Nail Rat posted:It was okay. FO4 is just bad. It was the biggest gaming disappointment for me in a long long time. I put hours and hours into FO3 and New Vegas and bought 4 for €70 (!!) just so I could play it. I think I put in three or four hours and was just bored out of my mind. I also couldn't get over how bad the performance was for a ps4 title that looked like a game from 2010

fallout 4 is much better than fallout 3 or new vegas as a game (new vegas is written better because obsidian tho), but it is very much the same thing. they refined what was there instead of changing things up so it feels like they haven't made any progress since skyrim whatsoever. it's not a bad game but it is very dated and that is disappointing tho anyone that thinks fallout 4 doesn't look better than those older games hasn't actually seen them in years because lol yes it does

Nail Rat posted:I'm sure it only accounts for like half the difference at best, but with PS4 and the Bone, publishers need to pay a licensing fee to Sony and MS for each game disc, so there's that I suppose. Overwatch isn't arbitrarily more expensive on console or anything. It's just that the only version on console is the $60 edition with extra skins and items for other Blizzard games. On PC there's a $40 no extras version.

Aphrodite posted:Oops. $250. Japanese consoles have a bit of a premium because to get one from Japan would probably add another 50 bucks in shipping. The guy who sold his japanese wiiu got over 200 probably paid for shipping in the United States so the other guy got a good deal. Wiiu is region locked btw. I dunno what japanese games would be worth playing though.

Snowy posted:She thought it seemed like the games were better on ps now, but maybe I'll just start with ps plus for the online access. They're totally different services. PS Plus allows online play for current-generation games and a freebie or two every month. PS Now allows all-you-can-eat access to PS3 games. It's not *wrong* to not get Plus, but it will diminish the value of many current-gen games if you can't use their online modes.

blackguy32 posted:I actually loved the supernatural stuff from the previous games because it kept me wondering what it was going to be each time. By comparison, I found Uncharted 4's reveals to be really boring. They really did crib from Indiana Jones with that stuff without it being TOO kooky, except for UC3 which was just stupid. The twist in UC1 was pretty awesome and a great change of pace, I thought, but then again I'm one of those weirdos that genuinely enjoyed UC1 and think it still holds up next to 2... overall the story for 1 was tighter (albeit more cliche) than 2, even though 2 basically upped the ante with gameplay and insane setpieces.

Samurai Sanders posted:The weapon crafting system in 4 is my favorite of any kind. In contrast, I'm playing Witcher 3 again right now though and holy poo poo everything about its inventory and crafting everything is awful always. They fixed a million things about the game in patches pre-release but inventory and crafting is apparently hopeless. Apparently they're going to be introducing a bunch of UI fixes and such to Witcher 3 in the next expansion, coming out in a week or so, so it's still possible.

I just paid $200 for a 32GB from Craigslist (with Mario Kart 8 and an extra controller) and I'd been scoping out deals on there for months and hadn't seen one better than that. I feel like even GameStop would give you more than $80 for one.

Samurai Sanders posted:Whoa, are you serious? I guess I should set the game down a bit until that happens, even though starting again I'm way too low level for either of the expansions yet anyway. https://www.vg247.com/2016/05/10/the-witcher-3-blood-wine-hands-on/ There's screenshots posted here, looks like they'll be doing things like splitting up weapons and armor in your inventory, making things a bit more readable, that sort of thing. Whether it actually works in practice, I guess we'll just have to see.

Snowy posted:She thought it seemed like the games were better on ps now, but maybe I'll just start with ps plus for the online access. If you get PS Now make sure you have decent wifi. All of the games are streamed, there's no downloading, so a slow connection will have lots of lag spikes or will just outright kick you out of the game with about 20 seconds warning. I have two roommates and encounter this a lot if they're both in their rooms watching Netflix or whatever. That said, selection is decent. My girlfriend is not a gamer but has found a lot of stuff she likes.

Like a lot of old FPSes are objectively terrible nowadays, but they were good for the time, and there are a lot of poo poo games that come out now that would have been considered incredible twenty years ago, not just for graphics but also gameplay.

I went back to it a few months ago and F3 is definitely worse than you remember. Maybe if you like the D.C area. But ultimately I agree. I think I would hold Fallout 3 a lot more favorably compared to 4 if they had gotten rid of 90 percent of all the subways you are forced to travel through in it.

While it isn't as great as in New Vegas, FO3 had actual options to solve quests that made use of your skills and abilities and dialogue choices that did more than "give me caps." There's like all of one quest in FO4 that does that and it stands out because it is the ONLY ONE that allows you to do that. FO4 massively toned back options to quests that weren't 'shoot the guy" and is worse for it.

Fallout 4 is better at being Far Cry than Fallout 3/New Vegas were at being Far Cry. It's also worse at being Fallout while still not really that good at being Far Cry.
