I recently replayed it and I ignored the Minute Men entirely lol so that annoying bullshit never even starts up. If you don’t join them it isn’t a problem
I recently discovered a mod that only allows Preston to give out one Minuteman quest at a time and makes it such that, for the most part, you have to actually ask him to receive another quest. It also makes it such that you have to actually tune your radio to Radio Freedom for it to give you a quest. It's really made a difference for me since it allows me to control the pacing much more effectively. I no longer feel like I have to avoid Preston and my game experience is immeasurably improved by just this little adjustment. Bethesda really messed things up by programming Preston to throw out those quests every time the player was anywhere near to him. It would still be even nicer if one could reject a settlement acquisition quest outright so that I could group my settlements in particular areas of the map (so that I don't have to run very far to defend against settlement attacks) - but maybe there is another mod for that and I just haven't found it yet in the Xbox list.
Any two of Starfield’s faction storylines are as big (and better written/paced) than FO4’s entire main plot. It’s a fundamentally different game; not worse, different.
One of my favorite main stories in gaming is a full conversion mod for Skyrim. Enderal features a fantastic story and some side quests that I will never forget. It's still insane that it's free, and while I'll never be entirely comfortable with paying for every mod for a game, I would understand paying for full conversion mods. Enderal took me 90 hours to finish, which is double the game length of most games. Enderal features some excellent VA (and some bad VA) and has some cutscenes that are better than anything in Skyrim
Idk I played star field it was more fun than new Vegas. And I usually hate anytime my char don't have a voice but in star field being in space just did it for me and all the lore. New Vegas idk why ppl like it other than you can choose idiotic things and I always play games as myself. So I could be a lil bias admittedly.
@@TheSukairah People like New Vegas not because you can choose idiotic things but because you can choose things at all. There were barely any choices of meaning in Fallout 4, almost nothing changed based on how you built your character like it did in FNV.
Oh, man, hearing you talk about this game's story has given me flashbacks on how much I hated it when I first played it. And it's not that it's all terrible, it's that is frustrating how better it could have been and the amount of stuff that goes nowhere and/or is forced upon you without having no control to the end result, beggining with the character choice. It doesn't matter if you choose to play as the war veteran Nate or the seasoned lawyer Norah, both play the exact same way. That's a huge missed opportunity. If you're forcing me to have a backstory, make that backstory count. Have Norah be better at talking and worse at fighting and viceversa. Make Nate's combat skill count for stuff and Norah's intelligence play out in some situations. Give me a reason to choose who I play as beyond cosmetic options. But no. Of course not. Because this game is too afraid of not pleasing every player.
I like pretty much everything about FO4 save the story. I am not a parent, I have no desire to have children of my own, I, while I am capable of being compassionate towards a parent losing their child and being isekai'd 212 years into the future, I'm incapable of true empathy and understanding for such a character, and therefore unable to truly put myself in the characters shoes. So shouting about Shawn every 27.3 seconds in every other conversation really pulls me out of the world and the character. A simple "Pragmatist"speech option everytime Shawn came up that let you focus on the whole "Isekai'd 212 years into the future" and deflect the whole "missing child" thing would have done wonders for immersion and role-play for myself and others lile me. You're 212 years from home, in a strange world, with unknown dangers, few friends, and few resources, any sane person would worry about their own survival and establish themselves before sprinting off into a radioactive wasteland unprepared to chase after a child they don't know the location of, and that's probably not still alive seeing as *gestures broadly at irradiated hellscape*
What I like to do when I play Fallout 4, just lean all the way into the reworked power armor and roleplay as a Nate who's done playing nice. Makes it a bit easier to justify sticking with the Brotherhood and I think power armor/melee/heavy weapons is actually pretty fun in this.
I have an unfortunate issue, that forces me to disable Survival mode when I get to level 50+, where the higher level I get the more likely it is for my game to freeze. The issue is limited specifically to Survival mode, and it really starts to get exponentially bad the higher level I get. To the point where VATS and transition loading screens are a gamble.
