Revenge of the noyds thread: Fallout 4

I've heard Fallout New Vegas is better. There was supposedly a lot more effort put into that game. I plan to get that game for cheap in a few more weeks.

PC versions of the Fallouts are better -> sexy character mods.




I bought a bunch of games during the last July 4th sale on Steam for the first time, but haven't had time yet to play them...will start to tho after football season. Steam has their best sale of the year for PC games at Xmas time through Jan 1st...80-90% off a lot of 1.5+ year old games: $1-$5 for what once were $60 games.
You need to have a somewhat decent video card tho to play...a lot of computer makers make it very difficult to upgrade or add a new video card to an existing machine. I just had a gaming rig built for me in July. I'm very interested in how these games will look like in VR in another year or so.

New vegas is awesome.

Final fantasy 15 is pretty awesome as well. And open world

Decided to buy this game since it was like 15 bucks on PSN. I thought Skyrim was one of the most overrated games ever (still ok just not as good as everyone made it out to be) and since it is a Bethesda game I was skeptical. I never played Fallout 3 either.

Holy fuck though this game is awesome. Highly recommended for people who like the open world type game in the post apocalyptic setting. I still prefer Borderlands but this is definitely a good playthrough.

Not into post-apocalyptic settings, but 100% agree on Skyrim. It came out when there weren't any good viking-themed games and the graphics and art were really good.

I've always thought the combat sucked in all of the elder scrolls games and Skryim didn't do anything to improve it.

Elder Scrolls Online has much better combat than Skyrim, and probably Oblivion too, from what little I played it.

Okay, wow. Lots of opinions floating around here, so let me go ahead and set the record straight on a few things:

1) Fallout 4 is a good game. I played about halfway through it and quit. Why? For the same reason I played through about 3/4 of Skyrim and quit...and that reason is because it's a Bethesda game. They always fucking break. On Fallout 4, I died, and when it tried to load my auto-save it said it was corrupt. My only option was to re-load a previous save game from a few hours before. Nope, not gonna play through hours of shit I already did. Skyrim also fucked up on me...like I had 8 quests that glitched out wouldn't let me complete. The map would say to go into a cave...but I'd go into the cave and then the map would say to go right back out of the cave. WTF? It's bullshit. Get your shit together, Bethesda.

2) Dark Souls/Bloodborne is a great series. But Bloodborne > Dark Souls? I disagree. Bloodborne, to me, is a watered-down version of Dark Souls designed for people who prefer a little more button mashing as opposed to disciplined, patience-oriented combat. The level-design, detail, customizability, and combat of Dark Souls is better, IMO. And you've got to love the classic medieval theme of Dark Souls more than the Halloween theme of Bloodborne. But overall, I'm kind of burned out on these games.

3) Final Fantasy has gone downhill since 7 came out. 7 was a good, complete game with almost no weaknesses to it. The story, soundtrack, characters, maps, were all charming and captivating. The materia system was also the best system they've ever come up with in terms of magic. 8 was pretty, but severely lacking in many ways. 9 had good music and scenery, but the story was a little too G-rated compared to 7. It also suffered from ridiculously long loading times for random battles, which more or less ruined the game for me. But all of the FF games have really sucked since 10. I feel that ever since 10, the games have been marketed toward 12 - 16 year old girls.

I bought Skryim right when it came out. I'm sure most glitches are fixed now. However, my Fallout 4 incident happened just last week.
