Bethesda & Fallout 4

Bethesda, 2015: *Releases Fallout 4*

majority of Fans: "Well, it's definitely not Game Of The Year, and its riddled with issues, but the core game is actually quite fun, so yeah...Could be worse."

Bethesda:
>Releases Mixed bag of DLC that players are still conflicted on
>releases 'Game of the year' Fallout 4 digital bundle, even though GOTY in 2015 was Witcher 3...Bethesda , seriously, WTF?
> adds Creation Club with its 'paid mods' and an in-game currency.

Fallout 4 was great... right up until you saw through the glamour and shiny bits. Then it was mediocre at best, and a timesink. 76 is Fallout 4 lite.

@raysam363 definitely, if you werent hooked by the gunplay, or the customization (which i looooved, I still enjoy finding scrap and modding stuff, easily amused i guess.), and especially if you disliked the settlement stuff, then im sure the game looked extremely hollow.

@HeWhoLaughs I got into settlement building and customizing the guns, but eventually I thought about it. I spent more time doing nothing than I did playing a game. The game itself is quite hollow, and railroading you into the boyscout/girlscout role was annoying.

@raysam363 oh yeah though i personally love the game i will gladly admit the game lacked huge things like a focus, the search for shaun failed because it didnt evolve to anything all that interesting, in comparison to 3 and NV, where 3 became more about Project purity which reasonably guided the game (and 3 dog ofc) , and NV ofcourse gave you that glorious moral dilemma the whole game seems based around.......oh and the dialogue system sucks aaaaasssssssssssss.

@HeWhoLaughs The dialogue system was: yes, sarcastic yes, rude yes, no (until you said yes later). In 3 you felt like you were a part of the world, and opening the vault the first time was incredible. New Vegas you were on a mission which you learned later wasn't so black and white. In 4 you had four factions that had no impact until the endgame. Even then, the "evil" institute was just a scapegoat for the failed government.

@raysam363 BUUUT one thing you cant deny is that in the very end of the main quest , Shaun was written well, right at the end, I honestly got hit with the feels when if you defy the Institute, he just hits you with that whole "how could you do this to me...i thought i could trust you, apparently not, this is your doing." spiel he says, his final few moments you interact with him clearly showed a different Fallout 4, one that could have felt more impact full. also, Nick Valentine is just plain awesome, i love dressing up as the Shroud , or any old coat, getting a detectivey hat and a revolver, and rocking around with nick like some kinda grizzled dectective duo, takin down scum

@HeWhoLaughs I honestly felt nothing towards Shaun, either joining or betraying. I guess after the slog, it felt empty. Maybe if they spent time on the story, I would have cared a bit more. At that point I just decided to see how much I could abuse the game systems.
