This shit is so overplayed. Buggy "messes"? I bought Morrowind on Xbox, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim on 360 and while they obviously have a bug here or there, I've never encountered anything hugely detrimental to the experience. No major performance problems, no gamebreaking glitches, etc.

They had some bad problems with Skyrim on PS3, and they deserve scrutiny for that, but they've delivered well enough on everything else. Nothing even comes close to the "broken" hyperbole bullshit spewed by some.

Maybe for you, but lots of people had bugs with those games since bugs tend to randomly happen, including severe ones that can ruin their progress!!!

Yeah, better wait for dinner

Indeed!
Perhaps the games will be fixed by then.

Seriously though, I'd recommend Battlefront. You wouldn't want to miss the first days community for multiplayer game like that. And you won't miss a thing if you hold on playing a single player game like Fallout 4. It'll do more good than harm, in fact, as the game will be more patched the longer you wait.

Personally, I'd go with Battlefront. Get to get in on the day one hype, and play when the multiplayer fanbase is at its peak.

Fallout 4 will likely only get better as time goes on, and there will likely be a GOTY/Complete edition released at some point.

 

[impact]

Tough to say. I mean...I guess if you want something single-player, get Fallout 4. If you need something to play onlin, get Battlefront.


This could honestly describe DICE lately as well.

Didn't say it couldnt.

DICE is bad, but not 0fps bad. Betashed really outdid themselves on Skyrim. Yea I played BF4 on PS4, and yea it's so much better made than Fallout or Skyrim performance/bugginess on console.

You didn't mention your platform, but you can use this code on GMG for 23% off Battlefront PC.

Fallout 4 is likely to be the GOTY.

battlefront will be just another in a long line of star wars games.

the choice here is clear.

 

[DOWN]

Bethesda's never done wrong.

DICE has.

Skyrim PS3 was a big scandal before BF4. Take your pick, but both honestly should be good.

 

[Nesther]

Fallout 4 is likely to be the GOTY.

battlefront will be just another in a long line of star wars games.

the choice here is clear.

Doubt it. This year is filled with heavy hitters. I don't think there will be a "likely winner".

 

[njean777]

personally if you care about MP I would wait for Battlefront at least 2-3 weeks so they can fix all the server problems and such. Fallout 4 on the other hand will most likely have bugs, but you should at least be able to play it without any major bugs stopping you. I personally am getting Fallout 4 first and am going to wait a couple of weeks before buying Battlefront.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Both will release broken

Theres your answer.

The SW multiplayer is more likely to be broken though at launch.

 

[Daunt]

FO4
Bethesda's track record is a lot stronger than EA.

Star Wars: BF
40 player console-sized battles and with DICE at the helm to, yeah no, go with Fallout.

 

[magnumpy]

Doubt it. This year is filled with heavy hitters. I don't think there will be a "likely winner".

star wars games have been around since the 1970s. of course it's owned by disney now. that's actually an argument in its favor. never bet against disney.

OTOH FO4 is hotly anticipated. if we were just talking about what will be the better game, I would put FO4 as the obvious winner. but we're not, we're talking about which will be the most successful game; it's disney vs. bethesda.

 

[Tagyhag]

Wait 2-3 days and see which one is less broken by launch.
