Why don't you like this game, Yas Forums?

Not a game.
That is clearly a book.

I'm here since 2008 and I loved this game.
Newfags are irrelevant.

Seems like a shitty book

Don't like the MC being voice acted in games where the MC is supposed to be a blank slate. Works in Mass Effect because Shepard is Shepard, but almost everywhere else it feels wrong.

The freakout about the mc's dead spouse did not evoke whatever emotion emil was trying to convery, what a fucking hack that guy is

I love this game. No i'm not a bethdrone, I like NV too. Although I like this one just a little bit better since I personally like the quality of life and cityscape.
Only had it crash a whopping twice to the vast amount of crashes I've had with 3 and NV.

Because it had a lot of potential, but failed to use it.

It's literally a looter shooter. It's borderline unplayable without mods and has made minimal content. The fact that your character comes with that much backstory is also fucking awful.

God I hate this game, it's so empty.

I do like it.

>East coast is boring
>Plot was uninspired
>Settlement system was overhyped garbage
>Skill system got gimped even further
>Black and white morality with no nuance or complexity to it
>Barely any dialogue variety
>Radio consisting of 50% recycled songs from FO3 and 50% songs that cover radiation, nukes and the end of the world in one way or another, like it wasn't hammered in enough by the setting although the Magnolia songs were good.
>Power armor rendered almost completely useless and run out of power immediately despite having nearly endless power supply in canon
>None of the factions are interesting

And don't forget the plot not making any fucking sense and being a 80-90% copy-paste of NV.

I don't remember new vegas having a fuck ton of radiant quest to increase your play time

I'm not talking about that - I mean the main storyline.

Yea, they tried to lazily copy the faciton system with choices that doesn't even matter

Without mods it's an irredeemable mess, but with mods it turns into a neat looter shooter with lots of gun customization and some town building. The story is absolute shit though, there's really no fixing that.

It's a looter shooter, a fun one when you play it for the first time and you haven't played Fallout before.

It was my first Fallout game, it got me into the series (Which i played backwards for some reason, now FO2 is my favorite one). I guess that having played it i'm glad that the combat was improved

Story is just bad. It doesn't feel original, it just feels like a bunch of sci-fi tropes sticked together

It's shallower than a kiddie pool designed for amputees.

I do, it looks pretty

pure comfy

they should have gone with sandbox gameplay. choose what you are at the beginning and choose your own adventure. you know, similar to most mods from their previous and current games. just make it so that it has environmental storytelling. let the community figure out what really happened/is happening.

It basically overhauled

>combat
>weapon modding
>crafting
>VATS
>power armor
>music
>sound design
>character's faces that no longer look like baked potatoes
>every single animation from ordinary people sitting down to liberty prime getting activated

But of course this doesn't matter to the diehard fans because

>lackluster story
>boring sidequest missions
>muh voiced protagonist

In any objective analysis it is a complete upgrade from the previous games, but muhh story, muhh radiant quests and muhh voiced protagonist are literally the only constant complains I hear about it, the three things most important to the fans of the original series.

I wonder how Bethesda will fuck up TES 6. How could they top Fallout 4?

TES is their baby, they'll most likely test "controversial" mechanics in starfield first then implement the ones with good feedback

I hate the guns in 4 though

I found it decent though sadly fallout will never be the same. Go 76

based

I especially dislike the left handed rifles, I have no idea what was running in todds head when he approved it

Fallout will never be the same. It seems like Zenimax wants it to become another ESO game.

Sure, you hated the designs. That's your subjective preference. You can have those, it's fine.

But you're lying to me, and yourself, if you think FO3 and New Vegas actual gunplay and combat system is better. The animations were trash and the combat was disconnected and janky compared to FO4.

Because ejecting hot brass right into your face is 'cinematic'

The factions all feel black and white, but at least the gameplay itself was fine with mods.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't most early shooters use the left hand technique so more shit was happening on screen for players to look at?

>It was my first Fallout game
I'm genuinely sorry

Yes, it's better in the sense that it's mediocre instead of bad. There's a million FPS games with better combat, if shooting gameplay were the only thing that mattered I'd play one of those

Fallout 3 didn't.

Here’s the thing about fallout
fo3 was good for its time, but combat sucked
new vegas was a "new game" but it looked exactly the same and there were no innovative new features, fighting things were a chore. plus there were like no open world respawns, making its replayability the worst.

When you first start out in NV there’s no story at all. I’ve never played an RPG like that. There’s nothign to draw you in, and the game is so retarded if you so much as walk in the wrong direction you get raped by a deathclaw, because ObsSHITian is too lazy to design a decently flowing world map so they lock down sections with high-level mobs.

New Vegas was one of the most bizarre aberrations ever released by a major studio. It felt like more like a buggy fan-mod than a genuine studio release. autistic, undisciiplined ideas litter the game like children's toys, massive amounts of trash. Multiple ammo types to help slow down and complicate combat even more? For no reason, a blue Super Mutant in a dress is now your friend? That’s gay shit

This is why Fallout 4 is the best.

fallout 4 is by far the most enjoyable. they added innovative new features like ADS, hit markers, respawning enemies (when u compare it to NV its a new feature) and made VATs a lot less cheap. It still is a noob feature, but instead of stopping time it slows time, not by enough in my opinino though .

