ITT: Say something good about Fallout 4
I'll start. The armor and weapon system is on point.
The character creation is pretty good.
That's literally the only good thing I have to say about Fallout 4.
>>319742863
It's less bland than FO3?
It helps keep the causal shitters off of other games
It got me back into Fallout 2
>>319742863
It's a very fun video game even though it's way smaller than FO3, Skyrim, and NV
>>319742863
>the armor
>plastic shit you strap to your arms and legs
>synth armor looks like un-textured placeholder assets
>Better graphics than its predecessors by a lot.
>Toned down the stylized robot atomic age architecture and went with more of a realistic design.
>>319742863
>The armor and weapon system is on point.
>No weapon degradation.
>No armor degradation.
It was a pain in the neck in FO3, but FNV solved it. But they couldn't learn from their betters, didn't they?
>>319743117
>went with a more realistic design lighting scheme
>cranked the saturation to 11 and used a highly stylized color palette
also
>implying the ridiculous, satirical design for a lot of the technology and factions wasn't what made fallout good in the first place
>Tetris
>Uplay
>Uplay
>Motherfucking Uplay
When will they ever learn? The only games I've legit pirated (not for 'demo' testing I mean) are Uplay games.
Captain Ironsides is the best NPCWhy isn't there an ending to side with him?
I really enjoyed the pandering to SJWs and the linear game path with little meaningful choices.
>>319743068
Combat armor looks like shit too. None of the sets look like a cohesive suit. Literally just duct taped pieces on a shirt. I would wear power armor but now thats a finite resource
It made me appreciate New Vegas more
Everything the game tries to do ranges from mediocre to bad. I guess if i had to say maybe exploration? Its fun to just find new places to explore.
>Game needs more cool looking armour.
The part where the character is forcefully turned into a female deathclaw, and just after their human dick has been turned into scale-clad deathclaw pussy a male deathclaw comes from behind and fucks them senseless.
I especially like the part where the player is pregnant and later laying eggs.
It gave me a laugh to see people on /v/ pretend they like NV now that there's something newer to hate on.
>>319742863
power armor gameplay is a nice idea
character creation is good
>>319742863
It's better than FO3. The quest writing isn't that bad.
>>319743036
This
Better companions than every other Fallout.
>>319742863
The basic gunplay is pretty good. A few flaws here and there with clipping, but overall huge steps up from the other FO3/FNV.
The weapons customization system is pretty good. (It just didn't go far enough or interesting enough. Mods will fix it, I will shill though.)
Now, if they had actually had separate small guns/big guns/explosives/energy guns skill trees which both unlocked various upgrades, and which factored into the gunplay by affected reload time, chance of a jam, ADS speed, and sight waivering I'd have been stoked.
HATE NEWSPAPERS
It was nice to see more combat between random groups when you went around the map. Hearing distant gunfire and deciding between joining the battle, watching them fight or avoiding them was good. It made the city feel more lived-in, the world more alive.
>>319746240
I think it's a toss up between FO4's and NV's. 4's are seriously held back by the new dialogue system reducing any meaningful conversations to set events during their quests (and not all have quests) or during affection dialogue.
I really like Nick Valentine and Curie.
>>319746354
>NV
>strong independent BoS Felicia Day Lesbian who don't need no Elders
>boring, growling, tumblrbait
>genderqueer headmate supermutant so progressive

>drunken slut with a heart of gold
>ghoul nobody cares about
I especially liked how none of the human companions would follow you if you so much as WENT to the legion camp, despite them apparently being one of the 'totally joinable' factions.
Nope.
>>319746321
This was really great. Watching a vertiburt circle overhead, before dropping off a couple of knights to fight a super mutant horde, then seeing a group of synths teleport in to join they fray. Remains my favourite moment of the game.
>>319743465
>can't just be his chief navigator and explore the post-apocalyptic world with your robot pals like you're Columbus or someone
would be a better game desu
>>319746601
>reduces every characters to tumblr buzzword bullshit
so you have nothing meaningful to say
>>319742863
It capitalized on the the one thing Bethesda was good at in Fallout 3.
Atmosphere of the world.
The city area is really good as well as the Glowing sea.
>>319746601
>>319746601
>>319746601
i love you
post more often thx
>>319743064
It's smaller in size than Fallout 3, but there's way more to do and it's got far more verticality. So many of the buildings downtown are unmarked and have multiple floors to them. In a way I prefer it like this and in others I don't. It feels a little claustrophobic and small, but in other ways it also feels packed like there's always something to do just around the corner. I don't know how to feel about it.
