If you can't afford to tip in the US then you can't afford to eat out.
Yeah really, I've read a few comments saying people can't do much with it so why are you wasting money eating out?

I tip when somebody deserves a tip. When somebody really puts forth an effort, they deserve a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, that shit's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job. Working at McDonald's is a tough job, but you don't feel the need to tip them. They're serving you food, you should tip them. But no, society says tip these guys over here, but not those guys over there. That's bullshit.
But considering they make their wages on tips (which is retarded and archaic), yeah.

Of course you're gonna get bored with the game if you try to speedrun the fucker on your first playthrough
Speed running on a first playthrough defeats the entire purpose of a video game.

It was a fetch quest.
Which allowed you to pick a faction that doesnt matter in the end.
'Insanely good'
What do you mean doesn't matter? Because you couldn't play the game after the ending?
Yes. It wasnt gripping enough to get me to think about the possible stuff that would happen with the faction you sided with.
If there was more quests after in which you started to shape things based on your faction it would have been a lot better.
Hell, it would have been better even if there were no quests after but shit changed outside of the strip.
I agree on the shaping of factions, but I don't think that stopped it from being gripping really, at least for me. It's probably because I'm thinking from a lore perspective since they both have so much history behind them. I think the better narrative examples though are things like the DLC and Dead Money.

It stands out in that the game presented you with real issues with a big money democracy, and an autocratic government, both with their perms and flaws. And in the harshness of a wasteland, it made you actually sit and think about it, and talk about the outcomes long after, along with advantages and disadvantages of both. Not even bringing the other to scenarios in it.
You sure we played the same game? Cause all the factions were pretty bare bones and not once did I have to actually sit and think about what I was going to do. Sure it had more variety than a game like Fallout 3, but that doesn't automatically make the story good. You need actual good writing and a good story to tell for that. None of the characters for the main story really felt like real people and most of them were really just plot vehicles. I honestly couldn't tell you the names of 90% of the characters central to it, that's how forgettable they are. Even then the plot really isn't much more than "gather support, fight at the dam, slide show about what happens due to your choices".
If a games story keeps you talking long after its done, I think it's done well.
I guess that means that Mass Effect 3's ending is a masterpiece because that little gem is still talked about today.
And on the flip side, I could easily tell you 90% of the characters names, I don't think they were forgettable at all. The writing WAS good, especially the DLC's. And no, I meant it in a positive way. New Vegas's story is still being talked about in a positive light. Mass Effect 3's ending is a meme at this point and people felt betrayed. There is a difference.

Spoiler think you read this wrong, to no surprise you massive shill, Youre not allowed to hate fallout if all you've done is play the main questline. That's not really enough time, especially if you just zoomed through.
The story of Fallout has always been bad. I really hope he/any of you didn't really expect different in this one?
But New Vegas's story was insanely good.
No it wasn't. It was slightly above average at best.
I disagree. I felt the factions and their ideological choices was far better and complex than just "good vs evil", and the build up to a war was great. It was a great homage to the original Fallout's as well.
That doesn't mean it was good. It was pretty run of the mill nothing special fam, nothing really stands out as exceptional in the story telling department.

And as mentioned above, the dlc story overall was amazingly done, with the lead up to Lonesome road capping it off.

His Dark Souls 2 critique is the reason I didn't buy the game.
He doesn't dislike Dark Souls 2 though, he just thinks it didn't live up to Demon's/Dark Souls, which he is right about.
I absolutely agree with that sentiment. It's just that a sequel should improve on the foundation of previous games, but the faults that Matthewmatosis describes show that FromSoft didn't really do that (Maybe because Miyazaki wasn't a director for it).
It did improve upon Dark Souls 1 though massively in terms of movement and combat. The level and boss design may not have been there, but the core gameplay was much improved.
Cept for those horrible hit boxes. Other than that though, yeah mostly I suppose. Though I am a bit annoyed your i-frames were tied to a skill rather than your weight. Glad that's coming back in DS3.

I agree he's not the best, but to say he's the number 1 worst is something I don't think is great.
Unless we're putting it with the context of the time. For example, it's easy to say James Buchanan was bad because he supported slavery, but at the time it was as controversial and flip floppy as abortion is with people today.
So yeah, if that's the case, maybe Bush was the worst.

Good analysis, but saying the game looks similar to 3/NV does not mean they are saying it's bad. I think you'd be fooling yourself to say 4 isnt mostly a continuation of the games on last gen. Shooting mechanics aside (which is an excellent and welcome improvement), this game functions almost identically to those games. No one is saying it's a bad game but simply put, it isn't groundbreaking like 3 was, because well; there isn't anything new here that is shockingly amazing. Just tweaks and refinements, which is perfectly fine.
Oh sorry. I kinda misread what you meant since and got a different tone. Yeah, it builds upon the foundations it build on Fallout 3 (which was completely different from the other ones), so there is nothing bad about that. The foundation itself was perfect, and improving it only serves to immerse you more.

Fine I'll admit, usually when it comes to RPG games I attend to do the main story first. I'll give this game a second chance (days and weeks) and if it's still disappointing then I'm done, if not then fine, I'll let this one slide.
That's quite the opposite of what everyone else does. They tend to get lost in the world. You seem to have ignored everything around you and approached it with tunnel vision rather than being dynamic.

