'fallout 4 unplayable edition'...

 

[Magic Carpet]

I bought it last night, I've had 2 lockups working with an old save file. The load screens are unusually long. I'll need to start a brand new game and see if the issues persist. But right now I consider this an unplayable game.

 

[Topher]

Obviously they didn't charge enough and had to make some cutbacks.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I don't expect ES6 to be worth a damn at this point. Fuck, there's an actual chance Microsoft will gut the studio.

i'd say there's an actual chance that the studio's already fundamentally been gutted...

Why are remasters/reissues/whatever this is so goddamn hard? I don't care if you're trying to shop these projects out to some F-tier interns in India, these companies need to do a better fucking job. I'm sick of the "ohhh gamedev is hard and expensive and takes too long" whining from the PR shills. There's no valid excuse for this.

 

[majestix1988]

MS bought them, they released flawed game then a good remaster after this a broken failout 4

Wow, Gamepass do wonders on the studio that handled by Microsoft

 

[Pakoe]

Bethesda releasing a broken game? Aint no way

Wrong thread for this type of rant. This isn't a remaster.

This is the game, DLC, and "verified" installed creation club content all put together in one package, much like Skyrim Anniversary.

Fallout 4 1.0 also had bad issues on release. This is just Bethesda being status-quo Bethesda, including their jank engine.

Fallout 4 was just the first time reviewers and fans both finally started feeling fed up with it. Then 76 amplified the problem.

 

[Paasei]

It's a feature.

 

[IDKFA]

Typical Bethesda.

 

[xrnzaaas]

As always they're also ruining the experience for the owners of the previous versions. Bethesda never changes.

I wasn't sure how to categorize it because the changes seemed fairly significant, particularly considering how old the game is, but fair point.

The fact that Bethesda still managed to break it, though… incredible.

 

[Sticks]

Pretty cool right

 

[MMaRsu]

No surprise there

 

[killatopak]

Bethesda with their broken Anniversary Editions.

 

[Mayar]

Question for people who bought this: "Why do you hate yourself so much?"

 

[roosnam1980]

todd howard is a master of seduction

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Any of course the new update THAT NOBODY NEEDED breaks mods for thousands of people. For a company publicly saying they cannot leave SHITBRYO engine behind (for those that don't know - it's the engine created for Morrowind) because it would mean severely limiting mod creation they for sure hate modders.

 

[GymWolf]

Shit game got a shit anniversary edition, sound like poetry to me...

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Shit game got a shit anniversary edition, sound like poetry to me...

Since Starfield was not selling they need to do something to keep the lights on.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Corporate greed knows no boundaries. Here I am playing Fallout London, a fully realized new Fallout game and a very good one at that, completely for free. Lol.

 

[balls of snow]

I'll stick to my Goty edition. Count ourselves lucky they didnt port it to UE5.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Did this game get an actual performance patch or is it the same patch from last year but they added these mods?

 

[TheUsual]

I had to uninstall my Steam version and install the GOG version to keep all my mods (personal favorite the high fps fix that unties the physics and framerate) because of this.
I don't want to wait if that mod will be updated to this new update.

This shit is just too stupid on Bethesda's part.

 

[Ziglax]

They threw a hundred of fan made mods without testing and it causes crashes ? Mild shock meme.

 

[mitch1971]

16 times the bugs.

 

[Montauk]

I feel like Bethesda should be working on fixing the endless bugs in their many years or decades old games that have been released many times before they put out deluxe plastic rubbish for hundreds of dollars.

 

[Saber]

 

[Laptop1991]

I only play the GOG versions now, i've uninstalled the Steam ones, Every time Bethesda updates their games they make them worse not better, and they only care about creations these days and F76, 18 months to fix Fallout 4 that they broke!, what a joke of a company.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Outside of Blade and Doom, I'm done with Bethesda. They've been in gaming way too long for this bs, on top of their games looking like they were made for the 360 or PS3...

 

[Bernardougf]

Well at this point just look at yourself in the mirror and say " welp I guess Im retarded afterall"

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[Ceadeus]

You have nothing better to say?

 

[DenchDeckard]

So nothing changed when MS bought these studios. It would have been nice if quality improved.

 

[adamsapple]

You have nothing better to say?

To be fair, I also look at Bernardougf and say "well he's retarded"


i kid i kid

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Is this truly as bad as people say? Skyrims special edition was amazing and more stable for mods which is basically the most important thing. So I assume this should be like a Fallout 4s version of the special edition unless this really is worse?

I haven't played Fallout 4 in awhile but my game is already well modded and top tier making it easily one of the best game of all times like the other modded Fallout and Elder Scrolls games so won't risk buying it if it's not as good as what Skyrim's special edition was to Skyrim. Just wanna make sure it's not the typical Bethesda hate and is actually as bad as people say. Cause I'm sure there were some folks that dislike special/anniversary for Skyrim and it wasn't bad at all when I got them and was in fact much better like Skyrims special edition.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I didn't follow any news on this but what was even added? What is the purpose of existence of that version? On PC I mean, I don't care for resolution patches on consoles.

[Impotaku]

People have enabled them to get away with this shit for decades, yet they still keep buying it & then complaining about bugs. Bethesda are shit developers full stop they lack the talent to actually truly develop a fully polished game, they just let the community do all the work & finish their games for them it will never change.

Everything they touch turns to shit, another of their clusterfucks.

 

[Buggy Loop]

So it seems an all in one pack plus creations but nothing in the baseline experience changes graphically or system wise?

Waste of money then? Am I not understanding what it is?

 

[MiguelItUp]

This is absolutely perfect in combination with how much money they're asking for, lol.

 

[unfashionable]

 

[Fake]

I'm shocked. Todd how could you?

 

[LordCBH]

I bought it last night, I've had 2 lockups working with an old save file. The load screens are unusually long. I'll need to start a brand new game and see if the issues persist. But right now I consider this an unplayable game.

I want to be very very fair here:

I have FO4 installed on my Gen 4 nvme drive in my pc, and loading screens would randomly take ages even before this anniversary edition.

Thanks, Todd "It Just Works" Howard.

Skyrim Special Edition added a lot of engine and graphical improvements that both made it look better compared to vanilla and more importantly made it more stable, especially when modded.

Skyrim Anniversary Edition did pretty much nothing but bundle a bunch of Creation Club content and screw over the PC modding community.

Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition looks to be more or less the same as its Skyrim counterpart.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Isn't Todd's job right now to transfer his knowledge to the younger generation?

 

[Krathoon]

Ok. Did Steam auto update Fallout 4 into this?

Edit: Nope. You have to buy the upgrade and it is $40. Bite me, Bethesda.

Green Man gaming has the "upgrade" for $34.
