First Person Shooters

I'm considering Brotherhood of Steel, but at the moment I am hooked with the Minutemen.

BOS gives you T-60 power armor, you can fly around.... I sided with them. But the Minutemen are ok.

So Gonff, how is Fallout 4? I wasn't really interested until I read this thread. Would you be willing to list the pros and cons?

[Gonff the Mousethief]

@Sage: I'll inform Danse!

@Del: Oh, it's great. Here is the list:

Pros:

Overall story is interesting

Graphics seem very nice

World is full of stuff

Weapon and Settlement creation alone are amazing

It can really keep you engaged for hours

Cons:

Some people have reported glitches and bugs

CPUs and conversation seem to be lacking

Doesn't give clear instructions on how to use major functions in the game

You could feel overloaded with the amount of missions

Story gets bland in a few areas


So yeah, major pros, little cons. I could say it's like Skyrim with guns, but that would be an understatement.

If you need any tips, just ask me.

   It's a Bethesda game, so it's really buggy on launch but has a massive world. The biggest complaints I've heard about it are that, one, it has very poor inventory management (there's a mod to fix it) and that it drops the classic Fallout roleplaying mechanics and chat options in favor of more basic communication and more of an FPS play style. If you like Fallout, you should probably buy it. If you don't, you should read reviews and watch gameplay videos.

@Ashenwyte: Vermintide looks cool, if a little more gory than I'm comfortable with. Not really sure it counts as an FPS, though, with its focus on melee.

@Gonff, sounds great! But how is the language/gore/suggestive themes. I have never read the ratings Fallout 4 so I have no idea if any of these listed even exist!

Never mind...Xbox One. I didn't know much about the game except what was mentioned on here.

FO4 is rated M for mature... Here we go, the ESRB rating. "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Use of Drugs "

It plays like an FPS, so I'll classify it as such. There is probably a setting to reduce the gore, but it's part of the experience. (Keep in mind that I haven't played the game yet)

There isn't a setting. But if you hate gore, then don't use V.A.T.S..

I was talking about Vermintide.

Oh.
