So I've been following this thread and am seeking clarification. Am I understanding this correctly, that the way this game is made- in order for them to fix issues it will always require these obnoxiously large updates? And sooo, I mean, that's not sustainable is it?

No, they just made the game like they normally do, all patches are the same deployment on consoles / pc so theyre structure it to download the same data im just kidding they royally hosed up and just have no idea what theyre doing

And sooo, I mean, that's not sustainable is it? Lots of games in recent years use the system. It was noticeable and dumb in the era of 6-10GB games, but it's so much worse with 20-30-40-and up games.

Fargin Icehole posted:So is this like, the Metal Gear Survive of Fallout? Metal Gear Survive added more base building elements, it didn't take them away instead. I will say for all it's faults some of the no-npcs quests weren't bad. Like the Free-States/Firebreather stuff was decent. Also the map design overall was neat there are multiple distinctive areas just not too much to really do in them.

Trying to remember, could you be interrupted while engaging in a conversation in Fallout 4? For sure you couldn't in Fallout 3, it was like Oblivion, everything stood still to carry the conversation. Im just trying to think of why they didn't add a single human NPC.

Given there are (Robot) NPCs, including wandering ones etc etc it's pretty clear it was a design decision to make the wasteland more of an actual wasteland, rather than emerging from the vault and finding The Hub/Vault City/Rivet City/New Vegas/Diamond City already well established.

Siljmonster posted:if you or anyone you know bought the helmet version of this game please post the helmet i need to see its quality My coworker did (He got it on Walmart.com for $120 somehow) and brought it in - I wore it for a minute. It's surprisingly good quality, but the voice-changer is comparable to a McDonalds Happy Meal toy. Here's him wearing it (I got his permission to post this)  For what it's worth, he hasn't even installed it, let alone opened the game - he bought it exclusively for the helmet. His first Fallout game was 4. Otacon fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Nov 26, 2018 |

You can probably find a couple dozen videos of companions trying to have their affinity conversations when suddenly a wandering batch of raiders shows up. Or pinning Preston in the middle of the Sanctuary river to have a long conversation about the future of the Minutemen until he takes an overwhelming amount of rads and gets temporarily disabled.

Also, the AI packages they use for daily routines would likely choke the entire game to death by themselves if you had enough people in enough different locations all loading them in at once. Even the NPCs they do have, Grahm and Rose for example, lack any sort of real day/night cycle routines or actual conversation options to reduce their footprint as small as possible. They likely didn't want to clean up their AI enough to make it work for a one-off multiplayer spinoff when it already works well enough to pass in their single player titles, and it's not hard to come up with a story rationalization for it. I do like that they didn't just throw the robots in and say 'Automation!' but actually put a fair amount of detail into the civil strife boiling over in the final months before the Great War, and a great deal of the disasters that have befallen WV in the aftermath have been more direct results of pollution and callous disregard by pre-war mindsets. Even Charleston wasn't that bad off and intact after the initial War, and it was raiders after the fact blowing the Summersville dam that actually destroyed the place. They put WORK into the details this time around, real serious work. Rose's quests and character are a lot of fun, the Mistress of Mysteries stuff is Silver Shroud quality, there's a lot more than just Wacky Skeleton Poses! going on this time around with the environmental stuff they love so much.

Yeah, I think it was Gerstman (I know it was a Giant Bomb guy) who said they were getting wary of activating any sort of quest item or dialogue because you could just not have it register, or because of the "soft" conversational system, you could get nudged out of a dialogue or full-stop have another character interrupt the conversation with their forced dialogue for you.

DoctorGonzo posted:What is the best tear down of the game so far? If you want a nice short tear down you can't get better than this quote:Gerstmann’s exact quote from yesterday’s Bombcast was, “No one on staff wants to play anymore of this videogame [Fallout 76]. I’m not going to subject myself to another 20-30 hours of this loving mess to just put a number on it. My number is ‘Don’t play this game’.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9l_MpOv5kI

And sooo, I mean, that's not sustainable is it? I don't know how consoles work but the way Steam works is that if a file changes you download the entire file over again. They stuff their entire game into ESM and ESP files basically. So if they change one tiny thing, you download the whole file over again.

Nah Steam supports delta patching. It's just another problem with using systems that were designed decades ago without consideration for things like that. It may also just a case of Bethesda being too lazy to create deltas, IDK I don't really remember how their formats work.

Delta patching was all over the place in the 90's. So I'd say you can't blame the old systems - these systems are new sloppy designs.