>>319746919
>reduces every characters to tumblr buzzword bullshit
Yep. That's exactly what they did. Felicia -fucking- Day. The game was pure pandering, either to NMA or the idiot progressives that normally play fallout.
And the second Fallout 4 comes out, they slam it because they're forced to roleplay a gender-normative relationship. In a 1950's setting. Are you one of them, perhaps?
Companions are a bit more lively
>>319747183
Oh, god, why did I never do this?!
LA - SHAAAAUUNNN - DRAAAAA
>>319742863
I'm trying to think of an absolute positive aspect of this game for like 5 minutes, but so far only two came up:
Exploring is fun and the music is okay i guess.
The game just mostly fills me with sadness.
The story and dialogue is very good.
more of an rpg than poo vegas...........
>>319747183
>>319747360
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAH
>>319744258
anon please, this is my fetish.
>>319742863
itsfun
here are my characters so far
left was first playthrough, thinking i could just finish garvey's quest line quick, 2 days later still doing radiant quests
right is my no bullshit full playthrough, all mods are fine tuned for perfect gameplay
better gunplay, better crafting, better interface, better AI, better graphics, pretty much every aspect of fallout 3 was improved upon. the best part about it is a lot of it was made with the intention of it being modded, so tons of potential for future mods with all the systems laid out for modders like the crafting system and base building
>>319747523
Love the fact when it comes up, nobody talks about how great the game is on it's own.
It's never GOOD. It's always BETTER than FO3/Skyrim.
Courtenay Taylor does a superb job of voicing the Female Protagonist.
Not even sarcasm, she does a fantastic time at expressing emotion through informal factors of speech, like her voice cracking when masking barely contained grief, or her speech becoming unstable when angry. Not to even mention how she does the Silver Shroud lines.
Although she's still reading a shit script written by shit writers at the end of the day.
>>319747360
I agree. I like how the final act branches out a lot more than "go to hoover dam". And some of the conversations in this game were fucking awesome.
New Vegas attempted dramatic, but it bored the hell out of me. Even the best ones managed to be stupidly annoying in an attempt to be witty.
>>319742863
The writing isn't offensive
>>319747736
what about the male VA?
i dont think he's that bad.
>>319748103
some of his lines are really memorable. He sounds almost shell-shocked some of the time.
>>319747460
Let's build some happy little settlements.
>>319748103
Haven't played long with the male Sole Survivor at the moment so I can't really say but I haven't been as impressed with his performance as Courtenay so far.
I'll have to hit the more significant plot points to really see how well it does.
It's getting a fair number of bad reviews and didn't win anything at the Game Awards, suggesting some small victory over the hype.
>>319742951
This
>>319747112
Try harder next time
>>319748434
>all this well-reasoned argument
sure showed me.
>>319742863
Stomping around in X-1 armour makes you feel like a goddamn titan
>>319743595
Fusion cores are actually pretty plentiful. I've got at least 70 and that's just from scavving around
The graphics are sometimes kinda decent. Usually not though.
Gunplay is significantly improved.
The gunplay is good enough, making it a solid foundation for mods which is all the game needed to be
>>319746707
>you get to be his leftenant tho
>>319747734
you write like a moron
its a game series, comparing to previous iterations in the series is extremely common, sorry i have to explain this very simple concept to your blathering self of a man child
>>319748498
Don't be mad people didn't bite.
>>319747460
God bless
The character creator is a massive improvement for Bethesda.
I also like that the junk you find is useable for something other than ammunition in a joke weapon.
>>319742863
>basically no unique models
>90% of uniques are sold by vendors instead of being quest rewards/ rewards for exploration
>loads of legendaries completely broken and trivialize the game even on survival
>power armor a fucking vehicle
>rad draining max hp
>shooting mechanics best so far
>legendary drops
>base building
It got a few new things right and can be recommended but I still miss ye olde silent protag, dialogue system and general rpg elements.
>>319748678
>nothing to say, no defence. Just memes
Pls stahp.
>>319747112
>1950's setting
here we fucking go again
>>319742863
I like that you no longer have to enter a menu just to loot 2 or 3 items from a corpse. Really improves the flow of the game
>>319742863
the map might be smaller in size, but it's jam-packed with content, even to a fault because I keep walking past shit and don't remember if I've visited them or not, or that they're even worth visiting at all (many of them are the equivalent of Skyrim's copy-pasted dungeons, but they are not presented as such)
the towns and cities also have more verticality to them
>>319748103
>>319748167
are we talking about the same guy?
his line delivery is so bland and void of emotion compared to the female VA
it's like Jennifer Hale vs. Mark Meer.
