It's not integral to the series, it's integral to making retards forget Bethesda has no idea how to make fun combat without throwing gimmicks in. It was just the standard CRPG 'aimed attack' mode before.

The combat is supposed to be a lot better. Bethesda brought in id software for guidance.

Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?
Good. Honestly the novelty of explodiness wore off pretty quickly and without that, VATS is boring as gently caress. It's the main reason I gave up on 3.

So it looks like there will be an opportunity to snag FO4 with XBox/PS4 for three hundy on Black Friday.

Probably going to see if I can get myself back into video games for the next couple of weeks when I get home from work and then it might be upgrade time from the 360 in a couple of weeks. Otherwise probably just get it on Steam.

VATS was surprisingly good for when you've got one of those awesome unique melee weapons, you snuck into a room and immediately went VATS mode after it loaded.

They haven't detected you yet if you are quick enough, so you select everyone in the room and get massive criticals, most likely instant death from a big string of a sneak attacks.

Basically like Enter the Dragon but with more machete and flying limbs.

God I loving hope not. I’m so gorram tired of that piece of poo poo 18 year-old game engine being reused ad nauseum....

I’m tired of the lovely animation quality and the lovely mechanics to the gameplay that seems to all be the result of the limitations of that decrepit-rear end game engine being forced into service over and over again with a couple tweaks, a new name, and a claim that it’s “an all new engine” when it blatantly isn’t.

Bethesda’s press conference made me interested in Fallout 4 when I was all set to be pissed off at them reusing Gamebryo AGAIN without fixing the poo poo that makes it suck.
And I DID notice that all their footage very carefully avoided showing me anything that would tell me if they did or didn’t fix it, so I’m suspicious as hell.
I WANT to love Fallout 4. It has so many awesome things going for it....but I swear to god, if they don’t address their game engine problems, I’m never buying another Fallout Scrolls game again.

Fallout 4 ending is on Instagram. While I did not see it, I can only hope it ends with Boston getting nuked again.
