6 Games That Are Much Better RPGs Than Fallout 4

vgPWN:

"Few games have been as long anticipated as Fallout 4, and its release divided the gaming community among those who couldn’t get enough and long-term fans who felt duped. Although FO4 is advertised as a shooter/RPG, it actually lacks a lot of the elements that make RPGs so distinctive, so here are six games you can check out for a much fuller RPG experience than the one in Fallout 4."

scottypops2944d ago

Why put other fallout games on the list. I get that you mentioned better than fallout 4 but it kind of defeats the purpose.

Black0ut2944d ago

IMO it's important to have those previous fallout entries on there. Many people including myself regard New Vegas as a far superior game over Fallout 4, I personally think they screwed up. Matter of opinion though obviously.

madmonkey012944d ago

I found new vegas the weakest of the modern style fallout games.

Black0ut2944d ago

@madmonkey01 and that's the joy of opinions! :)

GreetingsfromCanada2944d ago

I'm also going to include Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on my personal list because I am that confident that it will that good

I-Hate-usernames2944d ago

Fallout 4 is not that good to be honest.

Clown_Syndr0me2944d ago

Fallout 4 was pretty repetitive, I didn't really connect to the story or feel ere was much to discover.
Ok yes, lots of buildings etc, but how many times can you enter a random building, clear enemies, rinse and repeat.

_-EDMIX-_2944d ago

Because you know a video game that isn't repetitive?

Of course you are going to do many of the same things in a game like this considering it's still limited by the genre it lies in.

For example in something like Witcher series are you not going to do Quest, completion, level up repeat?

The fun for me is actually just doing that going from Quest to getting rewarded to leveling up and repeating....

In Fallout it is getting the loot, exploring new buildings, completing the quest, selling your junk repeat etc.

If that is the entire game I'm actually still quite fine with that setup as exactly what on Earth are you honestly expecting the game to be?

Clown_Syndr0me2943d ago

If I find a game repetetive to the point of bordeom I wont play it. Dont grt defensive, Fallout 4 was sleep-inducingly boring for me.

You cannot compare it to The Witcher shich had variety in its locations, character's, quests etc. Fantastic and engaging stories in every quest. It was a masterpeice.

I expected, as it ix Bethesda, to maybe have the depth of Oblivion or Skyrim...or even New Vegas! But it didnt didnt even come close. I think it was dumbed down for the "cod generation".

_-EDMIX-_2943d ago

" The Witcher shich had variety in its locations, character's, quests etc"

They both had many different characters, many different locations, and many times different quest, but the bulk of the quest will always be kill this monster, get paid etc.

That isn't to say that is a bad thing, its just the motif of the game.

Sorry bud but you are still doing many of the same things over and over again even in the Witcher, but that is sorta expected. Did you really just think EVERY mission in those games would be completely different?

"engaging stories in every quest" Subjective, many quest in Fallout 4 where "engaging", sorry bud but both games had great stories, great quest etc.

I own both and can tell you...BOTH had great a lot of things, its not this either or bud, as if you can only have 1 game or something LMFAO! I've never heard something so ridiculous. I may like a game more then another, but I'm not going to exaggerate something to a degree of claiming its um "boring for me".

The quest differences are not night and day bud, both have memorable quest.

" shich " ?
"Dont grt" ?

"repetetive" ?

"masterpeice" ? Wow buddy, seriously work on you're spelling, its not really helping you're point too much...

Clown_Syndr0me2928d ago

I'm typing on mobile it's hard lol, you don't need to get defensive. I own both too. I own many games I don't like, fallout is one of them. Nothing you say is going to change my mind. You clearly get very emotional over differing opinions so I will leave it that, wouldn't want you to shed any more tears over it.

_-EDMIX-_2928d ago

Not sure why you posted back 15 days later with an irrelevant post. "Nothing you say is going to change my mind" What gave you the impression I was trying to change your mind? Buddy...if you don't think a game is fun, that is your opinion LMFAO!

