    I've been playing cyberpunk on a 5 plus year old xbox one and haven't had any issues at all, no freeze up, no major glitches, none at all really, and i'm 20 plus hrs into it, so its not as bad as some people say, there's settings even for consoles and by default they're all set to high and they all need to be turned off on older machines, plus they've had several patches already, but yeah its a graphics hog so on older machines some people are having issues but my xbox one is playing it very good with all the graphics settings turned off, but its a huge complex gameworld, more so than skyrim, or fallout 4 or GTA, 8 million people pre ordered cyberpunk, but its a great game actually, the city is probably 1000 times more detailed than boston in fallout 4.

    @Parasitic Phantom True, but doesn’t mean his experience is a sole exception either. I’m also playing on Xbox (One X, though) and having very few issues, it runs fine. Edit: there are at least a couple of AAA games released every year that are in bad state with as bad shit as quest breaking bugs (mainly Ubisoft games), that most of the reviews don’t even mention, only later report on huge fixes and mentions that there is way more yet to fix. And no-one complains. Yet nearly everybody feels almost obligated to shit on CP to some extent.

    They are preserved in a cryonic pod. They've been dead inside it for 60+ years. They'll be preserved for centuries to come. There's no need to bury them. They won't decompose any time soon and it's better than burying them to rot in the backyard. Someone who just lost their spouse and had their child kidnapped in front of them would probably not be thinking about hauling the frozen body through the vault, up the lift and back to the town to bury them. That's something they would do after or at the end of the main story when they've had time to process everything.

    True, but given the VERY wide usage of both robots and nuclear power (given it's Fallout, you know it's not going to be super safe), it's likely that all or most robots were made withe radiation shielding. Given the post war state of tue Commonwealth, the Institute almost definitely made synths shielded.

  • @falcongamingproductions9938

    @falcongamingproductions9938

    8 күн бұрын

    The synths do have radiation shielding, so they wouldn't get damaged or destroyed in the glowing sea. However, electromagnetic frequencies get disrupted in high radiation areas, so the synths would likely have no way to stay in contact with the institute, and also probably wouldn't be able to teleport directly into the glowing sea. This means they would have to teleport outside of it, make their way in, survive all its dangers, AND find who/what they're looking for without any outside help. THEN they would have to bring said item or person back out of the glowing sea in order to reestablish communications and be teleported back to the institute. They probably COULD do it, but the resource cost probably wouldn't be worth it in their eyes, which is probably why they hired Kellog to find virgil instead of a Courser since they couldn't find Virgil anywhere else

    If anything, the Railroad seems pretty consistent. I mean, in Fallout 3, the Railroad lady from the Rivet City quest literally just walks up to you and announces that she's in the Railroad and has been keeping an eye on you since you talked to the Institute guy that one time. She doesn't know going in if you're on the Institute's side or not. She just blabs everything to you immediately with no prompting and allows you to continue her side of the quest even if you outright tell her you're not on her side. The Railroad are impressively stupid and always have been.

    I’m not even scared to fight a deathclaw in FO4. In FO3 and NV they were impossibly fast and you were never going to outrun one. I planned out how I was gonna kill them in those games because it was actually a threat, in FO4 the pathing and movements make it a joke

    Not even just that. Their added movements, which do look good to be fair, utterly trivialize them even without needing to stop before attacking. Instead of an incredibly fast charge at the player and lunging attacks, the 4 deathclaws constantly move side to side evasively. But they are too big to be hard to hit, so they just give long periods of free damage to the player.

    I mean they must truly only care about gen 3s and consider Nick more like a mildly more complex protectron. Otherwise it makes no sense, but then Curie would fall into another gray area since she doesn't really hide that she's a Miss Nancy in a new body, as far as I remember she doesn't make sure that no BoS people are around before commenting on having a new body for the 30th time that day. I mean she has the same physical specs of a gen 3 synth and expresses the potential to love and expand on modern medicine with that new hardware, so it's not like she's neglecting the extra power she's packing underneath the hood. I never played an Institute run but I don't think BoS cares about X-77 or whatever the name of that synth companion is either. And come to think of it BoS never did anything to Strong, who isn't even a special case super mutant, just a regular dumb one who wants to find human milk so he can be stronger.

    I take it back, Bethesda writers just ignore the bigotry in gameplay because upsetting factions is scary. After all that's how they treated mutants in Fallout 3 and people didn't really point that out much, Fawkes and Charon weren't really challenged to get to walk through the BoS territory while the flaws of the faction and most people in the game was a hatred of ghouls and super mutants. I'll have to bring Raul around the BoS bunker in New Vegas and see how they react. Obsidian did have the sense to make a companion bow out of a segment or abandon/attack the player if the player's acting against their ideals.

    Nah it looks like laziness on Bethesda's part. Charon and Fawkes can head right into Ten Penny Tower. A strictly no mutant zone, and the wiki despite saying "yeah this can just happen without any questing." It doesn't mention any dialogue about people being fussed about having them in there or the Citadel. The wiki does point out dialogue about Lily and Raul being degraded and threatened by brotherhood members though, even if they get let into the base. The justification there is probably just that you can legitimately stumble into the brotherhood unaware so if you had Raul or Lily with you when that whole thing starts they'd need to use a "This place gives me the willies, I'm sorry but I'm not going in there with you." dialogue to stop you from instantly skipping trying to save the chapter for needing to eliminate it like every faction wants anyways.

