Fallout 4 Pre-Announcement Bullshit Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

Well, you wouldn't want GTA IV or motherfucking MGS4 to win, would you?
edit: fuck, that troll background image is scary

 

[Lemming42]

What a horrible selection. Fallout 3, Braid, FC2, GTA IV... might as well have just picked a winner at random. Maybe that's what they did.

I supposed I should say all credit to sea for the image.

yes

 

[DalekFlay]

Say what you want about GTA4's potato vengeance storyline, it was certainly better written than fucking Fallout 3.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I dunno.

- Niko, I've seen what you did to that guy. Now you work for me.

- Okay.

- Hahahaha, now that you have outlived your usefulness, I betray you.

- Okay.

- Hahahaha, now that you have outlived your usefulness, I betray you.

- Okay.

- Niko, here is the guy you've been looking for. We found him somewhere. Kill him if you want.

- Okay.

- Niko, I'm one of those guys you worked for, and I'm pissed at you for letting me live instead of shooting me like all the others. Prepare for trouble!

- And make it double!...I mean, I'm one of those guys you worked for, too. You killed all the others so now only the two of us remain. Who will you work for?

- Okay. I choose...you.

- Hahahaha, now that you have outlived your usefulness, I betray you.

- COUSIN, LET'S GO BOWLING, YES?

GTA's gameplay betrays its narrative every time with the dumb PC always being everyone's bitch. The writing is still good though, even if the plot is video game to the extreme.

I've never enjoyed MGS because Japan so I dunno.

 

[mikaelis]

...but Emil Pagliarulo will win the contest for the dumbest fat ass that tried writing on a video game....

Emil gonna Emil...

He was a level design in Thief 2, wasn't he? (and a pretty good one as far as I remember)... well...., level designer does not translate into writing skills, I am afraid. Though I still remember some people saying back in a day: "Look!, but that's Emil! From Thief 2! He can't spoil it! Fallout 3 is in a very good hands!"

Do not trust Emils, I tell you.

Beginns with epic battles, ends with co-op.

Wow, that was the biggest idiot-list-of-ideas I could've imagined that somebody else could possibly imagine.

Wow, that was the biggest idiot-list-of-ideas I could've imagined that somebody else could possibly imagine.

15. Epic Battles

14. Improved Crafting System

13. Emergent Gameplay/Narrative

12. Livelier Cities

11. New Animations

10. Multiple Quest Routes

9. New Gun Play

8. No Bugs

7. Survival Mode

6. Vehicles

5. New Graphics Engine

4. Rogue Mode

3. A Whole New World

2. Base Building

1. Co-op

It's not a terrible list, but even if all these ideas get implemented, it's still going to be a shit game.

 

[DalekFlay]

Bethesda have always prided themselves on being singleplayer but eventually they're going to give in and do co-op. Which sucks because it will surely change the design of the games and detract from the singleplayer experience.

i would like to see a sort of cover system. I don’t want randomly placed objects like mass effect, but if there happens to be a car/rock around. i would like to fire from cover, or at least put my back up against a wall.

Lol, you guys~

You got very far, I didn't even managed that. The whole beginning was beyond retarded but my aneurysm exploded with Megaton, just read a codex playthrough and there are worse stuff later . Honestly, I hate David Gayder, David Cage and other hacks that pass as writers but Emil Pagliarulo will win the contest for the dumbest fat ass that tried writing on a video game. Dear Lord, the writing was full of retardness. I don't think a normal human being can write in the way he writes even if he tried. What I think is sad is how most people in Bethesda forums don't even have the low intellectual horsepower required to realize how total crap the writing was.

Behold and dispair

It's just proof that people without talent can network and concentrate on presentation to conceal the fact that the sh*t just wasn't that good.

Fallout New Vegas has very clever dialogue, including inflections, irony and what appears to be persuasion and negotiation. Somebody improved vastly on FO3 when they went to work on this.

FNV was Obsidian, not Bethesda, so there you go.

What singleplayer experience?

 

[Infinitron]

Here is the quote in question: http://www.destructoid.com/bethesda-versus-freemium-multiplayer-sequels-251674.phtml

But surely, single-player gaming is dead, no matter how passionate a developer is. Why is Dishonored surviving in the face of that stark reality? The Bethesda camp believes it's not so much reality as it is people skewing the narrative based on their own interests.

"It's important to note that quite a few people who tend to say those kinds of things do so because it's not what they're doing," explains the VP. "No publisher or developer making single-player games ever comes out and says single-player games won't work. Guys that do mobile games predict that console gaming as we know it is dying. People that do console-only games proclaim that PC is dead. Funny how people don't predict failure for the thing it is they're making or doing. They make those statements to build up or defend what they're doing and tear down what they aren't doing.

"Or, they just don't know what the hell they're talking about."

Hines remains adamant that solo experiences still have plenty of life left.

"Single-player games aren't going anywhere. Bethesda Softworks has been making single-player games for all of our 25+ years in the industry. We're still here, we're still making them, and people are still buying them. Dishonored was single-player and people really loved it, and it sold well.Skyrim was a complete success. A single-player RPG. There's practically a cottage industry dedicated to talking about how that isn't possible or why that won't succeed. Console fans won't get a game like that. Has to have multiplayer of some kind. PC gaming is dead. It's gotta be a shooter. RPGs are a niche. Etc.

"People like fun games. They have games they like to play by themselves, they have games they like to play with others. Every game doesn't have to be all things to all people. And so the Skyrims and Fallout 3s and Bioshock Infinites and Walking Deads of the world aren't going anywhere. Just stop already."

"Talent" has nothing to do with it. Talent is optional: can be substituted with experience or hard work. The magic thing is "intelligence". I doubt there's much of it on payrolls. And even if is, the management staff probably does its best to extinguish it. In other words, don't expect anything good from a company full of roaring morons.

Indeed. He and others in the company have said similar things many other times too.

Still I feel like they will have to do co-op eventually, just because so many people scream endlessly for it and suits think that matters.

"And the Award for Writing goes to. . .

Fallout 3!"

Unfucking real.

 

[shiteatingnippledick]

I was taking a shit today, when one turd created an abnormally large splash. I stood up to investigate and low and behold a copy of Fallout 4 was right there in the porcelain bowl amidst the mud monkeys and fudge dragons. I was like "FUCKIN SWEET". I took it to my PC and it was all "I don't usually play Casul ARPGs, but for you WHY NOT LOL" and I was all "FUCKIN SWEET". So it started playing and I was like "This game is awesome but way to fuckin childish"(by this point I had played it 7 times while pouring yoghurt on my nipples).
So I jumped through the monitor into the game and got Veronica pregnant only using only my left testicle. I put on her clothes and began mercilessly fucking every character. Once they saw that I was unstoppable, the people of Bethesda, having nothing left to live for seeing my god like abilities rape their pathetic whore wifes, committed suicide.
Upon witnessing my triumphant genocide, Todd Howard uttered "What have I done?" and built the worlds most advanced robot to shoot him in the head with a solid gold pistol loaded with bullets made from the rarest diamonds.

 

[Modron]

So fallout 4 got the same modded experience as fallout 3? Good to know.

 

[shiteatingnippledick]

Why change the working formula?
