Current Events » Fallout 4 is apparently selling out everywhere because of the show
I already did 3 and NV a couple of months ago. Never played 4 until now. >_>

Honestly I think it's fine. Story is kinda bad but it scratches a similar itch as 3 for me, where I just enjoy exploring the setting.

Fallout 4 is physically on modern consoles, 3 and NV are not.

Im curious what the retention rate will be. While it doesnt look like trash, I havent seen any gameplay of that game that makes it look at all enticing. Not sure if mod support can drastically change it or not, but I wouldnt be surprised if 90% of people drop it before completing the main story.

I doubt most of those players even engage with the mods. Alot probably won't understand what mods do for the game. Those that do engage it most likely won't know about load order and the optimal load orders (or know that it's bad idea to delete a mod mid-playthrough), so it could make for a worse experience when their game crashes, lags, or bugs out a lot more often because of a bad load order or because they deleted a mod mid playthrough
4 is definitely better than 76 and better in a lot of ways than 3 (and even NV to a lesser extent) . It's dumbed down from NV of course, but people act like it's complete garbage with nothing redeemable or good in it. Y'all need to quit being so dramatic.

I talk a lot of shit about Fallout 4's story and role-playing mechanics, but it's still a fun action-RPG IMO
I have nothing else to say

3 and NV are a bit too dated and janky for modern audiences. 4 makes sense.

All fallout games still being released in any form have been selling great thanks to the show.

4 is absolutely not worse than 3.

Neither four nor 76 are the worst Fallout game. Yet I doubt most people even know Fallout Brotherhood of Steel existed.

yeah it's pretty sad. even 76 is a better option, honestly.

Hard disagree.

I swear New Vegas might be the most overrated game Ive ever seen in a series.

It's the most accessible game. As good as NV and 3 are, they're clunky by today's standards and people would get turned off it pretty quickly.
How in the world do you figure? VATs is the same across all 3 games. The whole gameplay loop is nearly identical across all three, except that in 4 you annoyingly have to do a lot more inventory management because you need junk to upgrade weapons/armor/settlements. And settlements arent fun.

I really wish there were an option to play NV and 3 on PS5. Maybe the success of the show will give us remastered versions.

3 and NV play like an RPG with shooting mechanics. 4 is the first one that feels like a shooter, and it's gameplay mechanics are simplified, for better or worse. You can, for the most part, skip the settlement stuff, so I don't really think that's a factor if you don't enjoy it (which is a subjective thing anyways - I enjoyed it, although it was a bit shallow).

I wish they had never introduced the settlement building and put more effort into the story.

Settlements are one of the most fun things about 4 until the bugs start happening.

Which can be as soon as you populate Sanctuary and get the '0 beds available' bug, forcing you to walk into the Settlement and open workshop mode for the game to load properly and realize, "Oh, yeah, all these beds, crops, and water sources DO EXIST!"

Also, be warned that once you get above 20 or so Settlements an attack on one can trigger a chain of attacks to them all. So unless you want to babysit Settlements all the time it is best to limit yourself to 2-3 that are built up, along with the few freebies you get from quests.

Only ever played 3, NV and 4

Really liked 3.

I'm not as fond of New Vegas but I get why it's most people's favourite.

I thought 4 was alright. I didn't get into it as much as Fallout 3.

What I really want out of a fallout game is the robust crafting system and settlement building of 4 with everything else being like New Vegas.

Settlements in the base game were boring as shit and only served to generate unlimited caps and get a couple of pointless achievements.

I didn't play enough with them in the DLC to see if the additions were any worthwhile.