Most UA-camrs cover the vanilla game, which I haven't been interested in since early 2016. I get why they do it; it's the largest share of the game's potential audience. It is still the least interesting aspect of the game as I enjoy it. I enjoy Fallout 4 like I enjoyed Legos as a child. As a box of possibilities. Those possibilities are unlocked with mods, and my preference is for large quest and gameplay mods with original stories, characters, assets and voice actors (SS2, Fallout London, et cetera). It's the difference between jamming out to Metallica or Taylor Swift and starting your own punk/garage band. I've argued with friends who are UA-camrs who insist that they prefer the vision of the actual developers over unpaid amateurs/modders. I've never convinced anyone, but they haven't convinced me either. I love modding for the same reason I love a great YT channel: In a world of makers and users I prefer DIY. I'm happy you exist and I enjoy your perspective. Stay punk AF.
The main story of this game is basically you lost your son in a post apocalyptic disneyland but you get distracted with all the attractions and rides that you care more about having fun than finding your missing child.
I think the biggest problem with Fallout 4, obviously the story, is it felt like they wrote the entire story for Fallout 4 before developing the game. Then tried to develop the game around that story, and give the player illusion of choice. However, the illusion of choice is blatantly obvious after playing and you didn't have a choice. While with a game like Fallout: New Vegas, it felt like they started with the factions, wrote the entire story with each faction, and then mixed things here or there. So while there is still some illusion of choice it's less obvious.
When it comes to the Evolution of V.A.T.S. : in F76 it became pretty much an aimbot. I don't know if they changed it by now, but last time i played (roughly half a year ago) it still was this way: When you activate the System it autosnaps to the target nearest to your crosshair and with the right perks let's you autosnap to specific bodyparts (like the head or Fusion core) without hindering your movement. Only Downside is that the Hitchance is Statbased (but you can push those so high it doesn't rly matter) and that each shot costs AP which, with the right Gear and Perksetup becomes a nonissue too. Once you set your perks up and got the right gear, you can just hold activate vats, hold down the mousebutton and watch your crosshair snap around until everything is dead or you ran out of ammo.
When Fallout 4 first released I was a little disappointed because my expectations were high. Still gave it about an 8/10 Replayed it 2 years later on Survival difficulty and with all the DLCs abd it became an all-timer for me. Even if I liked the setting/tone of 3 and NV mkre, Fallout 4 was just such a fun game
The biggest sin of the Minutemen which makes them unacceptable as a faction is that they are boring af. I'm not even talking about them being moral paragons. They just have boring quests, boring characters except that one older lady, and are ultimately overshadowed by the Institute, BoS and Railroad which have their own problems but at least they have some flavor.
Fallout 4 isn't even a real RPG though. The game isn't designed to allow for any real roleplaying. The closest it gets to being an RPG is letting you pick your stats and perks when you level up, which isn't even really what makes something an RPG.
It's annoying that Bethesda could have fundamentally changed the entire story for the better with just one caveat. Make the player a synth. The twist being that Sean created a synth in the exact image of his father, implanted it with memories ect. and sent it out there to see if it would seek it's "child" on it's own accord and how. This would turn the story into a Blade Runner esque "what really makes us human" and would even explain some of the downright silly encounters like the infamous child in the fridge. All those things are planted by the institute to see how this advanced synth would react and if it would deviate from it's goal. Wouldn't have turned the game into a milestone in writing but would've made it way more engaging imo
Aside from the issues that had been identified, my main qualm is how inconsistent some of the plot/storylines/quests are just because of either laziness or because of poor writing. I personally want to go with poor writing. I love the quest to turn Curie into a "human" synth, from a Mister Handy robot. But for some stupid reason, you can't do it for other robots, even worst, not even for robobrain bots. I'm sure there are some lame excuse for this, from either the writers or some lame reasons from the hardcore fans, but I really wished that I could have my Codsworth or Ada as a "human" synth. At least make it a simple optional questline, otherwise, it just feels so inconsistent. Even if it's a matter of not important enough to make it at launch, just do it over patches. I just want Codsworth to be the Alfred to my Batman.
I have the GOG version, installed the super textures, and .... never saw them. It's nowhere explained if you need to take any steps whatsoever. Found nothing in the options. 40 or so Gigabytes of texture crap downloaded. Nothing used.
reading many mods descriptions and hearing about data miners discoveries made me question why did they removed so much content (some even post launch) and made me afraid for future bethesda games currently i can't imagine playing fallout 4 without mods that either fix or improve or add completely new mechanics (getting close to 5k hours)
I agree with the lack of consequences, but I have to admit, I HATED Nuka World. I hated being forced to be a Raider. I thought it was a cool idea, if you wanted to do it, but I never did. I also never got into the settlement DLC with the contraptions and such. But I enjoyed Automaton, but wished they would not have reused Mechanist and Antagonizer from FO3. But the story was intersting. Far Harbor was Shivering Isles and DragonBorn levels of Bethesda Quality story telling.
