Fallout 4 jumps to No.1 (+7,500%) across Europe following TV show launch. 4 Fallout games in top 10 (Update: in Australia and NZ too)
- Thread starter FarSight XR-20
- Start date
- Sales
And? I mean there is a reason why I only got like 70 hours in it and I have had it since launch but you don't see me going on and on like it's 2015 again.
It was balantly obvious before the game was launch that it was aiming for something else.
It's not the worst or the best just like the rest but we really don't need to beat a dead horse do we.
I didn't realize there was a statute of limitations on games criticism
You mean repeated? Its like listening to that one person who has been nagging about the same few things but for decades. Guess that also includes people rolling their eyes in the background lol.
But this is coming from a person who couldn't stand the hack and slash fallout game.

Not gonna sit here and say there's nothing wrong with 4, but it's not trash like some are making it out to be. Like, at all. I still need to finish the main game, and the story kind of wore thin on me.
NV for me is all about the writing, so that's my preference. I enjoyed FO3, and finished it along with the DLCs.

18 months!? I thought they only had 18 hours to make New Vegas 😱
Nope! 18 months! You can't make a game is 18 hours LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here's what I found on wikipedia.com after digging around for a bit!
DEVELOPMENT
In 2004, Bethesda Softworks purchased the license to develop and publish Fallout 3, as well as an option to create two sequels, from Interplay Entertainment.[20] Three years later they bought the Fallout intellectual property.[21] Bethesda abandoned the original gameplay style of previous Fallout titles; instead of an isometric game with action point/turn-based combat, Bethesda's Fallout 3 was a fully 3D game with real-time combat as well as the action point-based V.A.T.S. system.[22][23][24]
Fallout 3 was a critical and commercial success upon its release in 2008,[22] and Bethesda commissioned a sequel. With their own developers busy working on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Bethesda reached out to Obsidian Entertainment, a company founded by several former members of Interplay's original Fallout developers Black Isle Studios, to develop the game. Bethesda and Obsidian decided to create a game that would continue the "West Coast" story rather than the plot of Fallout 3.[22][25] Bethesda rejected Obsidian's idea to set the game between the events of Fallout 2 and Fallout 3, but they did approve of setting the game in Las Vegas.[25][26]
Fallout: New Vegas was announced in April 2009.[27] Obsidian's development team included former Interplay/Black Isle employees Josh Sawyer as director, and Chris Avellone as a writer and director of the game's downloadable content.[14][28] The plot of New Vegas takes heavy inspiration from the original Fallout 3 that Black Isle developed, commonly known by its codename "Van Buren",[29] which Sawyer also directed prior to its cancellation.[30] The most notable example is the inclusion of Caesar's Legion, a faction originally created for Van Buren.[29][31] Obsidian included other factions from previous Fallout games and avoided writing any faction as entirely good or evil, but instead as potential rivals depending on what path the player decided to pursue.[29][31]
The game had a somewhat short development cycle of 18 months.[32] New Vegas reuses the Gamebryo engine used in Fallout 3, yet it improved on the previous installment's source code, with some graphics rendering improvements and new art assets, while reworking the engine to accommodate the extra lights and effects of the Las Vegas Strip.[31][33] Obsidian were unfamiliar with the Gamebryo engine and had to request the help of an Oblivion modder named Jorge Salgado.[34] Obsidian refined the real-time shooting mechanics and added iron-sights aiming to make playing without V.A.T.S. a more viable option than it was in Fallout 3.[30][35] One PC version of the game relies on Steamworks for online functions, such as achievements and cloud save storage, as well as digital rights management (DRM).[36] A version without DRM was made available by GoG.com on June 1, 2017.[37]
I noticed earlier today that Xbox Status claimed the broken achievements for Fallout 4 were fixed.
I can confirm they are. I completed the Unlikely Valentine quest, and not only did I get the achievement for it, It also retroactively unlocked other ones I'd missed.

The whole series nearly hit 300,000 concurrent players, with 160,000 from Fo4 alone.
If Amazon didn't already have Rings of Power, I'm sure they'd be looking into it.
Doesn't stop others from being interested though, of course.

is this a PHYSICAL chart only?
I know 4 and 76 are big winners heat because they're more recent but I love seeing more people try New Vegas.
New Vegas modding is amazing now with things like custom animations for weapon mods now, previously if you wanted gun mods you'd have to put up with janky animations.

Digital + physical surely. I don't think stores are selling physical copies anymore.

Haha, I'm supposed to be playing through Rebirth but instead I got back into Stardew heavy, and started FO4 back up last night (on PS5 though not Steam Deck).
Good to know I'm not the only one pumping hundreds of hours into games from 2015/16 in 2024.
