Fallout 4 doesn't stand out at all, the way Fallout 3 did. It looks so generic and basically it's a proof that everything will be and is generic these days.

Fallout 3 never made me cringe. It was a game that told a serious story and had a very dark tone in general. Fallout 4 looks like a bad comedy to be honest. Everything from the talking protagonist to the family and baby life...awful.

I don't care about a family or a baby. Fallout 4 is starting to look more and more like The Sims 4.

Why Bethesda? How could the makers of Fallout 3 make something this awful?

3 / 10

Because Fallout 3 had nothing to do with Family. That whole looking for dad thing never happened. And there never been comedy in Fallout ever.

My impression was exactly the opposite.

Fallout 3 was aesthetically dark, but not thematically.
Fallout 3 had a rivalry between psuedo-super heroes, a quest to find daddy and a storyline that the majority of the fan base considers to be an almost purile story of black and white morality.

I seldom defend fallout 4, but a bright colour scheme doesn't preclude a dark and sober narrative, or gameplay experience.

Someone obviously never stood around listening to mutants talk.

Agree on most points, though I have no idea how you propose to know what most of the fan base thought of the story line.

Or that quest between the bug lady and robot guy.

HOLD IT!

How exactly is Fallout 4 generic!?

All Fallout games had a dark comical sense to them, and all fallout games had some type of family dynamic of some sort.
I suggest you go back an?d look again, you'll see you missed the mark with your idea of what Fallout is.

Fallout 3 was depressing. The storyline was serious from start to finish.

Fallout 4 is just like New Vegas.

Then I'm going to love Fallout 4 more then Fallout 3. New Vegas is my favorite Fallout.

So going into a black and white VR simulation to rescue your dad from a mad scientist is serious?

Sarcasm? I hope.....

Yeah... nope.

Fallout 3 had the cringe worthy "green" theme to it, it gets really old REALLY fast and then you have to live with it.

Hope this doesn't start the whole "Diablo 3 svcks cause it has rainbows" debacle all over again. Unless Bethesda also includes a place full of flowers, teddy bears and unicorns because of it, then I'm all for it!

EDIT: wait, no, Bethesda would just scratch the game, that's what they do.

lol u really dont know what u speaking about, first adding more color is just to improve, this way they can add different tone to different zone, the whole gray/greenish tone on fallout 3 was horrible after spending 4hs on the game.

and the whole story about Fallout 3 was u fallowing the steps of ur dad. And the true Fallout 3 dont have a dark tone on the story i cant see where u getting that feeling.

Plus u speaking about a game u didnt play, u dont know the story about it.

before saying stuff like this u should play the game.

Tranguility Lane was creepy and in my case the only unbearable part of the game. It was definitely depressing and a scary concept. So if you think a mad scientist keeping people locked up in a fake world for the rest of their lives is funny...then I'm worried.

There was nothing funny about Fallout 3.

Fallout.....dark?


Are you kidding me?


Go play "this war of mine." Then maybe you can talk about how dark a game is.

Well there were Giddyup Buttercups a lot in F3, and teddy bears too.

And i do expect them to bring back the garden gnome - teddy bear wars. And this time i want to see some spilled stuffing!

WHAT???????????????????????????????????????????????????

yeah bc Fallout is about dark depressing stories that make u want to go sleep and cry....................................................

Fallout as a whole use dark humor, everything on Fallout is just about making dark jokes about reality Tranquility lane was funny. nothing is serious about Fallout that is the whole idea.

Lol if i want to play a depressing game i will go play The Last of Us.

Ohhh i forgot the most serious part of Fallout blowing up the head of a raider with a teddy bear -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.- -.-

Totally false, of course, as is typical of Eden's posts here. He doesn't even know what the majority of the fans think of FO3. No one does as no research has been done on the subject. However, if we use the business success of the game and the overall reactions of industry personnel, critics, and consumers, we can easily see that the majority of people loved the game regardless of the qualities of the story or combat or any other factor that someone might focus on.

I'd suggest that any so-called "fan" who thinks that FO3 had a poor story may want to debate their viewpoint with Liam Neeson who stated that the story was "very good" and who has far more experience in evaluating such works than general consumers/players. Such "fans" may also want to create their own game with what they consider a superior story so that their viewpoint of what is superior can compete with Bethesda and others in the industry who actually work in this particular field. If they do not undertake such tasks, they surely have no grounds whatsoever to claim that FO3 or any other story in any game is somehow lacking, not as some type of objective fact or observation as they almost always claim. They are certainly free to state that a certain work wasn't their preference as that is merely voicing their opinion. That is entirely different than what we usually see posted here and many other places, though.

By the way, FO3's story had nothing to do with "a quest to find daddy". It was a quest to bring pure water to a war-ravaged wasteland, but that's only assuming that you roleplayed a character who actually took up that particular quest. Claiming that it was "a quest to find daddy" is like claiming that Oblivion's story was "a quest to find the Joffery and deliver the Amulet of Kings".

As for OP... FO3 was dark and serious, yes, as it was intended to be. However, it also had plenty of dark humor as Fallout has always had. FO4 hardly seems like the Sims in any way. Sims is a totally different type of game for a totally different audience/market. Closer comparisons can and have been made such as comparing FO4 (what we know so far, at least) to the original Bioshock (which was also very dark with very dark humor).

I still want to know why you think Fallout 4 is generic.

In what way is this game "awful?"

Many posts removed.
Wow, some people seem to be confused about what trolling is.

Just because someone starts a thread that discusses their concerns or dislikes about what FO4 is going to be, does not mean they are trolling!
You know what IS trolling?? Derailing a thread by calling a person a troll or spamming nonsense.

If you're here just to ruin threads because you can't handle that other people have opinions, you won't be here much longer.