One of this games where I entertain the idea of return but I know I need to suffer through horrible beginning. It really doesn't encourage repetition for me (unlike New Vegas
25:27 😂 approximately 1.5 hours to glitch the stats beyond what the game can handle no mod console versions. You just gotta know 2-3 glitch tricks and save often because of crashes
When the next gen patch came out i started a new run on ps5, intending to 100% the game. Ive had so many quests break on me that i would have to do another run in order to get the achievements. Ive also had a glitch where Preston gave me 5 settlement quests in a row, and every time i complete one he just replaces it with another leading to a full quest log at all times. Its kinda disappointing how broken their games stay
Counterpoint, I got the gog version and wish I got the Steam version. Wabbajack lists are made for Steam, and DLC isn't transferable for Fallout VR. This is an outlier, though. I still prefer GOG for a lot of games.
I've played unmodded Fallout 4 on Survival many times, and the biggest issue for me is the difficulty curve. At low levels, everything is great, but as you level up, things become easier and boring.
I remember I once found an explosive minigun. The damage scales with both the explosive perks and the big guns one. It genuinely made the game boring because it utterly trivialised the combat, even Mirelurk Queens died in literal seconds.
Still one of my favorite sandboxes. Even after all this time, Fallout 4 and Skyrim still have something that other open worlds lack. I can't put it into words, but they feel more 'real', or just pull me in deeper than any other open worlds.
I loved New Vegas. But bethesdas versions of the game, after that "what's over the next hill" experience wears off, tend to fall flat for me. I never get invested in their gameworld or care for their characters. Same happened with Skyrim, Bethesda games feel hollow to me, never making me care about anyone or anything
For me this was the game where bethesda began dying. They watered the rpg elements, story, formula, etc. down to the point where is is just so……. meh….. As wide as a lake, as deep as a puddle
I really enjoyed this game while I was playing it .. exploring finding new locations looting and fighting through the dungeons.. but once I finished everything up, all the dlc and story content, I basically uninstalled it and never looked back lol it’s weird like that .. I loved it while I was in it but once it was all said n done I look back on it like meh
Hi yes Fallout 4 I would say pretty much my a great game as was a bit of a modern classic I would say I like the gameplay more but the story is New Vegas is
It seems that every faction is the worst, except for all the other ones. Reminds me of Tyranny but in that game you can just say "scr** all of you" and complete the game on your own. But that was a cRPG, not an openworld sandbox FPS survival crafting basebuilding RPG
If I were to review this game, the score would be something like 5-6/10. Simply meh. Not bad, but also not good. I prefer actual rpg elements and good storytelling to the sandbox. But to be honest I still had better time with it than with Starfield.
I wish Bethesda would quit being so damn lazy and fix the next gen version. I was having a blast putting dozens of hours into it again and I go to robco and it is completely bugged, couldn't leave, walls were see through, literally unplayable. Still think Fallout 4 is a king of an escapist rpg
Did I miss your comparisons to the other Fallouts in the review? I may have misinterpreted you early, too, but I thought you were going to discuss your thoughts on the whole series, and I didn't catch it in the review.
Imho the building and progression system is a lot better in Fallout 4 than in Fallout 3 and New vegas and thank god they got rid of all the useless skills. Is right to say that the main quest and the factions of the base game are really bad (but Brotherood of steel are really cool), but i also think that the main quest is bad in almost every Bethesda games (maybe only in Morrowind is a little better). Not the best RPG that i have played, but there are a lot of RPG that are much worse tha Fallout 4.
Unfortunately when I bought a PS5 and transfered games fallout 4 dlc,s no longer work and I've tried everything so never did finish game ,the far harbor and nuka world are great Preston Garvey crappola sucks
I found base building boring as hell. The game was okay, I really liked the DLC's that came out, but overall even with mods I haven't played it in years. Probably won't again either.
