Fallout 4 Pre-Release Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

Kill the egg-heads! Smart people are bad!

Yeah, this is a burgerland game.

 

It looks like its the so called "Midwestern Brotherhood of steel" then?

 

holy shit, best trailer of the decade, best game of the decade, best voice over of the decade 1000/1000. Bethesda delivers yet again. Todd reigns supreme.
All my expectations fulfilled, gonna sink 1000+ hours into this. I can already see 10/10 on every website and 40 million copies sold first week.

 

The year 2015 - developers at Bethesda discover deferred rendering, a technique that has been used in video games for nearly a decade.

Welcome to 1998.

 

You don't find the institute, the institute finds you

 

I noticed that too. With SPECIAL points being so easy to come by and skills having been removed, I think it makes a degree of sense. Part of me is glad they did it -- it's like someone tore my limbs off but at least had the decency to cauterize the wounds afterwards.

 

The female player character is voiced by Courtenay Taylor, who voiced Gloria van Graff and other NPC's in New Vegas.

The woman who asks if you would risk your life for a synth is Claudia Christian, who voiced Aela the Huntress and other NPC's in Skyrim.

 

You do know that the same points that are used for special are used for perks also.

 

Imagine being paid to cast a critical eye over video games. That is literally your life's work. How the fuck can you justify this manchild fanboy excess? What the hell is this 'fuck you, got mine the game is great and I'm ignoring the criticisms NEENERNENR" attitude. You have no vested interest in Fallout 4's success! Have a little self-respect, you're not a 14 year old.

 

The originality in that trailer is off the motherfucking charts. "Save humanity from itself".

Other than that, it looks like the game will have a very similar structure to most AAA action games released recently. Fight big evil, do a bunch of inane shit on the side, good job.

 

bonescraper in a nutshell:

 

THAT WAS PAINFUL TO WATCH.
The world doesn't even look like fallout anymore, it's like overly dramatic Borderlands now. Jesus christ man.

 

Yeah, that's my point. If they started you with 40 attribute points, you would have access to all the perks relevant to your build immediately and end up with perks to burn later on. With 28 points available, you have to decide what perks are most important to you immediately and then balance investing in those perks with raising your attributes to access others. It will be a little harder to end up with 10 in every attribute this way.

 

It's more like an unholy splice between Fallout and Bioshock, tbh.

 

It looks a lot like RAGE too.

 

Well, i haven't heard Jarl Derpgruf or their default old guy/lady, default black male/female and default children vocies, so that's a plus.

Also, i don't think New Vegas recycled any of Bethesda's god awful voice actors, so it doesn't count.

 

Would some kind soul mind to extract the pictures from the new launch trailer and post a couple of them here???
I am on phone with limited data for watching the video.

Not really hyped to be honest, but can't wait to play either.

 

Impressive amount of cringeworthy cliché "epic" lines in that trailer...
"WE MUST SAVE MANKIND FROM ITS WORST ENEMY... ITSELF!!!" "EPIC MUSIC"

 

Over 400 hours spent playing New Vegas, and i never made it that far

It's not a secret when i'm open about it.

 

I still haven't pre-ordered. Man, I feel so clean about it.

 

I mean in tone, for example in FO1 we had bottle caps as currency as in FO2 they used bank notes.

Mechanical wise it was the the same but overall things have changed in the world.

Continuity doesnt mean stagnation, fans tend to resist change but without changes there is stagnation.

FO3 didnt really bring anything new or explored previous themes, it used the Enclaves in the most moronic way possible, it used Super muntants despite there not being any reason for them to even be there, it overused Vaults to the point I was half expecting Vault 2035.

And of the opposite of gameworld stagnation, we had changes from the mechanics ... "safe" nostalgic for the old fans and recognition for the people that never played the old ones with changes to appeal to a "wider" demographics.

In fact FO4 might not be Need for Speed but its certainly headed towards Generic Cinematographic Action Game blandness that is too simplistic in all approaches.

As I pointed out or I hope I did ... they are both save the town stories at the start but neither FO1 or FO2 are about saving the town, they go into different threats, save the town is the starting point but with entirely different starts.

 

"Still". implying that you want to at some point (either pre-order or buy it).
