Fallout 4 Post-Release Bullshit

[KallDrexx]

I don't get it.  It looks like just the same game.

You can say the same thing about the New Vegas trailer looking like Fallout 3, but it was still a fantastic game on it's own, which is why I'm excited for this.

[Fabricated]

So Fallout 4 with a slightly tweaked Skyrim engine as literally everyone expected.

Nice to see that there'll be something resembling an actual city now; the lack of scale on the new civilization was kinda weak in FO3 and NV. Like "oh wow, it's vegas!" and it's like half a city block divided into 3 load screens.

[Malakili]

I don't get it.  It looks like just the same game.

All the Fallout games are basically the same game.

Not really....

Sure they are, but that isn't a bad thing.  Why stray too far from the formula that works.  You're a person with a pipboy and you set off into the wasteland.  That's fallout.

They should pay Obsidian their backpay over the New Vegas thing plus some more to have them write and design the game, then have Bethesda actually program it since the only company worse at producing working games than Bethesda is Obsidian.

This. I mean, of course day 1 purchase; I got tons of play out of FO3. But NV was sooo much better and I got 3x as much enjoyment and time out of it.

So I'm also looking forward to the next Obsidian FO...

[Falconeer]

Same game that I loved like crazy six years ago or so, haven't played in that long, with improved graphics, scenery, and new stories? That's all I wanted.

[Malakili]

Yeah, New Vegas was actually my favorite of all the Fallout games.

[Paelos]

I don't get it.  It looks like just the same game.

It's why I don't like them as a whole.

Being from Mass, the Boston setting is Fahkin saweet.

[Malakili]

I think you mean wicked ahsum.

[Fabricated]

I look forward to the first shot of the PC's first house overflowing to the ceiling with collected boxes of macaroni or empty nuka cola bottles or some shit

[jakonovski]

Fallout with colors and Troy Baker. Yeah it might be ok.

As a German Shepherd ownder, the mocap on the dog was awesome and perfect.

No it wasn't and the fur sucked too.

I did.  I didn't buy it either.

It wasn't awesome but....it was a realistic portrayal of what the gameplay will look like.  Remember the bait and switch that was that watchdogs trailer? NEVER AGAIN!

[Sky]

Plot twist: you play as the dog.

[sickrubik]

Given the amount of pre-apocolypse stuff in the trailer, I wonder if there will be some sort of pre-apocolypse play involved.

[apocrypha]

And no indication of any MMO nonsense. Thank Christ.

Day 1 purchase.

[Gimfain]

The trailer didn't show anything that warranted a day 1 purchase, so might end up skipping on the paid beta and buy it once its patched properly instead. Its too early to tell.

It would be cool if the tutorial was pre-apoc instead of being a little kid in FO3.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Mind you, the timeline wouldn't work out for the same character, but maybe building the "mindset" of the vault or something along those lines.

[Rendakor]

They could always have the tutorial be the great grandparent of the actual MC.

[Lucas]

Not really hyped because I've never been much into the Fallout setting; graphics (although, yes, still a work in progress of course) looks more akin to the old 2008 gamebyro rather than Skyrim's Creation engine. Not exactly impressed by this first look (looking forward to the E3 conference, anyway)

You missed out. New Vegas was far better than FO3 and I really enjoyed FO3. Give it a whirl now that it's on uberdiscountsale.  Or I think I can let you borrow it on Steam.. we can do that now, right?

Can you do that ?

[Merusk]

Yes. I looked it up!

Think they may have nerfed that man.  Instead of picking accounts I want to authorize as family in the family section (which the screenshot in that article shows), I have to selection eligible users who may use my library on authorized computers.  Which of course are none because I haven't authorized the PC's (however you do that) of random individuals).  Not sure if there is an easy work around, but it seems they made it much harder to share with people you don't actually physically know.

Which is to bad.  I'm a packrat nerd with too much money and a bad collecting habit.  Have almost 500 steam games, the vast majority of which I haven't even touched.  Would be happy to share.  

[KallDrexx]

but it seems they made it much harder to share with people you don't actually physically know.

I'm pretty sure that's the purpose of the sharing mechanism, since it is family sharing. 

[Teleku]

Sure, but originally (like when that article was written) they had it setup so you could name anybody on your friends list (up to a number cap) to share it with.

wat. Yeah, fur wasn't great but the motion of the animal was exactly how Shepherds act. It was like I was watching a virtual version of my dog.

[Merusk]

Yeah, you have to communicate you can't just go, "LULZ HERE YOU GO." It has to be someone at your place logging-in or someone you trust enough to share your account info with.

That's still less of a draw-back than the fact only one person can ever be logged-in to the shared accounts. (Unless one of you goes offline mode, but then what about your CHEEVES man!?)

[Tannhauser]

Good trailer.

Awww yessss mutha-fuckin' Fallout.

[Signe]

You can pre order already but you know you really shouldn't.  Srsly.  :)

[PalmTrees]

I hope they expand out their comfort zone a bit. Trying to get by with same revelations (where super mutants come from, who the enclave are, that vaults are sinister) would be a big disappointment. I had played FO3 first and all those revelations were pretty great. Then I eventually went back and played 1,2 and was like, oh they're actually pretty lazy.

[satael]

I hate to admit it but I might pre-order this game if they happen to announce an interesting collector's edition for it.
(but for the normal edition I see no real reason to pre-order especially so soon).
