I think most negative reactions are from disapointed graphix whores, I don't think most Bethesda fans suddenly got aware of Bethesda's awful writing and game design but a big portion of Bethesda's fans are graphix whores. When Skyrim came out, it was a big improvement on the graphix department over both Oblivion and Fallout 3 but Fallout 4 is a fucking ugly game even for last generation standards. What I seen so far makes it look worse than even Fallout 3 on some departments, on the guns for example, they look like plastic toys and the textures are terribly muddy and low resolution.

There is something creepy too with the facial animations, the models are more detailed than on the previous games but the awful facial animation make them look robotic and creepy as fuck. It is funny because Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim were released for the same consoles but Fallout 4 is released for a new generation and is ugly as fuck.

LOL, I literally can't stand Fallout 4. Seriously, I suffer from minor light sensitivity and this makes me nauseous:

And since for some mysterious reason there's no gamma setting in the game, there's nothing I can do about it. In other words, Todd made a game that I'm physically unable to play, lol. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something...

I gotta disagree. I think its like prodigydancer says. Competition makes the difference.

The funny thing about gaming market, is that if one game makes extraordinary progress, it doesn't just become something to look up to. It becomes an expected standard. Instantly. Every game that comes out later will be viewed through that lens, and if its not up to par, it becomes worst thing since Hitler. Its obviously idiotic, but that's how general public operates.

In other words, Witcher 3 did this. W3 has many flaws, but it really set a new standard in terms of not just graphics, but facial animations, lipsync, worldbuilding, and so on. And Fallout is now being held to that standard.

yes

that you are a dumbfuck for getting it in the first place
I got it from a kickass store and couldn't resist at least taking a look. It's like with bestiality or scat porn - you know what to expect, you see the thumbnail, but the curiosity still gets the better of you.

1. Change settings in your GFX drivers. NVidia allows that.
2. Look at your monitor settings. I use three different and switching between them.

My monitor is like 7 years old and I never had to touch the default settings. No way I'm doing that for one shitty game.

Hm checked steam reviews. Had a hard time finding Russian positive review. :russia:
Switch to English and suddenly all thumbs up. Its interesting how perception is changing from region to region. Animu lovers are al positive, Russians hate it, euro neutral and usa are more positive than negative.

Sounds about right. As ever, the Japanese are ahead of the tech curve and leading us to our dark future. They barely even buy consoles anymore much less PCs... it's all phone games in Japan now. They don't have the attention span for actual RPGs.

On the other hand you have the retro Eastern Europeans refusing to live in the present. Good for them.

I'm absolutely stumped as to how bad this actually is. I got it on Steam just to check it out and refunded it within an hour. Everything sucks. I didn't expect much, but seeing as how Fallout Shelter is the best Fallout game since Fallout 1 (because it's not trying to be something it's not and it doesn't fuck up any of the canon) I had to try. I just had to.

It was worse than I expected in every way. It really, really, really sucks. Not just because it rapes the Fallout franchise square in the ass, no, that ship sailed a long time ago. It sucks all on its own. What a terrible piece of shit. It's glitchy, the writing makes YouTube comments seem genius in comparison, the art direction is an absolute mess, the sound design is trite and flat, the voice acting is atrocious, the interface doesn't work on a PC, the character system has been gutted, the dialogue system has been reduced to a keyword system, the pacing is irregular and annoying, the plot is a retarded mix between Wasteland 2 and Fallout 3 and you can see the 'twist' coming from a mile away. I uninstalled the game within an hour and already predicted that the bad guy was the son. But you know what the worst sin of this game is? It's boring. Downright boring. No excuse for that. How much money did they throw at this game? What. The. Fuck.

To be fair the voice acting probably sucks because of the writing. If you can read "Come on, give the mobile a spin, he likes that." and make it sound good you deserve a fucking BVTA award.

How are you fuckers frothing at the mouth over this release while the Underrail announcement sits just below with just 15 comments?

Shitty Bethesda games being shitty is old news. Underrail, PoE, WL2 EE, DOS EE, etc etc... In this sea of incline, who gives a shit about Fallout 4? Just wait for Obsidians FO4:New New York or whatever while playing one of the dozens of new titles which don't suck.

I didn't appreciate it at the time, but thanks for Infinitron trying to turn the codex into a sea of subforums, it's now very easy to ignore the Bethesda Software forum and have a near complete fallout 4 free experience. Thanks semite!

That is just it; 4 years ago Skyrim brought the "open world" to the masses But a lot of games came out since like Far Cry 3 and lately Witcher 3 Which puts Fallout 4 to shame with a much more mature storyline which actualy respects the inteligence of it audience, less bugs and actualy modern graphics. Bethesda is a victim of its own success now and thank god even console retards can be critical enough to expect simply more fron having experienced better ipen world games
I really dont think even IGN would give their Goty to Fallout 4 given the quality of games like Bloodborne, Witcher 3 and Metal Gear 5 compared to this piece of shit which doesnt push anything forward for the damn genre, setting, mechanics, story, dialogue or whatever
A fucking disgrace I tell you not even worth pirating

Is it me or is finding a face you like at character creation pretty fucking hard. The tool is so complex but it only lets you create uncannies or monstrosities. They did alright with Skyrim, why this now.

I don't really get why user reviews for this game specifically are so negative when it's basically just Skyrim with guns, and everyone seemed to love that one. Have people finally gotten tired of Bethesda rehashing the same formula over and over again post-Morrowind?
Skyrim had skills.

Skyrim didn't have a voice acted PC. <---- Kills any change for decent content mods.

Skyrim is far better than this shit, and Skyrim isn't even good.

People subconsciously prefer a nice fantasy Scandinavia over radioactive ghettos. That's just logical.

IT BEGINS.
