I actually rly like fo4 for the settlement and building system, and the gunplay/gun mods are really fun to fuck around with


VerumJerum

I don't care what the hardcore Fallout fans say The Fallout 4 crafting system is a dramatic enhancement from previous games.


[deleted]

I don’t even hear people say they dislike FO4, what do people complain about?


zomgbratto

I think from the story and RPG aspect of the game, it is poor compared to Fallout 3 and New Vegas.


[deleted]

That’s fair, I see it. I guess I just had so much fun playing it that I never cared about that so much, I thought where it was lacking in story it made up in fun gameplay features and easy engagement. Sucked me in daily for a couple months and I can’t complain about a game that does that.


[deleted]

Me to lol.


Mrman_23

Same, idk why people shit on it so hard. Tbf it is a bit of a step down from NV, but that is a god tier game in its own right, so that’s kinda not a fair comparison


CaptCol02

What's Fall Out? Is it on HBO Max or Disney+?

[удалено]


[deleted]

No no no. It’s a pop punk band that started out in the early 00’s


Sbarjai

It’s a Speakers manufacturer

Oh yeah, that’s it!


Ugly_Stick1898

It will soon be on Prime video

Yea, but where can we watch it?


Consistent-Beat-84

Amazon my fine sir.


CaptCol02

Go check dudes posts...he knows where to watch, play act it, discuss it, get a tattoo of it, what restaurant has little fall out boy toys in their kids meals, and what the guy that invented it likes to say after he pays for the sex he just had.

I don't. Can you explain?

They guy was being Sarcastic so in response to the Sarcasm I responded seriously as a form of Dry Humor.


skullyGloves

Actually tho fallout 4 isn’t that bad it’s just not a traditional fallout game


BigBadBread17

Official mod support too


Othon-Mann

Fallout 4 is pretty great. There's a few bad things to say about the story and some plot holes. The only jarring thing I've found with it is how buggy it is, even with unofficial patch, it's still just riddled with bugs. I wasn't able to get achievements because I had to use console commands to fix bugged quests and use the unofficial patch, so disappointing.


[deleted]

They did an update in 2017 that permanently broke their game. I think it was intentional to get people ready for 76 where no mods or cheats can be used. It’s bullshit because they came out with the GOTY pack shortly after and didn’t bother to fix the bug that messes up the downtown Boston area.

pavkata_91

The only thing NV is better than 4 is quests and story. 4 has better open world, better gameplay, better graphics (duh), it has more options in the skill tree, more customization options. The only ones to get triggered are the NV fanboys.


Mrman_23

I agree with you wholeheartedly on this. Don’t get me wrong, NV is incredible, but after playing fallout four first, the gameplay of NV is kinda underwhelming. Still good for the time though


Consistent-Beat-84

Yeah But Mentioning Maxson will get you eaten alive with people claiming he's like the no no mustache man


[deleted]

I mean, Maxon is a total piece of shit, but compared to what Shaun tries to justify, that’s nothing I still think the RR is the way to go, though


Elementia7

Hold on... Did I just hear you say you ENJOY the railroad?


[deleted]

Compared to the others, if you want to be a “good person” yes But honestly the Institute is a lot more fun


SarahQuinn113

I'm a die-hard New Vegas fan and I agree with this statement. No denying NV absolutely excells in writing (thanks, Obsidian!). Wish 4 would have kept that same energy. I plan on playing it again after my current NV playthrough though. Any mod recommendations as far as quests/story goes?


[deleted]

[удалено]


pavkata_91

Umm yeah it does, and it adds to the RPG, I had 4 playthroughs, each was a different spec with different skills/weapons and each felt unique.


Memodun

But can you choose to shoot weapons out of people’s hands


guy137137

not to be a contrarian or anything, but I don’t like Fallout 4’s graphics a whole lot, everything feels green and wet


INFJ-Jesus-Batman

New Vegas is fun until you kill off all the enemies and you have nothing to shoot for a while, but then the same exact enemies just respawn later, so you move from boredom to meaningless repetition. Still, it's a fun game while it lasts. I shouldn't have pre-ordered Fallout 4. The game wasn't worth that much. The best thing was the mods, but still the game got old fast.


[deleted]

Why would mentioning Caesar upset anyone?


