If Skyrim was the end of the line, I'd feel it to be a minimum threshold I can deal with. Not Fallout 4. But we may yet be surprised: greed and arrogance do tend lead people down to unexpected roads, not all bad. And you've gotta take sth else into consideration. The case of F4 is not particular...

Feels like prophecy now, hehe, guess it was only logical. Maybe it's a mixture of incompetence, greed, and short-sightedness. There are always people who claim to be experts at what the masses want, but in truth it's arrogance and an underestimation of what people can and are willing to do (you...

My working theory is that, in Fallout 3, Auntie Beth didn't have enough time to ruin the game. Or maybe they still had some competent folks around. Maybe these people refused to bow to Godd Howard, later on. Yeah, it was a good game. I actually played New Vegas first (b/c I couldn't get F3 to...

OP may be right. Ceteris paribus, Bethesda should follow on the same path, luckily responding to some of the criticisms from old fans, but their records shows that they will remain insulated. The huge commercial success may be interpreted by them as their ultimate success in creating Bethesda's...

This is great, in my innocence I never knew that the industry was thus. I'm not surprised, since p(l)aying F4 made me aware of Bethy's manoeuvres. They got me, but it won't happen again. I think that the fans should react... like a massive petition by the communities Bethesda loves to ignore...

It's hard to tell, but this is not entirely implausible. I mean, you've gotta wonder why the game feels unpolished and unfinished in several ways..., sure, money and hype are part of the explanation, but there is something else, that is certain. That part of staff may have left is a good...

-The main character? The intro was beautiful, and what ensued was just... wasted, really, because nothing followed. It's like you're telling a story, and then you go like 'boom!, 200 years, wakes up, gotta find sonny'. That sucks hugely. -Factions. You don't to go all New Vegas style (which I...

As far as Skyrim is concerned, it's plausible, since it is a magical world, and it was magic that animated the skeletons and the old dead norse folks.

To be sure, anything good about it pales in comparison to its overall shitness. 1 - I felt the shooting system to be smoother and more realistic. It is just plain weird to go back to the previous games and see how it plays, it feels a tad unrealistic (never noticed that as I played it in the...

I didn't and don't mind the faults of Skyrim. It was a beautiful, massive world, and was somewhat plausible, in its own logic. The factions are fun (Cicero from Assassin's guild was awesome) and enjoyable to play, though admittedly they could be made more verisimilar and logic. That is the...

Exactly how I feel. And this freedom (whether you call it a RPG, rpg elements or whatever), for me, was what made Fallout special, or at least distinctive.

Anyone could do better than Bethesda did in F4. It's comparable to conversation among people with low cognition or autistic. I guess the people Todd spend his time with in his rehab clinic.

Well, methinks that, regardless of the genre classification, Fallout is a memorable game precisely because its recipe includes RPG elements, among other thingies, to be sure. Once you lose even those elements, no matter how minimal they may be, the game sorts of lose its identity, and I see that...

Ok, somethings cannot be left to chance, those which are essential to the plot. I see your point, and it's fine, I think so too. But, you know, like being a courier in FNV is just a given, I see no point in complaining about this, there are bound to be given elements in even the purest RPG game...

Hello forum, I think it's shit and I don't care about it, in fact I hated it. The videos with instructions are pretty neat (F4 marketing > F4 game, general rule), but the result for me is clear: leveling up, like all else in this terrible experiment called Fallout 4, is irrelevant, not in the...

That's what I've been thinking after experiencing this 'thing' called F4: such a huge commercial success will likely further insulate them from the actual result of their efforts. It just seems that Bethy spent so many time with platitudes and mini-experiments (I d-o-n-'t care about freaking...

The whole game seems just so irrelevant. It is hard to care about anything going on there. I'd say Bethesda is like that 'friend' with great connections, cash, charisma, but little more than an ordinary, even mediocre talent, compared to say, truly talented, but less resourceful Obsidian...

Maybe it is near perfect, if he is measuring it against his sorry standards.

The people got it right: Obsidian really understood what Fallout was about. Say what you want about the clusterffff NV is, it's awesome and it has depth. It may not be as dark as people may have wanted, but it's plausible, I think, except for Caesar's Legion and The Great Khans. They don't make...

Well, Bethesda seems to have spend as much money in marketing/publicity as in experimenting in the wrong way, with irrelevant farming with no consequences. But, hey, the promotional videos are awesome. I had a better time watching to the intro and the skill thingy series than playing this...
