast as explosive-based weapons, but by god, is it fucking hilarious to use the Kneecapping Minigun on shit like legendary deathclaws. Tempted to get rid of it if only because of how terribly OP it is.
>>28568060
The Last Voyage of the USS Constitution was a great quest. The only part of the game I really look back on fondly.

>>28570842
Yeah, that was disappointing. Automatic weapons are such shit in this game.
I just used a combat shotgun for that quest instead.
>>28562785
Hopefully mods will make the weapons and armor a bit better. Nothing will change the fact it's a fps with a glorified quest giving system not an actual rpg. Fuck it, i'll go back to skyrim.
>>28563313
Honestly this makes no goddamn sense. Also, not having a 1911 or another decent bolt action is a mistake
>>28571030

What were they THINKING? It isn't even consistent with Bethesda's own work in Fallout 3.
>>28571070
Also its retarted how you cant add a 1928 style forgrip on it but you can get the barrel. Autismo. Also if you do the glitch and get 3 fusion cores then go to vault 81, you can get the overseeres guardian extremeley fast, and free with the glitch, then just upgrade the doo doo out of it and voila, its the most powerful gun in the game

They fucked up because it's nothing like Vegas. The way they act is as if Vegas never happened. Probably because obsidian made it and it was vastly superior.
Also fallout 4 is just Nuclear Skyrim. Even has the same sounds of dogs dying in fallout that were used for killing a wolf in skyrim. The workbench is just the armour bench from skyrim. The whole game felt bad. I couldn't quite place my finger on what it was. However Vegas just had a charm to it and felt good to play and walk around. 4 felt like 3. Meh. Not sure what it is. Just felt shit.
>>28571550
4 feels fucking exactly like 3. I didn't play vegas for some reason, so I don't have that to compare it to. But it's basically fallout 3 with base building and crafting.
>>28571550
I'd argue that 3 was better than 4 in some ways. Sure, it threw any pretense of seriousness out the window, and the story was completely absurd, but it had its charm. It was great for just picking a direction, walking that way, and seeing what you found. And it wasn't constantly trying to shove fifty fucking generic, interchangeable radiant quests down my throat.
>>28571550
Yep, Fallout 4 is a cheap cash-in quickly hacked together because people will buy anything as long as it's made by Bethesda.
>>28571623
>2016
>buying games
you know you can just download them, right?
>>28565927
Speaking of which
Any word on console mods?
>>28571578
It's 3 plus some skyrim shit. Do yourself a favour. Buy/torrent/steal/suck dick for New Vegas, ideally the ultimate version with all of the "dlc". It should be cheap as anything. Best game of the series (reboots). Also best mods and community around it.
Not sure what it was about 3/4 I didn't like but NV was my favourite single player game of the last 10 years or so. My friend that got 4 and I played his copy wouldn't say anything bad about 3 or 4. I asked why he got it on xbone not PC. He could mod and improve it on PC and had the PC to run it. "I don't like mods, I don't want to mess around with the game files and break something". Guy thinks steam workshop is some kind of hackerman tier shit.
I know he only says he prefers 4 out of all of them because he bought the xbone for it and pre-ordered for way more. It just didn't feel right. None of the rule of cool either
>>28571269
How is PA yellow? I thought we had pretty lax gun laws compared to our Jewish neighbor states.
>>28571623
I felt that with some mechanics for sure. Felt lifted from skyrim
>>28571620
Yeah I did that on new Vegas. Hundreds upon hundreds of hours in that game. Still enjoy it. Feels clunky but still stuff to do. Also the fact that there's sounds in 4 recycled from other Bethesda titles pissed me off. I do sound design/foley and that shit sticks out like a sore thumb
>>28571717
>I felt that with some mechanics for sure. Felt lifted from skyrim
No kidding. Fallout 3 had bullet damage affected by skill level. Fallout 4 has bullets magically change into all sorts of things depending on the weapon. It's so fucking lazy. The Bethesda Fallouts are just mods of whatever they released last.
>>28570899
I used the mod that lets you craft legendary mods and used it to make the silver Thompson actually do decent damage, just to use it as the Shroud
>>28571665
I torrented 4. I'm sure vegas will be even easier to find.
>>28571070

>>28571717
It's not just sound and some design elements. Have you noticed that argonians and deathclaws suddenly share skin textures? Bethesda was so damn lazy with this game.
I'll admit that Fallout 3 was my first Fallout game. I hadn't heard of the series before it. I rather enjoyed 3...until I played New Vegas, which swiftly became my favorite game of all time. Now it's hard to go back and play 3.

There is NO EXCUSE for this game not having a Model 10 or a Model 36. Th former will likely be one of the first mods once the GECK comes out.

And strangely, you need Gun Nut rank 3 to downgrade it to .38 in the first place. Granted, it's probably a common mod at low levels that shows up in stores and on randomly-generated guns.

its like you faggots seem to forget that fallout 4 is based around the year 2300.
first off, how and why would there possibly even be any ar variant weapons (or any weapons for that matter), based off of 20th century weapons??
look how much firearms technology and design has changed in less than a century already IRL (1900-2000)
second off
>fo4 assault rifle is a ww1 machine gun
how can you even assume this? the fo4 assault rifle could be based on any futuristic gun design.
why do people think that in the year 2300, people would still be basing guns off of 20th century models??
>>28578396
because the great war happened in 2077, society, technology, and aesthetics froze at 1959, and you're a fucking idiot who needs to go back to /v/
>look how firearm design changed between 1900 and now hurrr
then you don't know jack shit about guns m8. the AR15 was designed in 1957, based off the AR10 produced in 1956. 59 years and all we've done is slap more railz on it. In fallout the "assault rifle" is based on the HK g3 designed in 1959 but chambered in 5.56 (IE the HK33 made in '68).
>hurr i didn't read the thread
every aspect of the FO4 "assault rifle" is pulled from WWI weapons. It's an air cooled lewis gun with a bunch of shit from other WWI machineguns added to it. lrn 2 google images like bethesda did.
You guys are doing it wrong. Upgrade the assault rifle to full auto, add a drum mag and reflex sight, now you have a squad automatic.
I turned a corner in downtown boston to find a squad of raiders in enfilade, I mowed them down with only 40 rounds in a single burst. I don't think they even got off a single shot in my direction.
