It frustrates me when people form an opinion based on zero experience. How would they know they do or not like it if they haven’t tried? But you have and you’ve gave it a fair whack by the sounds of it. And I totally get the overwhelming sensation NV can give you, after hundreds of hours I know the feeling. Fallout 3 was special for me as its the first one I played and I really enjoyed it, I felt NV did a better job, for me though. However 4, I think is a different ballpark because it skips a lot of the core elements of both of those games a wittles it down to be able to suit a more, easiest way to say it, ‘dumbed down audience’ and I think it was marketed wrong. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried it but I had 1000x more fun in 4 when I didn’t follow any quest or map markers or storylines. I got out the vault and just went a explored and I treated it as I was roleplaying ad an explorer. I see a building, I think oh I’ll go look at that that looks cool. And I enjoyed it so much more cause I played it without stress of the storyline but I enjoyed just searching around and seeing what I could find and there were so many parts I hadn’t explored before! In that aspect, from an exploration point of view, I really enjoyed 4.
Also the old ladies and the roling pins, you ain’t alone…awful that I know exactly what you mean haha
Also massive preach, NV has nothing on the F3 & F4 soundtracks. And 76, I played an hour or two so I can’t really comment.
I’m just laughing over the downvotes. See exactly what I mean? People cannot handle a differing opinion. I said nothing about NV being objectively worse, just why I don’t like it but nah. Not good enough. How fragile and insecure some people are would be truly side-splittingly hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.
I prefer 3 and 4 to NV any day of the week but… 4? It’s a worse game than any of the others by every margin. How I do play it is exactly how you described. I go and explore. There’s a lot less overall civilization and basically the same thing as 3 when it came to hyper simple factions. But my focus is always that exploration. It’s why I like Oblivion and Skyrim too. That same feel of wonder and awe of getting to explore something and not knowing what treasures or terrors you may find.
76 I played a very very small amount because I just don’t dig MMORPGs in general. Feels like my impact doesn’t change the world as much as you see it in single players. Can’t say much in the run of music or anything else there either. But I did like being able to wander around and find new things when I was first playing it.
And the music… yeah. Bingo bango bingo he don’t wanna leave the congo oh no no no no nooooooooooooooooooooo
Mental…people are just wet wipes but hey ho. Everyone’s entitled to whatever opinion they want, being able to communicate effectively and understand other opinions though is the kicker.
Oblivion and Skyrim are my G’s! I’ve spent so many hours on them and its exactly how I play them! Especially Skyrim, the wow factor does die after a while but I lowkey roleplay it sometimes and just go for a wander or a walk through an unknown fantasy universe wondering what’s beyond the corner. It makes it 10x more interesting and its how I think they should have marketed Fallout 4. 10x better as a exploration game than a RPG.
Maybe one day I’ll try 76, just to explore a new environment created by Bethesda but its not at the top of my list, same as ESO. Gave that up straight away. Ahhh yes the musiccc, brings me back
See I can totally respect and understand you!
