With the pending releases of Fallout 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 happening just days apart, Skewed and Reviewed have posted an opinion piece asking if releasing two AAA games with huge budgets so close to one another is smart business or a risky move.
A new update is now available for Fallout 4. This update adds the ability to manage your control over graphic fidelity or performance and addresses some further stability and visual issues.
How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.
I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.
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.
This month is going to be crazy. You got COD, Fallout 4, Tomb raider and star wars. New game every week lol
Haha, I just wish they would have spread these games out a bit.
One thing's for sure though. The NPD numbers for these games are going to blow up, possibly even set records.
Fallout 4 has 5 years of strong hype built up. Game is going to sell a dump load. Definitely will outsell Skyrim and Fallout 3.
Still hasn't hit me that the game is a week away or the fact it exists after the years of speculation and rumors. I'm ready to lose my life to Fallout for the third time.
Different markets really, call of duty has always had a largely casual market, whereas fallout fans are getting ready to live and breathe fallout :p
I don't understand this logic, If people want the games they'll buy them both. Also preorders are a real thing. Most people that really really want these games already have them preordered both digitally or physically. It won't hurt sales whatsoever. COD will continue being a behemoth and do another 20 million in sales and another billion in revenue and Fallout 4 will ship 6 or 7 million copies when this is all set and done.
