          There are plenty of games that feel true to their roots without needing to feel like the same thing. 1 and 2 came out almost 30 years ago. While they’re good games, there are other ways to explore those kinds of stories than by just replicating those two.

          • og fallout humor is timeless…

            to my utmost shame I have to admit that I preordered it. it was not only a slap in the face for all fallout fans but also all gamers. bethesda put zero effort into this cashgrab.

            • theres no way you can see the detailed world and say thats zero effort. its like the best world bethesda has ever crafted. its huge, vaired, and interesting. regardless of the games own failings, its definitely not a zero effort release, otherwise they would have given up on it years ago

              • Oh no, there’s absolutely effort put into the graphics. It’s just everything else that’s missing.

                The overall writing and direction in Bethesda’s games is piss poor as they haven’t prioritized it in some time. Even TES suffers from this. But I guess that’s more about the crowd they’re trying to appeal to.

                It’s all cool if you like Bethesdas version of the Fallout world. But not everyone else subscribes to it.

                And for reasons that are quite valid. As Beth’ has deviated far from the roots of the franchise.
