No. New Vegas is a pretty good game, and definitely better than Fallout 4.

Is Fallout 4 better than Skyrim? do the changes in the engine and gameplay look good for the next TES?

I could be wrong but I could swear there are way more loading screens in FO4 than Skyrim. I spend so much fucking time in loading screens it's really killing my motivation to finish the retarded main quest.

Also there are more dialogue heavy sections, which would be nice if the dialogue wasn't so FUCKING BORING.

Anything after 2 isn't a fallout game, they're fallout spin-offs and in all honesty not that bad beyond Brotherhood of Steel which is the video game equivalent of dysentery.

What the hell is that comparison screenie supposed to be. If you wanted to make NV look bad, you shouldn't have 4 look almost exactly the same. Looks like they belong to the same game, just different models.

One thing Fallout 4 did right, was the enemy design and combat ai.

Raiders take cover, even behind cars, and are crap shots.

Gunners spread out, fire carefully and shoot at cars if you cover behind them.

Mole Rats dig and pop up around you.

Feral Ghouls run and walk unpredictably, knock you and run around disorientating your aim.

Dogs will run up, and circle you allowing others in the pack to attack you from behind while you try and aim at the one distracting you.

fallout 4 fucking sucks

so much about it is awful. so much that is awful about it was fixed in NV but somehow the incompetent fucks seemed to learn NOTHING from what new vegas did right.

not only that, but it's a fucking mess, unoptimized (get drops into 20fps and lower in boston with a 390 overclocked) and the AI is still garbage.

And that's all not even mentioning the fucking story

thank god I didn't pay for this pile of shit
>>
>>317690184
Same. What were they fucking thinking
>>
>>317690034

I noticed facing a group of raiders, some take cover, others just run right up to you shooting.

Gunners and Triggermen spread out and stay behind cover they'll even move back if you get close and try and stay in optimal range of their pistols and machineguns.

I think the core gamplay of Fallout 4 is better than skyrim by far.
Fallout 4 just has to be a good shooter, thats the bare bones basic of what most people expect.
Skyrim's combat system would have to be more indepth than left click left click left click, something that even modders couldnt fix.
However, the world of skyrim allows for actual roleplaying, as long as you install certain mods, while the world of Fallout 4 is so barebones and uninteresting that, even if they had added proper RPG elements to the game, the world would still be less engaging and interesting than skyrim's.
Skyrim still isnt a very good game though.

>>
>>317689727
The engine changes are good, but don't really address any of Skyrim's biggest problems. They need a much better melee system (untouched by Fallout 4), environmental interaction like climbing ledges/ladders, and a much better spell system than the ball/spray/aoe variants they have now.

If they take a good hard look at something like Dragon's Dogma's gameplay and steal whatever they can (like they said they did for Fallout 4 and shooters), it might end up passable. I wouldn't count on it though. We'll see more minecraft fighting waving around pool noodles, but have to pick up every piece of trash in the environment and The Elder Scrolls' current fanbase will eat it up.

Fallout IV is not really a RPG anymore.

I'm pretty sure a lot of that is just the AI doing things randomly and making it look like it's programmed

>>
>>317689373
Fallout 4 is all flash no substance, if they didnt simplify so much and take out a lot of shit from New Vegas it would be a decent fallout game.

New Vegas lied to me in the title of the game, shit should be called fallout mojave because vegas is so shit and forgettable, no heists, no high rolling entourages to join etc, not much good about vegas itself but a few of the characters and the backstory.

The one thing fallout 3 and 4 has are events in the world that were outstanding and memorable (blowing up megaton, fighting with liberty prime, when the brotherhood show up in their airship etc) The only striking events I can think of in New Vegas are the come fly with me quest and the boomers bombing the dam in the final battle, most of my memorable moments in new vegas just come from the gameplay and story.

Bethesda fallouts stray too much from the original fallout lore. But new vegas felt like it could have been so much more, dead money is another offender to me, instead of the shit speakers they should have had some nemesis like monster hunting you alongside the ghost people.

I've seen a single one of the endings now and taking a break from the game for the first time since release date. Not even neet, I do have a job to go to, so this has been almost all of my freetime for two weeks.

Game's very good, that's all I can say. I see endless complaints about trivial issues or things that I've been lucky enough not to have a problem with. Solid 8/10.

Oh and this said: FNV is still my favorite Fallout game, and I think Skyrim was garbage through and through. If that matters, that is.

Here's how I play Fallout 4

>I wanna shoot, let's fire up the game
>meh, I'm bored of shooting, screw this game

I play it in 2 hour bursts every 2 days. The world is just stupid, bland and boring, just scattered clumps of various buildings and raiders groups which feel like something that just pads up the game as to seem more explorable than it actually is.
>>
>>317691064
The engine isn't just graphics, anon, it's what allows the gameplay to exist. Gamebryo is so hilariously out of date that basic 2015 mechanics need to be shoehorned in through easy-to-break hackjobs, and simple physics and collision have trouble working properly. Then there's how the shit performance actively harms modding, but that's another can of worms.

Played FO4 for quite a bit in the first few days then just..got bored and I don't have the motivation to play it anymore.

Finished FO1 yesterday and been playing FO2 all day today, such better fucking games from writing to world to atmosphere, after FO2 is done going onto NV, but even then NV doesn't capture that brooding atmosphere of 1/2 sadly. (thanks Gamebyro), in fact in terms of atmosphere, Stalker is probably closer to FO1/2 than any of the 3D titles.

I kind of agree, except I don't think NV is a bad game, it's just a meh game.

