Admit it: You are going to buy Fallout 4.

[a cut of domestic sheep prime]

Watched some of broteam pill's twitch stream on it. There's very little RPG left in this RPG. I may give it a try but I doubt I'll be buying it unless it's several years from now and I see a steam sale for $3 like I did with oblivious and dragon angst goty.

 

[Sduibek]

Why the fuck would I buy this game? I don't understand why anyone is buying it.

Fallout 3 had no soul, why would Fallout 4 Now With More Farmville (TM) be any better?

I would like know who, besides mindless fanboys and vapid casual gamers, would actually buy this.

It's really disappointing because Bethesda could hire amazing talent to build a great game, but they choose not to.

Great games draw you in because they are inherently captivating. Bethesda games are successful because they are mediocre games that happen to also be exploitative and addictive.

Dude , did you read the topic ?

Nope lol

 

[Adon]

Didn't buy it nor do I ever plan to. Bethesda bashing is always fun and a LP gives you all the ammunition to point out how bad and retarded some of the aspects are, but it gets old after a while. Only really been posting because these kinds of things are almost like an event, and I enjoy seeing the shitstorm as it happens. I can't speak for everyone (clearly as evidenced by a bunch of codexers actually buying FO4) but I'm sure there are others besides myself that also were ripping into it because practically everywhere else is filled with Bethesda fanboys who will defend every aspect of the game night and day.

Well, I won it on steamgifts the other day. Another man has taken the burden of sin for me. I won't even bother to try it.

 

[Sykar]

I'm gonna go for "try-b4-u-buy". *wink wink*

I have a horrendously bad feeling about this game.

RK47 are you going to make videos like you did for Dragon Age: Shitquisition?

Yes he does:

 

[Zerginfestor]

Replace "buy" with "play" and you're closer to an accurate prediction

Actually, I'm curious, wouldn't it be extremely risky to even attempt to "play" the game right now? Wouldn't Bethesderp release their sharks to hunt everyone down during the starting moments of this piece of shit game's birth?

I finally played the first couple of hours of the game. That's an achievement, since I never managed to play F3 that long.

Since a picture is worth thousands of words, here is my review-in-a-cup of the game (and yes, I am shamelessly assuming the whole game will be similar to the first two hours of gameplay):

(with VATS instead of cover mechanics).

Who needs cover when the enemy can do nearly nothing.

Although VATS has other surprising applications:

Pity you cannot hit dat booty.

I've done multiple playthroughs of all other Bethesda games, but this time they really told me to fuck off since there is no meaningful character generation or development. Fine, you don't want my money, OK. Still intend to give it a try with a single playthrough down the line. Why would I bother playing it more than once? $20 GOTY edition at most.

[Gulnar]

Maybe i will let's say try it thank to a kick-ass friend, but no, i won't buy it. I won't give money to bethesda to continue in this atrocious behaviour. First, i have to sink money in AoD.

 

[Tom Petty]

"It's a little early to be drinking"

Gotta give them credit where it's due. It's really clever how Bethesda subliminally tried to ward of many people's reactions to playing their game.

 

[Sduibek]

P.S. Dollars are votes

 

[InD_ImaginE]

nope, first bethesda game I'm not buying since TESIII
Still going to play it though. Well seeds numbers are votes too sooo maybe I'm still guilty.

 

[undecaf]

I don't have interest in spending big money on something that clearly will be disappointing and ultimately played like a solitaire-esque boredom burner, and if it so happens that I some day have, at which point it'll be a bargain bin game alredy, chances are there's something more interesting around.

After playing a friend's copy ( ) for 20 hours or so, I can confirm that this stuff is NOT buying material.

I am not sure what is worse for people who bought this shit, the money wasted or the time wasted.

It is as much time wasting as any Diablo like game.

 

[FreeKaner]

I wouldn't even pirate it, let alone buy it. I could be downloading something else with that bandwidth.

 

[Jasede]

Didn't buy, didn't play, didn't look at it, and shat on everyone who bought it. I am a true friend.

 

[Kefka1134]

Not only have I not bought it I keep forgetting it exists.

I've reached the point with many modern games where I just literally don't follow them at all really, they occupy the space that Hollywood movies used to occupy, and now movies I basically don't watch at all.

That is to say, I sort of treat them with a kind of polite respect while busying myself with some other stuff entirely.

 

[NotAGolfer]

Will wait for some review in a prestigious magazine and decide after that.
I never lose hope that dumbfucks can learn some lessons so maybe this time it will
be gud
be passable
not suck too much for a soulless hiking sim. And maybe one day they will hire someone who actually has a story to tell and knows how to do it ... maybe even as a writer, crazier things happened.

Bought it.


Some positive remarks about the story and characters not being the usual Bethesda derp and the FPS like gunplay that doesn't even pretend to be RPG like anymore and this review by Luibl convinced me. That guy isn't into Doritos, or if he is, he doesn't take any from Biowhore for some reason. ^^
Also Skyrim already wasn't half bad, so I'm starting to forgive Bethesda for that abomination that was Oblivion (ragequitted FO3 because of faked reactivity only a couple of hours in so I can't comment on that, til that moment I liked the ruins scavenging though, didn't give a shit if it made sense given the fimeframe too, I never cared for lore and never will). And I'm just a sucker for open world games that are not the usual lazy Ubisoft collect all the collectibles and capture all the fortresses bullshit with piss easy console controls on top.

Actually looking forward to playing it, downloads atm.

Now only Underrail has to be finished and I'm set for the holidays.

You're right. It was all bad.
