Why do they always have to try and weasel their way out of this and can't just accept it like man?

 

[Kalasanty11]

Yes, because criticizing F4 in a Codex circle jerk is so much "manlier" than trying to educate (or at least annoy) some fanboys somewhere else

The RPGCodex is the only website that matters.

It is.

The Bethestards are striking back

 

[Fairfax]

Most of them seem to think FNV is a better game, though, which is surprising.

 

[pippin]

When Bethestards ask for features they'd like to see in FO games, they generally ask for things present in vanilla New vegas.

Look, anyone who's played New Vegas can agree that Fallout 4 doesn't have the same level of depth or roleplay potential. And that's okay. Fallout 4 was created as a different experience than the previous games, and that's okay. Fallout 4 is, despite what everyone seems to be saying, a good game. And that's okay. People have complaints about Fallout 4, valid complaints, and that's okay.

"If people can clock 100 hours then this isn't a bad game. You can't play bad game for 100 hours."

It is good action fps with very light rpg elements. I bash it's rpg elements and lack of logic because first games from this IP focused on those things and now it has turned into typical murrican shooter. But you can't say it is bad game.

Dat Face when he says that line

Hah, they brought back the Chinese ghouls again too?

Come on, Bethesda, Enclave DLC. You know you want to.

 

[pippin]

That ghoul looks like the feel man.

 

[Seethe]

You're giving a shit about metacritic, there's the problem.

And steam. And reddit. And most of the internet.

Notes

• While Zao says the Yangtze is a Chinese submarine and manned by a Chinese crew, its interior bears no Chinese characters (汉字) (Hanzi). Warning signs and terminals are written in English.
• The People's Republic of China in real life do not use the Wade-Giles romanization system, and soYangtze would have been written 'Yangzi' in pinyin. Additionally, the word 'Yangtze' is largely used only by westerners to refer to the Long River - 'Changjiang'（长江）would be the term normal Chinese used.
• Strangely enough, there are various bottles of Nuka Cola on the ship, including a bottle of Nuka Cola Quantum. This is strange seeing the hostilities between the USA and China, which would make it unlikely that the Chinese would drink Nuka Cola. This may however be a reference to some of the Soviet elite during the Cold War, who had access to privately imported Western soft drinks otherwise unavailable to the general population. It is more likely, however, that the American items were brought on board by raiders, which the Captain mentions have attacked since the bombs fell.
• It is possible that, because of the ship's lack of Chinese characters and the presence of American equipment like the RobCo terminals and General Atomics reactor, Yangtze was actually an American submarine that was captured by the Chinese prior to the Great War. Or maybe it was just because the game developers didn't want to waste time creating new models based on Chinese technology when they could just recycle ones that were already made.

The really that lazy, how shocking.

I can't think of another single fully-explorable submarine in the entire game so it's obviously the first scenario.

Gamebanshee review: http://www.gamebanshee.com/reviews/116567-fallout-4-review.html

Overall, I enjoyed Fallout 4 a lot more than I was expecting. Part of how I rate a game is whether I'm happy or sad when I have to move on to my next review, and with Fallout 4 I'm on the sad side of the ledger. I ran through the game pretty easily on the "normal" difficulty setting -- I could tell I was too powerful when a suicide bomber sneaked up behind me and detonated a mini nuke... and only took off about half my health -- but my character playing on the "survival" setting is having a tougher time, and I'm curious if the game can maintain the challenge all the way through.

In any case, Fallout 4 is in pretty good shape now. The game is stable, the locations are plentiful, and there are numerous interesting quests to complete -- and this is all without a lot of mods being available since Bethesda still hasn't released their construction kit (it's apparently waiting in a "to do" queue along with the manual). So if you like open world RPGs in general, or Bethesda's offerings in particular, then Fallout 4 is a worthwhile game to pick up.

"Never taking Jet again, I swear", says the Diner lady's son, rocking back and forth next to the skeleton that he probably grew up playing around.



"It feels good to know Wolfgang's in the ground," remarks said owner of the diner, gently moving another skeleton draped over the counter aside to wipe up. "Do you need anything?"



Some basic pride in your surroundings?

What's really strange is that they only occasionally let you take the obvious route of claiming former Raider bases for your own. Many of them with their own wind-powered energy grids, a combination of environmental and man-made defenses and good housing. Then you leave that place and go trundling out to some bumfuck nowhere shack two losers have made into a home. That you spend awhile patching up otherwise it'll niggle at the back of your mind every time you see it.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I think even animals have the decency to move remains away from their home. The NPCs are literally subhumans.

And that's okay.

I've created a topic on reddit about Total Biscuit's opinion on Fallout 4 (he was very critical, so I had a blast reading comments). After about 10 hours thread disappeard from main page of Fallout subreddit and I got message from a bot:

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

What the hell does it mean? Thread wasn't just deleted, I can still access it from my profile

It meant your thread got moved to the "circle jerk" subforum. It's not censorship, we just felt negative words weren't adequate for this environment and relocated it to a more suitable home.

You mean you moved it to a circlejerk "subforum" so that it doesn't disturb the circlejerking in /r/fallout ? And how is that not censorship?
