Fallout Fallout 4 Thread

[The Dutch Ghost]

Heh, well I meant more like, killing these two of all people is still considered a criminal act. (of course murdering people should be, even Todd and Emil)
But dammit, what they have been done to game design and Role Playing Games is an affront, and to most people they still get away with it scot free.
Honestly they produce a crappy game which only exists to make some dolts clean out their pockets than barely offers any fun unless you are into 'digital make believe', and then release a bunch of mod ripped of 'expansions' for the suckers who bought a season pass without asking what kind of content they would exactly get for that money.

Honestly, buy Legos if you want to build things like houses or Vaults, or become a carpenter or architect, or start modding and design levels/maps, or just play Minecraft which probably even gives you more construction options.

To think that if I killed Todd Howard and Emil Pugalerio I would still go to prison for it.

Do we have any FBI plants on the Codex?

I'm still amazed at how ugly the graphics are.
3's graphix were ugly as well, but it was consistently ugly all around, almost like a cartoonish kind of deal. FO4 attempts to be truly realistic and imo that's why the characters and textures look butt ugly.

I dunno, I thought they were emulating that 50s painting style.

Fallout 4 looks like any other game when you bring the graphics setting to low... except Fallout 4 always looks like shit even at high graphic settings.

Listened a bit to some of the Shamus guys videos about FO4.

It's nice to see his kind praising FONV and the amount of thinking and care put into it, slipping in snide remarks about about the real Fallouts (which even to them as 1, 2, and NV) while ripping Bethesda apart for their shallow, air headed thinking and complete lack of RPG and world building effort, but then he and his buddies then say things like how FO1&2 are impossible to play today because the graphics are so bad that they can't tell what's going on that leave me to wonder if we're the same species born with the same eyes....

Weird, why did Skyrim get those boosts? I imagine the first few are DLC-related, are the later ones major mods or something?

OTOH it looks like nothing drew people back to FO4.

Skyrim is just too damn big. Perhaps people started to play it again because of the announcement of the new version?

It looks like Skyrim boosts is in line with Steams Black Friday, Winter and Summer sale, and probably due fans abandoning Fallout 4 for modded Skyrim.

Skyrim has been patched by community. As I write this post I entered Diamond City Prison and got 0.25fps at the entrance. I don't know what the hell is going on. In Boston Common I get fps drops to 17 even with all game optimizing mods such as ENBoost/Shadowboost, Texture optimazation mods, Godrays turned to low and other things tweaked. Skyrim on the other hand has mods such as Realistic Lighting Overhaul, Unofficial Patches and much more all ready to make the game playable.

It is pathetic, this game was developed for "7 years", has higher system requirements and all it achieves is worse performance and visuals than Witcher 3 even with loading screens at every corner.

It was developed by stapling a bunch of new effects (with less elegance than just using ENB) to an engine that was already frankenstein-ed and decrepit. The reaction from those who normally give Bethesda blowjobs in their reviews is likely what lead to the rumored development of a new in-house platform

Reminder that Fallout 4 was built with the same engine that Morrowind used.

The Elder Scrolls have always been far more time consuming than Fallout games. And ever since Fallout 3, they have definitely been far more entertaining.

and the sad thing is not because TES get better, but fallout get much much worse

Bethesda games tend to sell more on consoles around release but pc sales remain constant for years due to mods.

What the hell do you have inside your computer?

Also, I'm not sure ENBoost has been updated to the latest version, texture optimization mods are a fucking sham they decrease quality and in fact remove optimizations, also what did you tweak in the ini?

 

[DosBuster]

Apparently Emil voiced a character in the game...

Those conversations. Those emotionless play doh faces. Characters are now reminding me of Garbage Pail Kids.

 

[DosBuster]

Has there been a game that's gotten procedual facial animation to look good yet? Witcher 3 used procedual stuff for a rough-up of their cinematics but most of that was thrown away with hand-made stuff mixed with animation libraries.

L.A. Noire

 

[Daedalos]

Is there ANY saving graces about this game? Has any of the mods actually improved the story, C&C, writing, setting? And no, I don't care about "gunplay". Fallout isn't a shooter.

Is the far harbor worth a playthrough at all ?

L.A. Noire

Wasn't procedural
