The Top Five Fixes and Features That Need to Be in Fallout 4

In what is quickly becoming the internet’s worst kept secret, it appears that famed developer Bethesda is gearing up to announce the highly anticipated “Fallout 4.” As one of the general public’s most beloved games of the previous generation (feels weird saying that…), the hype train for “Fallout 4” is beginning to resemble a locomotive in India, as fans across the world eagerly await any news regarding it.

All valid points. I think one thing I would REALLY like in the next Fallout game is more emphasis on "my home". I liked having my own shack in Megaton, but I felt like it could have been expanded considerably.

I would love to be able to find my own abandoned warehouse and claim it as mine, and then setup a defense/security and whatnot to ensure it stays mine. From there, perhaps I invite people to live in my community, and having certain people with certain skills living there allows me certain benefits. The idea is I get to decide where I call home and who lives there

But yeah...that's just a personal preference. Fallout 4 with a better graphics engine and less glitches = win :D

Denton563812d ago

A settlement option would be pretty incredible. Maybe it could be something like what "Assassin's Creed 2" did, and you could inherit a stretch of land that could be built up and expanded over time.

Also, I didn't mention it in the write up but a barter system would be pretty great as well. It makes sense in the Fallout universe, and would make otherwise useless items more valuable.

EBTpickle3812d ago

Totally, or it could closely resemble State of Decay's community system, and I'd be all over that feature.

Hardcore mode

Being able to lvl up past 20 without paying for dlc

Spacemagic3812d ago

Cut down on the loading screens please.

ab5olut10n3812d ago

Get rid of the gamebryo engine

MadLad3812d ago (Edited 3812d ago )

Bethesda doesn't know how to do writing in the non-black-and-white way.
That's honestly only true for Fallout3 and they are the reason.

They aren't good writers. They are good world builders, but they always leave that world static and rather uninteresting. Shows even with how they thought up some rather interesting areas for Fallout 3, though I can't remember any of the content that went with those locations.

Revolver_X_3811d ago

Wow. I cant think of another game with better side quests. Fallout feels alive to me. Each side quest is a story on its own and feels unique. You say bad writing, I say Bethesda doesnt force Fallout to take itself too seriously. The idea of an apocalypse is serious, so the main story may be simple, but it reflects that. As far as all the enemies, locals, and general characters, they are silly. The side quests mostly show that. The vast apocalyptic world with that endearing humor is the main reason I disagree with your poor writing comment.

MadLad3811d ago (Edited 3811d ago )

I never said that they were bad writers because they don't take things too seriously. I feel they are bad writers because I truly believe they don't know how to write many good, believable characters, that they are bad at writing interesting quests and that they don't know how to make player choice affect the world itself in any substantial, meaningful way.
Again, I can't remember much of what happens in Fallout 3, though I can for pretty much the rest of the series.

They also don't know how to offer morally questionable player choice, as was stated in the article. Everything is, essentially, black and white to them and essentially only supports "I am good" or "I am evil". Very little gray (neutral) territory, where the player actually questions whether they are making the right decision or not or it may be simply the lesser of two evils.
This is something that developers like CD Projekt, Obsidian, Bioware (to a degree), Hairbrained Schemes and even Larian - a developer, much thanks to Divinity series - who is known for their more tongue-in-cheek, humor focused writing.

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 8h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken1d 7h 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

GamerRN5h 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 6h ago

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

just_looken1d 4h 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.

GamerRN12h ago

The mods aren't broken, just modded saves

Michiel198911h ago

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

MaximusTKG10h ago

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

Inverno1d 2h 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 1h 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.

Sirch15h 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_looken5h 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.

Armaggedon6h ago

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

just_looken5h ago(Edited 5h 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.

Armaggedon4h 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 2h 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.

Aussiesummer1d 1h ago

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

GamerRN12h 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...

badz1491d 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?

Profchaos1d ago (Edited 1d 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

1nsomniac12h 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_looken5h 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 6h 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 5h ago

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

VincentVanBro1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

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

Christopher1d 4h 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 5h ago

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

raWfodog1d 5h 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?

JackBNimble23h ago(Edited 23h 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?

raWfodog5h ago(Edited 4h 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.

k2d18h 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...

raWfodog4h ago(Edited 4h 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 3h ago

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

purple10116h ago(Edited 16h 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."

anast10h ago

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