All I remember from that but was tits slams the brakes on the conversation to take a phone call. ME: we got an ex military guy who was in Iraq and even he said the game was too disturbing. The caller of course added nothing and clearly had no military experience and just wanted to talk about the game.
So here's a weird thing. My Frankenstein PC is pretty ancient (graphics card is an old Radeon HD 6950 from 2010), but it's held up pretty well over the years. I can play Witcher 3 with most features cranked up except for medium textures, and it looks gorgeous except for some hitching in Novigrad. Similar situation with Dragon Age Inquisition.
But Fallout 4 is flat-out unplayable for me on all but the lowest of settings, despite being far behind Witcher 3 and Inquisition graphically. As soon as I approach the bridge towards Concord, the game starts running at like 5-6 seconds per frame, and even then, the textures never quite pop in all the way (the murals in that freedom museum were just grey blurs to me). How did they manage to get subpar graphics that actually demand more from the hardware than games that look twice as good?
Combined with the voiced protagonist, I'm pretty down on Fallout 4 despite having only played it for two hours.
Yeah there's a name for that. It's called "HORRIBLE OPTIMIZATION"
Bethesda is a giant studio and makes a ton of money and there's no excuse for that game looking like that, and having the shitty facial animations it does.
It's such an effectively chilling scene that it belonged in a better game. The Call of Duty games are fun, but they don't really say or aspire to much. It was an amazing scene on its own terms, but it felt bizarrely out of place, like if the Col. Kurtz/cow death scene from Apocalypse Now had been spliced into the middle of Fury Road.

Except it doesn't, the trick is you gotta buy a PC and not play on these shitboxes and piss stations

I have a good rig and Fallout 4 looks like shit from an ass compared to Witcher 3, which was made by 40 fat slavs in a house trailer.

Yeah, but Fallout is actually fun. I hated Witcher 3.
2 breadmoccasin 2015-11-23
Lol, sorry.
1 blackirishlad 2015-11-23

Because people forgot how shitty fallout and other bethesda games look. people have been modding these games for years to improve it.

Perhaps you should go out and do normal things, like have sex with women.

I like how Collin is quiet the entire time but then kills it with the best line at the end

Probably the best mission from any game out there.
