Anyone else tried making a town or even a wall? It's hell. You can't place anyting where you want it and it keeps "snapping" to nearby peaces, making the whole ordeal a trail of patience.

The engine is still the same crap. I hated it in FO3, I hated it in New Vegas. I hate it in FO4.

The story is shit too. Remember how Fallout 3 the main quest was "find your dad"? This time they went with "find your son", totally original, right?

It's true. All non-Steam sellers e.g. GMG have GOG keys. It would have been retarded of CD Projekt to not utilize Witcher's popularity to draw attention to GOG.
Ah, in that case.

So...is there even some kind of "hand-holding" while you want to build something?
Also...can you gather resources dismounting everything in the world?

And that's why it's fun to play. Because the combat in good, in Witcher 3 everything else is good but the combat is shit.

Games are to be played, that's why Fallout 4 > Shitcher 3

Witcher 3 is shit combat if you play as a total try hard tomato can that actually takes advice from other try hards. They roll around, spam Quen and fast attack. That's boring. Lucky for me i'm not a try hard. In modern Bethesda games all they want to do is fight level scaled enemies, get level scaled loot, explore level scaled world. It was refreshing to play Witcher 3, to be absolutely punished, wrecked by enemies only to return later for revenge. Modern Bethesda fans after trying Witcher 3, get wrecked by enemies, then cry this limits exploration. What they mean by ruined exploration is they can't kill, loot, plunder all the enemies at level 3 on the way to the next level scale encounter.

Bethesda is the History channel of games. The History channel at one point actually did show things on history. Sure it was mediocre, but atleast they tried. Now the History channel only has topics about Ancient Alien, Pawn Stars that rip off gambling addicts, Pickers that cheat 80 year old men and Truck Drivers. Sure revenue is up thanks to increase in advertisement revenue. They still had to absolutely corrupt, stain the name to achieve this, or what the Codex calls, decline.

Not everything in the world, you have a certain range. The tutorial is kinda crappy. However, I DID rush to the building part, because the main quest was such a bore, so maybe I missed something.

The UI is horrible, made for console people. The controls are insane. You move with WASD, but give commands to your dog with the arrow keys. You loot stuff using E, Enter and TAB.

You also get Power armor 10 minutes after you set foot in the wasteland. Mine is sitting in the garage - it's not fun to use, because it has limited battery and it can get damaged. Other items though don't. Guns and armor don't have durability. The world is filled with various crafting tables. There's a workbench, an armor bench, a cooking bench, an alchemy bench and the power armor stand... And menus. Lots of menus that are made for console controllers.

Admittedly I pirated the game and ran it just now, and I don't know why, but in the intro house I get a constant 55-60fps, and yet when I move the mouse or walk the game feels very stuttery. Does anyone know of a fix to this weird behavior?

I wonder when they are going to man up and show actual tits in their games. I mean, even Bioware does that now.

I don't understand that... It's trivial to make pc menus that appear when the player loads the game on a pc. And players complain about the consolish interface every time Bethesda release a game. Then someone comes and mods in a decent interface. What's so hard about satisfying fans and doing things right from the beginning?

Turn right after Alpha Centauri
It's even worse than Bioware romances, ffs.

I doubt it is something worse than the biggest offender for a terrible character that was Sera from Inquitardation...

Just fought a Super Mutant who screamed "YOU HUMANS MADE US, NOW SUFFER FOR YOUR ARROGANCE"!

Umm... did humans make them? I know humans made FEV but I thought the first strain capable of creating Super Mutants was made by the Master.

Technically the master was a human. That said, the mutants in FO1 didn't refer to the master as human. OF course, the Toddler Squad never played FO1, they just played half of the abomination that is FO2 and called it a day.

Fallout 4 is the first game in history to dethrone dota from 1st place on steam. :salute:

Todd you are a king, not even GTA V managed this, Gaben is yours.

The TV report only mentions that there were confirmed nuclear detonations in several cities, there's no mention on who attacked first and the reason, so it might have been a retaliatory strike by the Chinese to a US first strike, it might have been in response to the invasion of the Chinese mainland or it might even have been vault tech... The emails and reports you read in several computers make it clear that the higher ups were clearly expecting the nuclear apocalypse to be eminent.


[Mothership Zeta] Or aliens did it.

It's because F4 and Dota2 have the same auditory.
Or different auditory in different time zones, so peaks do not match.
Or something.

Started up the game, and as ever the logic path Vault-Tec employees follow is astounding. The briefings mention 'consequences' and crap for not following them but...from who? Guys, most of your superiors are probably dead. Who are you going to file reports and experiment results to? Show off that fancy freezing gun? The Overseer himself knew that A) it was still going to be crazy radioactive after the shelter period so it was suicide to go outside, B) they barely had enough food to make it to the shelter period even if things go exactly to plan, C) Vault-Tec already flat out says they consider most of the crew in a Vault expendable, D) Vault-Tec has a penchant for playing games with people. Just look at what they've done with his own batch of dwellers. Turned into ice cubes with barely more than a hello.


Yet he still follows protocol to the letter and doesn't seem to realize they're just fucking with him and don't really care everyone kicks it. Where do they get these Overseers? They're all ignorant douchebags!

Making the vaults into experiments was the worst thing they could have ever done to the lore. It also fucking sucks how every Fallout game has to be done as if the PC was a vault dweller. Every fucking game has to have a vault suit and a pip boy. Ok, you might kill a random vault dweller, chop his arm and equip his pip boy, but please drop the Protagonist is a Vault Dweller thing. It's as annoying as Protagonist is a Prisoner. At least in Morrowind it was symbolic.
