Fallout 3 stands as one of the greatest games of the generation and Bethesda one of its leading developers. Fallout 4 is the most anticipated game that hasn't been announced. If it was real, could it be even better than 3?
Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."
It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder
The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.
It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.
I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.
I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.
It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
It may be years away, but whenever it arrives, Fallout 5 needs to improve on its predecessor in several areas.
They really need to get rid of weapon mods and bring back more unique weapons that are hard to get / find
They won't improve it other than a slight graphical upgrade. They have always been better at live action than making games.
Only way it could improve is taking it away from Bethesda and regroup Classic Fallout (1&2) devs with decent budget and time to make it.
yes they can.
Absolutely! The fallout games are some of the best games I have played for the current consoles. Loved 3 and New Vegas.
Might I suggest setting the new fallout on the west coast, preferably San Francisco.
It will be an amazing game but best game of next gen...no
I still can't believe they won GOTY with Skyrim, Studio of the Year at the VGAs and even Skyrim won Game of the generation on Amazon going head to head with the Last of Us
The comment about The Division and the car door made me smile.... That car door is the most famous on N4G. The seemlessness of the action is so beautiful.
Anyway! Back on subject! I came into Fallout late with starting with New Vegas and I love that game. Not sure if that made me bias but when I tried to play backwards to Fallout 3 it just didn't hit me the same way.
I hope Obsidian is given another Fallout game, they make the best stories, but a Bethesda Fallout is also great! Fallout 4 is my most anticipated next gen game, even if there is no news of its existence.