This game was such a disappointment for me.. Witcher 3 released in the same year is still to this day a miles better RPG and overall a videogame .. Bethesda is just so stuck in the past for almost already 10 years .. Obsidian tear a new hole in them with New Vegas and since then Bethesda is a better publisher than a developer
Prepare to catch an insane amount of flak for your takes...what makes it worse is that you made this video when people are usually off work, but engagement creates ad credits so...I guess it's great? Reminds me of how the news works, intentional baiting or going after divisive topics with just the goal to gain money...not that this is what your intent is/was...just that it's crazy how similar the process is for a lot of even small creators.
Its by far the weakest fallout, may not buy the next one as a result. The attemp to turn it into a colony sim is not what i want from fallout. The repeat quest that make up the majority of the game are ass, and there are less than 20 actual sidequests with actual storylines. Main quest is actually kinda good. The new way they handle level progression is ass. Weapon selection is boring as hell.
Nee Vegas is also afraid to let you commit to a faction until a certain point, I don't know why people don't talk about this. Once you reach the Lucky 38, all factions forgive everything you ever did to them so the player can change their mind if they wanted.
You're free to believe what you want, but there are some serious shortcomings to the writing and pacing of Fallout 4. New Vegas isn't perfect, but it follows more of a "because of this, then" rather than the "and then" way of writing the modern Bethesda keeps using. It makes the world and story make more logical sense and flow better imo.
Flashbacks of Preston Garvey's "Another settlement needs your help." 😂
I recently replayed it and I ignored the Minute Men entirely lol so that annoying bullshit never even starts up. If you don’t join them it isn’t a problem

2:10 "your custom character appears in a cutscene" moment
One of my favorite games ever! Sunk over 1,000 hours with the settlement system!
Liked FNV story more, but I really liked what Fo4 had to offer! 👍
I love the settlement system too. I was soo excited about Starfeild bcs of this, such disappointment but not suprise really.
Sunk so many hours in this game. Cant wait to see your full thoughts on this👌🏼definitely had its highs and lows for sure
FO4: Huh, what's that over there? I'm gonna check it out.
Starfield: What's that over there? Oh right... I don’t care.
Any two of Starfield’s faction storylines are as big (and better written/paced) than FO4’s entire main plot.
It’s a fundamentally different game; not worse, different.
I really loved this game and i CANT WAIT for fallout 5 to come out in 2036 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These morning vids go great with a scalding hot cup of coffee. Cheers ☕️
Definitely agree about Far Harbor. If the whole game was that good, well. A girl can dream, can't she?
Now that’s a Christmas gift !!! Thanks Mortem !!!

Does Enderal work with The Anniversary Edition?
@@eternaldarkness3139 Yes
I’m approaching 400h in FO4 and I have never advanced the main plot beyond rescuing Nick Valentine. It’s the Survival sandbox for me.
Enjoy this game, the next fallout comes out in 10 years.
Absolutely loved F4, but definitely some red flag warnings for what was to come *cough* Starfield *cough*

I played through the starfield tutorial, stole one ship and just gave up on that game. Literally never went back.

The story really gets in the way of this settlement building game lol
Id love to see you do a modded partial play through
I had such a blast playing through survival mode. I hope bethesda makes a fallout game built around it.
Does survival make enemies less spongy
@@dangeroushandlesyes, enemies and the players alike
I'm doing a survival play through right now. The crashes are so painful.......
Good show sir
Truly just some tiny upgrades and it can become a grand sandbox experience. And if you add mods especially the randomizing ones, divine.

I have the GOG version, installed the super textures, and .... never saw them. It's nowhere explained if you need to take any steps whatsoever. Found nothing in the options. 40 or so Gigabytes of texture crap downloaded. Nothing used.
Fallout is definitely one of the best series in gaming history despite it's faults.
Love this game.
I love the gameplay. Story is whatever but I've been playing this since release. Most other games just come across as boring in comparison.
if you put 10 on a atribute and find a bubblehead you still get 1 pont and become 11

You can throw vodka bottles at Maxson while he's giving his BS speech, best game ever.
in the end i just became the raider big boss and burned down settlements
I loved New Vegas. But bethesdas versions of the game, after that "what's over the next hill" experience wears off, tend to fall flat for me.
I never get invested in their gameworld or care for their characters. Same happened with Skyrim, Bethesda games feel hollow to me, never making me care about anyone or anything
For me this was the game where bethesda began dying.
They watered the rpg elements, story, formula, etc. down to the point where is is just so……. meh…..
