Is Fallout 4 Getting a Free Pass?

Is Fallout 4 getting a free pass from both the gaming public and the gaming press? If Ubisoft are thrown under the bus for technical problems, why aren't Bethesda?

Yes, yes it is, any other game would get crucified for even a fraction of the bugs a Bethesda game has :/

136 hours in, I've only encountered two bugs, which weren't even game breaking. Although I'm playing the PC version, I'm guessing all the issues that are persistent is because of the consoles weak hardware. My advice to Bethesda would have been to delay the console's versions of Fallout 4, release them later down the line, like From Software does with the PC version of Dark Souls.

Uglyday3071d ago

100ish hours in on PS4 with the same number of bugs so not the hardware.

Tsuru3071d ago

36 hours on PC. One bug. ONE. i smacked a death claw into the sky with a tire iron at the beginging of the game in vats, and he died from fall damage. THATS IT. I hate it when people say its getting a free pass when its not a regular occuring thing. Its not. Its rare. Just cause a bunch of people are finding 1 or 2 non game breaking bugs they think the game should be burned at the stake. Its dumb.

I haven't actually played the PC version, but what you say makes sense in theory. Kind of like the opposite of Arkham Knight.

Mega243071d ago (Edited 3071d ago )

Exactly, I think Rocksteady's mistake was releasing the PC version at the same time, knowing it was broken. Nobody likes delay, but getting it broken? Nah, I'd prefer a delay.

madmonkey013071d ago (Edited 3071d ago )

seems to be, especially graphically where it isnt on par with current gen titles.

Liam23823071d ago

Yeah, bugs aside, it's also a bit of a visual stinker. Art direction is amazing but that engine is simply too old.

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.

isarai6h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

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

Valkyrye4h ago

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

just_looken2h 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.

Inverno54m 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.

Chocoburger21m 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.

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

MWeaver5894h 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."

VenomUK3h ago

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

VincentVanBro2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

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

Christopher2h 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.

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.

JackBNimble3h ago

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

raWfodog3h 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?

blacktiger1h ago

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