Keep in mind that a lot of people are exaggerating with the "it's just a shooter now" claims. FO3/FO:NV/FO4 are basically the same game. It has the same engine, though FO4 has a ton of improvements in terms of mechanics. Most of the stuff they took away wasn't that meaningful and some of it was for the better. "Karma" wasn't very good at all and made little sense in NV. Most stat checks meant you just had to carry around clothes with +science or whatever, eat some stat enhancing food, and take some stat enhancing drugs. That's the exact opposite of being immersive and also a drag. Fallout: New Vegas did have a better atmosphere and setting, more imaginative main quest, and chance quests were more interesting. On the other hand, Fallout 4 blows it away in terms of content and things you can do--or ignore, if you want. Relative to game-play, scope of content, variety of content, and mechanics, FO4 is a massive improvement. I'm playing FO:NV right now, in fact, and it's kind of a struggle after FO4. In FO4, there is always something for you to do. In the older games, though, you spend a lot more time wandering around looking for something, or getting frustrated because there are so many cliffs and mountains that you need to get around. Most people who play Fallout 4 first will probably like it the most. |
Sounds good. I plan on getting fallout 4 but not any of the earlier ones
