Games Need Great Villains part 2.


 
Fallout 4: Great Visuals, Great Gameplay, Horrible Story, Mediocre Game.

Like Metal Gear solid it has awesome visuals, awesome gameplay, but I just couldn’t care about any of the characters.

The game starts out with a nuclear holocaust, I cared, then my family found shelter in a Vault where we were frozen, that’s good I guess. Then my wife was killed and my infant son kidnaped. I didn’t care. I didn't care about characters who weren’t even introduced to me. I didn’t care about any of the characters I meant throughout the game and I think I know why. Because none of them truly suffered, none of them did despite it being a post-apocalyptic universe people seemed to do pretty well for themselves forming communities that seem more functional than our own. You’d think there would be starving war orphans, people dying of radiation sickness, cheapness of life, you know things we deal with in our non-apocalyptic universe.

Then I found my son. Because he had been unfrozen he was actually older than me(I thought this was pretty cool). My reaction was wait a second I spent the entire game fighting the organization that I thought was holding my son captive only to find out he was its leader and the organization that he leads the institute isn’t all bad was, what a waste of time.

Like metal gear the graphics are superb, its also free roam so you can explore on your own. You have a tremendous amount of freedom and can even create your character from their intelligence and strength levels to the size of their nose. This would be great if I cared at all about the character.


The way villain should NOT look
People who should play this game: People with too much time on their hands(it takes way too much time), people who value presentation over substance, people who are just interested in graphics and design, people who don’t care about storylines and don’t want to.








On second thought this looks really cool. In a bad way of course
