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

[Curious_Tongue]

You know, I think he JUST came here to do a Fallout 3 LP.... and then he was gone.

Of course maybe he discovered GD and was like WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THIS PLACE and ran the hell away. Far far away. Or something.

Are you DriacKin?

my prediction: it will be as bad as fallout 3. i don´t think bethesda is so stupid as to make it worse, i hope. What i dislike the most about fallout 3 is the raping of the lore.

Well, at least it might be simpler to operate with mouse and keyboard.

I hope they make a decent interface for it, the Pipboy 3000 interface is pure ass.

P.S: There's something wrong when a modern game uses like dozens of screens to you the same information a old game with inferior resolutions used three screens and some toogles, max.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Going from Morrowind, to Oblivion, to Fallout 3, to Skyrim, it has overall gotten increasingly worse. Fallout 3 and Skyrim have some of the worst UI designs I have ever seen. Bethesda's UI guidelines are "It should look good, not necessarily work well". Whoever thought it was a good idea to have the Pip-Boy sway back and forth IMMERSIVELY while you're checking your inventory should be hanged.

Skyrim needed SkyUI to fix the UI, and even then the atrocious map and perk sections could not be saved. Fallout 4? They still have that goddamn Pip-Boy on the forearm, immersion over everything else. During the E3 presentation, there will probably fall bird crap onto the Pip-Boy display while Todd checks his inventory. The player character will then wipe the screen automatically, and fans watching will be all "OMG DID YOU SEE THAT GOTYYYYYYYYYYYYY". In the full game, bird shit can fall on the screen when you're outside, and the player can randomly sneeze onto the screen when inside. It will take 5 years after release until a modder finds a way to completely remove it from the game without breaking something.

My prediction is: Mouse lag, giant fonts, multiple unnecessary tabs to find all the information, the Pip-Boy is gonna shake as if the player character has multiple sclerosis, there will be random screen distortions and enviromental effects on your screen just because, and when you take damage the screen will visibly crack and make it harder to read. Bethesda are incompetent enough that none of this is farfetched.

Anyone noticed that vault-boy looks like Todd, it must've been destiny...... Todd is vault-boy !

 

[AW8]

"Our testers thought it was Toy Story and that they were playing as Woody." Oh my, can't unsee that now.

Todd looks closer to the Burger King than the vault-boy...

lololol the game starts in the 1950's . Todd has outdone himself.

 

[Monkeysattva]

People from 2015 can't do fifties like people from 1995 can FAIL

WE NEED TO GET TO THE VAULT NOW

I'm giggling all the way through this. Looks interesting at least.

 

[Gurkog]

Saw the guy and chick at the start of the presentation and shut it off, fuck BGS, fuck fallout, fuck my life.

 

[pippin]

So, apart from the stuff we already know, how bad will it be? I refused to watch the stream for mental health reasons.

 

[AN4RCHID]

Dialogue options are A/B/X/Y wheel

 

[AN4RCHID]

VATS is back, unchanged. Jesus fucking christ.

 

[Lemming42]

The Pipboy games are probably more fun than the rest of the game.

In all seriousness it looks like it'll be interesting if nothing else, the voiced dialogue and dialogue wheel looks like shit though.

 

[Killzig]

So SPECIAL is just base stats and PERKS now?

 

[abnaxus]

Layered armor system, like in Moronwind?

 

[Killzig]

Is this an RPG or The Sims?

 

[Lemming42]

God, what's this shit? I hope you can just ignore this crap and walk off and do usual Bethesda stuff.