Do the quests have multiple options in regards as to how you end them? And not just the main questline, but one-off quests as well? I'm not sure if you've played enough to be able to answer this, but do you know if your choices matter? Do you get perks for doing something ingame, like in NV where you'd get damage bonuses and the like from killing a certain number of an enemy type and do any perks that you know of have an effect on dialogue?
Don't think so in regards to the killing and perks in dialogue minus the male to female/female to male one. Dialogue selection isn't as in depth, but the voice acting/convo's themselves are fine. Quest wise, it's the same as it's ever been in Fallout games. At least so far.

Welp, after beating the game, I can say that I am very disappointed, its not a bad game but......... Dam, all that "almost getting a Fallout vibe" was all gone, fucking Bethesda, this year of gaming is starting to disappoint me.
If Fallout has a Bethesda stamp on it, I won't buy it.
And the so called "reviews" are clearly paid off.
how the fuck have you beaten it already
He probably only did the main story, while not doing other things. That's the only way he could.
oh I don't care what he thinks then
Now now, don't disregards someones opinions just because it's unpopular.
no I'm disregarding it because he has barely played any of it if he just did the main story
Oh right fair enough

Oh, and Fallout 4
You'll say as you sink 100+ hours into it.
I'll only do this with mods. Either way this game is nothing fancy or revolutionary, it's an ok game with a disappointing stamp on it.
But you only did the story and rushed through it. Your opinion of labeling the entire game "ok" while only playing a fraction of it is nothing short of skewed.

Dissipating
And the main story being something you don't like shouldn't suddenly negate all the other in depth things they've done I don't think.
And in the AAA gaming industry these days, whens the last time you saw a "revolutionary" game? That's just a buzzword now if you ask me. The older we get, the more pessimistic we get about games.

Well yeah there's the old ones as well. Just figured most people think of 3 and everything after, rather than 1/2/Tactics.
I'll actually answer your question for you. May be a bit biased, but I want to give more than just "lol no it sucks" or "omg it's good". Fallout 4 is similar to NV and 3 in that they are Fallout games with returning elements such as the Brotherhood of Steel, some weapons, enemies, etc. Typical things you'd expect from a sequel in an established universe. From a technical standpoint, it surpasses both of them. First off, the combat was the main focus they needed improving on, and they did. The gunplay feels fun now like your other FPS's and not so much a chore now a days. ADS is natural, sprint, dynamic cover system, bullet detection solid, and VATS adds a neat component in that not everything comes to a freeze, but goes in slow mo. My only complaint would be there is no bullet time that Project Nevada had, but it'll get modded in. In terms of depth, it far exceeds what the others did. You can modify your weapons and armor now by limb pieces instead of a whole thing. For example, the armored Vault 101 suit was famous in Fallout 3, but in this game you can actually put the pieces on yourself, CREATE pieces for it, and there are many different ones. Same with the weapons in that there are an abundance of choices for each part of each gun. Settlement building is also something entirely new, and actually fun to do. I'll just link you a video so I don't make this post longer and you get the general gist of it. As for companions, they are much better than they were in Fallout 3/Skyrim, where they were known for being rather on the boring side. They have personalities now, conversations pop up more as you travel with them, and they'll even contribute to your conversation with other NPC's on the side. Think of it like Mass Effect where you're doing a mission and talking to someone, and Garrus chips in as well. They are also pack mules so yay. My only complaint about them is the follow distance can be a bit far sometimes, so that can get annoying. I can't/won't comment on the main story as much because I feel that's up to you to discover, and I feel it's unfair to give an open world game like Fallouts/Elder Scrolls games (or even something like GTA) a main focus on story missions. I CAN say however, that it's like Skyrim in one way, and in a GOOD way. You'll run into people talking in conversations (by the way, when you talk to people, it's not always just 1 on 1. Other's can add to the conversation too and actually have back and forth going without the words overlapping) and mention something like say "I heard the so and so factory had so and so happen to it", and you'll get a quest in misc saying to go investigate it. Same with map markers in that talking to some random guard could mark a place on your map. So overall, I'd say this game is a vast improvement. Anyone who says it's similar and making it sound BAD, are simply looking to hate on it if you ask me. From a technical standpoint, none of the other Fallout games can even compare to it. Same with the amount of depth in this game. I think Bethesda took a lot of criticism from Skyrim (too shallow) and Fallout 3 (brotherhood was too white knight) to heart, and really showed they can improve on it. They also took direct notes from the modding community and added those things in the game as well (such as dynamic weather and Rad storms), showing they're willing to listen. And obviously mods are another thing. So yes, I'd say this game is worth your $60 if you're interested in the genre. It will give you hundreds of hours of gameplay, it looks beautiful, it's immersive (the ost's are amazing), and it still has some of the quirky humor Fallout games have, such as funny stories when sneaking and listening to random Raiders talk about stuff. Edit: And as mentioned before in comments, I'd go with what people here who you know have actually played it say, rather than some anon on some other website. You tend to get a better source that way.

And no, fallout 3 and New Vegas were boring pieces of shit. They only get praise nowadays because *LE OLD GAME IS SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAY JA JA JA JA
It's amazing how you both are wrong. Literally the only bad thing about Fallout 3 and NV aside from the graphics, was the gunplay, which was better streamlined in NV.

Rubio easily is the most charismatic of the group. I already said way earlier, but I think he'll be the nominee by the end of the day, and if Hillary gets nominated for her party (I'd love to see it be Sanders just to shut everyone up), she'd be in trouble.
Same way Obama won against McCain and it being a generational difference, it'll be that for Rubio and her.
