    My “nExT gEn” update experience:

    1. Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
    2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
    3. Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
    4. Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
    5. Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

    FYI, most mods I installed are from:

        People have complained about FO4’s graphics since release. I always thought it was a good looking game. Coming back after the next-gen update I still think it looks good.

          It always looked like nearly next generation. Better than New Vegas, but when stacked up against the other releases that year like Witcher 3 and Bloodborne it just felt a but underwhelming.

          IMO the graphics look great, it’s just that it’s so clearly built on the creation engine. Like, the models and textures and lighting are great, but the animation is just so…creation engine

          I was very let down with them on release. The animations are worse though.

        Brother the company is owned by Microsoft now. You can complain about their product in any way you want. Its sold under Microsoft, you can complain. Again, Microsoft

      Yeah, but you’ll get a few hours in and uninstall because you stop playing.

        Currently at 30ish hours and still enjoying it.

        Reminded me that Bethesda does release some great / huge games.

        Albeit quite bugged at release,
        but since they (usually) embrace the modding scene, lots of this can be / has been patched and even improved by the community.

        The Next Gen update is a stupid cash-grab though, and imo should have never happened…

        An official modpack would have been much better.

          Except that all of their patches broke all the mods.

          FO4 also was a mediocre fallout game but a decent FPS and base builder

      No offense but this is totally 🤡 meme. You just walked deeper and deeper into bullshit and convinced yourself to keep stepping the whole way
