You're two games too late for this criticism, Bethesda is too proud to retcon a mistake without putting on some extra lore to bullshit their way out of being "wrong." Look at how they defended their shitty Pip-Boy 3000 design by saying "yeah well most products in the '50s weren't ergonomically designed very well either lol" like they didn't REALLY make a mistake, the new one with a fixed design is just a newer model. :^)

Is everyone so spoiled that they want things now and it better be perfect? Not too long ago what was released is what you got, nowadays they can fix and patch something in like 5 minutes

Kids theses days need to go back to the Stone Age of gaming, y'all don't deserve all this cool shit
>>
>>316616673
The only criticism of the game that holds any water is that no non-combat ability aside from charisma has any impact on quests and as a result everything is either a kill quest or scavenger hunt.

Outside of that it's an improvement for the series.

Food for thought. BGS has been developing Fallout games now longer than Black Isle ever did. Thus, it's more appropriate to suggest BGS has created the "proper" Fallout experience as they have been honing and defining it the longest. Also, Fallout is far more popular under BGS' leadership than it ever was under Black Isle. Yes, the original games are PC-only, but BGS made Fallout accessible and popular on all platforms

Thing is they have no problem with Ghouls, it's just ferals.
All Super Mutes should die though.
Synths are mostly spooky to them when they haven't finished fixing the whole fucking world yet. Basically new world order in the making.

My problem is the way you're getting made Arch Mage- I mean Paladin way too fucking quickly thanks to special recommendation, and how despite one person saying you're the healthiest, one saying you actually have purpose, and one saying you're a cool dude, they all think you're freeloading scum.

As video games have "made it" and companies realize how much money is made, we should see much better and more critical reviews.

Small gaming sites and publications are beholden to video game marketing dollars. Major media outlets don't give a shit about that, so they can be more critical.

It's a good thing.
>>
>>316622548
Every Bethesda game before FO3 had at least a decent if not good story. They released FO3 and people didn't give them enough shit for how bad the story was and so they realized they could get away with it. That's why Skyrim's was so bad and why FO4's is kill your son or nuke commonwealth and "Father: I am your son"
>>
>>316619005
Halo has been using the same engine for 15 years.

COD has been using the same engine for at least 17 years.

It's not the engines fault, it's the DEVELOPERS. You actually think if they just changed to a new engine all the problems will go away? Lmao.
>>
>>316621993
Physics, map size, number of towns/people in game, more items in game. Game developers need to quit just throwing the whole games budget at making the new gen games just look as photorealistic as possible

Although Bethesda didn't really get any of that stuff right either. i can't figure out where exactly the games budget went.
>>
>a bunch of really incredible looking games, from Batman: Arkham Knight to the latest Tomb Raider.
Both these games don't have NPCs or worlds you can effect. Tomb Raider especially, its hub based and you are extremely limited in all things. So visuals are very easy to do as you have full control of a small-scale game.
There is no excuse for the poor character models and facial animations though, but there is simply more shit to create visually in Fallout 4 than there is in Batman AK or Tomb Raider.

>combat
I don't even understand what he wants. "It needs to be better". It feels like another modern shooter which no one is just going to evolve out of. At best they could have some smoother movement system which would directly effect shooting and melee combat. Melee just needs more options in attacking.

>more of the same
This is the case for all open world games. GTA games since 3 are very similar, they improve many aspects of gameplay but its the same formula. JC3 is more of the same of JC2. Ubisoft open worlds don't even need an explanation, they reuse formulas from one genre to the next.
>>
>>316622180
Even in the "Golden Era" of CRPGs games frequently shipped in a far worse state than modern Bethesda titles and the developers regularly stopped patching games long before they even came close to an acceptable state.

Just look at the thousands of bugs fixed in the modern unofficial patches for them that the devs never fixed.

Most /v/ denizens aren't old enough to have played any of them on release or are otherwise blinded by nostalgia.
>>
>>316622726

FO3 actually has some varied and not so generic plot points like the virtual reality segment, and you don't get that many dialogue options and shit compared to more generic AAA games so it probably blew the minds and dicks of shit tons of plebs.

FO4 is getting carried because MUH BEST SELLING EVER GETTING A SEQUEL HYPE MOTHERFUCKERS and set pieces like the BoS airship arriving. However the massive user review dump on metacritic suggests the plebs have NOT had their shit blown this time around.

You need a device to split an atom that then triggers a chain reaction in a load of material that's really good at it (plutonium).

Bullets can't split atoms and even if you hit the detonator it's locked in place to prevent premature detonations from impacts. If anything it might scatter a bit of radioactive dust if you penetrated it.

I'm genuinely incredibly fucking curious about what you expected from Fallout 4. Everything they talked about at E3 is in the game and even more shit is on top of it.

Like where could you have possibly gone in your head to overdo expectations on a launch bethesda game.
>>
>>316625938

I find hard to be disappointed, I knew what I was getting. It's honestly about as good or bad as the last 2 Bethesda games.

What bothers me the most are little gripes that could have easily been fixed and will be fixed by modders within days of the CK release, like Dialogue choices not actually being what your character says, or settlers that are literally just named "settler" you can't fucking have a "radiant" name generator or something, come on.

This, I enjoy Kain but that's straight up wrong, the witcher 2 hasn't aged well at all. It's quite shocking going back to it after playing the witcher 3 maxed out and seeing how shitty the witcher 2 looks compared to it.

The game doesn't end that way though, it is either you side with him and he dies of cancer or you kill him and nuke Boston.

I'll tell you what disappoints me just because you're genuinely incredibly fuckingly curious.