I'm not telling you, you are wrong bud, I think your are taking this a bit too personally and don't fully understand what is being stated. No one is persuading you to change your mind or to like Fallout.

I was asking "what on Earth are you honestly expecting the game to be?" with the respect of hearing what you would want from the game in the first place..

When I say "Subjective", that should give you a clue that I'm not trying to force you or convince you to like anything you don't like. Merely that your dislike of it is personal and subjective. How did you get to someone trying to convince you of something? Do you not get the concept of what subjective means? Again, not trying to make you change your mind, merely showing that your dislike for Fallout, can be had with Witcher by another gamer, in fact anyone on earth can not like any game for the exact reasons you stated.

You didn't really state logical, objective reasons, you stated subjective reasons. Something that will differ from person to person.

Clown_Syndr0me2927d ago

Sometimes it's hard to put your finger on it, but I just expected to enjoy the game like I did with New Vegas, but simply didn't.
It really is that straight forward.

_-EDMIX-_2927d ago

Well I respect your opinion and honesty. Its a subjective thing as some did, some didn't.

I personally like Fallout 4 and its exactly what I was expecting and more considering I didn't think the settlement feature would be so additive. I like the factions, companions, weather effects like acid rain or fog etc.

To each his own. Would want the next Fallout to be in the desert ala New Vegas though.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai1d 6h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken1d 6h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

GamerRN4h ago

The amount of shade that gets thrown at Microsoft! This is a free next Gen upgrade that bumps up visuals quite a bit, and it's free! Not $10 like some companies...

Jesus, it's getting thick in here...

Valkyrye1d 4h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken1d 3h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

GamerRN10h ago

The mods aren't broken, just modded saves

Michiel198910h ago

@gamerRN shhhh don't tell them, if you do they can't mindlessly hate a company when they're so uninformed anymore

MaximusTKG9h ago

My modded save is working fine. Perhaps it’s not a blanket issue.

Inverno1d 1h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop1d ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Sirch14h ago

This is business 101.

These are massive companies who are here to make money, not please us gamers. They will charge whatever the market will bare, and will monetize everything they can until gamers stop buying.

People need to wake up and smell the capitalism that has come to gaming. They aren’t here for us any more, they are here for their profits.

just_looken4h ago

Thank you inverno it seems even after starfield there are still thousands that will do anything todd says and gives free blowjobs to team B.

Anyone with a working brain and a pc knows the on going war that is modding fallout/skyrim there dam paid mod store along with forced updates has done more harm than good.

For those that are like but update break mods all the time have never modded a unreal/unity game it takes a large update to break those games were as a simple 30-100mb skyrim updates kills the game except those paid mods.

But fallout 76 has a high player count and is considered by many of the new "gamers" a GOAT game so that says it all.

Armaggedon5h ago

Why do we keep bringing starfield into this. Purge the wrongful hate from yourself

just_looken4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Because it still has the same framerate as fallout 3 on a xbox 360 with the same resolution 6 months later we still have only gotten a photo mode and every update there has been killing all mods but a paid mod store is on the horizon.

Fix starfield? na fuck that take this $40 blue skin mod bitch

If you read before the game was live you would see that said before and after official mod support on the way you can make your own planet but like i said 6 months later nothing has been added.

Starfield the biggest budget biggest team but smallest amount of content the most censorship the most control over the community including auto steam review reply with auto delete and exclusive to windows os with the same performance of 2005 hardware.

Armaggedon3h ago

There are plenty of articles and videos for you to go and be wrathful towards starfield… but this one aint it. This is a fallout 4 article.😂

Chocoburger1d ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer23h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

GamerRN10h ago

It actually bumps the settings up to ultra, 1440p 60fps. Added some new content. And it's free. That's a great upgrade to me...

badz14923h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

1nsomniac10h ago

My ps4 version boots fine after the update. It flashed up some long message about the ps5 version when I got in to the game menu but as soon as it appeared the message disappeared so I couldn’t read it. But the game loaded in and I was able to play.

just_looken4h ago

Its a psplus deal with licenses they already went opps we hit wrong button we sorry.

