Don takes a look at the numerous issues that are specific to the PC version of Fallout 4, and why he thinks that means Fallout 4 isn't in an acceptable state on PC.
Fallout 4 on Switch 2 offers 30fps, 40fps, and 60fps modes, with graphics settings differing from PS4 and PS5 versions.
Following Fallout 4's anniversary update, Nexus Mods have assebled an Anniversary Collection of existing mods designed to offer a free refresh as an alternative
A decade on from its Game of the Year-winning triumph, Todd Howard reminisces on how Fallout 4 changed Bethesda Game Studios, its TV show adaptation and playtesting The Elder Scrolls 6.
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.
Bethesda games are usually released in unacceptable states on all platforms, it's a shame that it hasn't affected their sales.
So I'm somehow ended up with the best version I guess. Only two bugs have been present on my now 80 hour playtime. One of them is a know real issue, the Kidnapping at Greentop nursery. Which is real easy to bypass on PC.
Don't play on pc. Solved.
Very well thoughtout article. Thanks. I already passed on day 1 for obvious reasons, but this seems like it'll be a late 2016 purchase for me.
I did't see it in the article, but xfire and sli is currently broken too ... very poor sgowing indeed.
I'm roughly 12 hours into the game and haven't experienced any problems yet besides a texture glitch. All I had to do was reload the game and everything was solved.
Compared to most multi-plat PC launches this game seems to actually be in relatively good shape.
