Answer: Fallout 4
There are bunch of crap, but I still love this game. I hope they can keep it up and keep fixing this game.
luv it.
except for the dialogue interface
still can't stop playing...
I am liking the game a lot. Sadly I couldn't play it much because I kept getting sick, but I think my body is finally adjusting to Fallout 4 now. So really enjoying the game. Is it my favourite? Can't say. Didn't like Morrowind at first. Thought it was a dumbed down version of Daggerfall. Now love Morrowind. I hated Oblivion at first, it wasn't the promised Morrowind 2.0 and now love the game. Thought Skyrim was ok, but love it. Same for Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
I am sure I will love Fallout 4, but right now enjoying it a lot.
I've logged around 450 hours in it, so I think a resounding 'yes' is a safe answer to this question. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. It certainly has some faults and some things I'd love to see improved, but on the whole I'm incredibly satisfied with this game.
Love it... by far the best Fallout game... Bethesda really knocked it out of the park with this one!
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3249/?, set the difficulty to easy, use sarcastic dialogue options, have high Agility, Perception,charisma and Luck, use a lot of VATS, avoid settlement building, and i'm having A LOT more fun than my first playthrough.
Agree on all points, except I'm not all *that* impressed with the glowing sea. After exploring it once, it doesn't have much return attraction for me. And the settlement system, especially the building interface, has little attraction to me either. Make it easier and give them purpose, and that would change.
I've put a lot of hours into it and had a lot of fun playing it, but it's like a GF/BF you have fun with for a while cuz they're cute and ok in the hay, but you can't overlook how shallow they are, and all the shortcomings and things they'll never be that you've got to have before you go buy a ring.
I like it a lot.
There are some other games that have story beats that are more moving.
But this is a world I enjoy spending time in.
Overall it's a good enough game. Don't much care for the rehashed parent/child thing, but at least the writing and quests have improved some. Far from perfect, but at least it's a start.
I still think Beth needs some fresh blood working for them, as IMO, they are suffering from a real lack of creative thinking. This needs to change.
and yes, they are relying a little too much on the FPS side of things, and not enough on RPG, but it is what it is, and for what Beth is trying to accomplish with Fallout, I think they've done well enough...even if I don't like or agree with everything they've done with it.
I spend to much time managing the inventory, there is too much stuff laying around.
For me it's a step down compared to fallout 3.
It's fine. I like it mostly because it's not a bad shooter. The previous 3D games required a lot of fooling around because I refuse to use VATS and they were poor shooters. Still, I did fine in them, but only because of overly tactical play. It's nice to just outfight the enemies, instead of arranging the situation so I would win.
I remember killing a certain pass hogging, blind, it's a joke right, Deathclaw and used well over 100 .38 rounds. A chore.
Maybe I'm easy to please, but I think it's great. I'm at level 70 and probably 200 hours in and I refuse....REFUSE to dissect and pick apart this game. Some things are great and some things are not so great - the same could be said for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Maybe certain parts aren't the best, but the SUM of the parts resulted in a great game for me. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm grateful to Bethesda for giving (most of) us fans what we wanted.
The good definitely outweighs the bad. I'm enjoying it very much.
Well, this has gone off topic, best I sort it out.
Edit:- OK, I have deleted about a dozen posts, they have gone from here but are reposing quietly in our Trash forum where they can be easily resurrected to add to any warnings that need to be handed out in the future.
So guys, stick to the topic please, I don't need the extra work.
I love it, one of the best games I've played. It sure needs some patches but I'm very happy with this great game.
I agree with the above, even if I do think it is worth its money, especially considering the rest of the AAA game market at this time.
I've put about 50 hours into it, and honestly I'm not interested in playing it much more at this point. It's probably been a month since I've even touched it. The characters I've encountered so far are just bland and boring, and I have no kind of attachment to them or any interest in dealing with them. The gameplay so far is nothing more than "Go to X, slaughter all of the Ys there, scoop up as much junk as me and my companion can carry, go back to a settlement to drop it off and tinker with some upgrades, and then repeat." The settlement building system has a lot of potential but right now is a frustrating mess to deal with. OTOH, for me at least it's been the most polished and bug-free Bethesda release I've played, though little glitches were happening more and more frequently around the time I lost interest in playing it. It just became more of a chore than fun.
I've been playing other games, mostly Witcher 3 and KOTOR 2, hoping that some time away from FO4 would spur me back into playing it. So far that hasn't happened, and I may end up shelving it until the mod tools are released and mods made with them start showing up.
Quite a big difference from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, which I played obsessively for hours on end whenever I had a chance.
The game is about 95% of everything I hoped it to be. The voiced protagonist is quite literally the only thing I don't like, and as far as massively hyped releases go that's a lot better than the last game I got hyped for in 2013 with Rome 2 Total War.
It joins the rest of the Bethesda games as hosting a character that I hope to be playing forever. Ive played 148 hours so far, probably nowhere near as much as some people here, since I like to spread it around my characters and I'm also working my way through a strategy game campaign all the time. On the topic of Strategy Maxson's Brotherhood of Steel joins the NCR and Caesars Legion in Fallout factions that I would absolutely love to play in some form of strategy game. The best way I can describe them is techno-fascist, and just as my character in Fallout 4 went dark with his power armour and heavy weaponry being used to gun down the filth of the Commonwealth the BOS are that right amount of dark to be a very interesting organization to play as and not just join.
It's hard trying to place my feelings towards Fallout 4... the best I've got so far is that: 'Fallout 4 is a game I like, in a series I love.
I can't deny I've enjoyed it, considering I've put 120 immersed hours into -- more than any other game I've played, probably since New Vegas.
But Fallout 4 isn't a seminal game in my life, it's probably not going to be a game I play in 20 years time, like the previous games in the series, it's not a game that will shape me as a person like 3 and NV did; imbuing me with values I'll carry for years to come.
Fallout is dead, too much has been removed, and I personally think it's borderline insulting to remove the traditional ending slides; especially while we still have Ron Perlman to narrate them, but that's just an instantiation of larger issues.Fallout 4 is fine in its own right, but I'm authentically worried that Fallout is slowly 'evolving' into Far Cry/Borderlands.
I hoping it will evolve towards Stalker. I doubt it will, but F4 is a step in the right direction.
i love the game but i agree as far the writing part, the world itself is fine, the buildings and locations are all good, the enemy selection is good, just the quest writing and make more distincted choices with more significat conseqences and a maybe some non violent approaches to some of the quests, but but overall its a great game i like spending time in the commonwealth.
I like it enough...really liked it the first few weeks, but have only been playing a few hours a week since...
overall though, it has kept me from even putting in Black Ops 3, which I bought at the same time (I dont like switching between 2 different FPS games..the sensitivity is rarely the same and messes me up)...so for now the CoD noobs are safe...but that will probably change in the next few days..
but then again, I am sorta enjoying my new way of playing my second character...kill pretty much anyone or anything that I can..
settler: "Oh are you here to help, did the minutemen send you?"
me: *backs up out of dialogue and pulls out shotgun* "yeah you could say that"