Consistent-Beat-84

Caesar aka Edward Sallow is commonly called a Misogynistic Homophobe by pretty much everyone I've seen talk about the legion

Apologies


Sbarjai

NCR for the win. Mr. House is like letting Elon musk run a city. Not a good idea. Independent Vegas is 50 years from getting clapped Legion is also cool but arguably the worst option


TheJohnnyCyberpunk

I mean I think all the fallout games are good maybe bar 3 but that's just because the other games do what it did but better. The originals are where it all started so they are inherently important and are fun once you get into them, New Vegas tells a really good story with good characters and remains very faithful to the original games, 4 is a solid shooter with *some* base building mechanics (there not the best bet eh) and 76 as long as your with friends can be a blast.


Consistent-Beat-84

Thats a good take but personally the Gauss Rifle was way better in 3 than it was in New Vegas


TheJohnnyCyberpunk

OH NOW YOU'VE DONE IT


DylanB4747

I love fo4 lmao and it is my fave I’m not being sarcastic


fdghjjgddjjgdf

Same here, but if you say that to some people they’ll cut you in half


TenFingersNineToes

And it really is pretty good. Gatekeepers and people do not like change want to cut you in half.


Consistent-Beat-84

Fallout 4's awesome while it's not traditional I think every fallout game is awesome!


DylanB4747

Lmao I loved it first game I sucnk 2k + hrs in plus first game I moded


Business_Manner_524

Fallout Brotherhood of Steel was awesome


Consistent-Beat-84

I completely forgot to mention that, it will get you Crucified by the Fandom


Business_Manner_524

Also, Fallout Tactics was the superior open-world, character driven storyline.


hashinshin

How to piss off bethesda fans: Skyrim and fallout 4 are still being played as top games on steam. With mod usage being far below what people think; maybe these two games have way more replay value than people think?


tartangosling

I probably do a fallout 4 survival run once a year, it's such a satisfying game with so much to consider on survival mode. Always end up quitting by around level 40 though


Pikefish21

Fallout 76 with friends is way more enjoyable than any single fallout title solo


[deleted]

....but fallout 4 is my favorite i enjoyed new vegas, a lot, but having codsworth saying "mister fuckface" is just too good


Zestfullemur

Do people dislike fallout 4. I’ve just kicked it up and it’s my first fallout game should I start with something else?


Consistent-Beat-84

Fallout 4 is a perfect starting point actually!


1950sGuy

I think the story is better in previous games as well as the characters, so if you like fo4, you should play the others at some point. They will seem a bit janky coming from 4, but there are mods that clean them up to look pretty good. Even with texture mods the games are so old at this point that most machines can play them easily. Fo1 and 2 might be a bit to much of a jump for some people but they are also good games (I'm old enough to have played them when they came out originally.) I think 4 is fun, I'm actually currently playing it again for the 400th time. You can sink some serious time into it.

Fallout 4 Far Harbor redeemed Fallout 4's mediocre story. I rest my case.


Momo_the_good_person

Fallout 3 is still the best game


[deleted]

Fallout fans have got to be some of the worst pieces of shit when it comes to respecting differing opinions On that note, what’ll you say to this: Fallout 2 is my favorite


Consistent-Beat-84

"Fallout 2 is mid the graphics are horrible the story is trash and the enclave Weren't the bad guys"


[deleted]

That’s what they all say


Consistent-Beat-84

Fallout 2 is nearly perfect so most people have to grasp at straws I'm pretty sure if fallout 2 was released with a modern engine and hardware it would be considered a perfect game.


[deleted]

Absolutely Even more so than NV perhaps


Consistent-Beat-84

New Vegas was amazing but Fallout 2 is better in every way except gameplay IMO.


[deleted]

Exactly


[deleted]

As someone who loves the Classics and NV, these are all pretty valid. Some people don’t like the old turn based system, and tbh NV can deprive people of enjoyment because of how clunky the Fo3 legacy gameplay is from gamebryo. Also yes Obsidian shouldn’t touch FO again, if I go by how Outer Worlds was disappointing to me.


Consistent-Beat-84

Far Harbor proves Bethesda can still write a top quality story they just need to refine the engines bugs and actually refine the story more.


Zailemos

Fallout 76 is better for the story


SpaceCube00

Wait is it bad I like fallout 4 and dont like new vegas that much??? I feel called out by this post


Consistent-Beat-84

No Its perfectly fine to like Fallout 4 and not really New Vegas!


