holy shit tumblr user paper-mario-wiki has finally mentioned paper mario

in your opinion was fallout 4 over-hated at launch or is it just one of those games you have to engage at it's own level (aka The Gamer's Bane)?

It's similar to Super Paper Mario in that it's a very well made and fun game, but it is inconsistent with how the series had been established to be for the previous games. This both in the aesthetic sense, where the retrofuturism and Jetsons-y visuals were cranked up from a 4 to an 11, but also a lot of core changes that people hated. This was stuff up to and including straight up retcons and contradictions, like Jet being mentioned in pre-war terminal entries, or specific power armor lore details that I've actually forgotten but apparently they were important to people. Some go as far as saying it's a soft reboot, which I think is accurate. On top of that, it's significantly more railroaded in its roleplaying possibilities than previous titles, locking you into the role of a grieving widow searching for your kidnapped child no matter who you wanted to be when the game came out, as well as drastically cutting down on dialogue tree diversity and intrigue. These two things you're able to augment with mods, Dana for instance has a backstory of a rogue Institute synth with the memories of a pre-war Vault Dweller who teams up with Nick Valentine to solve the mystery of a missing child. But I'm only able to experience that because a mod I have for skipping the game's intro allows you to pick specific points to spawn, and had to modify HUNDREDS of in-game dialogue interactions to cobble together NPC lines in a way that supports those different backstories when in reference to the main quest. And the fact that fans needed to do all that stuff is kind crazy. Cuz the fans aren't profiting from the game, it's Bethesda that is.

I don't think the game was overhated at launch, I think it was criticized for being completely different from what the entire rest of the series had been, and a letdown in the eyes of many.

I don't think its failings as a Fallout game disqualify it from being a good game, though in the eyes of many it does disqualify it from being a good Fallout game, which I can understand fully.

Favorite kind of character development is when a character is like "I don't care about this kid" then practically adopts said kid
