FALLOUT 4 Official Discussion: Super Stimpak Edition

Speaking of New Vegas, does anyone know if Hardcore mode will be making a return?

Trash can be broken down into stuff for crafting weapons/armor and stronghold stuff.
And so can duplicates of useful stuff, which is nice.

Equipment outside of powerarmor doesn't degrade anymore either, so you never really need more than one of any piece of equipment.

You mean weapons don't have durability anymore? I think they called it condition in previous games.

It freaken better. I didn't use it the first time around but when I LOVED it in the second playthrough. It really adds a lot to the game imo.

Right. Personally I'm kind of relieved. It always felt a little weird carrying around five hunting rifles at the same time just to make repairs.

I ordered the Pip Boy Edition.

I'm wondering if it is really worth it, I might be cheeky and just get another standard copy stick the Pip Boy version on ebay and flip it for a profit. <_<

I haven't decided yet, but I will be tracking the demand when the time comes.

Don't talk about turning those for a profit. You'll draw the ire of many nerds, as I've learned personally.

That's awesome! I always hated how quickly everything degraded. And you're right, having to carry around all that junk for repairs was very annoying.

Few complaints but they are very minor. Bunch of reused songs, no Hardcore mode and guns last forever.

The endurance SPECIAL -video hinted that there could be some form of "primary needs" system. Or that at least that eating and drinking would be somehow mandatory.

I bet you can fully heal by sleeping one hour again too. :cool:

So you can't randomly murder people anymore and get near instant access to OP power armor?
 
HOW do I pre-order? I clicked pre-order amazon and it just went to amazon and showed like FO3. HALP

Yeah, I actually don't like that you can heal that easy. There should definitely be a hard mode, one of the things about playing a post apocalyptic game should be managing your scarce resources and living on the brink. I really didn't like FO3 that much because it was really easy and you could be good at everything. I guess I don't mind an easy mode like that being available to people who don't want to limit the number of bullets they can carry so they can make room for more grilled mantis legs. I just hope they keep in mind the players that want a challenging experience beyond enemies having more hit points.
 
So, without watching hours of video, can someone answer a couple of question for me.

I love The Elder Scroll games, and people say that the Fallout series is great. I've never played them. I'm wondering how varied the environments are in them. That's one of the things I love about TES, is how diverse the maps are (save for repetitive dungeons), but the wasteland setting makes me a bit apprehensive.

It's one of the reasons I have fallen out of love with Mad Max right now. A giant sand wasteland got boring to me. Am I going to do the same with Fallout if I buy it?
 
Looks fucking good. More vibrant than 3, but still desolate.

I played FO3 right after Skyrim and absolutely loved the atmosphere of the wasteland. I also thought I would hate it. It looks desolate and boring but wandering the wasteland was one of my best ever memories from a video game. Like Skyrim, the music and production make you want to explore what's over the next hill. For me, they really captured the dread and solitude you would experience in a post-apocalyptic world.

Stepping out of the vault for the first time is a moment most players never forget.
 
meh...wake me up when they show the game demo at E3...

yep. thats why fallout 3 is my favorite over NV, I prefer Elder scrolls over fallout series ,but Fallout 3 has a desolate feel in the atmosphere that NV just didn't really have for me. Listening to "I dont want to set the world on fire" for the first time while roaming the wastes was amazing for me. Fallout 3 was awesome (not to say NV wasn't as well, i just prefer 3).

Either way i fully expect fallout IV to be one of the best games ive ever played. My body is ready.
 
To be honest I actually didn't like FO3 all that much and part of the reason was what CPA was talking about. There is a lot of wall paper and clip art thrown around in that game, and most of the dungeons feel very "samey", and it's really easy to get lost inside sections of DC or multifloored buildings in that game. Adding that to the the easy street gameplay of FO3 and the fact that there really wasn't much in the way of RPG elements like there was in NV, I just didn't feel like FO3 was all that good. I forgive them some though because it was a massive undertaking to adapt and old 2d fan favorite to an Elder Scrolls style game

All that said CPA, I honestly say that FO3 is pretty skippable today. If you want to try a game out before FO4 comes out just get New Vegas.
 
I've done a little research so far regarding pre-ordering:

Amazon and Gamestop do not have FO4 up to preorder yet, and the gamestop link they provide is actually to the Italian version of Gamestop (at least when I select United States preorder).

Best Buy has it up, but all it says are the words "Fallout 4" and that you can preorder it for $60. No release date, cover art, or anything else provided yet. This will likely change soon.
 
cdkeys.com is legit right? Fallout 4 is 39.99. I'll be able to register it with Steam?

I have never heard of it and my first instinct would be no, I'll see if I can find anything about them though

Edit: Sounds shady, I wouldn't touch it

Actually if you read the whole thread, most say it's legit. No one reported that they had a bad experience. Just a couple people saying "No don't do it, they are stolen" but no proof to back it up. If it registers on Steam seems like it'd be fine, no?
 
I got Mad Max for $20 on cdkeys and some other game I am forgetting. Had no issues with them. Idk where the fuck they get the keys (they always sell new shit for like $20 off) and if any of it actualyl goes to the game developers, but all I know is that it's hella cheap and me likey

It's the age old debate, I know, but FONV was a skippable soap opera while FO3 is a mandatory experience if you like Elder Scrolls. :icon_chee
 
Hope that's an early build. Doesn't look much better than Skyrim did.

Fallout 3 was a melodramatic, lore-breaking mess of grey & brown textures and black & white choices. Fallout New Vegas is one of the best role-playing games of it's generation.

Still, I loved them both. :wink:

I think it looks much better than Skyrim. I kind of surprised by the negative comments about the graphics. I thought it looked great.
 
I ended up buying it from cdkeys. I don't get the key until the game is released but so far so good.

The textures look a bit sharper. I've watched it on two different screens now and came away underwhelmed by them both times.

I'm sure the game will be great, just a bit surprised that it doesn't look very next gen.

Just played both in the last year, and imo, they're both pretty much the same. New Vegas was more fun.
 
I think it's hard to tell until we see real time gameplay. I thought it looked good though.

I bought Mad Max from them recently and it works like a charm.

Almost didn't though because they asked for a photo of my drivers license to verify my identity. I thought fuck it, blanked out all the good stuff and left my name and address and that got me through