>The weapon system is on point
Not really. The way the DR system works, you always want a single shot weapon with the highest damage possible. Automatics are almost completely pointless, energy pistols are too unless you want more carryweight or something which shouldn't even be a problem. The armor system I'll give you, shit is neat.
Anyway:
>Companions are leagues more compelling than FO3
>Story is also slightly better although they're really bad at making me care about MUH SON, I'd rather have just been a random joe shmoe who gets roped into the faction wars
>gunplay is legitimately somewhat better although it's definitely not perfect
>There's actually awesome atmosphere in the vertical navigation in some parts of inner-city boston, I'd love to see a full map that's just navigating a clusterfuck of a city
>Enemy animations and behaviors are generally better (save for humans which are still godawful, if I see one more faggot sprinting diagonally and maintaining perfect accuracy i'm going to lose my shit)
>>319748876
>The Fallout world is a satirical, post-apocalyptic depiction of the future envisioned by Americans between the late 1940s and early 1960s.
>1950's vision of the future
>"WHERE'S MY GENDERFUCKED LESBIANFRONTED MANGYN HUSWIFE?!
Not even worth listening to.
>>319748925
Haven't played with the female VA, yet, so I can't compare.
>>319748992
>"WHERE'S MY GENDERFUCKED LESBIANFRONTED MANGYN HUSWIFE?!
In the house next door apparently
>>319742863It's fun.
>>319748992
>1950's vision of the future
yes, in pre war 2077
game takes place in 2290 fgt
>>319746281
>Trailer shows that you can craft a quad barrel shotgun
>Get super hyped
>Can't actually do that in the game
Todd you fucking liar
>>319742863
The companions are a significant improvement from any previous Bethesda game and even previous Fallouts.
>>319748985
Yeah, I miss the DT system from FNV, which was kind of realistic and served the gameplay at the same time.
>>319748726
>that image
how
>>319748985
>The way the DR system works, you always want a single shot weapon with the highest damage possible. Automatics are almost completely pointless
Well, yeah, automatic weapons are pretty shit in general except for specific situations
>energy pistols are too
Nah, you need them against robots
>>319748985
>Automatics are almost completely pointless,
You diddn't spec into it. You're literally too stupid to build a character.
>>319749074
>FO4 companions have more depth then FNV companions
ahahahahahahahahahaahha okay kid okay.
>>319748992
Fallout 1 is BARELY '50s-wank.
It gets slightly more noticeable in 2, and then they just go balls to the goddamn wall in FO3, which stuck for every game beyond that point.
Way too many people just look at Fallout and think everything has to be atompunk or whatever the youngsters are calling it- for god's sake, Fallout 1 had a DESERT EAGLE as a common weapon. One of the least '50s guns I can think of.
>>319749056
>Thanks, Progressives! I can't wait for Gone Home 2!
>>319749063
It's still the 1950's vision of the future. No matter what actual year it is, that's constant.
>it's 2290!
>I MEAN COME ONNNN
>>319748925
And Mark Meer has the better performance, despite /v/'s memeing.
>>319749092
What's the difference between FO3/FO4 DR and FNV DT? I've never understood the difference between the two systems.
>>319748103
He works for some characters but not others. Listening to his delivery from my grizzled, scarred veteran was painful.
>>319749115
The buckets are screwed into the wooden fixture.
>>319747738
Why arent you sucking New vegas' dick like all of /v/?
Expect angry obsidrones
>>319748726
>legendary drops
How is this a good thing? Most of the time you will get USELESS shit like furious walking cane or hardened calibrated pipe pistol for killing Legendary Alpha Deathclaws and Legendary Mirelurk Queens. It's fucking terrible
>>319749176
Seems like you can't refute it. Not even him but you capitulated the argument the second you refused to even engage the point.
>>319749149
No, even with all of your points put into commando they don't give you an increase in DPS. The way the DR system functions, 30 10 damage bullets will always do less damage than a single 300 damage bullet.
The only exception would be if you're running a crit build. Maybe.
The companions are almost as good as NV's
considering how shit they were in 3, this is such a huge improvement from Bethesda
>>319749246
what, like in the bottom of the buckets?
>>319749229
>>319749230
DR stands for Damage Resistance. DT stands for Damage Threshold.