This is what happens when you go to a voiced protag

Go to Diamond City and no one wants to talk, the entire main quest is just go somewhere and kill someone and that's it

The most robust tabletop system you can find. It's fantastic for world building and the only drawback is the extensive amounts of different rule books you need to cross reference, and the amount of cross references in each book. All that is solved by having a computer do it for you.

>>317694191
Nigger, are you telling me you need a fucking explanation for why game mechanics that allow for role-playing help define a game as an RPG?

What exactly does the term a "role-playing game" mean to you? RPG mechanics in Fallout 4 are few, true, but they're there. Now what does The Witcher 3 have that Fallout doesn't?
>>
>>317694219
Eh, Gurps is a bit too heavy. I know some people like when chatracter creation resembles Microsoft Access in complexity, but I prefer streamlining in tabletop with narration filling the gaps.
>>
>>317694282
>Nah man, an RPG is a game where your character, slef made or not is confronterd with choice and consequence
>confronterd with choice and consequence
>choice and consequence

So not FO4, then?

>>317694142
>Put on decent mid-late game power armor
>Tank through grenades without noticing and just ignore fire
It feels so good. It's also pretty neat to just fucking walk through water, even if I've had to tcl my way out of a few situations that Bethesda clearly never accounted for. Didn't really feel like leaving my T-60 and frame at the bottom of a well in a ghoul-infested quarry's mine.

I wish I had some people to play pen and paper stuff with. The possibilities for it seem incredible, but I've just never had any friends that would be into it.

>>317694430
Hard to say really a lot of the books are out of print. A softcover basic rule book would set you back about 20 bucks at printing, and the supplement books were anywhere from 5 bucks to 20, but there were literally over a hundred books in 3rd ed alone.
>>
>>317693967
You realize that basically makes the term meaningless right? If every game is an rpg, why bother saying it at all? The answer is that when we say role-playing game, we have ideas about what qualities are associated with role playing games. It's like saying that cereal is soup; it might be technically true but if I say "want some soup?" you have an idea what I'm referring to, and it's probably not cereal. Cereal is at the edge of the schema. Some soups are more 'soupy' than outer examples like cereal. Likewise when we say RPG, we have ideas about what that means. Technically every game with a player character is an rpg, but when we say rpg, we aren't likely to be referring to this; there are aspects of a game that make them more or less RPG-esque. The witcher has lost enough attributes associated with core RPG examples to say that it's less of an RPG than Fallout 4, which still has more of them. There may be a gradient of different hues between red and yellow, but they aren't the same color. We can say some oranges are more red, and some more yellow and not be wrong.

>I wish I had some people to play pen and paper stuff with. The possibilities for it seem incredible, but I've just never had any friends that would be into it.

I don't know what your town is like but most comic books stores around me run groups. However this is not me saying go join these groups, because they're not fun, go there, hang out for a couple of sessions weed out all the edgelords and find a nice bunch of people who are fun to hang out with and try to organise a group with them at another time at another place.
>>
>>317694551
>Gurps is a bit too heavy.
Pen and paper is, on a video game it streamlines. Look at J. E. Sawyers Fallout pen and paper if you want to see what Fallout would look like on the table top. It's a hot mess without a computer running all the calculations, and that's after they turned SPECIAL into SIMPLE and tried to streamline the system.
>>
>>317694753
Jesus fucking Christ, reel in the autism. Yes, in the absence of the DM, rpg term is meaningless cause you literally can't play a role if your options are limited by game's programming.
>>
>>317694581
There are consequences, we just don't see them all listed out in some big ending cut scene. They're more immediate, and perhaps just as long lasting.
>>
>>317694705
>but there were literally over a hundred books in 3rd ed alone.

>>
>>317694930
You can probably buy the pdf's from warehouse13 then find some print on demand store to do it for you if you really want to have a shelf full of books you'll use once then never have need for again because you only wanted a single table from GURPS Burrito for your game about Gundams running a Taco stand.
>>
>>317693956
SPECIAL was a hacked together system that happened when the GURPS deal fell through. GURPS would have been a much much better system for the game and would have resulted in much, much better combat than what we got.
>>
>>317694890
Not what I said at all. Roleplaying is feasible in a video game, given that the game sits in the place of the DM and the rulebook. This is good because I'll never have to see a game imitate a little girl with a gruff mans voice, and then pause mid sentence to wipe snot out of it's mustache. I was saying that the idea that every game is a roleplaying game, so some can't be less rpg than others was wrong. Roleplaying isn't some exercise in the freedom of the mind, or giant rulebooks wouldn't be necessary.

Op. Honestly. I found NV to be just a time waster. Even with the dlcs. It just was something to waste time on. It was more boring than 3. It was funny but it wasn't as fun I found fallout 4 wasn't as funny but was more fun. The only thing I would want from NV is the ammo bench and wild wasteland. Other than that NV was just boring.

You know, /v/ is the only place that says Fallout is god's gift to earth. Everyone else on the planet feels like the story in New Vegas was better, especially in regards to factions, but the exploration was mediocre and a huge missed opportunity. Lets be honest, why in the hell include one of the largest air force bases in the nation, and literally have nothing but paranoid former vault dwellers and fire ants? Where is the tech? or crashed planes? Or something. Overall my dream is Obsidian writes the story and factions, but Bethesda creates the world.

All the next TES will need to crush everything that came before it is for the combat to resemble an unlocked play dark souls.

Nobodies arguing against that. I was just saying alot of your average gamers think fallout 3 is the superior game compared to new vegas. I enjoyed new vegas's landscape alot more to be honest because every building had something interesting in design about it. Sure fallout 3 had a huge amount of interior's but most of the time it was just a waste to go inside of them and you would spend 20 seconds sitting on a loading screen waiting for it to load just so you could kill 3 radroaches then get a few things of radaway and water.
