For me, personally, quality over quantity is far more important.

I find Bethseda games, although very fun and enjoyable, to focus a lot more on quantity in regards to where they put their resources.

In an RPG game, I care much more about the story, characters, the interaction and choices you can make that affect other aspects of how the game plays.

I would have gladly traded the ability to pick up plates/forks and other useless junk in previous elder scrolls/fallouts if they instead had smarter AI, better choices and interactivity between npc's and the player, better animation quality, more "unique" dungeons that weren't just copy and pasted.

Give me a town of fewer npc's but each are interactable with their own storyline or at least some dialogue that gives them character and flavor instead of "nameless guard" that says the same 2-3 lines as all the other ones.

At least they are trying to make all the loot "junk" matter in fallout 4 with the crafting aspect, I just hope it works out and it's not an area that falls short.

Beth games aren't really about the story and whatnot. They're about the world, and becoming a part of it. That's the appeal to many. Elaborate quest lines are better explored in other franchises.

Remember that they were limited to just 512 mb. Only so much you could do even if they were to remove the tons of interactable objects.

I don't think it looks very good. Definitely not on the level or Witcher 3/Battlefront. It won't stop me from enjoying the game. I'll say I'm pretty confident I'll be able to play this at 1440p/60+fps and that makes me happy. The inevitable mods will make it look better as well. But from what we've seen so far, it does not look great. 10 mo' days!!!

Loved FO3 on 360, so a higher res version with a new story and world makes it a day one for me, regardless of the perceived lack in leap of tech. To say I'm excited is an understatement.

New Vegas looked like shit on PS3 so judging from the screenshots posted FO4 is a huge jump up, especially in AA and general lack of aliasing from the large resolution bump. If it sticks to 30 fps 90% of the time console owners should be content. If performance is bad with the graphics on display I won't be impressed.

I doubt it's gonna touch most exclusive review threads
Click to expand...

IDK I think its gonna get pretty ugly because I think a few sites might bash it a little hard. Could be off on that as reviewers love Bethesda and as excited as I am for the game I can already see a few things reviewers could go negative on.

Overall I expect mostly positive to glowing reviews but a couple maybe 7's or something

Did Bethesda ever officially apologise for that shit show? Or did they just blame the architecture and pray PS3 owners would just forget by the time their next release rolled around?
Click to expand...

The PS3 has 256 MB of usable system memory. Considering the scope and engine of the game, which originally was meant to run on 360s with 512 MB of unified memory, it's limited what you are able to do to make the game perform better when memory constrained. Bethesda can't perform miracles.

Since both consoles this time have 8 GB of unified memory, this won't be an issue this time.

Why? I think people want his game to be good. There is no "Fallout hate force" on GAF. At least I don't think so. People in this thread just get their feelings hurt too quickly when the graphics are discussed.

edit: Currently an Uncharted 3 situation is more likely.

Yup basically this was a simple "this doesn't look as good as i hoped but I'll still play" thread minus shitposts here and there(like every thread ever) buy apparently not liking graphics=dont buy,shitposting trolls graphics whores etc

About 100 people here said something like this:
"I don't care about the graphics, FO4 will be a great game and I will spend 100+ hours playing it."

WTF? How the hell do you know that it will be a good game? We didn't see meaningful gameplay yet. Maybe FO4 will be utter garbage (unlikely but possible).

That's par for the course, and typically balances out with all the "10/10 literally the best PC game ever made" receptions.

Because it is made by the same company who has put out the same game since Morrowind. We know exactly what the game will be like.

Ok so why did they lie and tell everyone the game would run fine on PS3 pre-release?

Due to compression issues these two new shots don't look.....too good.

I found these on Reddit:

It is also a shame that some people seem to be suffering from the Rick McCallum syndrome. Everything is great, everything is awesome, no criticism necessary, then Phantom Menace happens.

Basically the game would have to be unplayable or changed to another game for me not to like it. I know what I'm going to get, even if the story is crap, it's about the exploration of the world. Whether it is my fav of their games remains to be seen.

I appreciate the person isn't standing rigidly mid-dialogue.

But yeah, it isn't a looker. I don't find the second screenshot as bad, though.
Click to expand...

Yeah but as we can see by Shinobi's shots and the earlier leaked shots, compression is a bitch for sure.

I didn't read much of the new info, except for that weapons don't
need to be repaired anymore apparently.

What do we think about that? I am not sure if i'm actually minding that or not.

they should clean up those loose planks in their hideout, someone could trip and really hurt themselves
Click to expand...

That always bugs me in these games. You have people gathered and living in a building but they don't even bother cleaning it up. I mean maybe they are not going to repair fallen down walls and ceilings but it would take hardly any effort at all to pick up loose junk and wood on the damn floor. It would be like the first thing I would do if I was staying there.

The review thread isn't going to be up until around the time the game is out anyway

In which case I mean... why would you be there... and not on your system... playing Fallout 4? I mean, I know the old adage "We like talking about games more than playing them", but you won't see me in these threads for radioactive dust come the 10th.

I'll do both. I don't play very many games, especially at launch, so it is rare that I actually get to both participate and read a thread about a game that launches that I like. I'll play, do some reading, maybe add my own impressions, go back to playing, rinse and repeat.

Still debating if I should wait a few months to play it, so at least some of the bugs are fixed...
