Steamship Ahoy - Fallout 4 [Nov 10, 2015, 10:06 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Steam News announces
that Fallout 4 is now
available. They say: "Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of
Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, welcome you to the world of Fallout 4
– their most ambitious game ever, and the next generation of open-world gaming."
Here's the rest of the game's official description:
As the sole survivor of Vault 111, you enter a world destroyed by nuclear war. Every second is a fight for survival, and every choice is yours. Only you can rebuild and determine the fate of the Wasteland. Welcome home.
Key Features:
- Freedom and Liberty!
Do whatever you want in a massive open world with hundreds of locations, characters, and quests. Join multiple factions vying for power or go it alone, the choices are all yours.- You’re S.P.E.C.I.A.L!
Be whoever you want with the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. character system. From a Power Armored soldier to the charismatic smooth talker, you can choose from hundreds of Perks and develop your own playstyle.- Super Deluxe Pixels!
An all-new next generation graphics and lighting engine brings to life the world of Fallout like never before. From the blasted forests of the Commonwealth to the ruins of Boston, every location is packed with dynamic detail.- Violence and V.A.T.S.!
Intense first or third person combat can also be slowed down with the new dynamic Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (V.A.T.S) that lets you choose your attacks and enjoy cinematic carnage.- Collect and Build!
Collect, upgrade, and build thousands of items in the most advanced crafting system ever. Weapons, armor, chemicals, and food are just the beginning - you can even build and manage entire settlements.
Prelim reports from reading some users diving into it (I assume they are telling the truth):
- choices/consequences reduced or diminished (less or no checks for completing quests or conversations via charisma, perception, or intelligence)
- lots of npc quest givers unkillable (bethesda couldn't think of a way for a quest to continue without said npc)
- no consequence to having multiple companion lovers
- lots of Kill and Fetch quests (unable to go non-violent route, less alternate ways to complete them)
- story narrative is predictive and not well written, including some really hammy dialogue
- you can obtain power armor and high level mini-gun in first area of game and you can use it no sweat
- invincible companions
Pros:
- If you want a mindless wasteland shooter with reduced RPG elements, this is the game for you (basically Rage 2.0), i.e. the shooting aspect is less garbage.
- a few sparse side quests are listed as "interesting"
- looks more colorful
Yet another so called masterpiece 'rpg' walking simulator shallow-world. Frankly Bethesda is falling behind the curve and should just make their next Elder Scrolls a Sandbox game without 'quests' or reading. Of course it has good reviews on Steam, that's where all the mindless sandbox games are as Bethesda seems to cater more now to a younger audience who want easier games without choice/consequence (and big booty bounce mods).
As I've said before though, this won't prevent me from buying the game in 2 years where to ME it is worth exactly 5 bucks or less for some mindless FPS Action. An average so-so "rpg."
