Fallout 4: "Regurgitated" Anniversary Edition

[woodsman30]

Big surprise regurgitated games yet again it seems that is all they can do

I'm not really sure why you would be surprised or why this is even noteworthy. It's not as though is a new game using recycled assets. It's just an all-in-one bundle that gets you the game as well as all the dlc and apparently ~150 creation club mods. I'm not saying it isn't a cash grab but there are consumers who haven't played the game before and would rather just be able to buy the whole kit and kaboodle all at once rather than deciding if they want to purchase and hunt down each dlc. They did the same thing for Fallout 3 but I don't think they did it for Fallout New Vegas although Steam does have a bundle for that game that gets you everything. They also did a "game of the year delux edition" for Oblivion as well.

It's just Bethesda being Bethesda.  Nothing to write home about.

Demonwise,

Well, with Skyrim having 2000+ hours of gameplay without doing the main quest, and FO4 only having about 400 hours including the main quest; All that extra 'trash content' is about up to par with the rest of the game. Because it's all about on the same level of FO76 style of gameplay; Go here, read note, go here, pick up item, never look at item again.

 

Sure mods make FO4 worth playing; But NOT the CC mods. Plus after the "Next Gen" patch that broke the game itself; I don't know how many people even could, still be interested in playing it if they hadn't yet.

 

The real sad thing about all this is that; Civ4 was also built on the old GameBryo engine; And it don't have any of the crashy, buggy, nonsense, that almost every single Bugthesda game has. Well, unless you try and change your screen resolution; But how often does anyone do that? So it's tolerable.

Funny thing is, even the pre AE Fallout 4 was at least semi functional; on Playstation it's a fucking nightmare and with bugs across the board on every other platform which make the game virtually unplayable. I know it was only a few years back, but was Skyrim's AE release this bad or is it just that people are paying more attention now? (I wouldn't really know; I set my Skyrim directory to read-only and changed it's name, so I was never a victim of post 1.5.97 shenanigans).
