After a hundred something hours of Fallout 4 got to lvl. 91 and beating the game on very hard difficulty I didn't feel the same drives to playing anymore. I cleared over half the map. Sure I can invest another hundred hours or so exploring everything but I feel no incentive to do so. I spent a lot of time lvlin' up and being totally over leveled and after beating the main story I don't feel like playing anymore. It's a shame really such a good game.
I think this is really a problem I been having with these heavy story driven game. Once you hit climax it is all downhill from there. There many other great game that I have not completed because of this reason. Like Mgs V, DragonAge Inquisition and Witcher 3 for examples. I would spend all my time playing trying to perfect everything and become super OP. It might sound weird but I didn't finish these games because I don't want them to end, basically I'm afraid of beating them lol, because if I don't beat the game the it technically never ended and all my hard works didn't goes to waste.
Edit.
I think destiny really hit that sweet spot for me. After you maxed out everything the game still have things to drive you forward. Even though one would say that the contents is repetitive. So far I have sunk over 3000 hrs hours into Destiny across all my current guardians and the one I have deleted, the most I have in other games was 600 hours (Guild War 2 and PoE). Also I really like the social aspect of Destiny. I have made some great friends while raiding and playing crucible, that's something that never really happened to me in other Online games like Guild War or CS. Overall I have no regrets about spending so much time I Destiny. I know many others feel the same way. It's good that November come around and bring so many good game, we need a break to do different things, but I'm sure we'll be flocking back to Destiny once we done with other games.
Edit 2
After seeing a lot of post here I would like to say that I'm not comparing the two games, they're completely two different type of game. People are saying that I should do everything possible before proceeding forward. Sure you can go back and do everything and it would offer you countless more hours of thing to do. Well it is like having sex, you have foreplay, intercourse and then finally orgasm. There just no endgame contents. Once you blow your load you can try fiddling back in there but then it feel like a chore. Lots of fun to have but once you’re done, it’s time to go to sleep. On the other hand destiny is like a sport. You trains then you play and in the end rains or shines you want to keep going. If you win you want to stay at the top so you keep grinding, if you lose you can quit or you get back in the grind and shoot for the top. I have a very competitive nature so that’s how I think, if you don’t agree with me I can respect that.
See you around fellow Guardians.

5 AntwortenBearbeitet von Odysseus: 12/2/2015 5:23:50 PMGood points, a lot of people hammer this game and it's lack of content but have 1000 hours ploughed in to it. I don't know many games that people can sink multiple 200+ hours (3 characters worth) play throughs within 16 months of its release

That's cool, I hope you had fun.

Do you go outside?

Yeah I gave up after 9hrs. Throw it on the pile of pretty good but not as fun a destiny games.

1 AntwortenWhat happened to the other half of the map?

Fallout is so good for us alt-o-holics, though! I'll be back to Destiny I'm sure... just a matter of time...

So you killed bloatfly's for 90 hours to reach lvl 91 and ran threw the main story. smh
-
Lol that's true

100 hours is nothing for fallout, I was 40+ hours in before I even started doing the story missions. The reason people keep coming back to this game because they literally researched how to make it as addictive as possible. I do my raid runs on Tuesday then that's it for me, I'm just so bored of the same repetitive shit and the fact that most end game content isn't even worth doing anymore.

Only 100 hours? Git gud, scrub. ;)

They all come back. [spoiler]To Destiny[/spoiler]

3 AntwortenThe only reason destiny has that drive to play. Is because it's a semi competitive environment. You get to show off your shiney new loot to your friends and make them jelly so next week everyone comes back to get that same loot or better. Games like WoW have perfected this. A game that has a social hub to show off loot. People are more likely to pour in a ton more hours just to be in that elite 1%. If you're that sort of player. And I feel any serious gamer that really enjoys video games finds that game they enjoy and wants to hit that 1% group. I know I do. I loved my time in WoW. Being at the top of the hard mode raids on the elite HM loot made people drool over you. I love Destiny for that same fact standing in the tower at 318 challenge emblem with raid shader on and getting spammed invites for raids. Makes me warm inside. TL DR. suck it