>>319747738
listen kid
insult obsidian or new vegas again and i will fucking kill you todd you aojisfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuck
>>319749259
Because New Vegas was horribly flawed. Most of /v/ just seems to love it since 4 came out. Before that it was all: >ENJOY YOUR BIG IRON SIMULATOR
/v/ is changeable, and doesn't actually seem to bother playing games, these days.
>>319749176
Who said anything about depth? Does something have to be le 2deep4u reddit tier in order for you to enjoy it?
>>319749335
Bucket:

there is a screw going through pjkahi (dunno what it is in English called) who is _ to the table.
>>319743229
Bethesda is just upset that NV is the top fallout game.
>>319746601
Back up the claim at least.
>>319749413
Bottom. The bottom of the bucket.
>>319749402
You haven't been here very long, have you? /v/ liked New Vegas quite a bit for years before Reddit invaded in full force.
>>319742973
Nothing can be more bland than Fallout 3.
>>319748726
>Legendary drops
Are stupid.
90% of the time there's no reason to go dungeon diving other than to say you completed the dungeon because you no longer get interesting uniques from doing so, instead it's literally fucking random. It might add a tiny bit of interesting replayability, but it gets rid of one of my favorite things about NV and FO3, finding cool uniques with legit stories behind them as a reward for completing a lengthy dungeon or a certain quest.
Mind there are still a few of those, but not nearly as much and they're still heavily overshadowed by regular legendaries you find on a ghoul's bloated corpse 90% of the time.
>>319749413
oh now i understand
>>319749312
I don't even have time or enough patience to tell him why he's wrong.
And I can't unless he's played Fallout New Vegas, which he clearly hasn't.
Objectively speaking? Multiple FNV companions have game-long quest-lines that have further reaching implications then "will they bang you yes/no, do you get their perk". FO4's companion quests amount to three conversations that trigger from affinity built up over insignificant events like fucking lock picking.
I could go on but if you haven't got the intellect to identify that yourself, then I can't explain it to you.
>>319748678
>>319748434
>>319749193
>Fallout 1 is BARELY '50s-wank
The lingo, the cars, the guns, the loading screens, the bloody intro. Did you even ever play 1?
gunplay and combat in general feel pretty polished.
AI sucks though.
>>319749360
What's the difference between the two systems or is it the same system just with a different name?
>>319749115
The buckets are heavier than the wood.
>>319749531
You've completely capitulated the argument, anon. The other guy doesn't even need to respond because he's already won, try taking the aggression out of your subjective views if you want people to take you seriously, my man.
>>319749429
>Back up the claim at least.
None of them will ally with the legion. Arcade leaves you for good after his companion quest. All of the companion endings can be horrible, EXCEPT Felicia Day's because they didn't want to upset their super-nerd-girl mascot.
Conversations, even when they were supposed to be dramatic (ie Mobius and ulysses) were hamstrung by either unfunny crap (raisin raisin raisin) or unintelligible rubbish (bear and bull, bear and bull).
All the characters look like frogs, and the women all have moustaches.
Enjoy never joining the legion, and having the NCR crammed down your throat.
>>319749115
The buckets are filled with something heavy. The ropes are tied to the buckets, and the ropes are strung through the hooks in the ceiling, and then back down to the board, where the ends are tied to the hooks in the board. The combined weights of the filled buckets are pulling down on the ropes, which pulls the board up against the bottom of the buckets.
>>319749674
'won'? The hell are you talking about lmao, we're just talking about comparing two games.
Maybe learn to not take the internet so seriously mate.
>>319749486
>reddit did it
Jesus Christ, son. Have some self-respect.
absolutely nothing
played for around 100 hours and there is nothing redeeming about it
>>319749230
>DR
Enemy always resists a certain amount of damage.
>DT
Enemy resists a large amount of damage below a certain threshold determined by their armor. If your weapon is powerful enough or has innate punch-thru, it punches right through the armor
>>319749763
I fucked 100 men, buy i'm not gay
>>319742863
the power armor feels cool but i didn't play until you basically have unlimited cores so it's probably just stupid then
>>319749627
I think DR resists a set amount of damage, where as DT straight up blocks a certain amount of damage.
So uh, doing 100 damage against a 50 DR will deal 50HP damage.
DT is a separate value for firearms, and if you exceed a target's DT, you deal full damage (it has an element of RNG), but if you don't, the armour blocks all damage.
I'm not entirely sure so anyone feel free to correct me.
>>319748925
>Jennifer Hale.
