Fallout 4 announced with teaser trailer

[nivea]

You start the game with a f*#@ing family, are you kidding me?! Where is the freedom of role play in THAT, I am extremely disappointed.

 

You are a middle aged M/F, straight, married, with a BABY. But you do not play as the baby, no you play the middle aged married parent.

 

I feel like a I am so done with FO4 and I havent even gotten to play it.... NONE of my character styles can fit into that little set up. I am very sad right now.... I had high hopes I could even try to get past the voice acting, but really you start with a family. *SIGH*

I'm so glad so many of you just absolutely HATE this game already (for the most spurious of reasons). Hopefully you'll stand aside while the rest of us enjoy and mod what will no doubt be a great game.

 

I cannot believe you people whining about what there is of the PC's backstory. What did you think this was? TES? Fallout has ALWAYS had more of a built-in backstory to the PC, and it's usually tied in to the main quest, at that! You don't like the PC's backstory? So your character goes through a life-changing epiphany during the 200 freaking years he/she was sealed away in some musty vault. There, problem solved, and I won't even charge you the cost of a sweetroll for the idea.

 

...and all this moaning about what you think the game has or doesn't have based on a few minutes of gameplay video, not to mention some retarded internet post from a year ago by some random schmuck.

 

Actually, now that I stop to think about it, you're all absolutely correct. Bethesda never has and never will make a game that's good in any way. All that GOTY business and the many millions of copies sold don't mean a thing. Somehow THIS game will completely break the pattern and just totally suck, because OBVIOUSLY Bethesda has no clue what people like to play. Why, Bethesda never even looks at the most popular mods and then adapts the idea into their next product!

Location, armor, weapons, land marks, skills, armor, possible crafting of armor, story, that video said a ton... then last night at around 7pm it just confirmed it all and some... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0E4wviq9Jc Fallout 4 is going to be amazing.

Where the hell is that family in the game other than in the first minutes when you get a glimpse of the pre-war era? You're all alone after the war and you make up your own future. I honestly feel sorry for you, because I'm gonna enjoy my brains out and maybe there's something for you too.
Also, times are changing and voiced protagonists have become deeply rooted by now. I also have second thoughts about that so I don't doubt there will be a mod that changes it. Edited June 16, 2015 by VWgolfR1

No, no, no, no, NO!!!! Zenimax insisted Fallout 4 be optimised for LAST-GEN consoles (Xbox360, PS3) on the dumb assumption that when released, a good chunk of its profits would come from those platforms. A game released 2.5 to 3 years AFTER the PS4, designed to run on the RAM and GPU of an Xbox360- this is the worst possible scenario.

 

The trailer was horrid- dull assets and rubbish storytelling, since we've all already played Fallout 3 and Fallout:NV, so we don't need to be given a wholly GENERIC introduction to the world of Fallout.

 

This project feels STALE- like a team who'd rather have been revisiting Elder Scrolls rather than taking a trip back to 1950s America. And given the coding team were obviously forced to continue to work with an engine that could operate on a 1900XT (the ancient AMD/ATI tech in the Xbox360) with 512MB of RAM, the coders must've been BORED to death, and very uninspired indeed.

 

I was hoping more for a NEXT-GEN gameplay overhaul rather than fretting about the overall quality of the graphics, but we are clearly getting neither. The CPU of the Xbox360, again, was the limiting factor- so more physics and more interactive mechanisms were out of the question.

 

PS don't bother responding to point out that Bethesda has cancelled the Xbox360 version by now, or spent the last year inserting better MESH assets. Neither change the FACT that we are getting a game in 2016 that was wholly developed so it could run adequately on an Xbox360. This is a Producer/Managerial FAILURE of epic proportions.

Is this correct? I have tried googling this but I can't seem to find anything to back this up! Does anyone have a link to this info? Thanks in advance!

Not a word of it, it is all the lost rambling of someone who is not informed and obviously grumpy about something.

Well, you can always made up story in your mind even with family and baby.
I did the same thing with courier in NV.

Fallout 4 looked amazing at E3. Custom weapons, Custom armor and more!! . The Pip Boy that comes with the Pip Boy Edition looks freaking amazing. I actually cried at little when i was watching the Fallout 4 showcase. I was so amazed at all the new content and customization. I'm going to be getting the Pip Boy Edition, I hope you guys do the same :)
