The Five Stages of Video Game Disappointment

[jamestkirk]

I'm somewhat gratified that I am not the only person that was sorely disappointed with this game. Graphics from 10 years ago. Dull characters. Boring quests. About the only thing it had going for it was a large universe. I can almost hear the fan boys. "But...but it's Bethesda. It's good. It's not about the graphics. You just didn't like the game...etc." Hey guys as long as we are willing to pay for crap they will keep shoveling it to us. I for one wouldn't waste my time pirating this game. Sure hope Skyrim 2 is better cause I loved Skyrim.

I signed of on this game quite quickly.. too bad,I was looking fwd to it.. but the disappointment here was nothing compared to Obsidian Ent. Armoured Warfare.. They've reached out and found a way to get to a new low in game dev. I'm not sure if it's the Russian backers or just OE's staunch resistance to hiring on any sort of actual military advisor's for the game , but it's awful. YOU allow yourself to trust that when they say , it will get better, it does.. but what ou get is actually worse. Where as FO4 was cut and dry, " yeah this is really bad".. with AW.. they dragged you along, like some poor fool trapped under a bus that doesn't know your there.

Wow .... all this has me convinced that I'll wait until Steam lists it on the $5.99 table before I buy it!

I agree. Waste of time. I was disappointed when I opened the collectors edition box. I paid 60 extra pounds for a F*ing piece of chinese plastic that broke at the first touch. And then I was excited for the game. Played for a few days, restarted, changed character, played again for a few days. And then I installed SwordCoast Legends and was astonished that it got to me that quickly, at least the first part that actually tried to have a story...been playing ever since...almost one month and I haven't touched Fallout 4...a building simulator that does not allow you to demolish bushes and make only crap buildings...why in hell would I want that in fallout...the story is crap...zero for the beginning ...it is so weak that I only gave it a chance for the graphics...
Bethesda ruined everything by trying to make a single player feel like an MMO. Single player needs a story and good characters.

There is the certain insipid rant that pertains to games that people are so willing to dump on for a game franchise has no end to its inception; As we can see, so many compare a game's continuing series to another game's last hurrah - and it is interesting since it reveals the opinion's limited mindset and ineptitude for the bigger picture. Games such as the Witcher 3 were awesome since the game developers consider it that last in the series - therefore, to make it its best is the one thing that it needs it to be - no more hiding tricks inside the sleeves, like no more delays to include that standardized tech in the next Apple phone version, so to speak. Fallout, on the other hand, is like that Apple Phone - no matter how much you want to have the next best feature to be added to it, they'll forgo that until the next version to keep you going for it. It's not Like Fallout 4 will be the last and greatest - they will not ****ing put it all in - not for the lack of trying, but in the sense that pacing it into the next version of the game will make sense, since everybody will obviously go for it. We still have DirectX 12 (thank AMD for pushing that) and VR, and so much more will come.

MODS? MODS will stay because it gives INTELLIGENT gamers the will and means to give and share more content to the gaming community for the game they love to play - and it makes this more interesting in the long run. It's like putting you in a gigantic sandbox and do what the **** you want to do - and the people around you will decide if what you do is fine for them or not, since they'll want to try out what you do as well, as opposed to herding a group of smart guys into a sandbox surrounded in chain link fence, threatening them to do what you want them to do for the game, or else (familiar to fanbois who give death threats to devs who didn't do what they want to be in the game).

LOL, nitpicking was always an interesting thing to see in the internet, it's like they thought they had something better to offer than the devs - maybe they do - but what the hell, such is life. As always, my opinion is just the same at the other - like having *** holes - we all have them.

I like games as they are - games. Not something that guides my principles & decision making processes in my life . But hey, some actually do.

The age of shallow people, like buying a fancy keyboard - is this supposed to make me a better person? did I design anything? no you just forked some money that you would have spent on Mcdonald's or a night at the pub and never give a sh*t about it being wasted on nothing..lol

but we cry if a game doesn't meet personal expectations for the money that YOU throw away every week for less

FO4 is a modders base for expanding an engine and they provided a storyline with it
people like myself will revel in modding fun and expansion over time, like Skyrim it will be damn awesome.
the consoler generation is really shameful unfortunately .. either that or they spend way too much time posting rubbish and so little learning..

Yup. Fallout 3 was my favorite game of all time. Bought into the hype a bit too much and now Fallout 4 just doesn't wow me. It's definitely not a bad game but as one of the other comments said, sometimes we grow up and realize it's just a game. I finished the main story and maybe won't play anymore. Maybe in a few months I'll try again.

What I hate a that show 1st player details and high graphix and then when you get to the game its some 3rd person over the top game instead like a board game
