Utterly Mad

because I kinda feel the need to say this: The ONLY thing that matters is that you enjoy the game and feel you got your moneys worth, end of story. Saying 'no, the company needs to step up' is all fine and dandy, but if you put in a hundred hours and enjoyed the game, I'd say you got your money's worth (less then a dollar an hour)

But then companies get into a rythmn where they don't change, and that's my only problem. You can still love and game and have fun with it, and acknowledge its short comings and flaws. But then again that doesn't sell videogames or make sense, because fuck it this is the internet.


If I'm going to be honest I don't know where I stand with Fallout 4, when I'm roaming around the wasteland doing my own thing, crafting my own guns and just exploring in general; I really love the game and I feel its the best yet. But as soon as I start doing a shitty questline or purusing the main story, that's where it feels like Skyrim (bad Skyrim, not good Skyrim).

And now that I've played it I wouldn't be as harsh on it as I was earlier or like Patches was. Honestly trimming the fat is still bullshit in my eyes, but the shooting feels good to play with, I like shooting someone in the head and watching it become a blob of red jelly. I like taking drugs and hearing my character scream as he gets high off his ass. And while I hate the new dialogue system, the talking protagonist has really grown a little bit on me, I just wish there were more options, or more ways to be nice or to tell someone to fuck themselves other then just having the one choice.

But then again something might come up that makes me backtrack again, and its also the reason why I'm avoiding the main quest like the plague. Because I know I'm going to end up hating it by the end, because I'm starting to predict what the outcome will be, the opening will be great and have the most attention, but by the end of it, it feels like the writers gave up half way through writing it.




Fallout 4 is a SOLID game, not mediocre, SOLID. I'd put it in the same category as MGSV, it could be perfect, but one or two flaws really hurt the game for me. And to be honest I haven't run into any gamebreaking bugs in a while, so I might be lucky.
