I would like to try it sometime, but won't buy it myself. I'll ask for it for my birthday this month or Christmas. I am sure it's a solid, even great game, but I really don't like how they messed with the role playing aspects. Less conversation options, removing skills, neutering the importance of SPECIAL, all things that irk me. One of my favorite things in New Vegas was how many different ways there were to complete quests, even in just the dialogue. Having high skills could make for entirely different experiences. Going through Old World Blues with high Science was an absolute hoot. By removing those elements from the game, you remove what made it interesting and unique for me. The game is clearly a successor to Fallout 3, not New Vegas. And while Fallout 3 was a good game at the time that I put time into, when I look back there's nothing that really stood out. I just kind of shrug my shoulders and go "eh, it was fun I guess". Given that and how I generally don't really get grabbed by Bethesda RPGs due to similar issues, I am holding off until it's cheaper or it's a gift.
This is exactly why I loved Fallout 3 so much more than New Vegas. It was amazing to explore DC in the game when I had also explored it in real life. Gave me a total sense of deja vu and really grounded me into that game. The most exciting thing about FO4 to me is that it has another real city to explore, one that I am also sort-of familiar with in real lifedyre said:
Also, if Fenway Park isn't in that game as a haven for mutants they should fire their head writer and hire you
I'm personally waiting at least a week or two to hear if its going to be Skyrim on Playstation again, with the game being unplayable by anyone but an insane masochist for almost six months after release.
And my computer won't play it, so thats not on table.
I mean, there's already this http://www.vg247.com/2015/11/09/fallout-4s-frame-rate-can-drop-to-the-low-20-fps-line-on-ps4-and-xbox-one/

A slightly better fallout 3 sounds heavenly!
And of course it's buggy. It's bethesda. I don't mind too much, the modders will fix it by the time it goes on sale, you modders are awesome you are!
Overall, i'm really excited, but i'll wait until the game is unbugged, and there are more reliable reviews out there, and the game goes on sale. If i can help myself that is.

It's really amazing that this even needs to be said anymore. It's not like the issue that a 7 is a "bad" game is something new or a minor thing in gaming circles or anything. An anticipated game from a big studio is bound to get awesome scores unless it gives users the plague or something...at which point, they'll probably label it an 8/10.BloatedGuppy said:
Of course, reviewers only seem to be on the take if it's a game I don't think deserves the amazing praise it gets, but I'm sure that's just coincidence.
Personally, I can think of nothing that stops me from experiencing the atmosphere faster than slapping me in first person mode.Gethsemani said:
Well, turning off my minorit, but you get the point.
In terms of gameplay I'd say; yes. But as a roleplaying experience I really miss the old style. Fallout New Vegas really brought that back for a large part though, and I must say I'm slightly disappointed that they ignored the advances (or rather, re-discoveries) made on that front.BloatedGuppy said:
What? No it didn't. All it said was "Fallout 4 included polyamory and didn't make a big deal out of it. And I like that." That's all what he said boiled down to. And y'know what; yeah that's pretty rad for people who are into that.inu-kun said:
Well I mean, they'd have to rate it a 8/10 at least. Anything less will lead to calls from the fans for the studio to blacklist the reviewer.
Still, looks interesting. I figure I'll give it six months for the fans to patch the game.

Got it last night digitally, only really escaped the vault before quicksave/quitting as didn't have much time spare. Am fairly pleased with it from that tiny, insigificant experience alone. The other thread had some very negative opinions that almost stopped me buying it though. Admittidly the dialogue options are streamlined, but the voiced protagonist (who is a lovely lady with fantastic eye make-up, if i must say so/apply so myself). The Witcher 3 style camera changes during dialogue adds a lot of appreciated character dimension to their speak. The sound of an ending with a binary choice is not a brilliant one, but endings and me never get on. So far to say that i almost always prefer the journey than the destination. A game about exploring, wandering and learning...it makes quite a much of sense that the conclusion will be dissatisfying. As is life. Baddum. Can't wait to play it tonight and see if i can garner the hatred found amongst the interwebs. Wondeful eyeliner options, wonderful! Do not want to wear a protective helmet, style is the priority if you have endless lives.
As somebody who still regularly goes back to Fallout 1 and 2 and has a blast, I'm... probably going to wait until this is absurdly cheap, or pre-owned. Everything I saw in the leaks and the voiced protagonist has convinced me that I don't want to give Bethesda money.
The reviews aren't all that surprising; it's rare to see a high profile game like this get below a 7. Only positive I have for the game is that the weapon system looks pretty decent. Everything else just feels... Fallout 3-y.
Fallout New Vegas spoiled me a little in that regard.

played it for a few hours, apart from the odd physics glitch and corpses occasionally clipping through ground ive had absolutely no issues so far and its got a great intro, best one ive seen so far in a fallout game. its very much fallout new vegas with extra bells and whistles
building a settlement is fun but VERY fiddly

Wow! That sounds... pretty darn good. Developers everywhere must be cursing CD Projekt Red to the high heavens for the new standards they've set for open world gaming. It certainly looks like Bethesda's been taking their notes and have improved as a result. Characters without Bethesda face, a story I can actually get invested in, side quests that have real stories behind them...BloatedGuppy said:
Being a Bethesda open world game, I wasn't even remotely hyped for this game, but now I'll definitely give it a go when the patch comes out.
