Bethesda confirms that Fallout 5 will be its next game after The Elder Scrolls 6

As long as they use the new engine I'm fine with waiting.

FO4 does look much better with the 4k hi Res released a while ago but yeah, craving a real next gen fallout. I guess the timing on FO4 was bad because it didn't even look that great at launch.
 
Tried all the Fallouts and cannot get into them, The post apocalyptic genre has no appeal for me.

I like the genre, but it felt a carbon copy concept of Skyrim just with a different setting. Fallout was also something I couldnt get into. That and the terrible engine resulting in pinball objects when going over 120fps. Much like Assassin Creed pre black flag.

Yeah the FPS thing has been a problem since day one. I'm hoping they have fixed that also, because the game was tied to the engine in a way and if you went over 60 FPS it broke the game. If you tried to enter a terminal it would get stuck in an endless animation.

It's not a copy of Skyrim. The Fallout story began long before any ES game. Obviously if you play both games then you are going to feel a similar thing given they were both made by Bethesda.

It's literally down to theme and story. I personally don't like Skyrim. Or The Witcher. I prefer the more miserable dark theme of fallout and the dark sense of humour and satire. I've never been into dragons and dwarfs etc it's just not for me. Never seen a single Harry Potter or LOTR movie and never read The Hobbit as a kid.

I preferred Adrian Mole.

So it now just comes down to catering to everyone.

If I remember right, you could trigger game exploits by taking advantage of the bugs created when over 100fps
 
You don't like the Witcher but like miserable dark themes? There's so much irony in that statement Alien lol

The Witcher setting is all about misery! It's a dark story in a dark world.

Don't think i have ever seen more innocent suffering, despair and removal of hope in a single game or movie as much as Witcher series

The Witcher 3 is actually quite cheery and optimistic compared to the first two games. It's full of misery and suffering, sure. But the atmosphere is nowhere near as bleak and pessimistic as it is in the first two games, especially The Witcher 2. The Witcher 3 has more of an adventure game type of atmosphere, despite some of the events in the story.

You are right. I meant to say Witcher Series

The scenery in it is simply too beautiful :D

I did like the semi naked bird who looked like one of those silicon love dolls though haha.

Yeah, just not my sort of theme. I suppose when you live in the UK and have that era (like castles and etc) rammed in your face for years you either love it or hate it.

I thought I would like Cyberpunk but yeah that one didn't grab me either.

Not trying to force you to like the Witcher 3, but while it is beautiful (to grab more people to play) there are color mods that adjust it to the more bleak and dark theme that the universe is closer to. So if you already own it you can try that if you'd like if that sounds fun

I tried it dude. I really did. About 20 hours of trying. And yeah, it took my breath away visually but it just didn't pull me in. Which I am a bit gutted about, given the blood sweat and tears that go into making a game like that.

I own it twice IIRC. I bought the GOG version originally but I could swear I have it elsewhere. Maybe when I finish the new TV rig I will give it another crack with a controller.

I mostly finished CP too, but yeah not something I yearn to return to like Fallout every couple of years.
