Yeah, fallout 4 really is up your alley. Also Alpha Protocol is still to this day the best direct implementation of gameplay of an action RPG precisely for the exact same reason. And the amount of dumb retards that still can't figure out why Thorton is incapable with a shotgun with only one skill point specced into that tree is staggering.

Retard everything in this game is experienced through dialogue. Including often RPG elements.
If it sucks, the whole game suffers more than if the story did. A plain or even bad story can be carried or complement well written dialogue
And that's admitting the story itself is anything excellent. It's fine, I wouldn't really bash it too hard, there's plenty of other games and kids' movies with worse plots. But you're telling me THAT's supposed to be the driving force through this slog?

>>737451105
Just stop.
Enemy AI is still the same from Oblivion, and that dictates a cascade of bad gameplay in its combat. Namely, reliance on bullet sponges. NPC spotting, pathing, targeting, and decision making, and how the world geometry interacts with bullet paths and cover, all this can't welcome anything else than tedium in 3D combat. Have the player character deal too much damage, and it's a breeze. Lower the health of both and you'll randomly die like a Skyrim mage against high-level archers. So the entire 3D action part in which clearly they've invested dev effort and time is just a chore. I recently finally played Metro 2033 and it surprised me how functional fighting enemies is in that game. Everything is fragile yet lethal, strong weapons feel powerful, but you're still vulnerable and have to rely on outmaneuvering and cover heavily.
Combat in New Vegas is bad, and it's not a hot take. Again, it's not unplayable, it's functional, but not good enough to be more enjoyable than not playing it at all.

I found new vegas's character building, gameplay and choices far more engaging than 4, in spite of taking the combat from nudoom wholesale from id. Characters all felt the same in 4 and i never had any desire to replay the game with different builds because no matter what you do you do the same shit, as well as all the quests just being clearing raiders with different skins from ruins. 4 is just a timesink that leaves you with less. I never felt "cool" in 4, while in the earlier games i kinda have an idea of how my character is, 4 is just nate or nora, instead of whatever autistic headcanon i make up playing. I guess 4 is for people who don't have head apples.
>>
>>737453526
You’re only crying hyperbole to cope with not being able to actually defend what you said so you have to act like you were exaggerating. In truth you have no actual criticism because you have never played the game. You just prowl around and gather information from others.
>ENOUGH content in this game is experienced through dialogue
So this is what you’re going to go for after your first line of bullshit failed? Alright, you have gone out of your way to cherry pick shit to try and present it as the norm.
>shittubers glaze this game like few others
And in equal measure seethe about it because it’s always held up with whatever slop they love and they always do the same shit with being reductive or cherry picking and then presenting it as the norm which is why I know that’s where you get your information from.

/v/ spent literal years telling everyone how New Vegas is the best game ever made and how Obsidian is the savior of gaming and all this other delusional bs that's meant to paint Bethesda as this scary boogeyman who is hated by everyone who ever worked on classic Fallout. In reality Fallout is the most popular it's ever been primarily thanks to what Bethesda has done with it and the franchise is thriving to the point where it's basically a household name on par with Marvel or Star Wars. Meanwhile Obsidian released a couple of games that were just okay but retards still cling onto this almost 20 year old spin-off game as proof that they're the "better devs" because they want any reason they can get to stay angry at a fucking video game.

Understandable. For me the sound effects and the little blood splutter were enough more or less. Some melee weapons also slightly push enemies back which adds the oomph to it. Sure, it could be better but it works well enough, the movement of my own character is sufficiently snappy, and the roleplaying aspect is one of the most solid I've seen in RPGs.

BotW - King of hard to get excited about exploring a world when all there is to find is shrines and korok seeds.
RDR2 - Absolutely dreadfully boring experience with one of the most overrated stories I've ever seen. I remember liking RDR1 but maybe my tastes have changed a lot since then.
Mario Odyssey - I guess it would be fun if I was 7 years old but the game is so braindead easy I can't remember anything I did besides the final escape sequence.
Cyberpunk 2077 - Even if I ignored the technical state the game released in, it's at best an 8/10 experience with a story that's nothing special and barely ok gameplay.

