Fallout 4

I really wish they'd explained how they got there, they have to be survivors from the group in Fallout 2. I can't see them having traveled from California all the way to the Boston area just to find a ship. This was a kind poke at Scientology compared to the long mission and stuff in Fallout 2.

I've been going around the outside of teh park trying to get the trophy for 40 dlc creature kills while hopped up on a mixed nuka flavor and i'm still finding stuff I missed. I just found a downed vertibird with very little of interest and a shrine to the nuka bottle character surrounded by severed heads. I love my soda as much as the next person but that takes it a bit much, pretty sure it's probably that chick from Fallout 3 who is behind it lol

@Sluis Van Shipyards: Yeah the number of X01 suits around the park is insane plus there's a nuka t51 too. I could have done with just some parts as i have half finished xo1s at my base though. They also sell x01 parts in the arcade for 10,000 tickets once in a while. There's also a set worn by a gunner commander up on the overpass and i just went back up there and got some t51 parts AND there was a partial x01 suit hidden at the very end of their base. It was only a helmet and a few parts but still I never noticed it. I'm going to give it time to reset and see if i can farm it for the parts i need back on my other suits. Plus there's a gunner with a mini nuke so i can farm those too. I think I got a glitchy trophy again, i know i've killed more than 40 creatures while high on cola but nothing unlocking, apparently some folks had to do 100 or more kills. Some of these trophies wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for the glitches.
There's also a set of x01 in the one town north east of the park, you have to go in via a busted basement wall and there's a story behind it just from the setup yet there was no notes or journals or anything to go with it. I'd like to know how the park had access to so many suits of this armor when you rarely see them any other time.
Also there's a tiny Han In Carbonite, i was exploring the base of the mountain i live in at the park and that gang that lives there has a campfire at the very top of their housing area and it was in the ground sitting there. Just fought a legendary BOS knight named Rogue Knight and he dropped 2 legendary laser Gatling with different names.

I'll have go take another look at it. I'm still stuck on this last trophy as it refuses to count the multitude of critters i killed into the 40 kills i need.

Edit: Well i'll do it once sony gets their heads out of their backsides and let me log in. PSN just went down worldwide so nobody with DLC can play anything thanks to their stupid security measures to verify ownership.

Yesterday, i started playing again...started from scratch on the PS4.
I'd played a lot on Xbox One, but kind of got fed up with the constant stutters and such....to be honest, i got near the end, but sort of lost interest....

It seems to run smoother on PS4, which is a relief, but the big surprise for me was how much i'd missed this game,
I'm now truly excited to play again!

It runs on the ps4 pretty good but it still randomly drops frame rate, not as bad as it used to before the last patch, and once in a while my character gets stuck for a second. I'm seriously getting fed up with the glitched trophies though, i've killed 150 creatures meeting the criteria and it still won't pop. I even went back to a very early save and did it and nothing.
 
The last few days my character's been having trouble with computers, he freezes in the middle of the animation before you can hack or when i'm getting out of a chair. Hopefully the next update will fix a bunch of these things. This one trophy thing is driving me nuts so i may take a break from Fallout. With psn down last night i started up my xbox 1 and had 2 years of updates to install plays 40 gigs of games lol.
 
pc player here, ive recently finished pretty much every single mission in vanilla F4, started to get a little bored so yesterday I ran all kinds of updates and got all the DLC and my mind was blown, they added so much stuff to crafting and its like playing a whole new game again!
 
I think they missed a chance in Nuka World to reference Sunset Sarsaparilla and Vim. There were several terminals with entries mentioning rebranding drinks that Nuka Cola acquired and one in the Vim factory in FH even said Nuka Cola was trying to get them to sell. They should have had something that said they weren't making any headway with Nuka Cola Wild in the West because of Sunset Sarsaparilla or something like that. Not a big deal, but they made the effort to reference NV with Nuka Cola Victory and Quartz, so that would have been cool.
 
They actually did mention that Nuka Wild was released after Sunset wouldn't sell out to them. I think it was in a loading screen though.
 
I... am increasingly bitter at how railroaded I feel as a player. Spoilers ahead, in case anyone wants to wait and see what goes on in Nuka World... Okay. So you get to a point in the main quest where you have to choose either to go out and help the raiders take over all your settlements in the Commonwealth, or else take 'em all out there at Nuka World. No middle ground. No "wow -- that territory is already all yours?" You also can't be selective. You can't just take out the Operators, for instance. As soon as you attack any of the raiders, all of them are insta-hostile. Fighting your way clear is... interesting. It's apparent the intention is more than "for those who want to play the bad guy for a change". What it actually ends up being is "you have to be the bad guy -- all other choices lead to messy death*."

[*Unless you're very tough, very well armed, and very quick on the stimpacks.]

I'm getting very frustrated at everything to do with Fallout 4 being so full of potential... but then stopping short of delivering (the cut BoS ending), or forcing an outcome where you can see another way out (take over the Institute and work with the other factions as its new leader, for instance). I was only just starting to explore Nuka World after becoming the new Overboss, and was already figuring I wanted to free the traders, let the Pack have Safari Adventure, kill the heads of the Operators and turn the rest into well-paid security, sic the Disciples on the Hubologists, get the power back up, and turn it into a New Vegas of the East -- a destination for traders and travelers coming in out of the wastes, a beacon for refugees from the Pitt... An anchor point for helping re-establish civilization...

...But the DLC seems to actively work against that beneficial of an outcome.

I read today on Bethesda's website that Sony straight out refused the mods as is proposed by Bethesda. Won't happen. I'm buying an XBox One today, that's decided. Won't throw out the PS4, but I've been wanting to have both anyway for a while, this is just the push I needed. Don't have a gaming PC, don't plan on buying one, so both consoles under my TV it will be.
Questions though : is the S version worth waiting a few days for though ? And would the Xbox and PS4 really benefit from a 4K TV over a standard full HD ?
 
I agree Bethesda really did drop the ball on this game when it came to the story and choices compared to the past games. Everyone dislikes New Vegas but it gave you the most choices out of all the Bethesda fallouts when it came on how you wanted to play.
 
I'm just glad Nuka World didn't force the Raiders quests because I hate raiders. As soon as Gage (I think that's his name) opened that door I blasted him. :lol I think that of the open world RPGs I've played, Skyrim started the best. The intro left it up into the air as to whether your were captured doing something bad, or just in the wrong place at the right time. That way you were more open to how you wanted your character to be. In Fallout 4, as the male player, you're a former soldier, so if you follow that, you're limited in your options. Most soldiers wouldn't go lead a band of raiders.
 
This DLC isn't getting the reviews that Far Harbor did, a lot of folks are complaining about the glitched trophies and other issues. Apparently even the issues that are known haven't been dealt with yet.
 
But most soldier don't have to go through the murder of their wife, kidnapping of their child, and wake up in a totally different, crazy, ruthless world ! That's enough to break someone and make him go mad... with that said I totally agree on the skyrim opening, and same goes for New Vegas. The less background the better ! But I'm not mad Bethesda tried something a bit different with a more narrated story, although for future installments i hope they'll go back to the more open, multiple choice story.
And I did buy my Xbox, onto modding the hell out of this game ! Finally I can try the survival mode without ennemies being bullet sponges. A raider can be Legendary all he wants, a .308 in the head is going to kill you no matter what... But I wanna try a melee build for once.
