My cons out weigh the pros

The Pros

  • Another great environment to see
  • Better enemies
  • Better leveling system/perks
  • Simplified scrounging,no more opening to look at whats inside

The Cons so far

  • Severe lack of weapons, to go from New Vegas to this small offering in variety is hugely disappointing. Even with the mods NV had a better setup.
  • The Main Males voice acting does nothing for me and to me is done poorly. Its honestly the worst voice acting in the game. The mutants and robots have more emotion in their voices, the dog too, just could really live without it. Hopefully the female actress did better than the male.
  • The Settlements and crafting for them, Seems tedious. First time I saw "this settlement is under attack" I died a little inside. Its a personal thing but I despise having to go run off to do escort/protection missions for no real purpose
  • The rads are annoying esp since it now cuts into your overall health bar and it happens fast, but there are perks that cut the rads, the aquaboy one is worth taking very early since it eliminates rads from going in the water.
  • The PipBoy menu, its a Clusterfunk, why are holotopes not in their own section anymore? All notes and tapes are now in an items list.

To note from OP you can find the weight and stats of the item if you hit transfer before you pick up, so when looking at a body/desk hit transfer and it'll bring up a detailed list of items with their stats instead of just grabbing it.

I don't own the game yet, but hope to get it soon.

I heard the game lacks in story though, according to an article I read, otherwise gameplay, loot collecting, co-op, and online play are fun.

There isn't much loot collecting its a full time job and my exp with online PvP wasn't fun since I was level 7 and the other 11 were 20+ rank, needless to say I got slaughtered and it had nothing to do with skill. The gameplay is you just mowing down enemies that never stop spawning, if you move 5 feet from the area they'll respawn if you move the camera the other way they respawn. I killed some enemies moved a few feet away to snipe some other enemies and literally 15 seconds later i was getting shot in the back by the newly respawned enemies i just killed.

I also don't understand and maybe someone can tell me but when you get to the "boss areas" or the no respawn areas, what happens to the other players? I've followed other players to this point and they just disappear, do you have to be on the same fireteam or are these parts only done solo??

I mean there might be not much loot collecting, but there are still at least some rare items that you might try to get.

Also, Online pvp doesn't match you with similar leveled/skilled players?

Online seems to just be whoever joins, I played about 5 more matches last night and There were people from Rank 5 thru 20+ So it seems it just takes whoever wants to play online and puts them together. Online dosen't unlock til rank 5, but you play against all ranks.

I'll be renting it, already on the way thru gamefly. After watching some streams though I don't know if ill be keeping it very long. I'm tired of hype deeming games "great" before the games are even released. It just looks like a pretty borderlands with more MP modes and all of the predictability FPS have.

Probably the poor timing of it you know with gta5. I got it from gamefly the day after I got gta5 and have yet to play it.

It said food and drinks can be used to restore health when you first get to your safe house. So vending machines or the 24/7 stores or health packs is my understanding so far.

I DL the sr4 creator and it was almost identical to the SR3 creator honestly. A few diff clothes which were basically just from SR3dlc. Ive played thru SR4 and it was allright,worth a rental or a buy at $20 later on. It reminded me alot of crackdown. Im all about GTA5 but I try not to compare the 2 series anymore,they are what they are. With saints row 4 I barely used a car the entire game.