Bitch has a dyke sounding voice. I guess that goes perfect with the futafags and their pathetic lesbian fantasies though.
>>319749776
>>319749891
Ahhhhh I getcha, thanks lads.
>>319747108
Go to sleep todd.
>>319742863
game is great 9.8/10
to go into detail:
boston is the very best fallout map so far, a lot of interiors and variety in the map from the wastelands to big city to industrial areas and beach areas.
weather effects are top notch and its the first betehsda game were the rain dont go trought the roof when your inside a building.
weapons are super fun, legendaries bring a good spin to the combat..also a lot of variety in the enemies.
the lore is very good, reading all the computer terminals is super fun.
a looooad of quests.
building comfy and fun.
the gore is the best so far..
if i had one bad thing to say about fallout 4...rehashed songs from fallout 3 in the radio station
>>319742863
the mods
The glitches make it a thousand times more enjoyable
>>319749229
Hale spent most of ME2 sounding either totally exhausted or really bored.
>>319749589
The intro, sure. The cars, sure.
>The guns
Yeah, no. There's the alien blaster, maybe the Red Ryder and the completely useless Mauser, otherwise, nothing about the guns screams "the '50s!" Hell, there's a Desert Eagle, the blade runner blaster, and a futuristic AK variant.
>The lingo
Who and where? Fallout 2 maybe, but nowhere in Fallout 1 that I recalled were there people that acted like blatant parodies of the '50s like in later games.
>The Loading screens
Aside from one with Vault Boy, no?
>>319749976
Oh hey, someone who actually played it!
If you played on PC, there are some really good radio station replacers.
>>319749976
edit: the companions are pretty awesome lots of personalities and you ppl like to talk so much about "technology" ever realized that there are 9 companions and over 100 locations in the game...all companions have unique lines for a lot the places you visit in fallout 4 even not story related ones and they also talk in your conversations with unique dialog...thats pretty awesome
>>319742863
Bethesda managed to release another buggy half arsed game and get away with it
>>319749763
Imagine if this was true.
Imagine wasting 100 hours of your life doing something you hate with no purpose.
No reward at the end. Nobody forcing you to continue.
What would drive a man to do such a thing? What would he think about as his precious life slipped away never to return? Can a creature such as he even be deemed a man at all?
>>319750162
96 hours in and still not boring.
yeah i know, can you recommend me one?..i like ambient music that is creepy..but pls no silent hill..its overdone
Actually yeah, another positive I'll give FO4- I really appreciate how the companions have oodles of dialogue no matter where you go, it makes them feel a lot more organic. Even in NV where they were very well written in their backstories, they would grow to feel a little like robotic servants after you were through talking to them.
>>319750304
I mean, we're all still here
I like how it stops you from making the wrong choices and derailing the story by eliminating choice altogether.
>>319750304
700 hours on warframe, over 1k on planetside 2 here
life is meaningless kill you'reselve
>>319743978
Cage armour is really heavy and isn't that good tho unfortunately
>>319749674
This is /v/
>>319749694
Now was that so hard? Your claims can be taken with some credibility.
Also
>Enjoy never joining the legion, and having the NCR crammed down you throat.
I dont enjoy it anon. I screwed with every faction just to give everyone a hard time.
Also if you did the companion quests', they will join you whatever faction you choose, with one or two exceptions. Because the characters have their own back-story, they have justification not to join the legion.
Also Gannon can be convinced to stay, his story branches. You know like a proper RPG.
In my opinion NVs' companions are no gems, but they are a whole lot more interesting than 4s'
>>319750306
Personally, I like the one that replaces the classical music with postmodern jukebox songs.
Postmodern jukebox is a youtube group that remakes modern songs to sound more..swing and 1940's. Rocking the wasteland to the sound of "livin' on a prayer" in a lounge style is fucking badass.
There's also the one which expands diamond city radio with like..70 new songs. They're all on fallout 4 nexus.
>>319750304
I hated the fuck out of LoL and I played it, nearly exclusively, for an entire fucking semester of college.
>>319750327
That was nice.
However, it wasn't a replacement for having actual conversations with them. That part was too shallow.
Best case scenario, we'd be able to talk to them more and they'd say things in various points on the map.
The era styled comic in the loading screen.
Many characters are dressed up like greasers and call you 'fink' in the hub.
All energy weapons are parodies of real movie energy weapons
>>319750396
Those choices are literally the same thing.
