chitoryu12 posted:If the game was made as they wanted to (with the budget and time they wanted), I think only the impoverished locals like in Novac, Goodsprings, or Freeside would have had the ramshackle huts or dirty and damaged pre-war buildings. The Strip would have been glittering and perfectly clean, basically pre-war in its opulence. The NCR would have repaired structures and built new ones from adobe, just like back in Shady Sands. Late to reply but that would be a drat cool art direction for a Fallout game in a post-post-apocalyptic setting.

I never actually finished New Vegas, and I've been slowly finishing it lately. Playing it again after 4 is so weird. Just like everyone else, I find it to be a huge downgrade in gameplay, and a huge upgrade in writing. Really not sure why you can't have both. 4 is incredibly shallow in comparison.

I think FO4 has flashes of good writing. Far Harbor, pretty much everything associated with Nick Valentine, and some of the early Diamond City/Piper stuff is good. There's a lot of ideas in FO4 I wish they had explored more, to the extent that I almost wish there was a game of just Nick Valentine doing detective work in the same setting.

Wolfsheim posted:I agree, and I would say a lot of the companion conversations are pretty good. Even Preston has kind of a cool arc of a guy who is so disillusioned with his lovely life he's borderline suicidal and only steps back from the brink because of your example. The trouble is this only comes through in direct conversation and not at all otherwise, so 95% of the time he's just the bog-standard good guy who adds garbage radiant quests to your mission log. There are a lot of neat ideas FO4 just straight up abandons. That includes the settlement system itself, which is a decent idea but is clearly unfinished. It's really frustrating.

Moridin920 posted:Anyway this is gonna sound like a NMA post but you might as well stick a fork in the Fallout IP for now and hope they don't bungle Elder Scrolls by not being able to leave a single red cent on the table even if it means making GBS threads the game up. Far Harbor wasn't that long ago, and was really good. 76 seems like a misstep, but if they were to make more games along the lines of Far Harbor, I think the franchise is fine.

I played for about an hour just now and it seemed really boring. I'm glad I got to try it because I was really curious, but I think I need NPCs and a story to keep me interested, this just isn't for me.

Tempus Thales posted:did you play by yourself or with other players in a group? By myself, but I doubt it'd matter. If it's an online game, I like it to either be competitive like Dota or an RTS, or go all in on sandbox like Eve. This doesn't really do either. I'm not even saying this is bad, I'm just saying I'm pretty confident that this isn't for me.

Is there any collection of spoilers or interesting things Fallout 76 adds to the story of these games? Even with games I intend to purchase, I don't really mind spoilers at all, and I am not buying this until it's discounted by a lot.

As much of a trainwreck as this game is, I think they did really well with the soundtrack. Inon Zur is very talented, and the Copilot cover is great.

Wolfsheim posted:It's kinda weird to see this much of a vitriolic backlash to reviewers calling the broken game bad because man, there have been a lot of lovely broken Fallout games. It kinda comes with the territory. I think FO4 had a lot of lovely design choices, but it kept me occupied for a long time. I even kind of liked the main story, and Nick is one of my favorite RPG companion characters. The good parts of 4 overshadowed the shittier parts--like the fact that base construction was ultimately meaningless, and a lot of gameplay was repetitive. 76 is all of the lovely design choices of 4 with none of the good things. You would think that in a game like this which is centered on bases, they would've added more content to that system and made it more meaningful, but they didn't even bother to do that. I'm glad reviewers are actually acknowledging these flaws, and how soulless this game seems.

It was so disappointing that the Piper intro sequence seems like a completely different and much better game.

It's a little off topic, but the US Senate campaign I'm running is doing a New Vegas themed phone bank tomorrow for the Nevada caucus results. If you're at the intersection of progressive politics and Fallout fandom, consider signing up. Or just click the link and look at the dumb description I wrote.
