That's what I thought. And wondered why they'd use that shot for a Fallout 4 article. Ironic that the most iconic Fallout look comes from a non-Bethesda title.

Witcher 3 seemed to have focused on sheer volume of story and missions while Fallout was less focused and is a beast of its own grabbing some crafting with a physics engine, relatively large map size, highly customizable weapons, and a story that has multiple endings making an all around good game without focusing on any 1 aspect too hard.


Honestly Fallout 4 is like what Sonic Boom was trying to do, they tried fitting together having it be a platform, a fighting game, a racing game, an RPG but it did everything so poorly and tried to push it out before it was finished so it flopped.

New Vegas is probably as far east as you will find them.

If you decode that it says:



It will likely take the GECK to mod it into the game.

just to point that out: with the whole settlement thingie, they tried stg really risky that could've totally backfired. how often do you see that in an aaa title? that alone should earn them goty, really.

Yes Fallout 4 is unbelievable in its excellence. Am enjoying it even more than Fallout 3 which to me is the ultimate science fiction b-movie rpg. I find it pretty focused and what is cool is i can disengage at almost anytime and do something else. The different storylines really grab me with intense interest with incredible characters whose motives are very shades of grey. Pacing is also movie magnificent such as when seeing the Brotherhood Of Steel make a grand appearance in the Commonwealth like something out of Warhammer 40,000.

yes it should, everything they did was very high risk, high reward, the weapon modding, the settlement building, the story that branches off, honestly GOTY is just opinion and not baced on what everyone in the world is thinking.

Except FO4 didn't flop lol.



Only thing that separates Witcher from Fallout in my mind is the bugs, some being game breaking. Other than that though they are completely different games that I have sunk way too much time into...

thing is Bethesda actually fixes their bugs so instead of giving you a half finished game with 0 bugs they gave you a full game that needs a little bit of work, way less bugs than Sonic Boom or BF4 when they first came out anyway so I'm happy.

I think good advertising is responsible for that.



How many of the users tried a demo before deciding: ok, I've played the game and it's worth buying.



Not saying that the game is not worth buying thought.

If only that was true... Well hopefully, they won't try again to make money from mods fixing the hundreds remaining bugs when they're done updating the game.

"good advertising" doesn't account for the level of sales FO has seen. Besides,if it were that easy, every game would be a mega hit. It also with noting plenty of games FO out sold were advertised far more, like COD. All in all, that's a pretty weak line of reasoning

Yeah but this leaves only 2 possible options for people buying the game:



1. they played the demo and they decided they like the game and bought it


2. they presumed that fallout 4 was as at least as good as the previous fallouts



Might do a poll for this, would be interesting.

or option three, read reviews and/or watched YouTube videos. When I'm iffy on a game because of reviews and such, I often buy it, but not till months after release and the price has dropped quite a bit.

Does being a Witcher fan mean that you have to bash other games? It's so much better than DAI, it's so much better than FO4, it's so much better than ME3. It's really obnoxious to go to other game reviews and trailers just to talk about how much better the Witcher is.