I've got a lot less time in the game than you. I reached level 57, completed all three endings and got my platinum trophy. I love Fallout, don't get me wrong, but that's the thing about games like this: there is no end-game. Yes, you can keep playing after the "ending". Sure, it has the usual Bethesda "radiant content", where the Minutemen keep giving me quests to go help a settlement or establish a new one, and the Railroad will keep asking me to place a MILA unit on top of a building or rescue a synth. But you can only do so many of those before you become bored. There is no possible reward left in the game that I want. I have maxed out the mods on all the weapons I like to use, maxed armour, max settlement happiness, etc. I might do some more exploring around to get the few remaining locations I haven't discovered and looted yet. I do like doing that stuff, just to see the mini-story that happens in each building via the terminals and notes left around. And I'll definitely be back for each DLC pack. But for the most part, I'm done with FO4.

With skyrim I purposely didn't do the main story line for that very reason. Man the hours I put into that game....

8 AntwortenBearbeitet von Sanctus Michael: 12/2/2015 6:09:30 PMI kinda see your pov, but disagree with the edit. I don't do the main story straight away, I delay it, for the exact same reason. Once the main story is over, I feel no drive. But the main story for Destiny is over in 4 hours, not 100 or less. So how do you feel the need to play Destiny? The grind? This is where you and I part ways in opinion. I can grind whatever for 3-24 hours, days, weeks, and [i][b]not progress forward[/b][/i]. You said you have something to drive you forward in Destiny. I was at 297 light for 6 weeks. At 26-40 hrs of game play a week, what did the 156-240 hours work toward? Absolutely f*cking nothing. It was a complete waste of time. Thus, there was no "driving forward", there was a lot of "driving in place". And this is where you and I fundementally differ. I need my time to matter. To produce results. Destiny is the exact opposite of "time put in a game producing results comparable to that amout of time played." IB was the end to that 6 week stalemate. Thus, I will come back to Destiny for IB only. Once the week is done, "Deuces! I'm out!" Just my opinion. EDIT: I'm at around 240ish hours between 2 characters (I made 2 and play between both) and I'm still at level 39 on one and 21 on the other. On both I've played the main upto the next mission is going to the glowing sea. Neither has gone to the glowing sea yet. Building settlements, finding all companions, raising all companions appeal to "idolized" takes much longer than 100 hours. You want something to drive you forward, there's that. And at least I'M MOVING FORWARD. Companions appeal is growing with each minute played. Settlements improving with each minute played. Again, Destiny, 6 weeks and NO MOVEMENT. RNG and RNG methodology can suck my balls.

11 AntwortenBearbeitet von Kurumi : 12/2/2015 2:58:11 PMI can see your point... I beat the main story in Fallout 4 a week ago. I hit a rut after that, just wandered the wasteland (literally) in my combat armor with my trusty Hécate Ultima II at the ready (.50 Cal, any of you SAO fans will get the reference). Didn't find much to do for a good day until the odd little side quests would chain into something sweet. Oh, and I completely mapped out the Glowing Sea. I needed psychiatric help after that but that's not the point! Point is a lot of that exploring can lead to awesome little things, like the Silver Shroud quest line, Secret of the Cabot House, Confidence Man, and a couple of really sweet companions (Strong and Curie). Take that time to explore the map, you'll be rewarded for the time [spoiler]Bring MkVI X01 armor if you decide to map out the Glowing Sea... And a Gatling Laser, ya know what... Just bring every heavy weapon you can muster. You'll want em when you see a Legendary Mythic Deathclaw. And no, the råpe whistle doesn't work against them.[/spoiler]

I think you did way too much story and not enough random quest that popped up. I believe I am just over 80 hours and am lvl 40 on very hard difficulty.
-
It is in words!! Never finished elderscrole, oblivion, 3 worlds, whatever the others were. Maxed out what I thought was fun, and got bored. I haven't reached that point yet with this expansion.

Imo FO4 story was f'in terribad.

Bearbeitet von SquattingTurtle: 12/2/2015 5:59:34 PMFallout forced your roll way too hard. Sure you get many speech options, but most of the lead to the same end result. In fallout I was content with just walking around and exploring. Destiny is even worse because there is hardly a story to begin with and there isn't anything to explore.

Read the first paragraph. This is why I don't play single player games. Waaaaay to boring.
