RPS' review was the most disappointing. Almost no mention of actual gameplay. Just graphics, voice acting, and story. And the comments refer to the review and splendid.

Joy....no skills...


But that don't matter you see...becasue RPGs is about Playing a Role within a Game....


Nice to see RPG mechanics have been "enhanced" further into tic-tac-toe territory....

I don't know why they need any stats in character creation anyway in Beth games....you end up being a master of everything halfway through each game...just have appearance and (trans)gender, and sexual preference to choose from and then reward the player with enhanced skills after every quest or level up automatically like in many JRPG's(to give the appearance of progress).

This post is the most I can be bothered to care about Fallout 4.

I remember being able to kill BoS Outcasts the moment I left Megaton... so fuck...why do you even need to be 'Master of Everything'

On, Metacritic I see Its chock full of complaints about the "Storyline", its like Mass Effect 3 but it still irks me....

I mean, people did not play Doom for the fucking story... And I do not play RPG modules for the quality of the writing.


Narrative in games is meant to relay my place and situation in the game, the goal and big baddie in the game and all the shit I have to go through to reach them that will prompt my descission making.


But NOOOoO! people wanted waifus!

To be quite honest, I thought I'd buy the damn think having shit expectation about the mechanics but rather enjoy the :pete: hiking simulator(and never let on that I bought it pirated it of course, true for Skyrim not for Bioshock 2 and Infinites :negative:)


So yey, I'm an RPG purist...can't even be tempted by an Obsidians "New Vegas" version of fallout.

How the fuck did Oblivion get a 94? Was that because it was the height of the Doritos and Mountain Dew craze?

Yeah, it's a bit shit.

The game looks a lot better than Fallout 3, there isn't a horrible green filter on everything, anti-aliasing is pretty good, textures are better and the lighting system is quite nice.

Everything else is shit. The character level up system. The quests themselves. I just got to the first major settlement and I really can't be fucking bothered. Quest involves getting power armor and pulling a minigun off a Vertbird. This is the second fucking quest in the game.

I've stopped playing, going to play Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void and come back to this crap later.

Reading between the lines in most of the reviews: "Did you want a slightly better looking version of Fallout 3? Here ya go!"

No, thank you.
