So far Fallout Gaf has been really great in here and we have been extremely patient by answering the same questions over and over. Just please don't be bringing major story spoilers in here marked or unmarked.

Pretty much sums up recent sequels in the industry, sadly
Well it's not exactly a safe zone sort of speak but the people in here are content with discussing the lore, the things they are looking forward to, etc. So yeah, not a lot of negativity in here. But that also means it's not quite as popular right now.
I assume its the bit from E3 where he comes from the ground hatch or something?
The whole thing looked like power armor tutorial even back then
Legit question for anyone that has seen early videos. Do you find the dog easily, like is it scripted / part of the early introduction
I need mah dog man.
TBH, fans that came into FO3 due to Bethesda, or those that prefer it to NV will find plenty to enjoy in FO4.

People should be free to talk about the technical shortcomings and what-not at length but I really hope it's relegated to a separate thread to keep whining to a minimum.
Not scripted, but what I can tell it's next to impossible to miss doge. It's super early into game.
Again, you werent rude. And i liked teading that information. My feelsbadman comment should have been a clue i wasnt upset
Also the little conversion video from the othet thread if you want to judge for yourself if / how butchered it is or isnt. Low volume so crank those speakers

Very light spoilers, seems to be just a random side quest
The video makes me feel optimistic since the dialogue systems seems to be okay at least!
Also, I agree that the other thread is a mess. I don't mind different opinions but the shit posting is pretty strong imo. I mean you see posters saying things like "we are discussing the negative points, it's valid criticism" which is perfectly fine and then after three pages you see the exact same posters shit posting hard.
Yes.
As soon as you leave the vault, walk around the immediate area until you see a Rocket symbol on your HUD. Dog is waiting for you there.
I disagree. GTA V has Tennis, yay. I play GTA to play Tennis.
VATS stopping time too. It is now just slowed down.
You can also only have one companion whereas it was 2 in NV
Whether you see that a positive or negative I guess depends.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Man, it does look rough. I think it's pretty obvious that this is/was a last gen title that got a fresh coat of paint for the new consoles.
tbqh I don't really care that it doesn't have next gen quality graphics. I sunk so many hours into Oblivion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas strangely Skyrim didn't click with me. I hope Fallout 4 clicks with me. I need a new game to sink hours upon hours into.

Real Time Settler
People who think this is just 'Tower Defense' needed to try this mod out. Its much more Settlement Manager with some defense aspects thrown in. Added a helluva lot more roleplaying value to the game, but it stretched the scripting engine to the absolute limit.

Relative to the context of the visuals only being 'slightly improved', yes.
A leopard doesn't change its spots
Bethesda games will have jank animations until the end of time
Good. I need my dog buddy simulator. Gives me feels ;_; I actually never found dogmeat in FO3. Is that weird? Like was it super obvious and I just missed him? The only companion I remember using in FO3 was the super mutant dude. I dont think I used any companion in New Vegas if thats even possible.
Also, real talk, Fable 2 is one of my favorite games ever...because of the dog.
I love dogs

Games like this make me wish demos were still a thing.
I'm on your side in the TES defense force, but GTO is still huge
I think most people who are interested in the series and even those who are on the fence will still be able to appreciate what it's trying to do once they actually you know.... play it. Themselves. When they buy it. Which they all will.
But now is not the time for reason. Now is the time for bold assertions on the culmination of millions upon millions of dollars and half a decade worth of work based on videos taken from a potato.

I totally agree. I was going to PM a mod to see if I could open a thread so that all Gaf members who want to discuss all the technical disappointments and spoilers would get closed or not or if it would be allowed but I decided against it. I wouldn't mind creating a thread but I wouldn't stick around for the it.
I feel that there should be a thread for game performance and technical issues, and one for spoilers so that every other thread wouldn't get shat on by those topics.
The sound of that minigun makes me moist. Much improved.
It would be exceedingly hard to make a demo of this game.
That thread exists and its the 20min video thread
The new sound of the laser rifle is also really nice. I found it somewhat grating in FO3/NV.

