So with these streams, have they ever actually crashed? Crashing is my biggest concern. They seem to be playing pretty smoothly from what I've seen but I haven't invested as much time in watching them as some of you..

Wiseau crashed maybe once or twice, as far as I know. Way less than expected from an unpatched Bethesda product, for sure.

Yes, it looks like the hair is vacuum sealed to her head, like if you looked close enough you could see the mold lines.


Is a PC version leaked? I don't get how a streamer could have the complete PC version before unlock, aren't there usually a few files held back?

"You shit on the post. Why."
It doesn't look too bad, nothing ground-breaking but not too bad. It looks a lot like Skyrim with sensible (!) enbseries effects (like for fixing the shadows, sunrays, SSAO and stuff) and some sensible texturing mods applied, probably then not coming with the hefty perfomance hit enbseries causes. I guess for many, that it's not looking a whole lot better than that is kind of a let down in itself.

Hi
Nap Ghost
I pre-ordered FO4 through Amazon about a month ago and I got an email from them today saying they accidentally applied a Prime discount towards the pre-order, but they were going to honor it anyway. So I'm paying 49.99 for it now. Not sure if anyone else saw this.

So watching that HATENEWSPAPERS stream, this game does indeed look bad visually. The lighting, faces, animations, textures, and models are all lousy for a title released in 2015, and it doesn't even have the excuse of 360/PS3 release to fall back on. Quite frankly it's not just technically subpar, it's simply incompetent, particularly in the area of character animation. The mayor's secretary looks like a drat real doll. Actually, real dolls probably have elbows that fit together properly...

They've also failed to address lots of old standing gameplay issues. For instance, the player agrees to help Paul 'deal with' Cooke, which involves shooting him about ten times in the face at point blank range until he finally dies. Paul then immediately turns hostile when you loot a beer out of Cooke's fridge because uhhh, stealing?

:laffo:

Yeah, I agree. The art direction is at least decent this time around, even if it's biting on Borderlands and Rage pretty hard, it means more colors and less plain architecture. The shooting also looks pretty good for an open world game. I really wish that Bethesda didn't get a free pass on things like buggy AI, poo poo writing, etc., but this is at least an improvement over FO3, and will be a pretty decent ~50 hour or so action RPG.

AI is usually fine though? like baddies run at you and you shoot them in the face. it's like all rpgs.

I didn't play previous Fallouts (I hear from many that I did myself a serious injustice). I also heard that Fallout 3 no longer runs on Windows 8.

I more meant companion and NPC AI. For example, the dog's complete inability to deal with gaps or heights. It's odd that when you make said dog one of the centerpieces of your pre-release advertising that its behavior wouldn't be airtight. Although enemy AI (when not faced with a straightforward task like facing the player and executing attacks) tends to break pretty easily.

I apologize deeply for posting something blandly critical of Bethesda (and overall optimistic about the game in general), however, and I am prepared to be called autistic for the next 4 to 5 pages.

If your idea of a fulfilling game is wandering around interesting setpieces, shooting potato-headed dudes with all manner of guns, stealing literally everything that isn't nailed down, and drinking out of toilets, then yes this will be a fulfilling game for you and you don't need to know jack poo poo about any of the previous games.

Some small subset of people will play it for 400 hours, arguing they constantly find new enough things to keep them interested. Others still will play the game for <30 hours and get bored. In the middle, most users will play out the campaign and never look at it again, just like every other game in the series (or game generally).

It all depends on how invested you are in the idea of post-apoc sandboxes, collecting trash from random shacks and shooting the same monsters over and over.

Ohhh yea! Companion AI is usaully awful but they've always been like loot donkeys for me to haul things in. Probably just gonna cheat and get a mod to give me 2x inventory space or somethings so i can solo.

To me it's that so many games exist I don't need open world games to have things like strong stories. I can play different games for that. And the AI isn't really doing any more or less than I want it to do. So it doesn't harm the gameplay to me.

Like I don't know I'd even like the game anymore if it had some great story because It'd ruin the idea I can just run off for 30 hours in the middle of it to go do open world crap and then come back to it all out of order. The stories of past fallout games were all good enough to set up a premise and a last battle and the details of the middle part are just kinda there. The AI seems like the standard "run at you" stuff that is bad for a game that was a shooter but is fine for an RPG.
