Fallout vs Skyrim

Post » Tue Dec 01, 2015 7:30 pm

I think that alot of the hype for fallout 4 is more a roll over from skyrim
Hearthfire demonstrated pretty basic building and weapon customising was in the base game.. and it was fun. Alot of people picked up the game, even teenagers.

And then all of a sudden, heres another roleplaying game from bethesda.. Its got better base building, customisation and theres guns?!?!? Hype train pls

That's a good point. Skyrim was often described as being the RPG that hit with a lot of people who wouldn't normally play an RPG. Like you say, now with Fallout 4 we have tech and guns, as in not a medieval type setting, more of a focus on FPS gameplay, building which is like the hot feature of gaming today. You could kinda say it's a continuation of what Skyrim did.

Of course this can also be a very dangerous road, leading to a Fallout 5 which is barely an RPG. At least then diehard Fallout 1 & 2 fans can retire and relax, giving up completely, and let the Fallout 3/NV/4 fans take up the campaign of complaining about how their game has been ruined :).

Lets not forget that it was made to be fun, not logically correct :)

The issue being with both FO 1 and 2 being available again Commercially they wont die off anytime soon. Digital distribution has for the most part reanimated a LOT of games.
