The people in that hypothetical have not physically attempted to like the thing yet. RIP Demos.

They think they won't like it based on the information they now have. I don't see the issue.

If I blindly bought a product that didn't exist yet and then eventually saw it in its finished state and really didn't like what I saw, I'd try to get my money back. But apparently that's a laughable opinion and I should just buy the Product and force myself to try and like it regardless.

Awesome! The endless ghoul filled metro tunnels were my favorite part about Fallout 3. Glad Bethesda listened to its fans and brought it back.

Hmmm I'll just take this perk they replaced low int play through dialogue and game play with that makes it so every time I take any action I get XP.

*opens drawer* CHA-CHING! *takes glue from drawer* CHA-CHING! *takes ammo from drawer* CHA-CHING! *closes drawer* CHA-CHING! *steps away from drawer* CHA-CHING! *removes weapon from holster* CHA-CHING! *fires gun* CHA-CHING! *fires gun again* CHA-CHING!

You posted a graphics comparison image between Fallout 4 and an alpha version of Witcher 3 to prove your point that Fallout looks better.

I tried reading the thread but felt parts of myself coming loose inside, could someone summarize why this is going to be a bad game please?

Every time you gain XP a loud CHA-CHING! noise plays. When in combat this sound will play about once every two seconds. To make it worse, theres a perk that gives you XP randomly when you take any action such as opening a door.

For real though. This is probably one of the most annoying things I have seen so far and I hope to disable it on day one.

There will definitely be a mod within the first week that disables it. Its just baffling that Bethesda chose to put that in again after Obsidian had the good sense to realize it was a horrible design decision and removed it for NV.

The video mentions white people in a negative context, for example... yes, casual racism, as you mentioned. And sexism. Not that we need to have a seminar on the ramblings of a couple random guys in some video, but they didn't come across very positively.

Uh no? I liked Witcher 3 a lot but they're fuckin just different games. Witcher plays more like an ARPG than anything else. Is it a joke to say most of the NPCs in Witcher were just carbon copies? Did you even walk around the main city for a few minutes paying attention to your surroundings? There's like 2-3 models for 'street prostitute' that just get shuffled over and over - ditto for GTA5 to a lesser extent.

It's just weird how you fools have to compare every game like they're the same across the board when they're just not. I loved Witcher 3. I absolutely don't get how it 'ruins' Bethesda games.

Yeah but those random people are put there to make the games cities feel alive. Bethesda games do this too except instead of making it feel like theres 10,000 people in a city by putting people all over the place going about their lives, they just plop 4 extra NPCs with one line of dialog in random spots and they stand there pointlessly. You'd be crazy to deny that Noviograd felt more alive and interesting than any city in any Bethesda game ever.

Bottom line is that Witcher 3 had a development budget of about 45 million whereas Fallout 4 probably cost a good deal more than double that.

30 million dollars of that was marketing (Carl's Jr. Geralt cup gently caress yeah). It cost them 15 million dollars to actually make the game.

He just edited the number in. Check the page history but definitely a fair point.

EDIT: Definitely a fair point but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Fallout 4's budget is lower. Most AAA games are actually in the 10-20 million range.

lol i don't think he edited that fella