Literally 4 types of enemies, I think there's even less than Fallout 3.
Building is a bugfest (the whole game is actually)
Engine almost untouched from Skyrim. They didn't even fix the FPS bug.
Textures and models are very low quality, they didn't show the bad parts.
4 dialogue options (this one they showed, but it still annoys me)
Literally 3 songs on the radio and the host keeps repeating the same lines.

All Bethesda needed to do was rename legendaries "badass" and colour code weapons and you'll pretty much have Borderlands. It's almost scary how similar they are now.

>>316627648

You might want to look into turning down Tessellation in the AMD control panel, apparently that's fixing random Boston fps drops for AMD users.

Also God Rays were wrecking my fps and generally look awful anyways. Just type gr off into the console. Turn Shadow Draw Distances down to Medium if you're still getting bad fps in the City.

There's a huge difference between saying The witcher 3 looks better and, I quote:

>the witcher 2 hasn't aged well at all
>how shitty the witcher 2 looks

You've been proved wrong. Bye.
>>
>>316628104

I have no idea where all that tesselation is going then because there's fucking nothing requiring it.

I'm willing to bet it's a simple case of they don't have any fucking culling going on whatsoever, so the game is rendering places it simply should not be.
And on top of that the performance is tanking before before the NPCs that are taking 10 seconds to spawn spawn.
>>
>>316625907
I agree.
Skyrim's "Go to this dungeon, kill the Draguer, and come back." (Repeat x7 for guild quests) were monumentally better.
Especially the part where the completely remove the concept of writing from the equation. After all, can't have a poorly written Guild plot when there's no writing in the first place!

He does point out something that pretty much sums up Fallout 4. How you receive it is completely proportional to how tired you are of buggy releases that look, feel, and play behind the times.

Every reviewer said practically the same thing. The game is fun. It's got some creativity. The main quest seems like an afterthought. Fetch quests are abundant. The Skills/Perks/SPECIAL streamlining isn't a good thing. The game isn't very appreciative of the source material. The combat is improved and base building is a highlight even though it feels like Fallout 3.5. However the scores vary because some can look past the lazy development and "modders will fix it" mentality, and others are straight up fucking sick of it.

>It's quite shocking going back to it after playing the witcher 3 maxed out and seeing how shitty the witcher 2 looks compared to it.

I said it hasn't aged well and looks shitty when compared to the witcher 3, which it does. It looks amazing for a 2011 game but when compared to a 2015 game it's dated.
>>
>>316616673
why? because they're actually critical of video games? get that heresy out here
>>
>>316628732

There is a game that looks shitty compared to WItcher 3, and it's not Witcher 2.

Different gyu btw.

can't really take the rest of the article seriously when he opens with something like that

>>316629059
Lots of games look shitty when compared to the witcher 3 while some look better,however, all I was saying was that witcher 2 hasn't aged well when compared to the witcher 3. The author of the article claimed that witcher 2 is a better looking game than the witcher 3 which is clearly wrong. The witcher 2 is dated and there is nothing wrong with that as it came out in 2011, I was just saying the author was clearly wrong when he claimed that it looked better.

All I can say is that it looks 100 times better than FO3.
We can shit talk about texture pop ins and graphic bloom all we want but the environments in the game do look good, or they're at least more vibrant than FO3
FO3 is a bland stretch of grey nothing that looks like it had toner thrown all over it. in FO4 there's a lot of wooded areas, different building types and weather for starters.
Plus while not amazing, the models in the game are much better than the general havok engine garbage we've been getting.

One thing they fixed I thought would never happen is that your character now feels like they have some weight to them. Your character will actually turn their body if you move at a diagonal direction and they have this oomf to them if you go from standing still to a full run.

Its not that horrible shit in 3 and NV where you character's model would just run at a diagonal and it felt like you were hovering over the ground

It's a joke at the expense of the 50's, when thought putting nuclear engines in cars was a fantastic idea when we know now that doing so would be a really, really fucking bad idea. It's not meant to be accurate, it's a bit of humor.

The problem they had wasn't that it isn't totally 100% accurate to physics that a car would explode after 200 years, the problem is that they thought the entire point of fallout was the retro 50's aesthetic and based abso-fucking-lutely everything in the game around it.

More like 50s diner
Jesus christ everything in every office building and even the fucking stairways is all pointlessly rounded cuboid decorated and bright colours for equipment. Every building in FO2 for example just looks like something from more like the 70s-80s commercial/industrial architecture and burnt around the edges.

Hell, none of the buildings are fucking ruined, or only half fallen apart either. At least the ones near the ones people are actually using.

then explain why fallout 3 and 4 have cars that explode into nuclear clouds and why are they still there 400+ years after the war then smartass

What are some examples of modern games with good graphics? I built my gaming PC specifically to be able to be able to play modern multiplats, but it can only play The Witcher 3 on Low, while Fallout 4 runs on Ultra without a hitch. I give no fucks about graphics, but playing TW3 for the first time troubled me since I thought I chose better parts.

Nothing would happen except maybe rad leakage. To create a reaction you need to put a really radioactive piece of material (like plutonium) into a really dense surrounding (like uranium). The radiatoion has nowhere to go and starts breaking the atoms, which causes a huge chain reaction.

The male character I can sort of understand because its established that he's ex army but for the girl its just jarring.
One of her dialogue choices for when she finds out about the minigun is "oh yeah I like that" What the fuck is this.

Create a brand new engine instead of piggybacking the same broken engine.

Reminder, ladders are impossible because of the engine, the engine timing is tied to FPS, the engine cannot handle more than 4GB of RAM properly.