>>319750327
I wish they either muted the pc or gave him more lines for questioning though. My buddy has all this wonderful dialogue and all my character can do is YOUR THOUGHTS? YOUR THOUGHTS? YOUR THOUGHTS? YOUR THOUGHTS? YOUR THOUGHTS?
>>319750440
>Postmodern Jukebox
fuck off
>>319750473
You can't really have conversations with them, but they often chip in if you ask them their thoughts after or during quests.
Like I asked Valentine how he felt after Danse suggested I join the Brotherhood and he felt we were "opening Pandora's box" which I liked.
>>319750540
>he doesn't like some youtube group
Oh well. Guess that's my life in ruins, m8.
>>319750497
welcome to Fallout 4, where "options" are made up and the choices don't matter
>>319750587
didn't need me to ruin your life if you like postmodern jukebox, because apparently it already was
>>319750497
I know right? It's great because you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing, since all options lead to the same outcome, there's no consequence to anything you pick.
The player can't be trusted to follow the carefully crafted narrative, so keeping them on a one way track like this is ideal.
>>319750478
That art doesn't look '50s-esque in the slightest, it looks late '70s at best.
Don't remember that as someone who played through Fallout 1 in November, but I'll allow it as a minor example
>All energy weapons are parodies of movie energy weapons
Examples? I figure the energy pistols could be, but the big ones?
>>319750432
>Now was that so hard?
I mentioned that before, but you chimped out over it, or something.
The fact that NONE of the human characters will join you if you go legion isn't excused by the fact they're all programmed to hate it. Why include the legion if they're going to be universally reviled, stuck on the corner of the map, and have a tiny handful of quests?
By comparison, the NCR are universally loved by the companions, have bases EVERYWHERE, give most of the quests, and have their own monorail to their own embassy on the strip.
Add to that the fact that casinos kick you out after winning a few thousand caps, and i'm done.
>>319750675
The "negative" option is supposed to be turning around and walking away but that isn't stupid or anything

>my views are objective
Your words have no sting, my friend. I like folk music, too, and my favourite thing about Black Flag was the tavern music. Which I have downloaded. ON MY SMARTPHONE.
Come at me.
>>319750440
i will look into it thank you!
>>319750396
I know that there are many examples of how pointless your choices are, but I think my "favorite" is the "not now/unsure/later" option, when you're talking to a trader.
What the fuck was the point? Yes, No, Talk-about-subject... and Maybe? It's just saying no. There's no difference between that and No. At least some of the other options let you play your character as helpful or aggressive, which is pointless but I kinda see the point, but there's no point in saying "not now, perhaps later".
They just had to have four options and couldn't think of more than three useful ones. Fuck them for being lazy fucks.
>>319750748
Legion was originally going to be a lot more fleshed out and Ulysses was originally even going to be in the base game as a Legion companion but it got fucked by a combination of console and time restraints, much like the strip.
>>319750831
No problem. Be careful with the mods, though. I'd recommend using Nexus Mod Manager if you've not done it before. The radio replacer ones won't cause any problems, but you might get crashes if you choose to add like..80 other mods, like I did.
>>319750823
that's ok, I have the Black Flag soundtrack on my old-ass iPod
but postmodern hipster scum are still postmodern hipster scum
It will get mods that turn it from a 4/10 game to a 6/10 one.
I didn't have to pay for it.

Fallout takes place in alternate timeline earth were somewhere in the 60s shit started happening differently than in real life.
>>319742863
im not playing it
>>319749504
Here's a pro tip, get the mod that lets you take em off and attach them to other items.
Best part, creator even made it so that it requires 2 scrapper, which is a fair balance I believe.
Long story short, modders to this day clean after those lazy ass fags at Bethesda.
And people were complaining about Obsidian games being buggy messes.
>>319750879
Yeah, I know. but that's not really an excuse either.
I think there's a mod to put those things back in? legion extended? The companions still hate them though, and they're still not a viable choice compared to the NCR.
I think I just hated the NCR by the end of it, because everyone seemed to love them so much. Spend most of my time in mod quests.
>>319742863
It's better than Fallout 3 and New Vegas
It's the third best AAA game to come out this year after TW3 and Bloodborne.
>>319750915
It's fucking great workout music. Got fit in a few weeks while rowing to dem shanties and shit.
>hipster
Yeah, I don't know shit about them other than ripping some of their songs off youtube. Don't really care to, I guess.
Bethesda seems like they learned a few lessons on how to not be retards at worldbuilding - Diamond City isn't just a garbage pit like megaton was, settlements can grow their own food and purify water, there are actual trading interests that justify economic classes (instead of there inexplicably being rich people in Tenpenny tower). There are a lot of problems, still, but it's not nearly as bad as 3 was.
