yes definitely read the depressing 80,000 word diatribe before starting, I personally never start a game without convincing myself it's a abomination to man and god first

there are a lot of games out there which are really fun in the beginning but the longer you play them the more glaring their faults become. this probably describes most games. u see this a lot in steam reviews - someone will have 80+ hours played in a game but the review is terribly negative.

Yes the general opinion of most just seems to be that it's a crap RPG but a great open world game.
It's 50% as well, so it's in the bag.

50% off I meant

I mostly regret the time I spent in F4. I agree with whoever said that it's a very lonely experience.

With some interminable tasks like structure / town building

Game is worth playing, but a step down story wise and construction from New Vegas.

It's a fun place to visit. Definitely worth playing if you can get it on sale? I dunno I played a fuckton and then all of a sudden hit a wall and got bored with it - unfortunately after I sprung for the season pass. I keep telling myself I'm gonna dip back in but haven't yet..

i've been playing fallout 4 for a few months now and i'm starting to get tired of it and there's still a ton of the world i haven't even seen yet. it's funny how none of the new stuff is really mandatory so it ends up feeling exactly like fallout 3/new vegas unless you opt into that stuff. i've only done the structure/town building a couple of times when it was required for a mission and i almost never use power armor. i've got like five sets of power armor stashed around the map but i never really feel like i need to use it.

it seems pretty even in quality with 3 and new vegas to me, which still shades as a disappointment for a next-gen game. it doesn't even really look much better than those games, and it's just as glitchy. i've still gotten a lot of fun out of it though.
― na (NA), Monday, 7 November 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link
I enjoyed it while I played it but I accidentally stumbled into fighting for a different faction than the one I wanted to, and while I keep meaning to go back to it I just never do... Could never be bothered with the building stuff and I'm the same with power armour, like I'd store it for when I *needed* it but then just go ahead and not use it anyway

I enabled infinite ammo and it makes the game much more fun imo
― calstars, Monday, 7 November 2016 21:37 (seven years ago) link
Still haven't finished this shit tho
i think maybe it's ... too big? i play a lot of open-world games but i think after this i'll need to play something more linear to take a break

i was reading that critical essay up there and it mentions so many things i haven't even seen yet
― na (NA), Monday, 7 November 2016 21:40 (seven years ago) link
I have yet to get this and I'm a little intimidated now!
Is there a PS4 version with all the DLC crap yet, or are they still chunking out DLC?
― mh 😏, Monday, 7 November 2016 21:40 (seven years ago) link
My approach on these, if the game allows it, is to take a linear path through to the end, and then run around doing other junk for fun, little clean-up quests. If the narrative branches a lot, then I'll play through a second time instead of doing things post-game, and not concentrate on getting to the end.
I just remember figuring out back in the Fallout 2 days that there was one gun store that had a fully-stocked basement, a single dude working there, and virtually no penalty for taking him out as soon as possible. Running around the wasteland and just blasting everyone after that was a joy.

I think that's the thing that was missing from Fallout 3. It really needed a trail of venomous candy just under the surface urging you to become a complete sociopath. The promise of reconciling with your father, who is a force for good in the world, is bullshit. It's a dog-eat-dogmeat world out there. Even if you help your people, they'll end up exiling you anyway.
― mh 😏, Monday, 7 November 2016 22:22 (seven years ago) link
i basically already said this but i think if you enjoyed fallout 3/new vegas and are ok with a game that doesn't really add much new to those games except a new story and slightly better graphics, getting fallout 4 is worth it. i think i paid like $20 for a used copy and i don't have any regrets.

I'm enjoying what little I've played, made a big mistake of looting loads and not saving - then dieing. Kinda stopped me from loading it up for a bit. I'll return, wiser.

The amount of mental memory these kids of games required is pretty great. It's almost like having a job
― calstars, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 00:21 (seven years ago) link
oh for heavens sake. I just spent 7 levels not realising i could activate the greyed out perks. So now my Strength is maxed out, but who cares.
― Ste, Wednesday, 14 December 2016 00:21 (seven years ago) link
flip side, I am enjoying it. Love the weapon crafting and half enjoying base building although don't see much point in it - at least gives me some reason to loot the shit out of anything though.
But yeah filling my fallout 3 thirst.
Flip again..
Some annoying glitch with mouse menu selection, why hasn't that been fixed?
Dialogue stuff is awful lol
Annoying dogmeat is annoying.

Not being able to update the radio playlists without disabling achievements is some bullshit imo

has anyone tried any of the dlc for 4?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 22 August 2017 22:20 (six years ago) link
Haven't. Supppsedly better than the main story, but that's it surprising.

Enjoying the series, I mean it's not setting my world on fire (ha) but still entertaining to me as a fallout fan.

I was worried with how stacked with REFERENCES the first episode was, but it soon goes its own way.I was surprised by how much of the show came from the very first game.