Actually let me further explain since I actually doubt you'd get
You were unable to read the the most commo- A very common type of hyperbole (example: there's "nothing" to explore in BoTW meaning: "Its scattered contents, too often relying on korok seeds and shrines, are too bland and repetitive for exploration to feel rewarding or exploration at all" despite those being arguably "something" and therefore not nothing), and when faced with the paraphrase, you read it as "walking back" and a confirmation of your conspiracy. That someone is lying about their identity and motives, being instead a known enemy of yours (people regurgitating YouTube videos), deliberately to attack either you or something you care about.
This isn't a heated, pointless, but entertaining argument. People do that shit in self-regulating high-control groups.
Even if it was as good as you say it is, there's no way New Vegas is worth doing this to the social part of your brain.

>You were unable to read the the most commo- A very common type of hyperbole
I called that out as a cope and you had nothing for it and when I addressed your next cope argument deflected. And now you’re trying to double back now that you realized you fucked up by trying to trivialize and cry. While sperging out that I am not falling for your cope about it being hyperbole.
>people regurgitating YouTube videos
Which you are since you have no counter to what I have said and are just bitching that I don’t believe you.
>This isn't a heated, pointless
If it was pointless you wouldn’t have typed all this bullshit out and just left. It’s as I said you lost and have to trivialize. If you don’t care and none of this matters then leave. The only thing you’re doing is showing that you need to say it doesn’t matter to cope.
>>
>>737456680
but the combat in deus ex is more abstracted. icewind dale is even further on the abstraction side and therefore more of an rpg, even though it's more combat oriented
>>737456919
the process of killing relies more on stats in dude sex than in new vegas. you can't really run n gun in the early game because of how important the stats are

>>
>>737456991
Nu-uh. That's your cope to completely forget an entire argument or two because you can't fucking read.
so let's go over them again.
1st. A significant amount of content is delivered through a dialogue box, and a lot of your time is spent talking with friendly NPCs (hyperbole: everything). So good writing in said dialogue is significantly important, as much if not more the overall plot.
2nd. New Vegas’ combat is weak because it’s built on Oblivion‑era AI, which can’t handle modern gunplay. Enemies spot, move, and fight poorly, so the game compensates with bullet sponges for which any damage tuning makes tedium even worse. Geometry and hit detection are unreliable, making firefights clunky. Dedicated shooters like Metro 2033 don't lack human bullet sponges because there's no rpg stats, but because between good AI and the game's geometry, it allows for lethal weapons and thus movement that matters. This said, New Vegas’ combat is functional but tedious, and rarely enjoyable.
then:
burden of proof on the accuser. I'm lying that I played it? prove it. What video am I referencing?
>If it was pointless you wouldn’t
Pointless BUT entertaining, did you forget to read the whole thing? do you not understand cause-and-effect or B1 English? en-ter-tain-ing something that provides amusement, enjoyment, or diversion
Are you also
>>737456564 ?

Which is your cope to fall back on now that you have nothing else. You have to say that you’re not taking is seriously yet type out all this bullshit trying desperately to defend another cope. Not to mention you’re bringing up something that wasn’t even discussed just to try and desperately deflect again. Imagine going from desperately trivializing every to sperging out to try and justify the argument you lost.

>Enemy AI is still the same from Oblivion, and that dictates a cascade of bad gameplay in its combat.
Never played Oblivion but coming from a non-tactical game made in 2010, that got rushed to boost, the AI is far more smarter than you give it credit for. Y-22 Trauma Hareness actually pulled a battle drill in Z-43 Toxins Plants when they backed me in a corner and had one of them move into my sights so I would trigger VATS while the other 3 held their positions until the animation started and then as time slowed down they rushed in to flank me from a blind angle. Playing JSawyer's mod on Hard has created some surprising and clever fights that I don't recall happening in games like these 15 years ago.
