I'm afraid to play Fallout 4

Polygon: Don't get me wrong, I'm going to play Fallout 4.

I've been waiting for the game since I finished Fallout 3 in 2009, though I've returned to it repeatedly over the years. I even played through the game a second time on PC, dealing with Games For Windows in an attempt to chase some of that initial satisfaction.

Crashbandicoot773854d ago

This game is going to be so epic!!!

ARESWARLORD3854d ago

Could possibly be the game of the year

robtion3854d ago

True. Fallout 4 is the only game left in 2015 that can possibly beat Bloodborne for GOTY but to be honest I don't think it can do it. Especially if the Bloodborne expansion is as good as the main game.

Mariusmssj3854d ago

I think the battle for GOTY is now between Fallout 4, Witcher 3 and possibly bloodborne

ArchangelMike3854d ago

It'll have to have that magic sauce to beat Witcher 3, which has already won Joystics GOTY.

boodi3854d ago

@robtion:
only game left that can beat bloodborne..
not sure about this sentence....

PeaSFor3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

ArchangelMike, not sure i would put Witcher3 as a GOTY, sure the world was lovely,... but the whole combat gameplay is straight up GARBAGE.

DeToX4203853d ago (Edited 3853d ago )

@robtion
That's funny fallout 4 could be the worst Bethesda game ever and it will still crush bloodborne which was fun but just more dark souls with different skin.
By the way there were other games that would have beat bloodborne anyway like witcher 3 among others.

Really Polygon ? Afraid to play a video game ? What are you 7 ? Grow up with this click bait whiny worried headlines.

TacticAce3854d ago

I'm afraid that reviewers are going to give it good ratings just because its "Fallout 4" I would like to have an honest review from someone on monday.

starrman19853854d ago

Those good ratings you'll see will be honest.

TacticAce3854d ago

And how do you know? Your comment already sounds biased... And I bet a lot of places will give it game of the year just off of hype.

Chaosdreams3853d ago

@Tactic

Isn't your own opinion on stamina's opinion, biased?

I kid, I kid.

PeaSFor3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

oh dont worry, you will see plenty of clickbait "reviews" rating the game with low scores on purpose and will see garbage reviews coated with a thick layer of sensationalism all over n4g.

im gonna play the game myself and i dont trust reviews as much than i used to.(the only reviews/opinions i RESPECT is from the peoples at GameTrailers and Jim Sterling.)

starrman19853854d ago

I guess I am biased, but I have put hundreds of hours into:

Morrowind
Oblivion
Fallout 3
Skyrim

And they have all been amazing games so It's fairly safe to say that Fallout 4 will follow suit.

You might not like the games, but the reviews will be honest!

bananaboats3853d ago

im sure a good majority will be honest reviews and still have high scores, then again you'll have the occasional low score. best bet is to just watch twitch and judge it for yourself instead of listening to some journalist trying to get clicks.

I'm afraid that once again a Bethesda game will leave me hopelessly addicted.

Irishguy953854d ago

I'm afraid that once again a Bethesda game will leave me hopelessly disappointed

ironcrow23863854d ago

Bearing in mind this is just my opinion; skyrim...probably the greatest RPG ever made, oblivion and morrowind were simply incredible..the fallout games; though nothing compared to the elder scrolls series is highly addictive and your saying your disappointed in all Bethesdas games?? And people think I've got a screw loose 😂😂

Irishguy953854d ago

I liked morrowind, oblivion was a bit of a let down. Skyrim was a boring 'RPG'(adventure game more like) with abysmal everything

DeToX4203853d ago

Then please don't play it you don't deserve it.

Dynasty20213854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Fallout 3 + mods on PC = different game.

NV + mods on PC = different game.

Skyrim + mods on PC = different game.

I see no reason why Fallout 4 will be any different.

Fallout 4 + mods on consoles = new skins...and that's it, because consoles cant run script extenders or manage mod loading orders via 3rd party software required for new missions, new animations, new items and interaction etc.

bananaboats3853d ago

let wait till the mods are actually released to see what the consoles are capable of. Im sure a few years ago people were saying mods can never run on consoles right.

Tctczach3854d ago

There have been some weird opinion pieces about fallout 4 lately.

Todd Howard on 10 years of Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls 6: 'We needed a creative reset'

They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.

-Foxtrot196d ago

Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.

mastershredder196d ago

So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.

lukasmain196d ago

I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
