I seriously couldn't bring myself to finish it. I played about 60 hours worth the two weeks following its release, really trying to be open minded about all the shit that is horrendously wrong with the game. At some point it hit me that I was forcing myself to play the damned game and I wasn't really enjoying it. I tried taking a break and since then I've put another 15 hours or so in since its release and I can't play it anymore; every time I've booted it up since I play for a few minutes before realizing why I stopped. How many actually finished the story? I sort of feel bad not even finishing the main storyline but it just doesn't feel right to me. Plus the male player character voiceover kind of makes me nauseous.
I got around 60 hours into it twice, and just couldn't make myself continue with either character. I have since wiped the game and all my saves off my HDD.
I finished the Railroad storyline and when it came to doing the game a 2nd time with BOS I got so bored that I stopped playing.
Oh absolutely. Up on a tower, here's a button. Click. Nuke. Cause, reasons. Hole in the ground. Nothing much changed. Boo... Boo, Ben! Boo...
My problem wasn't so much as that the ending involved whether or not you nuke central Boston. My problem was more that no actions before that have any affect. The only important decisions you ever make in the game that will effect the ending are which faction you side with.
But he delivers the best version of Fallout's famous line. [/sarcasm] Jesus Christ it's so awful, with the "inspirational" music and the total misunderstanding of what that line actually fucking means. Just watch the first Fallout intro, you get chills from it. Why does that scenario seem awfully familiar to me, almost as if it's happened before? No I must be imagining it, Bethesda wouldn't recycle something from a previous game.
I finished it. I don't even remember how it ends. The nuke thing mentioned sounds familiar. I also was kind of pissy I wasn't able to go into a story-driven showdown with asshole-shaun, but I was at least able to shoot him dead after the dumb, pointless "dialog" with him
Judging how much of a buggy mess, plot hole ridden mess it is I don't think even bethesda "finished" it.
Wasn't my point either. Railroad? Nuke. Minutemen? Nuke. BOS? Nuke. It's pointless who you choose cause it all ends up at the same place. In FNV it makes sense for you to end up at the dam in NCR, Legion and House quest lines. But that every single faction you can side with in FO4 wants to nuke The Institute? That's lazy of Bethesda.
