I'm not sorry for save scumming in Fallout 4

Fallout 4 may give players multiple ways to handle a situation, but Tony Nguyen over at G4@Syfygames will save scum until he gets events happening exactly the way he wants them to.

Who cares? I don't mean about the article or anything, but honestly who cares how anyone plays their games as long as they get enjoyment out of them. It's like when I was playing Undertale and someone legit told me I wasn't playing it the "Right way". Fuck off.

TheSaint3428d ago

Exactly, single player games can be played however anyone likes, anyone that says otherwise is literally an idiot.

DreamGamer3428d ago

I imagine the writer got a lot of flak for save scumming, so it probably prompted the feeling that he needed to explain himself.

Good God, what a horrible way to play a branching game. Sometimes losing a character is the only way to get an alternate quest.

Skids like half the fun is drained, but if it's what you like, go for it...

I played through the original Fallout 3 without any scumming, and take it from me; it closes MANY more doors than it opens. Not that there aren't points when it's fun to accidentally piss someone off because of a bad roll, but by and large I enjoyed scumming the convos much more than not.

Plus the bugs in F4 makes it very difficult not to scum every now and then, especially considering how many times I've lost companions to REALLY stupid crap.

" Sometimes losing a character is the only way to get an alternate quest. "

Does that happen in Fallout 4? I know in games like Mass Effect, losing characters leads to cool scenes you couldn't see otherwise (like the "Citadel" scene in Mass Effect 3).

That's what makes each play through unique. Sometimes they live, sometimes they die.

That's how you we each get a unique experience

Not only that, but sometimes, they live again.

I started to fall back in to the quicksave bug that bit everyone in mid to late 90's PC FPS games.

It played into my hands a couple of times. And I was thankful for it. I mainly used it as a gauge to see if a new location was worth my while entering or if I should come back later on.

Fallout 4 on Switch 2 seems inevitable, but what about Starfield?

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

anast18d ago

I'm not sure too many people want to play Starfield.

Profchaos18d ago

Phils all but confirmed they are going in hard with the switch 2

TheColbertinator18d ago

All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.

Starfield is actually a RPG. Bethesda hasn't done that in a while.

GhostScholar120d ago

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.

anast119d ago

Fallout 4 was bad, real bad. Starfield might even be a better RPG.

trez1082119d ago

Fallout 4 wasn’t a great fallout game per se but real bad? I don’t know maybe I’m a little biased because I replied it not long ago and had fun with it.
