New Vegas and can't even compare. I could never beat 4 because for some reason the script kept breaking on me and I couldn't complete missions. Damn game was so flaky that friendly people would just randomly attack me out of the blue for no reason.

Frankly I don’t recall that being a thing, but I was also never very thorough in my playthroughs. I just liked blowing shit up and hunting. ETA: I’m so lost on what this comment is talking about. There’s the capture party stuff where you get kidnapped before your showdowns with the bosses, but I don’t remember capturing anyone for a mission. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GlutealCleft: I sometimes stay awake at night, wondering just how many more times I could have had "Just kidding, you lose everything, now start over!" pulled on me.  One of my favorite memories of the game was running on my horse along a trail at night, and some douchenozzle on a horse coming the other way ran right into me, and it killed him. So, immediately, the po-op was out for me, because... IDK, they're clairvoyant. So I dismounted and started carrying the body away to hide it, because I dindu nuffin. RIGHT THEN in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT comes ANOTHER person who sees me carrying the body, and starts screaming and running to the cops. So I drop the body, mount up, and go after this snitch. I don't want to kill him, because I'm not a killer, I'm just misunderstood... so I lasso the dude and start tying him up. AGAIN, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, ANOTHER RANDOM CITIZEN COMES TROTTING DOWN THE TRAIL, because evidently, that's how things are in the middle of nowhere in early America. They see me lassoing this dude and start screaming and running for the cops. At this point, I'm fed up with this bullshit and shoot them, shoot the dude I've lassoed, and start hiding the bodies.... AND ANOTHER DUDE COMES ALONG RIGHT THEN. So a bullet they get. AND ANOTHER PERSON. AND ANOTHER. I spent a good solid 40 minutes just slaughtering countless droves of people who just *happened* to be out for a stroll in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night, honestly just trying to get them to quit coming so I could stop slaughtering and get back to my business. Eventually, the cops showed up, and I killed them and started running for all I was worth. It was wild. I don’t know. I’ve killed more cops, bounty hunters, and random npcs than I can remember. I’m at the point where I like to see how high I can get my bounty. |

These days, there are patches/mods that fix the great majority of the bugs. |

NV is the better game.
Fall Out 4 has better graphics, gameplay, weapons, and a great open world. Despite all of this the characters and storyline of NV makes it the better game. |

You’d take an outpost and before you even had time to leave, the enemies would respawn and attack you. Kidnappings: 5, as explained by others. There's a progress bar as you finish tasks that show when the next one will happen. I try to avoid it as long as possible for an FU to the game I think the review complaint you mentioned might have to do with one boss that requires you to finish a run and gun section a few times with a time limit. It's not super hard but can be annoying. Once the boss from the region is dealt with you can do whatever you want in the region as you like. Ammo changing: 6, and one of the reasons I hated the game, plus IIRC it felt a lot less realistic due to stupid health bars. Enemy respawns: Definitely 2  But, 2 is set in Africa. You can clear a checkpoint then come back a few minutes later and it's populated again. But think about it in real life... do they ever stop spawning? 2 is definitely worth a play sometime, it has a much different feel than the others and shit goes sideways in it even faster. ETA: Actually I just remembered that the forced kidnappings are similar to a story mechanic in 2, that's probably where they got the idea. |

Fallout New Vegas was one of the best games ever created, and beats Fallout 4 by country mile, I would say Fallout 3 was better than 4. In for the story sucks ass, and you don't really get to decide anything for anyone.
If I could have shot Preston Garvey the first time I met him, the game would have been way better. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Alex_F: Fallout was one of those games I wanted to get into based off of reviews but couldn't after I actually bought and installed it. Does it get better? Which one? Most of the Fallout games have a forced tutorial/opening area that you need to navigate before you can get out into the open world. The one in Fallout 2 is particularly bad. New Vegas is one of the rare ones that doesn't have one, it just dumps you outside Doc Mitchell's house and says "good luck". You can get a semi-tutorial through Sunny Smiles, but it's completely optional. They get much better once the tutorial is completed. |

Well, downloaded the next-gen release of Fallout 4 for the PC.
What a disappointment. The one thing, literally the only thing, I wanted them to fix is the load times. Fallout 4 has horrible load times, even when running from an SSD, when transitioning from one area to another. It is most noticeable when going into a building from outside or vice versa, it can take 30 seconds to a minute to load, because apparently disk access is tied to the physics timer. They fixed it in Starfield, which had some of the fastest load times I have seen on modern titles, but apparently Bethesda didn’t bother back porting that. But at least I can spend money on content creations that are free downloads outside of their store. |

Both great. The setting of fallout 4 and the world, power armor, far harbor were all fantastic. Just great world building. The idiotic consoleizing wasn't appreciated though. Not the best storytelling either. The exception to that was the storytelling done in the world and not voiced. The consoles and their documents, item placement, and unsaid things were awesome. Some of their best work imo. I didn't like the perks, thought they were mostly lame.
New Vegas is a better story and it's told better. Gameplay was worse, but it's an older engine. Or version of the engine. I liked the setting and characters, even if some were too over the top. Fallout 3's retarded bullet sponging was terrible. Still haven't beaten it and now that I have a baby I probably never will. Fallout 1 and two were awesome. Absolutely terrible interface though. Just awful. Didn't stop me from beating the first one. Never did get completely through the second one. Even as an old dos gamer I can no longer stand a poor interface. It reminds me of a program you company buys and it turns out they only have five customers because every other company is too smart to get roped in without a test run by the people who would actually use it. |

NV has better writing but the gameplay is pretty poor much of the time, and it's easily the most bugged game I've ever played. Even with fan patches it crashes multiple times a gaming session.
Fallout 4 was the first Bethesda game I played that never crashed on me unless I was abusing mods, and the shooting is actually decent. The world is good and the writing is ok for the most part. I prefer it as a game. |

I prefer Fallout 4, but New Vegas isn't exactly "bad". F04 plays better and looks better and I consider it one of my favorite games of all time. NV is good, but it also shows its age. In FO4 I like that weapons and armor don't deteriorate and the weapon mods and perks are better too, at least I think so. Some people might not like this because it's not like other Fallout games, but constantly having to eat/drink/fix weapons and armor can get old. That should be an option (perhaps with more XP gained) and not a requirement to the base game, kind of like how FO4 survival mode is optional for those who are really hardcore.

FO4’s biggest issue is Boston sucks, regardless of setting. Even in a fantasy destopian post-apocalyptic future, Boston is just annoying.

I'm not the first person to make this observation, but Fallout as originally envisioned is fundamentally a Western. The settings and general ethos of 1, 2 and NV just fit better than the Midwest, DC, or Boston.

Your decisions directing determine who wins the war for control of the country. That seems pretty impactful to me. |