The hype got to me to and I finally went back to the NV copy I had for 360 for months. This actually made me appreciate the slimed down dialogue people are complaining about; after a while I stopped giving a fuck what they said and would just skip most of it. People who are complaining about graphics need to go back to the fallouts on console and get a good reality check.
I am going to love it as long as we don't have the crazy loading screens or combat clunkiness from last gen.

Hmmm... We'll have to see about VATS I guess. It's a balancing issue, but I can see RPG "traditionalists" not liking it.
Companions have always been a bit of a mess, so maybe this is for the better. Still, a bit of another downgrade. Especially when the companion animations haven't improved one bit.
This is not new. In Fallout 3 there were a number of the super huge giant mutants (whatever they're called) but one of them (and likely the first you'll see but not necessarily) was spawned in a very structured, scripted way in the main story missions.
Naw he was really easy to miss. I don't think I even went to where you get him until like my third playthrough. And the only reason I got him then was because I needed him to find where the hell Firelance fell.

CLOTH PHYSICS? YES!
I know it's common in other games these days but I was almost certain this game wouldn't have them like most past Bethseda games.
That's a nice surprise, I really hope they have a good selection of dusters and other jackets/coats that make use of them (maybe some cloaks too..., be a vampire of the wasteland lol).

Not sure if missing doge is weird in FO3, I never went looking for companions in FO3.
Like Machina said, FO4 doge is located
@ Red Rocket station that seems to be very near Vault location and early into game
I'm on your side in the TES defense force, but GTO is still huge
I basically meant on GAF but fair enough. GTO is a weird beast though you have to admit.
I feel the same way.
I agree with a lot of the criticisms levied against Skyrim. The combat is terrible, the random dungeons get repetitive, the vanilla UI is a war crime, the exploration relies too much on waypoints and map markers which makes it feel artificial, and in general it feels like Bethesda "consolized" the hell out of the game. Despite that, Skyrim still provides a kind of role playing simulation and sandbox you can't get in any other modern game, at least any game with its production values and especially on consoles. Of all the major first person games being made these days Fallout and Elder Scrolls are the only ones that fully feel like immersive sims except maybe Dishonored and Deus Ex HR. In the AAA space Bethesda get's the "you can do anything" in a way the other games just don't.
Fallout 4 looks like it's going to be more "streamlined" and a little more like an action game. There will probably be big things about it I won't like, but I'm just hoping it maintains that unique sandbox feel. I want to be able to have various systems smash together in unexpected ways, find unexpected solutions to problems, and in general just have a bunch of emergent gameplay come about.
At least I see Bethesda took some input from id and MachineGames for how to make a first person shooter. I just hope that in the future it takes more input on improving its games' flaws.
I missed him too. I also missed edi-e in New vegas too lol.

Lore? Youtube ShoddyCast. It's on season three and covers the lore and past events really well.
I think it's called Storyteller made by ShoddyCast.

Watched the videos, and it looks pretty good to me. The voiced main character is a big improvement in my book, also the brighter atmosphere (couldn't stand the endless green/brown soup that was Fallout 3). Not a super graphically impressive game but it does look fun to play. I'm not even a particular fan of the series but I'm excited to play this in a few days!

Okay guys, help me out.
I can either go PC or Xbox One for this game. I've run the tests and from what I can tell my PC meets the minimum requirements but falls short on the CPU and GPU side for recommended. I have a GTX 660 1.5 gigs, think that'd be enough to decently run the game? I have no problem capping it to 30 fps, I just hope the result feels better than a capped 30 usually does on PC.
Or I could go Xbone, not worry about anything and buy the PC version once I've upgraded.

I'm not a PC person at all. I'll say just drop the 60$ or whatever deal you have on a XBone version and save your self the headache.
Unless you really want the mods early next year than go with that. It's all about you and what you want long term.

Holy shit the enemy animations look exactly the same. Janky and robotic as fuck. They even still slide around to face you. LOL.
I ain't even mad tho. I just find it hilarious.
