I played Fallout 4 for like 40 hours and the only reason I played was all the skimpy clothing mods I used. I don't even remember what most of the game was, I spent all of it looking at the tits and ass of the main character and the follower

>enjoying Fallout 4

you need to go back

Mod it to be harder

If it's some co-op game that I have broken over my knee, I just go through the motions to help other people play. Like some bullshit bullet sponge boss is pissing people off, I roll in, demolish it, and take none of the loot because it's all garbage anyway.

Singleplayer games? I just abandon them. I quit RDR2 around chapter 6 because the writing was just SO FUCKING TERRIBLE I couldn't stand it anymore. Any real man in 1899 would have just executed half of the gang for being incompetent fucks (well, just Dutch and Micah; everyone else could manage on their own), assume the identity of some random fuck who died in the hills, and never look back.

>>15809288

This is why i stopped playing single player games. They haven't really made an interesting one in a lonnnnnng while. You never get better, your character does.

>>15809288

>I've been enjoying Fallout 4

I implore you to reconsider.

>>15809293

>the only reason I played was all the skimpy clothing mods I used.

F:NV also technically has skimpy clothing mods, so I still wonder what's the point of playing F4, except to laugh at Bethesda (and now, we have F76 for that, so F4 looks pretty pointless).

You can probably mod the game to make it more fun.

>>15809288

>he enjoyed fallout 4

I did too at first, but go play new vegas again and you'll realise the story is trash, the world is trash, the gameplay is trash, it's too easy and just not fun

Just mod in some skimpy clothing and boner popping mods and you'll probably enjoy it more.

Mod in some difficulty spikes if you really want to though.

>What keeps you playing a game if it isn't challenging?

Nothing. It's the same reason why playing with God mode enabled gets boring after a half hour at max. The removal of challenge completely trivializes gameplay which makes everything you do feel like a pointless waste of time. Having to think to overcome obstacles and succeed makes you feel good and is the main reason why games are so fun, without that it's just a glorified movie.

>>15809288

Try Cataclysm DDA (preferably the experimental release on github). I enjoyed it more than Fallout 4.

>>15809288

Mods or porn mods…

If neither are an option then just uninstall.exe

>>15809756

You can turn off zombies (its not just zombies though). I just like the scavenging, fabrication, and the persistent feeling of mortality missing from most games. Also, who can complain about an open source game. It has a nice community. This "zombie shit" writes itself and the game can run on very little resources.

> down syndrome, autism and shizophrenia combo

The schizophrenia trait in the game is a bit entertaining.

<tl;dr

Don't need to waste any money on shit that no one will care about in the future.

>>15809939

It's a shame only Dark Souls comes close to providing that same sense of danger and mortality from roguelikes.

>>15809939

Yeah, you can't beat the sandbox nature of Cata, being able to build your own customized fortress, vehicle, or fortress vehicle almost entirely from scratch, along with a lot of your equipment and tools is a great feeling. Though you could easily just live a nomadic life of scavenging in the woods and cities to subsist if you wanted too. Just so many things to play with and a lot of control over how you want your game world to function. Even with the furry shit and the game being partially developed by some SJW leaning retards can't kill the depth.

>>15809288

Some people like feeling powerful in games to the point where armies of enemies fall before them like bags of sour cream and onion chips before a fat fuck.

>>15809288

Don't all of these Bethesda games have extreme Challenge and "realistic" mode mods that make them insanely difficult? Even just taking away the stimpacks ability to heal broken bones makes things way more difficult. Or you could just go through the game without using stimpacks at all.

>>15809939

Don't waste your time on writing up a serious reply to TORposters, anon.

OP thinks his IQ is too high to play FO4, but we all know his IQ is low enough to be playing FO4 in the first place.

>>15809288

If it's not challenging it needs to have a good story, interesting characters, fun mini games etc. Yakuza is a good example. It is piss easy but is really fun to just casually play.

forgot the embed so deleted post, tried it couldn't time slot.

The game gave you power armor in the first quest. When I played I found some before that just by walking around. How weren't you a walking tank from the outset?