Bethesda Looking Into PlayStation Plus Subscribers Not Being Able to Upgrade Fallout 4

Bethesda Customer Support Manager confirmed they're looking into Fallout 4 not being offered to those who redeemed via PlayStation Plus for free.

Why would anyone downvote this? Don't be silly. This is great news. Thanks for sharing, darthv72.

MWeaver5891d 5h ago

I think it's because the main question for many was whether or not the PlayStation Plus Collection version would support the upgrade. To me it seems obvious the PlayStation Plus Extra version would, though it is nice to see confirmation it will.

That said, Bethesda highlighting the PlayStation Plus Extra version low-key confirms they do not plan on upgrading the other version given to players. Naturally some people are pissed, as even the in-game phrasing says "free for all players."

VenomUK1d 4h ago

@MWeaver589 Exactly this point, it was advertised as free for everyone.

VincentVanBro1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

It’s just a lame solution to the problem, even if it is a solution. The comment shouldn’t be downvoted though.

Christopher1d 3h ago

I mean, it's at least something. It's 'good' news compared to the alternative. Not darth's fault even.

Also, I highly believe this will get fixed. PR nightmare if they don't since the PS store doesn't differentiate/have different text for those with or without the PS+/PS Collection version.

Is this your first time here?! And when you question the downvotes you get downvoted - I don't make the rules but that's the rules!

Even though I claimed the PS Plus version, I still have my physical GOTY PS4 edition and was able to get my PS5 upgrade a little earlier today. Physical media FTW lol. Hopefully it won't be too long before the PS Plus owners also get to upgrade their copies.

JackBNimble1d 4h ago

My digital version works just fine , what's your point?

raWfodog1d 3h ago

My point is that even though I claimed the digital version via my PS+ Essential sub, I was still able to upgrade to the PS5 version using my PS4 GOTY physical version that I bought years ago. Otherwise I would have had to wait for the fix to be released, however long that will take. Isn’t that what the article was about?

JackBNimble22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

No, you claimed an upgrade that everyone with the physical or digital license can other then ps+ extra .
And what you hold is nothing more then a physical license.

And the article is talking about people with ps+extra who didn't own the game previously to it going on ps+ .

I bought the game years ago to ... digitally, my whole point was to your statement " physical media Ftw" . So what does physical have to do with anything?

raWfodog3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Dude, the comment about physical ftw was supposed to be funny. Did you miss the ‘lol’ after it? That was an issue specific to my case and wasn’t meant to be taken as a stance on physical vs digital. The problem with these forums is that everyone takes everything too seriously lol.

FYI I have bought more digital games than physical over the past five years so I’m good with either format.

k2d16h ago

Should have looked into the 75% deal before the update, but I just assumed I owned it. Thankfully I found the physical disc, ha...

raWfodog3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

But wait! Listen to the dude who also commented above. You can’t be thankful that you found the physical because you don’t actually own it LOL, and you can’t be thankful that you didn’t have to wait for them to fix the issue with the PS+ version. So what was your point? 🤣😁

blacktiger1d 1h ago

I expect this and also no releasing on next ps console. Pretty simple. Please don't be suprise

purple10115h ago(Edited 15h ago)

More like not releasing on next Xbox, all games sell better on ps due to 1 more consoles in the wild, &, 2 ps players buy more games. The fallout games take a long time to make I assume, probably want to make a good profit on that development time

Literally yesterday “Chairman And CEO Microsoft Satya Nadella:

"We committed to meeting players where they are by brining great games to more people on more devices."

anast9h ago

They don't need to. They have shill game writers trying to point people to the $35 version...yeah, let that sink in.
