GamesAsylum: "Thanks to a sizeable marketing budget – not to mention the runaway, and surprise, success of Fallout Shelter – it’s highly likely that Fallout 4 will attract many franchise newcomers. Fallout greenhorns are arguably going to get the most out of this long awaited adventure as there’s an unshakeable sense of overfamiliarity"
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.
Fallout 4 is undeniably a very good game and I don't disagree with your review, but I have to agree with specific complaints people have with it thus far. The main issue I have with Fallout 4 is its engine, which just isn't up to today's standards.
Bethesda really played it safe this time and despite making several much needed improvements, it almost feels old-school in its design. They really have to step their game up for the next Elder Scrolls as they simply cannot continue to develop games with this mindset. However, I have spent many, many hours with this game so far and although I find myself more or less scrutinising it at times, it's one of the most addictive and entertaining role-playing games I've played this year in addition to Bloodborne and The Witcher 3
Could you imagine how much better Fallout 4 would be with The Witcher 3's lengthy and engrossing side-quests?!