>>15810881

It needs power cores so I never bothered using it because I didn't know how scarce they were. Now I just use them as ammo for the gatling laser.

>>15809288

A thread died for this shit

Also Sage so that we can mock how much of a faggit OP still is.

>>15809288

>now that I'm fairly late in the game my character is a walking tank

You literally get power armor in the second or third mainline quest. It's piss-easy from then on. You have terrible taste and you should feel bad.

>>15810961

It's like they took the Navarro run from Fallout 2 and made a whole game out of it.

>>15809288

>What keeps you playing a game if it isn't challenging?

I make my own challenges. Limit myself to only a few weapons or skills or one specific playstyle.

>>15809288

>What keeps you playing a game if it isn't challenging?

I don't like challenges, I already have enough challenges in my life. I like to be a walking God among heretics, stomping them effortlessly with my unlimited power.

I liked FO4 more than NV

I keep playing a game if it's still fun. Radical concept, I know.

>>15809293

>I bought a game that I "don't like" and installed mods to turn it into softcore porn because I'm a thirsty teenage beta faggot that will sell his fucking soul to look at a woman's ass, even if it's a cartoon one

Bravo.

>>15809990

If anything, Cata is the one game I can bear having fursuits, qurans and talmuds, because I can cleanse them in purifying fire.

Mostly the fun factor. As an example Total War games are easy even on the hardest difficulties, but I still play them because I love the way the game feels. How the cavalry charges send men flying, how volleys of flaming arrows burn enemies alive, how cannons punch huge holes in enemy formations. As a bonus mods add more variety so I can have chariots breaking enemy shieldwalls as my trolls or whatever move in for the kill. As a bonus the earlier games have awesome soundtracks too.

I enjoy dissecting games for their individual components, even shitty ones. Also seeing how game series evolved over time.

>Unfortunately just your run of the mill autism with some xenophobia and OCD here. Not sure how anyone would enjoy FO4 though.

Mods.

I started playing Yakuza 0 on hard lately. First Yakuza game i ever played.

>tfw beating the first boss after the nth try because I didn't have any healing items

>tfw beating Mr. Shakedown for the first time after abusing him with weapons

>Can still get my ass handed to me randomly if I'm not careful or dick around too much

>still need to rely on healing items

>so many different fighting styles and weapons to master

>combat is actually fun and I actively look for punks to beat up.

Wish I got into Yakuza games earlier.

>What keeps you playing a game if it isn't challenging?

Depends on the game and whether or not is comfy

>>15824014

Wasn't there a screencap of some anon going on about all the weird stuff you could do in skyrim with porn mods?

>>15809288

>playing bethesda games

>literal definition of artificial difficult with level scaling enemies.

Why would you do that? Unless you're really into the role playing and story aspect of Fallout/Elder Scrolls, then I understand. Otherwise these are very boring games.

If the game isn't challenging, it should have something else. Comfy atmosphere, tons of enemies of whatever stripe to massacre, good story/characters, &c. Hell, there's the likes of Pannenkoek that make their own challenges by abusing glitches.

Thats why fallout 4 is shit without mods

>survival mode

>lone wanderer

>attack dog

>marine combat armor

>pack alpha

The game just broke. With the disciple blade nisha gives you you can one shot anything. Except deathclaws, they still had to be taken from afar.

Bethesda's atlas mentality has always been a problem, even storywise. While obsidian did a great job to give tools to the player to make the feats the courier does feel human-sized, in bethesda games you are treated as a god.

In new vegas you always have backup, even when you take on shitty bosses like cook cook, violet and nephi. In fallout 3 and 4 the characters go "kill that group of overhyped characters that nobody can kill but you, and do it alone". It's ridicolous.

>>15857094

This is exactly what's gonna happen when star citizen "releases". The sham will come crumbling apart. It's like F76 never even existed, just ads.

So I've spent at least half of my playthrough's time building and fucking around with settlements. I'm going to say that they're easily the most fun part of Fo4 and nearly every other aspect (combat, exploration, quests etc) is dull as shit and I end up rushing to finish them. Did anyone else feel this way? If they completely trashed the irrelevant main storyline and just had the protagonist wander the wastes helping & rebuilding the area, would it be a worthwhile game? Unmodded it still is very bare bones but add more depth to settlement building and just maybe the game would deserve the fallout title.

