Bethesda game threads are special. Like watching a trainwreck happen, but amusing.

My prediction is Fallout 4 will be 'okay'.

It's not supposed to be shown to the public is it?

I recall someone from Bethesda saying the Fallout 4 demo will be for attendees only.
But I reckon what was meant with that was that they're not going to stream the event live. I'd be surprised if it wasn't released on youtube after QuakeCon.

Who wants some waffles?

Powder Gangers are pretty insignificant, they only:

Attack Goodsprings
Took over NCRCF
Established camps all down the I-15, murdered caravans and disrupted trade
Disrupted work at Quarry Junction, allowing Deathclaws to nest there
Took over Primm
Took over Vault 19
Were involved in what happened to Nipton

I love how there's always someone new who can't comprehend the fun it is laughing along with Creme-of-plenty or the next Dongicus because "we're all unjustly hating on a surefire perfect game, Fallout 4".

It's funnier to see people losing their collective shits when you dare to bring up something negative about the gaming perfection that was New Vegas or ye olde Elder Scroll titles.

Well that's usually because most of the time when someone brings up something negative about them it's either something really trivial or else it's something they're just digging for or making up to get a rise out of people, which is pretty stupid.

Look, we all know that Brotherhood of Steel was truly the best game and that is why it is so far secluded from the rest of the Fallout series in a trash bin.

2 and 3 were okay third-person shooters but the RPG parts in all of them were pretty underwhelming.

That reminds me, did New Vegas have anything resembling the mothershitting fuckawesomeness of Liberty Prime, the giant robot that you watch blow things up for you and that you can't interact with in any way whatsoever due to the stinky trash engine? Checkmate. :magical: :allears: :dukedog:

Nah they actually read Anne Rice's books, which is why you can't find them in Fallout 3 due to copyright reasons

No but you perform a similar massacre if you side with the Legion, and by yourself even! :hitler:

But it didn't have a giant robot that had trouble throwing things at 10 enemies shooting at you so it's a billion times worse.

Ah yes, the deep and complex RPG elements of the first game, which means 3 more useless skills and making combat horrendous.

2 and 3 were more like Space Gears of War with romance subplots and a lot of what could have made the series unique (an array of "spells" in a third person shooter) wasn't taken advantage of.

Thankfully, you can sell lots of copies aping something else instead of exercise your actual design muscle.

Witcher 3 is basically this without the "shooter" part and it's like 8/10 of an excellent game for that reason

The big thing Fallout 4 has going for it now is the FPS gameplay so let's hope they didn't gently caress it up.

Moving around in the Oblivion engine felt almost indescribably awful, and Skyrim improved it somewhat...Will Fallout 4 finally have controls on par with popular 1995 first-person game Quake?
