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

[Adon]

Is that an honest-to-god acknowledgement of New Vegas? I figured they didn't even look at that game.

Also, can anyone give the rundown on plot points? What's all this stuff about teleportation and the Institute.

You're a dad, wife dies, find your kid, infant aged guy.

I believe I now have a fully fleshed-out set of reasonable screening criteria which allow me to accurately identify people I should hate:

• pre-orders Fallout 4 and/or discusses it or Fallout 3 in a positive light
• hasn't yet purchased Underrail and Age of Decadence
• disagrees that Band of Brothers is not only the #1 television show of all time, but also the best movie of all time
• hasn't seen Blade Runner or Dr. Strangelove
• hasn't read Dune

Unfortunately, this screening process has eliminated almost the entire human race, so I'll be forced to live as a hermit from now on.

I check out on all those. Must mean I'm a pretty monocled gentleman. Thanks!

F4 seems to make you question your nature. Maybe you're a synth. Maybe Todd's a synth.
It's blade runner/do androids dream of electric sheep level of deepness.
Deeeeeeepneeeeeeess.

I didn't want to add "progressive retard" to the list because, generally speaking, it's best to keep politics out of game threads.

Come to think of it though, this is the Fallout 4 thread. No reason not to fill it with shit.

 

[you know what time it is]

So what's the news on mod tools? Trailer didn't have that proper hobo i feel i was looking for.

 

[taxalot]

Just read the plot twist. It's taken straight from Mother 3.
Except that game did it right.

So basically, Fallout 4 can be summed up as: I'm looking for my son, baby-aged guy. Maybe you've seen him? War never changes.

EDIT: So you can die in VATS if you take too long to choose where to hit.

Vats-a-mole takes to a new level.

Fix'd.

inferior Early Access experience

BLOCKED.

 

[Volrath]

I remember spamming the bethesda forums with "THE PRESIDENT IS A COMPUTER!!!" when FO3 was released. Good times.

I ended up being banned 'til 2065.

Wait, so androids are now a thing in Fallout? Big enough to be main plot? How the hell did that happen and how do you have actual synthetic humans in a retro sf where robots look like mr handy or those robobrain thingies?

Somebody finally invented a transistor. Or we have a perfect human replicas full of vacuum tubes. Foolproof design!

 

[undecaf]

Am I a bad person for being tempted to spam it all over the Internet, just to ruin this clusterfuck for the nu-Fallout generation?

Putting Dune and Age of Decadence on the same scale...

*ignored*

What's with the dick in front of Vault Boy's mouth? It looks like he's sick of sucking it, too.

How day u, how day u (...) Do u not understand how PASSIONATE and how DEDICATED Fallout fans are, and how are you literally RUINING everything for them!

Internet is full of nasty evil-doers!1! ! , news at 11.

Ha, this guy actually sounds like he genuinely cares (about crap) and is near mental brakedown while recording. He may be the only good voice actor hired by Beth.

Now i dont really see the fun for spoiling anything for anybody, i just dont give a shit (if i was paid to spoil stuff, yeah thats another matter), but in this case LOL.

 

[Cadmus]

rofl at that whining cocksucker complaining about the leaks
I read the spoiler but don't understand it anyway because I haven't been following the game at all. Does it still run on Abortionbryo engine? Uhh sorry, I meant the totally new and enhanced, made-from-scratch in-house goodness that is Creation.

"Bethesda showed us only SPECIFIC gameplay up to this point, so we could experience most of it for the first time"
Surely not because the rest of it is fucking shit.

 

[Black]

8chan is having fun.

 

[Blaine]

Does it still run on Abortionbryo engine?

Yes. It's been stated or strongly implied through various official and semi-official statements that Bethesda won't learn new development tools, won't develop outside the bounds of first-person/over-the-shoulder action shooters, certainly won't switch engines, and can't even do ladders.

They have a very particular formula and methodology, and they stick to it religiously. I frankly feel they're terrified of what might happen if they tried something new.
