War Still Hasn't Changed...
 

ITS HAPPENING

Internet spends the last year working itself into a frothing, rabid frenzy over Fallout 4 hype, entirely generated by itself.

Trailer comes out, internet immediately rages that it's made by Bethesda and make unfavourable graphics comparisons with GTA San Andreas hands. It did not live up to the hype people created for themselves.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, I had no preconceived notions about a hypothetical Fallout 4 and so far this trailer makes me fucking hyped

These formatting tags are annoying to enter on a phone keyboard.
 

Considering the oblivion engine was shit and Fallout 3/NV were both fantastic on that, and the Skyrim engine is considerably less shit and this will LIKELY be on that, I'm pretty excited for this.

Hoping that they might let Obsidian have a run with the engine after releasing 4, though.

Same thing happened with the Witcher 'downgrade' controversy which was SO STUPID
 

You know what makes me hate the label of calling myself a 'gamer' almost as much as the misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, regressive dipshit excrements of human beings who've co-opted the term?

All these gamers who are OBSESSED with graphics.
Like seriously, somehow this game isn't as perfect as Witcher whatever the fuck so it ain't going to be amazing? The game looks phenomenal, has great aesthetics, blows Fallout 3 and New Vegas out of the water in that regard, but you're not going to play it because it could've looked better if it was a PC exclusive, or characters still look kind of awkward and unrealistic?!? You're going to cry and moan and rage against Bethesda on some message board because IT'S NOT WORTH THE HYPE?

I'm still playing and enjoying the crap out of New Vegas NOW. Who the living fuck cares that characters look a bit wooden and stiff, and the environment looks dated? New Vegas is worth replaying because it's an incredible game, even now, in 2015.

Video games are being ruined by entitled jerks who are LIVID that there isn't a modicum more pixels portraying character faces. Ruined. Eventually development costs are going to reach a point that the industry may well crash while entitled gamers demand MORE MORE MORE GRAPHIX like toddlers in a toy store. And all the while the best games of every generation aren't even the prettiest ones!!!

Look I'm all for wanting your games to look the best they can, I understand the appeal of great graphics cards. But there isn't going to be this perpetual dream of exponentially better graphical fidelity for all eternity. Shit's going to be impossible pretty soon. A game that looks this good would've been beyond or imaginations in 2000 and would've blown our minds in 2009. Why the fuck are 'gamers' as a community entitled to more, entitled to white male heterosexual protagonists with beautiful love interests and THEIR FACES BETTER BE RENDERED WITH TWENTY TRILLION POLYGONZ?!?

Is there any more selfish, spoiled, privileged, idiotic fan base out there than gamers on their pissant message boards? Makes me almost feel something resembling empathy for the Ubisofts and EAs of the world. If these 'gamers' are the ones they scam with preorders and DLC and always-online maybe we deserve it.

I am so hyper-stoked right now. Just heard about it through my book of faces, which has proven to be like only the third time in my personal history that the thing has actually provided a use.

The main thing is that I will be able to snipe super mutants again. The fact that those mutants will have more polygons is pretty great, but secondary to the sniping and the super-mutantness.

There's always going to be that vocal group complaining about shit. People on the internet have been in an uproar lately about game trailers being over-hyped CGI shit that shows nothing about the game. Fallout 4's trailer is almost exclusively in-game footage and people are still throwing a fit. Although honestly I'm seeing more comments of people complaining about the complainers, so I guess I'm managing to avoid the places on the internet where the terrible gamers congregate.

The graphics are as good as Ill ever need 'em, especially since its an open world game.

This right here couldn't be more true.

I've also seen fans fearing that it's not going to bring anything new to the table.
