Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game?

Fallout 4 might be a very good immersion Sim, but it’s probably the worst FPS I’ve ever played. I think it could have been a cool turn based JPRG. The best part of Fallout is it basically never runs out of content, and I wished for that experience when I was on late-game Clair Obscur.

FO4 is not an immersive sim.

“The best part of Fallout is it basically never runs out of content”

That’s the worst part. All of those randomly generated filler quests that send you back to a location you’ve cleared twice before to kill the same named raider npc are at the very core of what is wrong with Fallout 4.

I wish Fallout would return to primarily being a roleplaying game, with actual dialog choices, including the ability to say “No, I don’t give a shit about Shaun. In fact, I’m glad he was kidnapped, so that I don’t have to be bogged down by a backstory that I never agreed to.”

Oh, and it would be nice if the main character wasn’t automatically the leader of every faction in the game.

Yall know that ‘Fallout’ was originally turn-based? No need for anything Japanese in there, the RPG system was pretty nice.

The nineties had some cool turn-based tactics games, like the ‘Jagged Alliance’ series and ‘X-Com’. Even realtime tactics were very nice in the isometric view, e.g. in ‘Commandos’. Now that everything needs to be in either first-person or third-person from behind, such games rarely pop up.

Never really given FO4 a chance, the FPS feel just didn’t land right for me. I’m curious though, in what ways does it basically never run out of content? I love being able to play a game for a long time.

  It’s not literal like it would be for Dwarf Fortress, the game just has A LOT of content. Even FO3 or Oblivion have a ridiculous amount of content, where you need hundreds of hours to do all side quests.

    Oh darn. Was hoping it had some kind of end game content, like generated quests or something :c