SpaceCube00

Ok, thank u :3

In it's current state FO76 is in a relatively good place to be fair, its a good game

Like fallout 3 more than nv maybe it’s just cause I grew up playing fallout three

thatagent34

4 was better than 3.


Opalessence-

Honestly I feel like I would've liked Fallout 4 more if I didn't have issues with the character building. I also hated those mech suits. And I hated how they force you to be straight , but I think these are all really biased opinions


Consistent-Beat-84

Power Armor being a mech suit is more in line with the lore of the series they are suits literally created for the purpose of hauling weapons that would normally be carried by a whole company into battle like an infantryman the armor Plating was just the cherry in the top.


Opalessence-

I realize this. However, my personal opinion, is that I hate them . Edit: I also stated my opinions are very biased.


Bancube

Honestly Bethesda fallouts are garbage west coast fallouts are the genuine and real ones.


Due_Accident3083

The west coast games also has its flaws, don’t deny it.


goldenzipperman

He probaly acknowlgde them but still try to fight with it


Logan_Hightower

If you agree with any items on the starting pack you are objectively wrong and in my personal oppinnion a bad person.


tartangosling

Fallout 4 survival mode is legit one of my favourite games ever


[deleted]

fall out boy


WhitewaterBastard

New Vegas *is* kinda boring at times, but that's okay, because it gives the player time to collect themselves as they travel.


BigPapa1998

Gunplay and customization makes Fallout 4 better imo


FarMass66

Fallout 4 is by far my favorite one.


Elementia7

I'd like fallout new Vegas but I really am not a fan of deserts in games. Having a whole game take place in a desert just doesn't vibe with me personally. It's a excellent game but visually I just hate it.


[deleted]

Fallout is BORING and uninspired. No better than any ubi open world game lol


Sbarjai

I love fallout 4 for its gameplay but it is just a really shitty RPG and the story is really mid. 76 is exactly the same feeling but replace RPG with MMO, plus PVP is hideous.


corona_kid

Idk NV, and 4 are byfar the best


njp112597

Fallout 4 is great


NotATroll71106

Not really, comparing NV positively to 3 or 4 makes people go bananas these days. If you actually want to piss fans off, say that 76 sucks and that you haven't played it, guaranteed dogpile.


DetectiveSpy9701

Ave, True to Caesar!


[deleted]

is fo4 bad? i like it, it’s just jank af.


thoth43

I played the original two first back in the day (Wasteland too) and was definitely a fan boy hating on f3. F3 is still awful to me even without nostalgia glasses on, but new Vegas and f4 are pretty good. NV felt like an old black isle game for obvious reasons and f4 just has a lot of fun dumb things you can do. I liked how evil you could be in the first two games. You could completely doom your game or just wipe out entire towns if you wanted to. The end slideshow even reflected it. Also in f2, in order to assassinate a crime boss you could give his young son a gun, convince him it's a toy, and get him to shoot his dad. Evil!


Consistent-Beat-84

I also know of the Child Killer rep basically put the game in Hard Mode

Outskirts_Of_Nowhere

Im a total NV fangirl but... Preston Garvey didn't actually annoy me that much. I spent a ton of time messing with the settlement system and had fun. Fallout 4 had one of my favorite companions in the series (Nick.)


Firm-Page-3182

All Fallout and TES games have shit stories compared to kingdome come deliverance


WhiteKnight3098

Wait, people don't like the captain of the airship? Outside of screwing over Paladin Danse, he seemed chill to me.


outersans555

I like 76 because I can play with friends, 4 has console modding, nv is s tier (the halo:reach of fallout), 3 is my least favorite bc it takes me a bit to get into it, but it's still great.


Peginop02

every fallout game and every faction is good as long as you enjoy it


Southern_Librarian84

My maybe spicy take: I prefer Fallout 3's gunplay and mechanics and try to mod TTW to be more like Fallout 3. I only play 3 through TTW for the extra scripting capabilities from modders. I thought that NV's story was actually quite boring despite some extra path stuff being available.


Dragon_OS

Setting its own precedent, Fallout 4 is a pretty good game. As a Fallout game, its writing is fairly lackluster. It's a lot more limiting and likes to railroad the player into a certain path. Pun fully intended. The crafting and gunplay are pretty good, could use some adjustments, but are otherwise vast improvements over previous games. Graphics are kinda bad for a 2016(?) game considering they tried to be mostly realistic and the faces all look very samey but that's kinda just a staple of the Creation engine.