That gate defended with mines and turrets and traps. Aha! I thought that is impregnable. No such luck. I happened to be there trading with Carla one time and an attack spawned. And all the raiders spawned INSIDE the fucking walls. Made the whole base building thing completely fucking pointless. Why bother building all these defences if they can just spawn in the fucking middle?

    I remember playing Fallout 4 when it came out and despite enjoying it, the feeling I got when I picked up power armour and fought death claw in the first mission was incredible disappointment. Even that early in the game, it already felt like I'd basically experienced what the whole game had to offer in terms of combat. Saving power armour for later in the game, maybe halfway through, would have made for a big game changer to keep things fresh whereas revealing the death claw so early basically makes most other enemies in the game feel lacklustre

  • @sator_project

    Ya know, they almost did a good job with the opening. They could give you the power armor, let you mow down the raiders, then have the deathclaw trash your armor before running off. It would both establish the armor as powerful, and the deathclaw as a real threat. Then the player would have a reason to go down 2 long quest chains, one where you fix the armor, and one where you track the deathclaw for revenge. And the last step to fix the amour could be a crucial part that was eaten by the deathclaw. You could either hunt the creature to finish your armor, or find the part elsewhere so you can have your rematch wearing the armor.

    Could go another route: You drive the deathclaw off, but it manages to utterly trash a portion of the breastplate and the underlaying frame. Later, upon repairs and revenge, you get a unique PA torso (Still slashed, but neatly patched up), and the PA version of a deathclaw gauntlet made from that specific deathclaw. You really want to go all in, you also get to use its scales to deck out parts of the PA. Having a deathclaw-coated T-45 sounds amazing.

Add in that your choice is either braving mutants and monsters to force your way into Diamond City as your main quest hub, or deal with Preston to get a few levels, and it's so freaking baffling.

    My least favorite thing about fallout 4 is the removal of crit chance. They straight up removed a playstyle when they did that, and made most weapons feel identical.

Now, you could call that broken but you at least have to plan the build out

    @redx no, even if they didn’t, it’s factual they have a son, a spouse, a backstory, and a purpose that you don’t get to choose. It made it really hard to immerse into my character when I was constantly having to account for these things when I was trying to craft a history or justify certain decisions. You get to “choose” how to pursue that purpose the game tells you your character has, but the storylines are extremely similar that the only difficulty you’ll have is whether or not you kill Maxson for his coat or kill Desdemona because she’s annoying. I’m exaggerating. You can always kill them both anyway. No, the only choice in the game I truly had to stop and think about was whether to join the institute or not since it’s the only faction that feels different than the others and because the game’s been telling you since you completed the tutorial that everything your character has done has been to find the aforementioned estranged son that’s now old enough to be your Father and even sometimes acts like he is. That’s how my experience was playing the game. Even if they didn’t have a voice. I like the voice acting in the game and actually enjoyed it. That is not the reason I say what I said about the game. I’m not saying the game is bad either. I really liked the game a lot and had fun every minute I played it. I understand it’s not exactly new, your character being given a purpose right at the start of the game. Fallout 1 says “go find a water purifier for us.” Fallout 3 says “go chasing after ya daddy.” Fallout New Vegas doesn’t even give your character a true purpose but it does tell you you were someone, but it’s so vague about what that role your character use to play that being a “courier” could mean just about whatever you want it to. I was a courier for high-speed bullets to brains. “DELIVERY! *shoots doc Mitchell in the face* Well, that’s my job done for the day.” But that’s it. And those things don’t really get in the way of being the type of character you want to be, but rather they’re just there in order to be a sort of foundation for the actual game. Fallout 4 tells you your character was a specific somebody before everything happened. Gives you a cutscene and everything (which feels particularly relevant if you play as a male). Tells you “your character cares a lot about their child and their spouse” and makes every storyline in the main story tailored to that. Which makes things feel off if you spent the first 40 hours of gameplay just doing what you wanted, like I did, because it’s suppose to be an rpg so I shouldn’t be feeling tied down by the main story if i don’t particularly care for it. There’s also a surprisingly small amount of quests in the game in general, it disappointed me when I finished the game and realized I had nothing to do, and I even checked the wiki against my completed quest list to make sure that was the case. You complete the objective the game gives to your character and suddenly there’s very little reason to keep playing, in the vanilla game, and even with some of the dlc’s there’s a case to be made for doing it before finishing the main story line since it will allow you to experience more of it. And what happened to the Karma system? Is that system even in the game now? Is it hidden? If it is, doesn’t that imply it’s not something the player needs to think about? In which case there‘s no need to worry if you’re the asshole one day and the nice guy the next despite how weird it feels to be so bipolar? No, the voice acted character is the least of my concerns when it comes to making the statement that it’s an action-adventure game, and not an rpg.