As wide as a lake, as deep as a puddle
the addition of creation mods kinda annoyed me to the point that i never toughed the game again... was fun while it lasted thou
Nice
The highlight of this game for me is going heretic hunting with my brotherhood bros. Purge the mutant!
I really enjoyed this game while I was playing it .. exploring finding new locations looting and fighting through the dungeons.. but once I finished everything up, all the dlc and story content, I basically uninstalled it and never looked back lol it’s weird like that .. I loved it while I was in it but once it was all said n done I look back on it like meh
For me, Fallout 4 is a candidate for a desert island game.
Hi yes Fallout 4 I would say pretty much my a great game as was a bit of a modern classic I would say I like the gameplay more but the story is New Vegas is
It seems that every faction is the worst, except for all the other ones. Reminds me of Tyranny but in that game you can just say "scr** all of you" and complete the game on your own. But that was a cRPG, not an openworld sandbox FPS survival crafting basebuilding RPG
If I were to review this game, the score would be something like 5-6/10. Simply meh. Not bad, but also not good. I prefer actual rpg elements and good storytelling to the sandbox. But to be honest I still had better time with it than with Starfield.
I wish Bethesda would quit being so damn lazy and fix the next gen version. I was having a blast putting dozens of hours into it again and I go to robco and it is completely bugged, couldn't leave, walls were see through, literally unplayable.
Still think Fallout 4 is a king of an escapist rpg
Strange that it looks so washed out. Maybe stupid question, but do you have RGB set to full in Nvidia control panel?
Did I miss your comparisons to the other Fallouts in the review? I may have misinterpreted you early, too, but I thought you were going to discuss your thoughts on the whole series, and I didn't catch it in the review.
Imho the building and progression system is a lot better in Fallout 4 than in Fallout 3 and New vegas and thank god they got rid of all the useless skills.
Is right to say that the main quest and the factions of the base game are really bad (but Brotherood of steel are really cool), but i also think that the main quest is bad in almost every Bethesda games (maybe only in Morrowind is a little better).
Not the best RPG that i have played, but there are a lot of RPG that are much worse tha Fallout 4.
Unfortunately when I bought a PS5 and transfered games fallout 4 dlc,s no longer work and I've tried everything so never did finish game ,the far harbor and nuka world are great Preston Garvey crappola sucks
I found base building boring as hell. The game was okay, I really liked the DLC's that came out, but overall even with mods I haven't played it in years. Probably won't again either.
This game was such a disappointment for me.. Witcher 3 released in the same year is still to this day a miles better RPG and overall a videogame .. Bethesda is just so stuck in the past for almost already 10 years .. Obsidian tear a new hole in them with New Vegas and since then Bethesda is a better publisher than a developer
The game the ruined my love of the fallout franchise.
Prepare to catch an insane amount of flak for your takes...what makes it worse is that you made this video when people are usually off work, but engagement creates ad credits so...I guess it's great? Reminds me of how the news works, intentional baiting or going after divisive topics with just the goal to gain money...not that this is what your intent is/was...just that it's crazy how similar the process is for a lot of even small creators.
This game's full of nostalgia for me, but by God it is a terrible game.
Its by far the weakest fallout, may not buy the next one as a result. The attemp to turn it into a colony sim is not what i want from fallout. The repeat quest that make up the majority of the game are ass, and there are less than 20 actual sidequests with actual storylines. Main quest is actually kinda good. The new way they handle level progression is ass. Weapon selection is boring as hell.
Nee Vegas is also afraid to let you commit to a faction until a certain point, I don't know why people don't talk about this. Once you reach the Lucky 38, all factions forgive everything you ever did to them so the player can change their mind if they wanted.
Never got the chance to try this one honestly
Probably the best game mechanics as a fallout game.
Story is meh.
"Fallout 4 is fantastic" Really off. You must haven mistaken it for Fallout: New Vegas.
Fallout 4 is far better than New Vegas.....not even close
Then you don't care about story or dialogue (which are quite important in rpgs), because if it was the case, your opinion would have changed
Hilarious
You're free to believe what you want, but there are some serious shortcomings to the writing and pacing of Fallout 4. New Vegas isn't perfect, but it follows more of a "because of this, then" rather than the "and then" way of writing the modern Bethesda keeps using. It makes the world and story make more logical sense and flow better imo.