Power armor is finally as it should be. Its not a gay looking martian suit that looks so flimsy a 9mm bullet could penetrate it. Now i can believe its actual powerful death suit, not the worst cosplay at faggotcon. Plus, in fo4 you can attach jetpack. A fucking jetpack. Enough said, fo4 is the FIRST 3D fallout to have a jetpack.

fo4 is just a superior, well polished game.

>Mediocre instead of bad

Which returns to my original point. It's one of many aspects upgraded from the previous games.

Meh bait, got a reply from me

Because Fallout is an RPG you braindead zoomer. I don’t give a fuck how good of a looter shooter this dogshit game is.

Fucking based, now I can fly around in the wasteland in my jetpack power armor while listening to Butcher Pete and killing deathclaws with my mini-nuke launcher. Wacky 1950s fun!

And it doesn't matter because the RPG aspects, something I play Fallout games for, were fucking flattened

Can anyone explain todds infatuation of power armor? his games cover art are always power armor

Oh i can easily forget a bad story if the gameplay is good. I did that for Fallout 4, a lot of things don't make sense but i kinda feel like the gameplay overall doesn't compensate for everything

Yes the guns are better but it feels like there is only 3 weapons in the game and the rest of the weapons are just variations on those 3 weapons. Weapon modding is basically "just pick the best upgrade available", there is almost never a tradeoff to think about.

Also, lack of uniques sucked, i've played the game 2 times and the only unique gun i can remember is Kellogg's pistol.

>crafting
I 100% believe that crafting systems most of the time break your game and harm your game more than it helps it because it turns the player into a vacuum cleaner and it's mostly for settlement shit which is very basic honestly. Nothing ever happens with settlements besides attacks, which if you have good defenses, never happen.

>VATS
Easily an improvement, wish crippling arms and legs did a little bit more

i agree on the rest of your list. I can have a fun time clearing a building of raiders but it kinda sucks that it's a back and forth between you and an NPC that says "Go kill X amount of Y monsters"

Like i said, i can forgive a bad story if the gameplay makes up for it but it rarely does. The combat is fun but the lack of variety in the encounters kinda kills it for me, i'm glad enemies do shit like take cover for once but that's mostly it. Animals are also boring to fight unless you are fighting a Deathclaw

Hahaha, good bait. Got a few chuckles from me

So what was blocking you from roleplaying fully in FO4 compared to the previous games?

Lemme guess
[spoiled]voiced protagonist[/spoiler]

enjoy your pipe weapons you egg sucking faggot, 4's combat is the worst in the series

Because it looks cool (to normies), even though in Fallout 2 you see the power armor has lost its luster from Fallout 1 and is being used by fucking tribals.

Someone post the Super Mutant note already

t. chess club member

New Vegas and Brotherhood of Shit were the only two games WITHOUT Unnamed Power Armour Dude on the cover, though

I enjoyed it more than F3

There is nothing in this game I cared about. Your only replies in conversation are yes, stern yes, no, stern no. Shit dies real fast.

Yes but, those aren't todds releases

Ok retard

>4's combat is the worst in the series
Nah let me stop you right there, the combat might not be the best in the world but it's a huge improvement over NV where the enemies stand in place waiting to be headshot while firing their peashooters.

Also, i'm glad we can have more than 2 NPCs on screen, New Vegas "battles" are just like 3 dudes in total

Attached: ha.jpg (301x168, 8.05K)

And New Vegas doesn't really count because there's still a guy in "power armor" on the cover, it's just a different type.

The dialogue is bad and you barely have any choice on what to say, the characters are bland and poorly written, it's a typical Bethesda world where absolutely nothing in the geography and layout of the map makes any sort of sense, the shooting is passable, the quests are mostly garbage outside of a designated few, and I guess that's all

But ranger armor isn't power armor

Todd didn't make FO1, FO2, or Tactics. All three have PA Dude

The character backstories were too forced, but at the same time poorly written, and clashed with the rest of the game
>You are an ex-soldier, you love your wife and child very much
>Now fuck around building houses and having wacky adventures. Also you're gay/bi/whatever and are immediately open to new relationships even though you just saw your wife get killed like a week ago
>Wasn't there a baby or something you were supposed to save?
>MUH SHAAAAAUUUUUN

>level 1 weapons against fucking assassins
>running up to enemies close range at low health
no wonder you love Fallout 4 so much, it's practically designed for vegetables like you

This but unironically. The nostalgia from NVfags is insane.

I said todd's games not the entire franchise, all 3 of todds releases (f03, f04, f76) all have power armor in the cover art

>three dudes in total
did you finish the game before posting this

Because the world is shallow and uninteresting. There's a reason people still make NV threads, meanwhile I've NEVER seen a 4 thread about the story. It's always to shit on Preston Garvey or how retarded the Institute is.
>I literally can't explain to you my motives because you're too dumb to understand
Bravo Bethesda

And I'm telling you it's just continuing the trend from the old games because they all did it too

Which is why I put it in quotes. All but one game has a guy in exotic armor on the cover, that's the point.

>he mentally blocks out the shitty animations, the lack of a muzzle flash, the retarded janky reload

Ok retard. Keep posting.

Yes i did. The only battles that actually feel like a battle are most encounters in Lonesome Road. Every encounter in that fucking DLC feels like a better climax than the Hoover Dam fight, even against the tunnelers

The highway section was kino as well and it did a good job at making you find your way through a destroyed city

Still don't understand what's with the robot racing part, they just attack u, it seems like they planned something but dropped it cause of time
