Fallout 4

[Elite]

It's what Bethesda do best, a woefully out of date game engine, dodgy animation, buggy game play monotonous radiant quests (another settlement needs our help) but addictive games, games you can lose yourself in. for days.

 

Not sure they get away with doing the same with Fallout 5 (or a new Elder Scrolls game once they're finished flogging Skyrim over and over again), it'll need a massive overhaul given the things we're seeing from the likes of CD Projekt Red and Guerilla Games.

Yep. They need to freshen it all up but therein lies a new problem, they could completely fuck it all up.

Having a decent conversation wheel would be a start for Fallout 5.

Well after a few weeks of putting it off and doing side missions I finally finished the main story earlier. Just didn't want it to end so put it off for that reason.

 

Won't probably go back to it now as that's nearly 5 days of my life taken up.

 

Great game, has its flaws but it's addictive as hell.

 

Loved it and will miss playing it.

 

Finished at Level 44 I think and still feel large parts of the world have yet to be discovered but the main story is toast now so time to move onto something else.

The main story is the weakest part and you're probably missing some of the best parts of the game in the exploration and side quests (proper side quests not the find and fetch quests).

Yeah, choice and consequence would help massively. Every decision you made in Fallout 4 seemed to have very little impact on the story.

I think I've done a large amount of them to be fair. I've done the main quests almost as an afterthought in this game.

 

Thought the main story was indeed a bit underwhelming but loved the game all the same. Already getting withdrawal sweats and finished it this afternoon.

There are a few little challenge you can set yourself that you can dip in and out of as and when you get the itch while playing other games but it depends what you enjoy in the game.

 

I tried surviving in the game by never leaving the sanctuary once you get out of the vault (after reading an article about someone who tried the same), it's a dice roll on whether you can entice the small group of bandits north of the vault to come down as far as sanctuary and whether you can find a few specific items in crates to allow you to progress but if you like the trading and building side of the game it's a good way to add some difficulty.

Go again in survival mode (if you haven't already). It's exactly how it should be played.

Fallout 76 announced today alongside a teaser trailer (no gameplay though)

 

Looks set a decade or so later after the bombs hit.

 

No details of what type of game yet but I’m excited anyway. Hopefully it’s Fallout 4’s equivalent of New Vegas.

 

More details being announced at E3 on June 10th.

I'm ready to team up with Dogmeat again. Every open world game should have a dog.

Hopefully it's not an online game

Kotaku sources saying that it is indeed an online survival RPG...

Ah fuck that

I started F4 a few days ago, and since I'm a seasoned Fallout veteran, I went for Survivor Mode right away...

 

 

...and am currently stumbling around the Wasteland with an infection I've had for a few days and no antibiotics in sight.

Finally went back to this game while I wait for Cyberpunk to sort its shit out, it's like returning home. This and FIFA should sort me out until February, when Cyberpunk should be in a better condition. 

 

Hoping to add even more to my 200+ hours on Fallout 4 and finally started the Vault 88 expension pack.

 

Anyone try this? Trying to build a huge vault currently and it's an absolute mindfuck. Couldn't even build the overseers office without coming into problems, before disassembling about an hours work.

 

I fucking love this game.

Bought The DLC's over Chrimbo - it's like a new game. Aye, Vault 88 needs a totally different mindset to all the other settlement builds. I started with a massive atrium pretty much the length of the first main space. Then bolted all the rooms off the side. Fiddly as fuck though like you say. Nuka World was boss as well. Crafted a MIRV two-shot fat man (effectively fires 12 nukes) and annihilated the gangs there. Which was fun.
