I'm loving Fallout 4, I am. But it's been 7 years since Fallout 3. 7 years! That's twice as long as most AAA games out today (4 times as long as the popular yearly franchises).

For a game that's been in developmnt for such a long time (at least 4 years of actual dev time considering Skyrim released in 2011), it's still very janky and not well polished at all. It has been given a free pass because it's just so much fun and immersive.

Using the same timeline approximations, the next Elder Scrolls game should be due in 2018. However I really think Bethesda need to revamp the game engine by then. It;s showing its age, and Fallout 4 just manages to look "next-gen" compared to fallout 3, but it's not by a milestone at all.

Anyway, back to the wasteland. It won't explore itself afterall!

Creative?! 🤣🤣🤣

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.

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.

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.

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.