Companions are generally interesting even if they don't factor into the story too much, and I like that they actually comment on things instead of following you around super quiet-like.
The gunplay is fun, I don't know if I can go back to New Vegas where enemies stand out in the open and get shot in the face.
The character creator is top notch.
The weapon/armor system is pretty cool even if it's half baked.
Honestly, I think it's a bad RPG but it's a really good shoot and loot game.
>>319746601
>strong independent BoS Felicia Day Lesbian who don't need no Elders
The reason why she's opposed to the elders isn't because she's rebellious, it's because the brotherhood is dying because it's stuck in its old ways
>boring, growling, tumblrbait
Boone? How is he tumblr? He's literally a stoic sniper
>genderqueer headmate supermutant so progressive
Not genderqueer, she's female. Also no headmates, split personality, which is a real thing
>blameless, faultless, wisecracking gay man
He mentions being gay once. He was also part of the Enclave and tells you he regrets it. How is that blameless and faultless?
>floating r2-d2
Robot that beeps = R2D2.
>drunken slut with a heart of gold
Actually depends on how you resolve her quest. She can be vengeful
>Ghoul nobody cares about
He's the best companion in the game
>I especially liked how none of the human companions would follow you if you so much as WENT to the legion camp, despite them apparently being one of the 'totally joinable' factions.
That's objectively wrong. The only companions that get upset if you went to the Legion camp are Boone and Arcade, and you can convince Arcade that you're just exploring other options
>>319743595
>thats a finite resource
It literally isn't.
Take scrounger and swim in fusion cores
>>319749504
Agreed, the legendary drops is one of the most retarded things this game could do. It made the weapons overall feel so boring.
Modders will hopefully make a good game out of FO4, with new unique weapons handplaced throughout the worldspace and dungeons. No fixing the shitty roleplaying though.
>>319750748
>but you chimped out over it, or something.
I only asked that you flesh out your opinion, cause your use of buzzwords made it look like you were shitposting.Also thats not chimping out anon, this is chimping out
>implying fo4 has good companions
>implying NV is not best fallout
>forgetting that NV has best choices
>reddit may-mays
You're opinion is shit anon and so are you.
>>319751053
I like shoot n loot. But being a cowboy with a PhD who used to be a mailman was super fun
>>319743595
Just become a master shekelmeister, weapon vendors always offer a healthy supply of fusion cores.
You should always be selling
>Weapons and armor you don't want or need
>Chems you don't use
>Pre-War money
>Packs and cartons of cigarettes and cigars, both are a decent supply of caps
>Ammo you no longer need, you'll be finding oodles of .38 ammo for most of the game but you shouldn't be using it after you get a halfway decent non-pipe gun
Fallout 1 and 2 were really good at teching me that if you aren't using it RIGHT NOW and know for a fact you won't need it later you might as well sell it. Hoarding is pointless.

Ideal way to make monies for fusion cores

I haven't paid for a single one in hours and hours.
>>319751427
we're fucking right now. This is how our race fucks.
The 60 dollar pricetag convinced me not to buy it.

Keep it going then. This shit is hot
It.... sold a lot?
>>319742863
there ARE choices in fallout 4
just one example:
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Devil%27s_Due
cherry picking much with "unlimited quest" dialog choices screenshots
>>319751036
Will someone edit this so the 'Todd' asks about Booster seats?
>>319743229
Yeah, removal of skills and equipment degradation is a huge complaint on my end. Half the fun is just tinkering and maintaining. I get some fill out of the weapon customization, but the fact that I can't make my own ammo or build guns out of the individual parts makes me pretty salty.
It has enchanted weapons.
Unfortunately, enchanted weapons don't belong in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi game.
It's easy to mod. I already have over 50 mods and the game has improved massively. Can't wait for the creation kit to come out. This is one thing Bethesda does better then any other devs. More devs need to open up their games.
>>319742863
Despite an absolutely disgusting script and horrid RPG elements overall, the story wasn't too bad and they did well with considering the 200-years and true nature of the Brotherhood when they were writing the game.
>>319742863
The glitches are hilarious.
>>319751036
THE BEST!!!!!
Fuck TW3 and Bloodborne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>319751847
fave mods so far?
>>319751728
There is a mod that lets you do the ammo, armor and weapons crafting.

FO5 can't possibly be worse.
>>319751912
Can't pick a fav over all. But.
