So almost a perfect game!? man the internet had me feeling like the game would be shit, looks like it is the shit!
Fallout 4 - Reviews thread
- Thread starter J 0 E
- Start date
This is one of my favorite positive review excuses so far! Along with:
"The review system is obviously broken"
Keep it coming guys. I am loving the hypocrisy. Some of these same people were posting and quoting the bingo cards before the reviews, preemptively attacking those defending the bad reviews.
Not bad, even if TH had literally no involvement in that.
Really weird that so many reviews don't mention framerate drops, loading times and the specially the new dialog (I've yet to see one give an opinion on it, good or bad).
lol
Positive reviews but I'll have to play it for myself. Aside from New Vegas, I haven't been too keen on the past Bethesda games despite glowing praise from gaming outlets. Shame that the technical issues still persist and there isn't a lot of talk on the dialogue system. I wanted to know if skill checks still existed and if you could approach things differently if you had more proficiency in say, Intelligence or Perception. The social aspect, characters and interactions were my favourite parts of New Vegas and I hope that's still there in some capacity, though I'm not too optimistic about that being the case.

But, I mean, nobody was saying that. Everyone obv expected high scores because |[X]Bethesda games review well even when they're shit anyways|. These fine fellas were just expecting the game to get called out for its problems in the text. None of them went as far as to assume that review scores would be so divisive and low that those darn blind fanboys would file in here wielding their incoherent rage.
aight I swear this time I'm done

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Giving it a 9 while one version literally reaches 0 FPS is despicable.
Scores are still scores. Ultimately it is whether we enjoy the game or not and people enjoy games in different ways. It is not always about the graphics or story. Sometimes we play games to "escape" the real world and that is why immersion is important - which makes Bethsoft games successful l guess. I have played FO since the first iteration and it is always the post apocalyptic setting that captures me. Witcher 3 or Dragon Age can be superb open world games but not all gamers can indugle in a fantasy setting.
Again, how many people (outside of GAF) are bothered by good FPS and the bar high criteria we set here for modern gaming.
Sorry, English not my primary language.

Which version is that?
It says more than 50 hours in the review.

Are they? It is a pretty chill thread all things considered. Not sure why some of you are so into drama.
Most people admitted gameplay would be fun. Folks had thoughts on the technical issues (which are present). Most were still going to buy the game, not sure why you are still going on like you're Bethesda PR.

The amount of time/content based on the settlement building stuff is bad bad news.

How fast do you think this will become $40? With GCU, I can get it for $48 + $10 rebate credit.

I don't honestly believe people were expecting bad reviews for this. It's a Bethesda game. Every last one of their flagship RPGs in recent years has been a cobbled-together repetitive jankfest with no soul and they all hover around the 90 mark on Metacritic.
Why would this be different?

Watching the Giant Bomb Quick Look. Are they playing on easy or something? Enemies doing no damage.
They're tied to charisma+perks now, not skill.

Xbox One has stuttering issues which will hopefully get fixed with patch.

There was that 5 minutes inside Doc Mitchell's house that I forgot that I loved to kill things, but thankfully his psychological evaluation reminded me quickly.

Good! So the game is playable on PS4.

Next year by black friday you should be able to buy the GOTY version in the cheap.
I'm all over the "BGS makes mediocre content" line of thinking but I guessed it would get a 91 in the metacritic getting thread.
When was the last time a non-yearly AAA game scored below like... 85? Does it even happen?
Resident Evil 6 got 67-74 depending on the version. The last two Gran Turismos were under 85.
Not if it is anything like Skyrim you won't.

I'm watching you
Sterling said this, too. Said he had no noticeable frame rate drops and that the technical quibbles were minor.
They are reviews? They don't mean anything really, never have.
"One of those versions, MAN!!!!!! But that's not the point, geez, why you gotta bother me with wanting details!!!!!!!"

Whats weird is the continued different experiences people have on supposedly like consoles. MANY people, including myself did not have the experience that say Digital Foundry is reporting. And if you look at the underlying meaning in that...its wild.
So strange, you just reminded me I attended a New Years party you were at years ago. I completely forgot you lived in MS.
There better be some fucking Nuka Cola left at Target, damn it.
Really great to see pretty much everyone is enjoying the game. I need a sick day.

X1. Bethesda apparently is above reproach tho.
Xinput is standard across PC games now.
There are even wrappers available to get the DS4 or Gamecube controllers working with Xinput.
Have you seen any video or screenshots of them?
I haven't seen a single one, and no reviewer has mentioned them.
I always play Fallout by going high charisma and talking my way out of everything.

I tried several times to get into Fallout 3, but it never really clicked, and now I'm thinking maybe it was because of the combat. I'd love to get into the Fallout 4 hype with everyone else, but is the combat different this time around?

Yeah that is crazy. Bsiggs had it for a while and it sounded like he had a pretty good experience as well.

For me, and some reviewers apparently, too much. I have no intetest in base building/micromanagement stuff.

Jeez that's quite a narrative there. Would you like more salt with your salt?
I got the game already. There's a fair amount of those, and they're color coded by difficulty in the dialogue wheel from yellow to red.
Jolly good to hear.
Why does the geek in me now want to play this with a gamecube controller?