    @@HDGaminTutorials the voice acting isn’t really the reason that it doesn’t feel like an rpg. The most rpg-like content in the game is with the companions because, in regards to your relationship with them, your choices matter. The game’s already trying to funnel you towards specific choices by the time you get out of the vault. If anything I’d say the biggest thing that gets in the way of being able to call it an rpg is actually having a son, because you’re constantly having to justify why you’re doing certain things in regard to how much the game is telling you your character cares about them, and you’re eventually going to feel like what the game is telling you about your character and how you’re playing it are inconsistent, because you’re trying to play an rpg and the game’s saying “but I’m an action-adventure. Don’t you wanna go on an epic adventure to find the son the character I made for you cares about so much? Too bad, that’s what you’re gonna do because I didn’t put that many side-quests in the game, most of them aren’t worth a sneeze, and every faction you can join relates to the main objective I gave for you. So you’re either gonna do it or you’re not gonna run out of shit to do. I made sure of that, it’s *why* i didn’t put that many side quests in the game to begin with and *why* every faction is wrapped up in the main storyline. Yeah, we did that on purpose because we wanted to funnel everyone into giving a shit about the character I made for you.” - Godd Howard 2015 Look, I like to complain about Fallout 4 but I actually think it’s a fun game to play. It’s just, you can’t think too hard about it. In that way, it’s like anime. Once you think about it too much, you’ve lost. Lost interest, lost the desire to keep going with it, lost your goddamn mind with how stupid shit is sometimes, lost the plot, lost any care you had for the characters. So you have to turn your brain off if you wanna get the most enjoyment you can from it. And that’s not very rpg, considering rpg’s have been the types of games where you need to think about things before you just go and do them since the genre was first created. But do you know what genre of game is most enjoyable when you don’t think about it? The Action-Adventure. That genre of game usually wants you to not think beyond what it tells you because as soon as you do, is when you start to see the cracks and holes, when you start questioning things that stand out because they’re left unanswered despite feeling like an important question. Which is why the action-adventure doesn’t want you to think too much. Just like anime.

    @redx I mentioned the thing about fallout 3 already. And the nature of an rpg isn’t freedom, it’s actually restriction based on choices. Been that way since the days that rpg’s were just board games. You can’t just suddenly be something different because you feel like it. You choose the role you wanna play and the choices you make, how they impact the game, what paths they open up and what ones they close away, are a reflection of that role you’ve chosen. But action-adventure games allow you to experience every way you can play within one play through, like your character is some Demi-god that’s capable of absolutely anything just cause they’re the main character. Another similarity to anime lol. People misunderstand what an rpg is meant to be, it seems. A role-playing game isn’t a role-playing game if you’re *not* locked into the role you’ve chosen to play and you can just suddenly decide to be the exact opposite of what you chose at the start when you’re halfway through the experience. This is why Fallout 4 is not an rpg just because it has freedom. It’s exactly because you have that freedom, that it can never be an rpg. Think about some of the primary complaints about Fallout 4. For example, things like “I wish that I would get locked out of certain factions for joining others” or the way it’s more commonly put “why can I join the brotherhood if I’m already a part of the railroad, that’s stupid” (which I agree with that sentiment to a certain extent). That’s literally a complaint about a lack of a restriction that would typically be found in an rpg game, like how you can’t join the Legion if you’re in the NCR and vice-versa. RPG’s restrict your freedom in favor of making clearly-defined roles you can play. Hence the name, rpg. So I ask, where’s the roles you can play in fallout 4? Are they really only just “an asshole” and “not an asshole”, well not exactly. There’s “an asshole in the institute” “asshole not in the institute” “nice guy in the institute” and “nice guy not in the institute”. Wow, so many roles to play I wonder what I should do?

Unlike the player, they don't have a narrative design to guide them, they are an enclosed community that has a hard time understanding outsiders. So they are very wary and are using their advantages to make sure no threats will come from it, hence synth replacements. It is the same tactics modern scientists use to study animals by using robotic ones. And they are right - when another faction rises, even if it is just local militia, it can take them down, because the institute lacks a real military force. And no, being harmless won't help - it would only make them a high-value target. Second, they seek resources. This is when direct attacks happen.

Then if a settlement needs help there's people who can go defend it. But the way it is makes no sense. Not even the ridiculous amount of there's a settlement that needs help requests. You're building a group that will defend each other but you're the only one who actually does anything. What's the point of the minutemen if it's a one man army? When I first played I thought they were all main story quests. After hours of doing requests that came over the radio I had enough. You won't even be done with one before another starts. I finally looked up about it and felt so stupid I had been doing a revolving door of settlement quests and it just made me lose enjoyment for the game.

I thought unapologetically stealing game mechanics from other developers and their games were a-okay with how the batman-combat seem to be a thing in almost every combat-flow game to this day.

    That is actually pretty cool. Too bad I never knew, because nobody in the game *told me* Like, would it have been that much more dialogue to have Deacon (or whoever) say: "Hey, maybe you can get a Brotherhood uniform and sneak your way in."

    The character body/face changes should have been done after exiting the cryopod. Stumble about and find a mirror and make the changes there. But what do I know?

    Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
