I don't mean to defend FO4 or Bethesda, but falling into the trap of comparing it to Witcher3 is not very fair imo, they're both open world games but that's really where any similarities end, imo. You need to play games for what they are, and judge them for what they are, not compare them to other games that you enjoy, people that do that tend to end up disappointed because of unrealistic expectations. This applies to any kind of media, music, movies, games, books, etc.

I don't think it's a trap. The games are very comparable in scope and complexity. Witcher 3 set a new bar for production values and polish for a game of that scope and to me wins in every regard. FO4 is still fun but no way Bethesda will get away with another one of these, especially not if some more devs take cues from W3 by the time the next TES comes out.

And btw. i disagree that polsih means a game can't be crazy or random. It starts with things like plastic looking low res characters vs. highly detailed, beautiful character models.

Ther's some screenshots of the remake:

Wish they would go a bit further adding detail to the actual level geometry. But looks much improved over the original.

I wonder if the game is still as good as i remember it. SS1 really blew my mind back in the days. Nothing comparable existed back then except for Ultima Underworld.

The base building is not too grindy actualy. But it's not really explained how everything works. You can scrap a ton of stuff in the settlements to get lots of wood and steel: Trees, cars, even whole buildings. Rare materials you can either produce yourself or buy in bulk from traders. For example adhesive can be cooked from tomatoes, corn and mutfruit. So just let your settlers produce some more then what they need for food. Easiest way to have something to trade with for rare materials is to produce extra water.

Also you don't have to find materials for each new settlements from scratch. With the local leader perk you can create supply lines between your setllements so you have access to all your crafting materials from each workbench.

Another thing that helps is to unload your junk to your companion if it gets too heavy while you're questing. You don't have to scrap it afterwards. Just throw it into a workbench to get new materials.

Yea you get basically just thrown into a big sandbox and then you have to figure it out for yourself. I agree with what Angry Joe said in his review. He said something along the lines that despite the game being very enjoyable it's the last time that Bethesda will get away with all the flaws in their formula.

Yea Minos, better wait for some patches. Sounds horrible with those bugs. Didn't have such massive problems on the PC version.

That said FO4 was a bit hard to get into for me aswell (would say it took me 10-15 hours to start feeling it). At first it felt small, bland and a remix of FO3 but it grew on me over time. Ther's an overwhelming amount of content packed in this game. What's important i think to fully enjoy this game is to play the settlement quest line. You're right ther's tons of weapons and crafting materials right from the start but this all is relative when you don't provide only for your character but also your companions and settlers.

As far as loot goes you will often get more excited about finding some rather mundane things then finding super weapons and armor. For example when you find a stash of light bulbs or wonderglue. Or one of the things that i set for myself to look out for is army fatigues and combat armor because i dress up all my settlers as my private army.

Maybe i've played in the wrong map areas so far? I've only done the first main quest, no BOS, Haven't even explored the city yet, only went to diamond city twice and crossed some parts of it on travels to quest markers. The game is actualy a lot bigger then it seems at first. even found a location outside of what looks like the map borders on the pip boy.

Funny enough i'm 76 hours in and didn't even come across another power armor then the one from the intro yet. On the other hand i have like 15 settlements now. Guess Bethesda didn't lie when they said thers things to do for 400 hours.

So i figured out how to get rich from the settlements and i'm not so sure i should be happy. Pretty much takes away the whole management of scarce ressources aspect.

just got this from a Feral ghoul

I'm getting so much lost in the settlement stuff. Have done about a dozen quests outside of it tops. When you think about it the map is really quite small by modern open world standards yet 3 days in and i only have explored maybe 10% of it.

Yea i started building some bases tonight and that's my favourite part of the game so far.

I'm 7 hours in and i'm not feeling it yet. It's like i've already played that game, feels a bit like a remix of FO3, same music, same shag town, kinda the same quests so far. I also think Witcher 3 has spoiled me. I notice a lot how the world and the characters don't feel believable and how rough it is around the edges in comparison.

I got hooked on Paradox strategy games lately. First Europa Universalis IV. Now i play Crusader Kings 2 which is even more fun. Steep learning curve to get into (had to watch couple hours of tutorials before i could even begin without being completely lost) but well worth it. Surprisingly provided me with some of the most hilarious moments that i had in gaming due to the crazy family drama that can happen in this game. For example last night my wife died. I married a new wife and after less then 9 months she gave birth to a cuckoo kid. Had her arrested and killed for high treason. On another occasion i had to conspire to kill my own mother to protect my sons inheritance. Had i died before mom, my brothers line would have inherited her title.

The community in this game is starting to suck the fun out of it for me. Ther's people griefing team members over "not being good enough" like every other game now. It's so annoying. Then thers the patronizing team mates, the self declared team captains, the "i run after every ball like a dog but whine that nobody is defending" types.

Yea servers are sometimes laggy. Just join a different game when it happens. They are still working out the kinks of their server situation.

I'm getting better at this. Have improved my defense play quite a bit by playing unfair 1v4 exhibition matches against AI. Also manage some aerial hits now but the direction is mostly pure luck still.

Quote from Pampers

It is awesome!

Easy to learn, but has a lot of depth to it as well

It's kinda like Trackmania in the sense that its noob friendly but will take hundreds and thousands of hours to master and learn all the little tricks and tactics. I find it super satisfying to get better and pull of some nice moves against other players.

Any mapcorians playing Rocket League? Having a blast with that game. So addicting.

This is one of these games that make me feel like some old guy who doesn't understand the youth. Ther's so much hype around it but i have no connection to it whatsoever. All i know is you're some guy who can use vending machines and do some quick time events.

This looks fun as hell. A lot better then the first impression from the reveal. What a great year for RPG fans. First Witcher 3 now this. My body is ready!
