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 realize most of those games came out before a lot of these kids could walk but you'd think if they were such super fans that they accuse reviewers of a conspiracy to bring down the vault boy or whatever they would have gone back to at least dabble in the barely-patched isometric games of yore.

I think it's encouraging we have critics that actually criticize. This scenario reminds me of film critique where you'll have a critically panned film that some audiences will enjoy. Overall thats a good healthy sign this isn't the same industry it was 10 years ago.

Starting to think that maybe between the majority of players who are leaving negative reviews on metacritic and a bunch of review sites that generally lob softball reviews and handwave the general bugginess of Bethesda games, this game might not be good. Wonder if constantly pushing the paid mods front made people turn on Bethesda so their "charming" shortcomings are actually seen as flaws now.

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.

Its kinda fitting that this game is coming out almost exactly a year after Battlefronts 2. Though that might be unfair because I think that game was at least finished?? But I bet there was a similar contingent of "I don't care about all the negative press because swinging a lightsaber is fun you non-fun-having idiots!!" die hard star wars fans getting real angry at every reviewer so it still works.

Oh! So you can get Skyrim physicsed to death in Fallout 4. That explains that incident with the exploding car a couple nights ago where I was well outside the explosion radius but, in retrospect, not outside the physics fling radius of the actual car. Improvements I've seen in 76 that I hope some enterprising modder can backport:
I realize most of that's in Horizon already, but Horizon's rather all of a piece and I prefer what Sim Settlements does with the settlement system. COMRADES posted:Yeah this was insanely dumb the password should have been something constructed out of context clues you notice along the trail. At least. Oh, it is. The individual waystations on the Freedom Trail are all annotated with parts of the password, and the trail itself takes you through enough of the danger zones of downtown Boston that if you haven't done anything Deacon likes his default is "but they did walk the entire Freedom Trail to get here". It's just that the password is also just RAILROAD. Glazius fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Nov 22, 2018 |

I think Gerstmann was a bit too quickly dismissive, though it's clearly not his type of game and he has zero tolerance for bullshit (which 76 has no shortage of).Glazius posted:

Imo the way rdr2 handles things was pretty good. You have bars that need to be filled, each with a core that determines the rate at which bars regenerate. Weapons don't break but they get dirty. You alter things like weight by regularly eating, but being underweight means you have more stamina while overweight gets you more health.

Rinkles posted:Could you elaborate? I realize it's probably not much different but it's psychologically different - getting hungry and thirsty in survival mode was a list of penalties you had to offset. The top level of fullness and hydration in 76 gives you a bonus to HP (food), AP regen (water), and disease resist (both). There's an endurance perk that boosts the bonus. In both cases you're getting weaker as your food and drink meters drop, but it feels better that the top of both meters is presented as a bonus, rather than the first notch down the start of the penalties. Also, non-packaged food will rot, so you can't just do the circuit around Abernathy and be in radstag steaks for the next week. (and it's good that it rots because that's how you get Jet I mean grenades I mean fertilizer)
