    Fallout 76, just a cash grab we shouldn't worry about or something more sinister?

    Oh yeah, they are. Well, Blizzard/Activision/Bungie, EA, Valve, And Microsoft. This is ZeniMax's stab at a game as a service - their WoW, their CS:GO, Their Anthem / Destiny / Halo: Infinite. If 76 goes to plan? There will be no Fallout 5. Just an acceptably profitable zombie perpetually...

    The voice acting is intentionally bad

    It's not intentionally bad but it is intentionally atonal. They make the actors say their lines like they've taken a fist full of ambien so they can copy and paste scenes around in the creation kit at will without any jarring emotional jumps. Bethesda doesn't just let an actor do their craft...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    Here's what you should do; Grab a copy of GURPS from Steve Jackson Games, grab the Fallout GURPS conversion book, grab a couple friends. Make the Fallout you always wanted to play, how it was always meant to be played in the first place. It's been very good therapy for me and my friends, we...

    Would people be interested in contributing to NMA's Fallout 4 and DLC review?

    Aw, that's a shame. Is it just having trouble setting it up right, or does your gmail contain personal info in it? You could still make a throwaway account just for the Doc. Well I was going to add a couple things after seeing if anybody else wrote about them and when I was sure to have some...

    Words.

    Trying to listen to the internet is akin to trying to listen a schizophrenic with a microphone. But don't worry, Bethesda can get out of this rut. All they have to do is use their intuition fine tuned from over 15 years - phhhftt ha ha ha! of- ha ha quality RPGs! Hah! Who cares that you made...

    Would people be interested in contributing to NMA's Fallout 4 and DLC review?

    Not to tell you how to live your life or anything, you do you, but if you really want to have an open collaboration sort of deal on this I would highly suggest a Google Doc open to the public in Suggestion Mode. That way, instead of having to manually splice everyone's random thoughts together...

    What FO4 left (Spine with potential?)

    Well, it's not Ride to Hell. It is a 6/10 all things considered objectively. Though I find it unfair to judge it objectively since Todd Howard invited you to believe the game would cure cancer at E3. It's a sin only because it delivers an experience that's entirely irrelevant to the established...

    I think Nuka World and Far Harbor were quite good.

    The thing is that you don't shift and become a raider in Nuka World. You just simply play the convictionless sociopath you have always been the entire game. All this DLC does is put that facet of your protagonist under a ginormous magnifying glass and retroactively makes the main game story...

    Why yes, I am constantly shitting myself in rage! It's a real problem in social situations! >:U

    Please help me understand Bethesda's decisions

    Or, he's been so busy marketing and managing he hasn't touched a game not made by his studio for at least a five years, and all the RPG instincts have deteriorated. But he's blind to it. Kanye West was excellent at promoting himself and dropping iconic albums. Now he is only good at one of...

    Please help me understand Bethesda's decisions

    This is one of those things I really want to break out the lab coat and beakers for. How much difference would there have been in Fallout 4's release had there been no super-hardcore fans running wild in the streets and telling every able body they could find that Bethesda was about to bring...

    Please help me understand Bethesda's decisions

    Well, You can give Bethesda all the money in the world and a gift of Obsidian practically making them a blueprint of success, doesn't matter. Can't fix arrogance. Todd Howard is a good manager. An extremely good manager. Though he is only as talented as the people under him. But all the...

    Awww, man, you guys. I just came across the most pitiful thing. :'( In kiddie land that magician ghoul in the trailer is taunting you as you go though his crazy fun house of death (Cliche). You get to a point where it's supposed to mirror room maze - except it's all clear glass.And then the...

    So has any good come from Fallout 4 in the modding community since launch?

    Well i'm sure you can find something on the bounty that is Bethesda.net! It has a whopping 3,135 mods! Perhaps the Harambe Companion is exactly what you game was missing? Well, if not, then you are shit out of luck because 90% of the mods on that site are about that gorilla, jesus christ.

    Fallout 4 went from Mostly Positive to Mixed in recent reviews

    I still say a voiced protagonist could be done in Fallout with the right framing. If the main character was a backgroundless drifter like The Man with No Name from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, the type of guy who says little but whatever he does say or do is really profound or badass, then...

    Fallout 4 went from Mostly Positive to Mixed in recent reviews

    I think above the negative reviews, the thing that got through to Todd Howard was that the first created and most downloaded mod by a factor of millions was a mod that did only one thing; completely dismantle the four option wheel, which was the feature that he pushed the hardest for. I think...

    Fallout 4 went from Mostly Positive to Mixed in recent reviews

    The general audience can still be left feeling disappointed and ripped off, even if they don't have a faculties to properly articulate it. It was the same thing for the Star Wars Prequels, which never surpassed the hype of the Phantom Menace by a long shot in the box office.

    Fallout 4 went from Mostly Positive to Mixed in recent reviews

    I don't see how this would retain the shooter kid audience. The weapon customizations are lame, the classes of weapons are too overgeneralized for the multiplayer shooter fans who like to get their class loadout specialized juust right, the perks don't add to the power fantasy, the main...
