There are bugs in both, but I can tell you what, FO4 ran like butter straight out of the box in vanilla state for my PC, definitely cannot say the same for FONV, even today. *FO4 lets you build your own towns if you so please. *FONV had no way to create your own settlements nor ability to truly customize the world outside modding. *FO4 has an immersive storyline as well, however, the factions are highly scripted “there’s another settlement.blah blah blah” * FONV had an incredible immersive story line that made you really think about the characters and factions.

Yes there are some parts I wish were better.

Any game that can keep me hooked for 400+ hours is AAA+ in my opinion. And as cool as it’d be to play another Obsidian Fallout, the current question is: where will Bethesda take Fallout 4 next? I’m looking forward to finding out. Hopefully, it will mean that Bethesda won’t just rest on its laurels, won’t just ride the wave of Fallout 3‘s commercial success. Something about that feels cruel to Bethesda, and makes it easy to lose sight of the many things Bethesda’s Fallout games have excelled at, like competent shooter mechanics, a lush, lively world that’s fun to explore, and a intensely addictive settlement system that lets us customise things to our own liking.Īfter some of the more negative reactions to Fallout 4, and the accompanying clamouring for a new Obsidian Fallout, it feels like Bethesda has something to prove with Fallout 4’s DLC. Personally, I don’t want to get too swept up in the idea of a game that may never exist. They like speculating about dream game locations. We do the same thing for series like Grand Theft Auto, Assassin’s Creed, and The Elder Scrolls. I don’t fault people for getting excited about where Fallout could go next. Fallout 4 is more about combat and exploration, and I’d argue it’s pretty damn good at those things, too. The game just focuses on different things. That’s not what Fallout 4 is…which is not to say Fallout 4 is “worse” than New Vegas. Why does this happen? Clearly, people are hungry for the sort of game New Vegas delivered - that is, an experience focusing around RPG elements, and a rich, choice-driven post-apocalyptic story. It’s in every comments section for the Fallout 4 articles we post, I see it on Reddit a whole lot, and I’ve been emailed petitions about Obsidian and future Fallout games many, many times. It sometimes seems as though you can’t talk about Fallout 4 without having someone start talking about how good New Vegas is, how much they wish Obsidian, rather than Bethesda, handled modern Fallout games.
