I will tell you why all modern games suckīecause the corporate mentality is that a game setting is playground for manchildren no matter how grim the setting or serious the character. If Ulysses and Lonesome Road didn't convince you Avellone is a hack who can only sound deep in settings with no real-world history or religion, I don't know what to tell you. The real problem with Fallout has been it's shitty worldbuilding, and that started with Chris Avelone and the Fallout Bible.

They should have had every settlement work like Helgen reborn and/or Heathfire. Diablo has loot, Borderlands has loot, shiny crap that makes you go "IT"S SO PRETTY AND SHINY" New Vegas has Loot, Fallout 3 and 4 have vendor trash.įundamentally I Loathe Fallout 4 because Fallout 4 goes out of its way to LIE to me about it's every premise and the settlement system interface is the WORST designed thing I've ever seen for it's purpose.

You are not a General or a leader, a parent, you are an errand boy sifting through TRASH, using TRASH to build TRASH, that listless TRASH PEOPLE will live in listlessly do stuff for you and give you more TRASH. So is this terrible mechanic the improved FPS mechanics? FUCK NO!įallout 4 is a mechanically committed celebration of ugliness and garbage. Recently I played Fallout 4 with the Depravity mod by Thuggysmurf, which allows a MUCH different first half of the game, a MUCH better narrative and eventually my game crapped for some reason, probably switching out mods, and I felt sick afterward, and I realized that there is a VAST difference between game narrative and the actual game, to the point that I think I'll have to watch Thuggysmurf's other mods via let's plays because Fallout 4's gameplay mechanics are actually poisonous to my soul, no matter how much Thuggy's mods salvage out a decent narrative fundamentally chained to a terrible map.

Why the fuck do I hate this game so much? Unlike most of you I didn't hate the main quest, I hated everything around it, but this question goes around what I consider everything around it, so this goes to all of the Fallouts except 1. Now, the utter shittiness of Fallout 4 has gotten me interested in game design over the last four years.