True Storms for immersion.
Expanded settlements for building.
And armor and weapons crafting for gameplay.
>>319751598
It's funny because you have to cherry pick to find the actual choices that aren't just [yes] or [sarcastic yes], and even when there's any choice there's never more than two and they always feel unsatisfactoy.
Honestly people who defend the paper thin RPG aspect of this game are impossible to take seriously
>>319751930
>Implying there's any companion worth having over based Raul
What, you don't like lipstick lesbians and cutesy robots?
>>319752002
>True Storms
That makes everything foggy for me, all the time. I think I need to tinker a little.
Place in Red is pretty fucking useful, but you need to use cheat engine. let's you place settlement items..in..uh..the red.
>>319751972
Don't be so sure.
>>319752089
Change the time scale? I forget the command but its on the mods nexus page. Makes everything last longer. Not sure why you are just getting one effect. Mine changes. Never tried it before changing the time scale so that might be it.
>>319752032
>not liking based ED-E
what are you, some kind of faggot?
>>319742863
The molerat disease. It's so good when the game doesn't mention anything about this permanent effect, you give away the only cure for it and you notice it after about 100 hours into the game. It's so funny when these players with autistic brains flip their shit and don't know whether to start the game over again because of roleplaying effects, or continue and suffer every step after this!
>>319752232
I'll give that a try, thanks!
>>319752234
>forming forced attachments to cutesy robot characters you're supposed to like
No thanks, breh.
>>319752496
The molerat disease was a great idea that was pulled off in a sort of mediocre fashion.
It's dumb that you catch it if your companion gets bitten, it's dumb that Curie wouldn't know how we could produce more components and go looking for them with me, it's dumb that the game doesn't account for it if you avoid catching it and your guy is like "there's only... one...?" even if you're clean, and it's dumb that you can't tell the doctor "actually i'm affected by this horrible life-threatening disease too and it's possible I could fucking die if I don't take this"
But the idea of forcing the player to sacrifice something real when playing a good character is an awesome idea, yes.
>>319747112
why do people get grumpy dumpies when a character is voiced by felicia day. i mean i dont like the bitch but i dont care if she voices a character
>>319752794
>grumpy dumpies
Well, biddlypops, I guess i'm getting a schmeezy case of the bluesies because the character is based solely around what Felicia Day wanted.
She's basically a 17 year old idiot who knows what's best for the BoS, and her bad ending (while the others end up slaves or killing themselves) ends up with her getting huffy that the BoS won't see that she's right, and leaving.

Been asking for this since day one. Coolest faction by far. Would love to see the constitution broadside the prydwen and see the entire brotherhood freak out to knights fully armored get rekt by fucking 1700s cannonballs and shit.
If only
>>319752794
I care because she has an awful voice
>>319752968
It'd make a great mod. Reprogram the robots to think that the institute is a British convoy, or something.

I know I'm gonna get shit on for this but I honestly think the voice acting/dialogue in FO4 is better than Witcher 3. I'd even go as far as to say the story's better too but I haven't finished Witcher yet.
Witcher is just kinda cringe to watch/listen to, feels amateurish for some reason
>>319755364
you're damn right you're gonna get shit on because you're a retard with no taste
>>319755516
Get fucked. Fallout 4 feels natural, Witcher 3 feels stiff and tries way too hard to be "epic". Geralt's voice acting is stilted as fuck
>>319755601

Best gameplay of 2015
Best open world ever created
Some amazing locations
Serious improvement on the engine and the animations
Huge content
Best quests/npc/locations/weapons/choices are hidden and encourage exploration
Glowing Sea is 10/10
Power armors are good
Storms and weather are solid and already 10 times more brutal with mods
Mods have already fixed a shitload of issues with the game, without mod tools
Mods
Mods
Mods
Dialogue and RP are casual niggershit garbage, everything else is 9/10 at least
>>319756838
>best open world ever created
not only is that objectively false, it's not that much of an accomplishment in the first place
>>319746962
Glowing sea could've been a lot better though, maybe add more places to explore, damn place is like new vegas
It made me start a new playthrough of NV which has been a lot of fun so far
>>319743595
>obviously doesn't know about sturdy/heavy combat armor

Name one better open world, not counting Skyrim that was number 1 until F4 release.
>>319742863
fo4 has some good ideas. synths, curie, a faction of super scientists (lol steal from OWB). but execution is terrible, and writing is a train wreck. nothing to salvage.
oh yeah, gunplay is gud, not very gud, but gud.
