[norolim]

Oh, 6 pages of people assuring everyone they don't care about this game. Nice. Let me join you.

I watched the trailer. And

I guess it depends where you're coming from. If you never played a Fallout game (or good old rpg's) and you get your hands on Fallout 3, or New Vegas you'll be fucking amazed - post apocalyptic open world rpg in 3d - fuck yeah! However, if you have played the first two Fallouts and you expect the same immersive story and atmosphere or if you're an rpg connoisseur you'll bitch about it ad infinitum because it could've been soooo much better. But let's consider for a moment why is this happening, why Bethesda doesn't submit to our infinite wisdom and make this the "perfect rpg". Number one issue would be that they are a company in the bussiness of making MONEY rather than GAMES. They are not some small indie company where folks get excited about this feature and that feature and are driven by passion - they couldn't be even if they wanted, it's simply not possible when you're this giant studio - way too many people with various interests and opinions. And most of the gamers out there - let's be blunt about it - are a bit dumb when it comes to advanced stats, complex mechanics and the lack of an arrow on the minimap - so even if they made this worthy succesor of Fallout 1/2 its reach would probably be much, much smaller than it currently is - which is a bad thing imho - at least this way it introduced more people to teh first 2 Fallouts (myself included). I am not defending Bethesda - I wouldn't dare do that here ) - I am simply acknowledging that given the current situation Bethesda is doing what it should be doing - compromising between popamole and "perfect" rpg mechanics in order to have a large audience reach and make tons of money without blatantly dumbing down the gameplay so it can keep the appearance of a respectable, rpg-oriented company.

Fully agree and well spoken, sir

Where's the bright side?

On the ACTUAL bright side, today I was banging meat for schabowe and while thinking of this abomination, howard and bethesda I managed to turn them into paper-thin deliciousness. It was very therapeutic too, easily recommended for everyone.

wow with f4 announcement, New vegas on steam has 10,000 concurent players and f3 GOTY 3,000 players.

also 1st on top sellers on steam beating GTA V. goddamn.
This gonna be big, it will outsell Skyrim.

A month or two ago I decided to start replaying Fallout 2, enjoyed it so figured "Let's start up F:NV that I bought for 5 euros because I love MCA".

Quit after 2 hours or something. Even Obsidian-fanboyism wouldn't let me play a game in that engine longer than it takes me to eat a kebab. Fallout 3 I removed from inventory and played for like 20 minutes when it first came out. So if Fallout 4 is going to be similar, I might as well not even bother.

God I hate Bethesda. Bland fucking games in bland fucking worlds filled with bland fucking characters. They wouldn't know how to make an enjoyable game if their life depended on it. No idea why people get hyped about it.

 

[Black]

In our hate, we are one.

 

[Goral]

So when can we expect Codex interview with Todd Howard? He already has the account here so it shouldn't be too hard.

That trailer makes the game look like a bland mixup of Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite. Not that these aren't blandshit games to begin with.

I don't know, it just looks bland and boring. And even worse, it doesn't even FEEL like Fallout. Just the typical Bethesda incoherent mish-mash.
Fucking cities with skyscrapers, seriously?? Trees everywhere, colourful skies. Where's the endless wasteland, the red sunsets, the rust and desolation??

Bethesda are fucking retards catering to retard audiences, incapable of making a moody atmosphere.

 

[Kron]

Aesthetically, Post-apoc can be awesome. If you're not feeling creative visual-wise, just ripoff some 80's-early 90's post-apoc movies and comics. At least you'll end up with a better atmosphere than this bland copypaste.
Sometimes I think that due to the oversaturation of shitty science fiction games, and games in general, this uninspired 3.0 bland-future-science-fiction has taken hold and become established; most games now draw "inspiration" from this pool and therefore they all look the same. Like in many established creative mediums, videogames are now self-feeding from its own shitty creations.

Aren't you people tired of the endless wasteland filled with shit and nothing to do?I think it's time to see a more civilised version of Fallout where people are really trying to build a bigger community instead of acting like retarded monkeys and wearing tires as underwear.
I think the Boston area could be interesting, but what worries me the most is the deadbeat writing and their inaptitude to create good characters.

 

[Makabb]

top down view and male only. Butthurt will be glorious.

In Fallout 4, mixing things up, we are making the game more ‘Story Based’ and the player character will finally talk, and narrate his storyline. At the beginning of the game, you create your character (You can only be a male in the main story),”.

PC version includes a “Classic Mode” that will feature a bird’s-eye view like the original titles

FUUUUUUUYEAAAAAAAAAAAAA

the site is calling 'disturbing' that you cannot play as a female.

I’d be pretty down, as I tend to play games of this sort as a fiery, chaotic neutral red-headed woman.

 

[Country_Gravy]

Fallout 4? Was there was a fallout 3 that no one told me about? The cutscene here is pretty good, I just hope they pull off the isometric view and turn-based combat.

 

[Kron]

This isn't a problem with wastelands, it's a problem with how the game and the wasteland is designed.

Fallout 3 felt simultaneously cramped and empty, which is not exactly good for a post apocalyptic wasteland.

Besides, civillized in my post-apoc? Heresy I say. The whole fun of the genre is small pockets of corrupt pseudo civilization, with chaos and danger outside of that, and all the human excesses given free reign. That mixed up with rusted remains of a previous "golden" civilization.

Not sure you understand what Fallout is about and why people here prefer FO:NV over FO3

 

[Makabb]

New Vegas was closest to the old FAllout we could get with that engine, but if Todd will bring top down view back, even without the assests that obsidian made New Vegas, Fallout might be back again.

I was talking about the original games. Are we on the same note here? Have people forgotten what Fallout was like? Fucking Mad Max 2 with more flavor stuff and writing sprinkled on top of it. Post-apoc looks and setting.

F3 and F:NV don't even count. F3 was retarded, and F:NV was just plain boring with some insufferable Sawyer thrown in as bonus; plus retaining quite a good speck of the clumsiness and retardedness of F3.

I call disturbing that it's named Fallout, but hey what can you do start an internet war

 

[Mech]

Only another week and a bit until E3 and then another 100+ pages of rage. Good timing on Bethesdas part, truly.

 

[Ismaul]

@Vault Dweller what are your impressions?

The trailer shows Bethesda's creativity and deep understanding of the Fallout setting, so fuck yeah, I'm excited. If the rumors are true, it will be a dramatic experience paying homage to The Last of Us and the story will revolve around you seeking revenge for the death of your wife, a middle-aged woman.

Most likely their best post-Daggerfall game eh? Like you said about Fallout 3 if I remember correctly. Skill checks in dialogues and all that.

Not that it isn't true; they can improve on their best efforts and it'll still remain shit.

VD also liked Gothic 3 (not being sarcastic this time).
