theres no fasttravel, so saving outside of beds, so if you need those two features, there are mods i think. but id recommend just going for it vanilla, see how if the experience is something you even want to keep at.
It definitely makes the game a lot more fun if you've played it before but I wouldn't do it on your first go. The game can have some janky moments that lead to bullshit deaths and on survival this can undo hours of progress. For example the collision glitch where simply walking into the side of a car can cause damage, sometimes even killing you instantly.

Why the uptick?
Game sucked ass on launch and was a borefest.
Nevermind I googled it. Sloppywood show with a female protagonist and ruined by The Walking Diversification on the first episode instead of at least waiting for it to mature before ruining it.
Fallout tv show is introducing fallout to millions of normalgays that never heard of it before.
So the youtuber homosexuals from game, gpu, weapons, politics, etc. niches are all jumping on the fallout popularity wave...
Which has the snowball effect and makes fallout even more popular.
So normalgays jump on the Fallout 4 as 3 and 1and 2 are "too old" for them and 76 is an mmo.
the game wouldve been much much better very easily if bethesda just prioritized making the game a looter shooter primarily and scrapping the main plot. instead include 4 or 5 decent length fun side quests.
the game would have been much better if it didn't have any crafting and basebuilding. That's the number 1 reason that makes me not want to ever replay this game. It's otherwise pretty comfy and fun, but I absolutely hate how the base building is integral to the game.
>crafting
ok sure i can see that >basebuilding
lmao Black person what? you dont even have to deal with any of that ever and can ignore it. i dont even care about it at all and if the game didnt have it it wouldnt make a big change. theres so many other major problems with the game and this one aint it.
the story literally forces you to waste time reinforcing outposts and keeps annoying you with invasions where you have to help your outposts and repair damages etc.
Reminder that the "next-gen update" is just lifting the framerate cap and bumping up the resolution on consoles. For PC there will be no noticeable difference other than some bug fixes, but watch people still pretend the update "engoodened" the game like with Cyberpunk when they released a small update to coincide with the anime's release(not talking about the 2.0 update that came a while later). For some reason we have to do that when a game gets a TV show or anime.
>Reminder that the "next-gen update" is just lifting the framerate cap and bumping up the resolution on consoles
what's the point of that? Xbox already had FPS boost in FO4.
>The amount of people that think they're getting a full-on remaster with the update is crazy.
lmao who said this? ive never heard someone ever say this
Fallout 3 is not better than Fallout 4. This is just your nostalgia speaking. The gameplay is way worse, the piss filter graphics are revoltingly ugly and aged like milk and the story is not nearly good enough to compensate for that.
Yes, probably. Any mod that uses the Fallout 4 Script Extender (which is basically anything that isn't a simple 1:1 replacement) will break when the update drops. Once F4SE is updated, most mods will probably work fine with the latest version. Some mods may never get updated though because Fallout 4 is somewhat old at this point. There's a workaround to just enable mods to run with the old version of F4SE, but since the upcoming update includes a lot of big "next-gen" overhauls, it's more likely to break stuff. We'll see though.
There's no harm in disabling updates, waiting a few days to see how things shake out, and then enabling updates again later, if you don't care about having the update itself.
For 5 bucks, it's honestly a really good deal. 10 with all the DLC. There's plenty of shit out there that is way less fun and people will happily pay more to play. Patient gamers never lose.
It's basically a similar situation to the Skyrim Anniversary edition, where they include a bunch of creation club content, but this time it's included in the base-game instead of being a DLC.
Sure, it's free now isn't it? I tried playing it, but it was all too bland. Decided to say frick it, picked a direction and hope to find adventure or something. There were glimmers of fun, broke several quests, found some random loot like it was Borderlands and quit there, you might enjoy it more.
Some of the creation club items are unironically decent, they fit very well into the base game.
Obviously you shouldn't buy them, especially since they don't actually have any DRM, just download them and place them into your FO4 installation.
I stand corrected. According to Steam, I last played in 2018, so I don't think it was around then either, but idk. I would still probably suggest the casual player picking the game up for a little while rely on the update rather than go through this process. It looks plenty doable, but I could see plenty of people not wanting to bother following multiple pages of instructions.
It's a really forgettable game, not bad just not exceptional at anything it tries to do: graphics are alright, the world is alright, gunplay is alright, combat is alright, soundtrack is alright, quests are... Pretty shit, characters are terrible too, charisma vacuums all of them. Ok it's either bland or bad, the only things that it did better is the loot UI improvements (where you're shown the contents of the corpse/container you're looting just by looking at them without having to press anything) and power armor was cool. That's it. Oh and the Glowing Sea was indeed pretty memorable as it was the coolest location in the entire game, barren, desolate, hellish, just as ground zero of a nuclear warhead should be.
I liked 3 and NV way more. F4 is alright if you wanna burn a few hours before you get so sick of it you drop it entirely, its cons vastly outweigh its pros
Its fine.
I mod it so its more of a survival shooter than anything else and then build elaborate bases, largely ignore the quests, mod the power armor to be rare and take a lot more fuel, and add a bunch of more interesting weapons and armor options.
I don't think it would be good if you only get the vanilla experience, but modding makes it pretty cool.
yeah its decent
play survival mode for a comfy/infuriating time
should i play survival mode? what mods should go with it?
i was kinda joking with that post anon. if youre playing fallout 4 for the first time, survival mode is just gonna be painful.
i have hundreds of hours in the fallout franchise ive never played survival before
theres no fasttravel, so saving outside of beds, so if you need those two features, there are mods i think. but id recommend just going for it vanilla, see how if the experience is something you even want to keep at.
*no saving outside beds

