A bug free Obsidian game?

 

[Master]

I'd take complex & buggy over bland & bug free.

I meant more all the NV areas which made no sense.
But Gamebryo is pretty horrible and they probably werent familiar with it.

 

[Wunderbar]

where can i read more of Sawyer's insights into gamebryo?

His old formspring which is gone forever.

but you have a backup, right?

Guys are you nuts? What kind of recoil can be after shooting from ENERGY weapon? What the point in energy weapons if one of few pluses (increased accuracy) removed for sake of "balance". What kind of retard would construct energy weapons with same flaws that average guns? I can imagine that coversation:
First Engineer> "We have technology to create energy weapons, which better than average guns in armor penetration, accuracy, damage to living material (radioactive burns more dangerous than gun wounds) and almost completely silent. But cost of this technology will be much more than average guns.
Retard Director> "Can we add pew, pew to weapons? Cuz silent weapons is boring! Can we add recoil, so energy weapon will have the same "feel and vibe" (tm) as average guns? Armor damage and flesh damage is too OP, gun users will be offended, nerf it!"
First Engineer> "But such implementations will not make energy any less expensive!"
Retard Director > "I don't care, I want pew pew. I want weapon FEEL in my hand!"
First Engineer > "The only feel you will get - it's is taste of energy ray" *kills director with his energy weapon, nobody notices since weapon silent*
*kills guards since energy weapon penetrate armor and their mutant dogs, since flesh damage is superior"
*leaves building and sells blueprints to company which develop normal weapons*
The Happy Ending.

I was annoyed by this in Fallout games, where energy weapons was equal in damage and accuracy to guns or sometimes even inferior,lol.

Now while I agree that energy weapons should feel different, and shouldn't have recoil, roofs that energy weapons would be so inherently superior to ballistic weapons? It's just concentrated radiation, while lethal, is not necessarily more so than the good old high velocity metal.

Is it an energy weapon tho?

 

[Makabb]

2.5 million views. Yo momma.

On the side note, I gotta say "Welcome to the future. Try not to break it" is a great tagline.

'Try not to break it' is a shot at Bethesda when they said ' B.E.T.A, Break it early test application'

regular firearms are just kinetic energy weapons
you probably mean photonic weapon

I'm sure he meant that, since in Fallout energy weapons mean photonic (laser) weapon.

Its a coincidence...they wouldn't come up with a motto out of pettiness.

I too would like to believe they put this much thought into it.



However, as you can see, projectile type doesn't matter.

It's not, just like 'from creators of original Fallout and Fallout:New Vegas' is not a coincidence

Correct, it's marketing. Retard.

Yeah, they want to advertise it as best as they can, their angle is not "fucking bethesda"

 

[Wunderbar]

Maybe it's a small railgun.

That's what you think

 

[Xeon]

Game Spot says one if the things that matters is affiliation matters or something, like if someone injured and you bring them medicine from another company then they refuse it and decide to wait for help. That sounds pretty dumb reasoning.

Also I think they said one of the directors or something went to work for another unannounced game, wonder if that is something for Microsoft related.

It's supposed to be better than good ol' ballistic weappons, because nobody otherwise will bothers to produce it, since producing energy weapons means messing around with radioactive elements of micro nuclear reactors (and you should develop technology to produce micro nuclear/fission reactors first, lol) and protect user from radiation. Even if you will use fission reactors, you still need energy stabilization, so energy weapon didn't blow up in hand of user. You need investing in research of new materials and other stuff. If after years of research and investment energy weapon will be inferior to guns - failed project, move on another. Nobody will produce failed product.

Is it an energy weapon tho?

Well it's shooting definitely not average bullets (atleast visual effect is different), so I assumed that this is energy weapon.

However, as you can see, projectile type doesn't matter.

After re-watching video I can't even sure which type of weapon is this, since it looks like 3 types of projectile combined, lol.

Fallout 4 visuals are fine

Citation please. Flat and not properly shadowed city are fine? The overexposed southern part of the map are fine? Glowing puke is fine? Fallout 4 looks like shit but different kind of, much meaner, seeing The Outer Worlds adapting similar techniques actively hurts the game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/377160/Fallout_4/

Or you could play the game. It's a piece of shit but the visuals are fine.

They were rather colorful, too. You usually couldn't see that because they kept the weather shitty most of the time, or you would see the bad LOD models in the distance:

 

[Makabb]

Fallout 4 graphics are not the problem, the artstyle and non existant rpg is the problem.

That's neither how weapons industry or arms technology works. People make sidegrades all the time, photon weapons even if they aren't inherently superior would obviously have a purpose, especially in space.

By "Original Creators" they wanted say that "Tim & Leo are at the helm" but what people understood is "Obs is calling themselves original creators, shots fired etc", its just that they didn't account for retards which they didn't have to anyway

A bug free Obsidian game?

Was PoE really that bugged on release?

 

[Infinitron]

There are some plot similarities between this game and Fallout. The late colony ship that your character arrives on is sort of like the Vault. You're released from your cryostasis pod by the old scientist and tasked with acquiring what he needs to revive the rest of the passengers, which is sort of like how the Overseer sends you to find the water chip to save the rest of the Vault.

So what we've heard about how you can just kill the scientist and go do other stuff makes sense. Just like how finding the water chip isn't actually your final objective in Fallout. Maybe you don't need to help your ship at all.
