You sir, are a moron. Just wanted to say that New Vegas really did it well with 2/8 of your companions being gay. It wasn't obvious or in your face, and not just because you can sleep with them or whatever. It just came up casually in dialogue and wasn't a big deal. As if its a normal thing...

I really like this. Another example I guess is the guys who run vault 21 as a hotel? Just wondering how the Courier's revenge mission against Benny fits into all this?

After reading so much about Fallout 4, I really want to go back and play New Vegas again. The problem is that I've played it so much, I'm worried about knowing it too well. I've played with a few mods before (e.g. TWW alternative start, bug fixes, New Vegas Uncut, NV Bounties, For the Enclave)...

I literally do not believe this at all. My brain has just rejected the possibility that this is true because it is so repugnant.

Is this for real? Did they actually bring Liberty Prime back?

Says the guy taking his free time just to post on a forum to tell them he doesn't like them

Just because I expect a lot of people to say this kind of thing i.e. we can't judge the game before we play / buy it - that's patently not true. We make our judgement whether a game seems good or not as part of our decision whether to buy it, which is based on reviews, trailers, streams, lets...

It is true that a game can be amazing, in spite of its bugs and crashes. I certainly agree with you about that over New Vegas. However its still odd how many of the reviewers mention all of the faults and bugs, but without it seeming to affect their scoring of the game. Its hard to find, in...

The good thing about FO4 is that it has reminded me how good New Vegas was. Will have to replay it soon!

I'll be honest, I hadn't read all of them in detail. By no-one, I just meant the majority. From what we've seen so far, the majority do not mention New Vegas at all, and consider FO3 to be the most recent Fallout game. Comparison to New Vegas are at least as warranted as ones to Skyrim, surely.

Its a shame so many reviewers compare it to FO3 or Skyrim, and not to New Vegas. I mean one review (RPS I think) was going on about how they had improved companions, but surely they are a step down from New Vegas? Not a single mention of New Vegas in most reviews. Also I'm sure the New Vegas...

Definitely the Polygon review, how can it refer to so many faults and still give it a 9.5? Bethesda, Bethesda Never Changes

Even if we accept these viewpoints, I think the view that Fallout 4 is a terrible game is inescapable. If we only compare Fallout 4 to Fallout 3 and make generous assumptions, its still a bad game. Voiced protagonist and simplication (understatement of the century) of skills at least have...

Is there like a "what we know so far" summary of FO4 so far anywhere? Or am I just better of not knowing?

Just out of interest, how good of a game does Fallout 4 look from the streams if you just treat it as a borderlands-like game, and removed all fallout reference? How good is it at what it aims to do?