The game can have some janky moments that lead to bullshit deaths and on survival this can undo hours of progress. For example the collision glitch where simply walking into the side of a car can cause damage, sometimes even killing you instantly.
Survival mode with just the weapons on back mod and the realistic scope mod
No more than 10 mods anon, restrain yourself
Get fallout 3.
No play starfield
Survival is surprisingly fun yet frustrating. Just make sure to enable saves before a bug fricks your run
Now would probably be the worst time since everything will break next week.

Not to mention that steam has them all on the front page right now
Show came out and Bethesda put the game on a sale to $5
no
yeah there's a New Vegas total conversion coming out, and Fallout: London too
Unless the new update kills it
These are the only reason I got the game
>Fallout: London
So it'll just be London?
HAHAHAHA!!! go frick a Black person, mutt
Calm down Mohammed
At least London seems to be British again.
>there's a New Vegas total conversion coming out
I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT
theres cascadia too which looks promising
Did the Miami one come out yet, kinda sad the Texas one died
>Didn't even released the fallout london mod before the show dropped
Absolute state of bethesda , they should close themselves down
>should i get one of the top rpgs?
Yes
Why play it now though? Isn't it getting a remastered version in like five days?
It’s alright. Just turn your brain off when you’re playing the main story.
Yeah.
Nah it's dogshit t.320h
you should buy a rope and have a nice day

yes that shits annoying but thats not even part of the story lmao. you can literally skip doing any of that shit.

The amount of people that think they're getting a full-on remaster with the update is crazy.
Absolutely.
>The amount of people that think they're getting a full-on remaster with the update is crazy.
lmao who said this? ive never heard someone ever say this
I'm enjoying it
Curie a cute
No, play 3 or NV. They're both miles better.
Fallout 3 is not better than Fallout 4. This is just your nostalgia speaking. The gameplay is way worse, the piss filter graphics are revoltingly ugly and aged like milk and the story is not nearly good enough to compensate for that.
Fallout 1, 2 > NV > FO4 >>>>> 3
People tell me this in conversations about 4 and I just sigh because those games suck too. 3d fallout is just so lame.
>3d fallout is just so lame.
turn based fallout is even worse. it has no gameplay.
>tempted to get 76 to frick around with a friend
should I?
Why not, literally any game is fun with friends. Just don't spend any money on it beyond what it costs to buy the game
Should i turn off Updates if i plan to mod during the next month?
Yes, probably. Any mod that uses the Fallout 4 Script Extender (which is basically anything that isn't a simple 1:1 replacement) will break when the update drops. Once F4SE is updated, most mods will probably work fine with the latest version. Some mods may never get updated though because Fallout 4 is somewhat old at this point.

wat
It's basically a similar situation to the Skyrim Anniversary edition, where they include a bunch of creation club content, but this time it's included in the base-game instead of being a DLC.
>Enclave again
why are they so obsessed with beating a dead horse?
Sure, it's free now isn't it? I tried playing it, but it was all too bland. Decided to say frick it, picked a direction and hope to find adventure or something. There were glimmers of fun, broke several quests, found some random loot like it was Borderlands and quit there, you might enjoy it more.
76 is free, not fallout 4
if you have Amazon prime then fallout 76 is free but its a code for the microsoft store LMAO
its the same, the data is shared between steam and the store
any vanilla+ mods that add new items that arent blatantly broken?
Some of the creation club items are unironically decent, they fit very well into the base game.
Obviously you shouldn't buy them, especially since they don't actually have any DRM, just download them and place them into your FO4 installation.
do i have to mod the game? i heard this game has fps problems regardless of hardware in certain parts of the game.
just wait until the update
The update might address that stuff. Mods won't. Modding the game is more if you want custom gameplay stuff than for stability.
>Mods won't.
lmao i can tell you dont mod. or you play on console or some dumb shit
I got the game when it came out on PC, but I see now that stuff like this exists:

It's pretty bad honestly. Very dull weapons, terrible dialogue and RPG mechanics.
Play NV or fallout 3
yes, that way when you boot up the game you can make another thread about how the playercount number changed
Yes, it's shit but it would be hilarious that you get a game just because Ganker said so

gonna mod it, i dont know if ill just do stalker slop again or closer to vanilla
An okay FPS that is also a crafting sim because Todd's kids liked minecraft
Mods don't really fix the game tbqh
I was considering it, but god the mod scene never took off for this game, most things are powersuit recolors
Its fine.
I mod it so its more of a survival shooter than anything else and then build elaborate bases, largely ignore the quests, mod the power armor to be rare and take a lot more fuel, and add a bunch of more interesting weapons and armor options.