>>15809288

Nothing I usually quit quikly at that point.

if I'm just going through the motions with 0% chance of failing I might as well watch a movie.

Nothing. I don't waste my time on boring non-games. I have other creative hobbies to entertain myself when I don't feel like playing games like programming and fly tying. When I play a game I expect to have my skill tested, by definition. If the "game" doesn't do that, it's a trash tier game.

Nuka world lets you become a raider warlord. I modded the game to enable most settlements(Read: everything but the mechanist lair and pre brotherhood boston airport) to be taken over, that includes the castle, and killed preston. Then, I took over every vanilla, DLC and some mod settlements. I literally own all of the commonwealth, even took over bunker hill, it was a pretty cool playthru, until the game literally died out on me

>I've been enjoying Fallout 4

I'm sorry, OP. And don't worry things really do get better in high school.

>>15857025

>Fallout 4 is years old

Wow.

>>15857094

Was it a Bethesda product?

>ITT sperging faggots derail the thread because they are envious of OP's ability to enjoy a shitty gaym

Is this a "you laugh you lose" thread?

Soundtrack, exploration, collecting items and completitionism in general. If the game is not challenging it can at least be pleasant to play.

SOTN is my favorite game.

There's no point in playing something if you're not being engaged. If you're not being engaged then you can just watch someone else play the game and nothing really changes about the experience. Having different experiences is a core part of gaming in my opinion, and not having it explains why nobody likes walking sims.

On another topic though, you never play a Bethesda game without mods, ever. There's nothing good in the vanilla games. If you do modding right, you can turn Fallout 4 into an 8/10 game that's constantly challenging and fun.

Fallout 4 is easy to fix (unlike skyrim) because it's just guns, you can tinker with the values, and alter the damage to make it feel more like Metro which is a great start. It's also important to avoid taking perks because the vanilla perk system is broken. Then you slap on some mods to add ballistics, bullet tracers, revolver fanning, glow sights, right handed rifle bolts, model replacers for weapons, AI overhauls for enemies, more random encounters and you're done with gameplay.

Secondly, you fix the graphics and world. Download all the retextures and slap an ENB on top, add more quests, collectibles, enemy types, hideouts and areas.

Then finally, you just add some fully voice acted companion that's dateable. Mod her face, skin and bodytype to your liking then pretend you have a girlfriend. Great experience overall.

100%ing is fine as long as it's not ubisoft-tier filler.

I like Mario Odyssey and I don't know why. It was extremely short, insultingly easy, and the realistic levels all felt out of place for Mario's atmosphere. There was something about it that made me enjoy playing it though. I could just "feel" the amount of passion that went into it, and there was clearly a lot of passion behind it, especially for a AAA game.

I think actually having a certain level of detail and visible amount of love is more important for a game than most people realize.

>>15884461

stop posting that

>>15809288

100% completion is something i rarely do. ive probably done it less than 10 times in my entire life.

well, there are certainly games that i dont play for the challenge specifically, but if challenge is whats holding my attention and its lacking ill probably go and do something else.

is there anything else to compel you? it sounds like there isnt. dont feel bad about just finding something else to do.

>>15884832

wow thanks i was just about to rush out and buy 10 copies of fallout 4 because at least it isnt 76 thanks for opening my eyes

>>15809288

>What keeps you playing a game if it isn't challenging?

for the story

>>15884994

i wonder what other common behavior can be misconstrued as marketing. probably everything

>>15884848

Its clear you just can't post at the same level as the other anon you're engaging so you're just wasting everyone's time.

does the redundancy impress you?

I'd be willing to bet you're that same faggot from the DMC5 thread but even he wasn't this much of a faggot.

Face it, thread's dead and it never should have been allowed to take life's first breath in the first place. Go take your shitposting somewhere else.

>However, always make it concerning some "problematic" quibble or slightly negative about some aspect so as not to arouse suspicion, but not too negative about the actual game whose brand you're being paid to shill for.

Exactly. It keeps the game in people's minds too which is ideal.
