A Fallout 4 Nintendo Switch 2 port seems like an inevitability, but what about other Bethesda RPGs like Starfield.
I think all games will end up on switch from Xbox. MS has embraced going to other platforms now if games aren't doing well on Nintendo MS may be more selective in the future
On playstation they have been quite successful
All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.
Starfield and Fallout 4 developer Nate Purkeypile reflects on Bethesda's city design, calling it the "antithesis" of the studio's older games
People acted like starfield was so less interesting than fallout and drastically different, but I call bs on that. Both are decent games, but they are both filled with the appearance of things to do and items to interact with but 99 percent are just there to be there with no significance. Fallout has better character work but they are both sort of illusions that they’re vast.
Studio has been going downhill since Skyrim. Every following game gets dumbed down more than the previous. I'll be shocked if Elder Scrolls VI even has dialogue options.
GB: "Gamers have quickly realized that a fun open-world game isn’t just about size and scope but rather how you interact with it."
If you play with companions you unlock unique perks by getting their friendship level to the max, so once I have done that for one companion, I pick another until I get his perk. Plus you do unlock questlines relating to each companion it seems, so on that basis yes it's better to have a companion
Honestly I just like to take my time solo. I even played all borderlands games solo too
Do I have to play with dog as my companion in fallout 4?
I would probably go solo, if i would not have to haul truck load of scrap back to settlement to get anything done in there or mod any of the guns. Sometimes i like when they react in unique way on something in the game world, but way too often they spew their one liners over other NPC's dialogue.
And they do get on my way. Nothing horrible, but Piper seems to like to bully me by standing on the door way when i loot any small space etc.
But it's nice to have someone with you in wasteland.
Goods and bads:
+More carry weight
+Unique dialogue
+Side quests
+Perks
-Get on the way during firefights
-Overlapping dialogue/One-liners get annoying
-Stand on the way/Block you in tight spaces
