games website "Radiation 4" detailed review: a classic nine-point masterpiece that cannot obscure the flaws

Bethesda is an epoch-making game giant, she and those who hold a huge amount of capital to occupy high-quality resources, the annual rip the bone, kill the egg of the game industry trust is different, people adhere to her concept and style, create their own road, let you change the sea, ever-changing, B society has been two ears out of the window, only do big sand table.

Even though she has only made an orthodox sequel to "Radiation" for nearly a decade, although this "Radiation 4" is full of defects and bugs from head to toe, when "Radiation 4" appeared in front of us, almost no one can resist its charm, this has nothing to do with feelings, this has nothing to do with technology, and the current trend of the next generation of games, this is naked hard power crushing, As for this year, in the RPG world, Fallout 4 will easily beat the world.

Despite the second-rate screen, despite the BUG, but as soon as everyone enters the radiation wastelanders world, you will forget all the uncomfortable and unpleasant, just like the Elder Scrolls five years ago: Like Skyrim, she will be able to beat all next generation RPGS head-on, including the once-magnificent Pillars of Eternity, Dragon Age 3, and The Witcher 3 to the throne of the year. This winter, after four years on sale, we're finally not so bored.

In fact, in the second half of this year, many people have returned to the world of Skyrim and New Vegas nostalgia, people in the endless wandering exploration waiting for Fallout 4, those fast food RPG can not satisfy them, they need a real free land, they need a fully customized self, they need a solo life. Need a world full of sadness and thinking, only the B society understands them.

So when the Fallout 4 trailer was released, players shouted, "shut up and take my money." The author would like to say that "Radiation 4" is worth everyone to buy a legitimate collection, for a company like B society, it should be prosperous for thousands of years, we have the ability, like their games, should do our part, although they have never encrypted, and sales are explosive.

Since its release, Fallout 4 currently holds the highest player online record for a non-social game. Bethesda's open-world RPG had 290,461 peak players, nearly 100,000 more than the 196,700 that Grand Theft Auto V had at its launch.

First, should we focus on the picture?

Should we focus on the picture? Everyone must think that the author's sentence is a nonsense, in this era, who is not the picture party? Who doesn't have an association for facial control and appearance? Gorgeous, realistic graphics can be enjoyable, but that's not what games are all about. What kind of picture quality is called good picture quality?

In the so-called flood of next-generation games today, the picture quality of "Radiation 4" is really not much, if you stick your eyes on the screen to see the texture to see the details, may not be higher than four years ago, "Elder Scrolls 5" where to go, so when the game is not sold, many people listen to the wind is rain, to make a big news, say: "Fallout 4 is just Fallout 3 DLC, Fallout 3 power enhanced."

In some ways, there is a certain truth in this, and it is harmless to say it as a joke, but it is a little unfair to generalize. As far as the author is concerned, "Fallout 4" has an essential improvement in picture quality compared to "New Vegas".

First of all, the global lighting improved the texture of the texture of the map, before we in the b club's game is difficult to see reliable lighting system and detailed texture map, even "Elder Scrolls" such a magnificent game, can not be closer to see the turf and soil, in "Radiation 4", these are done, at least not full of dog teeth. Even the luster of metal, dog hair and human hair can be clearly displayed, and the vision is more beautiful, completely rid of the dim and miserable phenomenon of "Radiation 3", although the same is the end, "Radiation 4" this land is showing endless vitality.

"Radiation 4" character pinch face system has also been greatly improved, the appearance of the character has a greater diy space, as long as it is not hand residual party, you can pinch the way you want to look, I believe that everyone will not go to ridicule people set. The overall art of the game has made great efforts, just like the Elder Scrolls 5 of the year, the hard power of the engine is not high, but it has made a big scene that makes everyone very comfortable. And the optimization of the game is very strong, the author GTX960SLI graphics card, open extremely high is also very smooth, the whole 60 frames, CPU and video memory occupation is not high.

The landscape of the Wasteland world does not make people feel grim (at least on the surface), and even will linger on this apocalyptic atmosphere. Under the cloud of nuclear explosion dust for more than 200 years and the ravages of gamma rays, it is still blue sky and white clouds, sunny, transparent vistas, and clear rivers. If it is not for the alarm of those rays, those dangerous mutated animals and predators, You'll probably walk to the bottom of the mountain like you did in the world of the Elder Scrolls and sit and watch the clouds rise.

We have all experienced the era of video card crisis, "Crisland" generation of beauty can almost make you forget the battle, "Battlefield 3" some screenshots are almost photo grade, "Subway" series of special effects is surprising, to the next generation, it is even worse, if you have enough video memory and 4k display, then the display effect is Mars level. However, we are only human eyes, leaving the screen one meter can not distinguish the difference between 1080p and 4k, in today's more and more excellent lighting system, the number of maps and the number of polygons difference, is still not so easy to see.

In fact, the quality of video games, still entered a bottleneck period, no matter how the number of tiles, also can not play a big role, you can compare this year's capacity of up to 55g "Call of Duty 13" and four years ago less than 10 G "Battlefield 3", in fact, there is not much progress, as long as the Angle selected well, The same kind of photo effect and a screen full of shit.

If you have to say that Fallout 4's graphics are not good enough, that is also a fact, but it is an unfair double standard fact, because you can find a similarly huge open world, the same huge map, the same RPG full of ultra-high degrees of freedom, this time we compare the picture, at this time, you can't pull GTA5 as an RPG.

Second, nostalgic and thought-provoking plot

Unlike the Elder Scrolls series of fantasy and nonsense, the plot and story depth of the Fallout series are worth missing for every generation, players who have played 1, 2, 3 and New Vegas know that the Fallout series is not simply refreshing entertainment, so that your adrenaline is pumping, but some sad lonely tangled stories, when you finish playing, May not be able to feel simple happiness, more is inexplicable melancholy.

This is a cliche and vulgar American science fiction story, showing a post-apocalyptic world and a group of post-apocalyptic ordinary people, the game is set in the post-apocalyptic city of Boston, Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington will appear in the game. The protagonist survives in the conspiracy, loses in the conspiracy, and is reborn in the apocalypse.

Imagine a sunny, peaceful morning, you and your husband chatting over coffee, teasing the honest robot housekeeper, teasing your son, the black and white TV rustling the news, when suddenly a nuclear bomb falls from the sky, you rush out of the house with the baby, running with the army and the chaos, seeing the white light and the mushroom cloud, Hide in the shelter of a scientific research institution, and then be enveloped by a conspiracy, you are frozen and hibernated, in the gap between thawing one day, you see the children in the freezer are taken away, your husband is shot, you continue to be frozen in pain and anger, until the end of the whole shelter, when you open the freezer, you only see the cold body of your husband, The entire underground shelter is dead, all life is dead, and when you come back to the light of day, you find this town so strange, and when you return home, you find your robot rusty, but still tending the plants, he tells you that you've been gone for 210 years.

He said: "For over 200 years, I had no one to talk to, no one to serve, I was waxing the floor every day, but the fallout from the nuclear explosion... But I can't get rid of it." This line alone could be nominated for an Academy Award, we always praise those excellent game stories, calling them interactive movies, this time, the writers of the B club refused to accept.

We can see the real emotions everywhere, and we can see the game's nod to the previous game in the glimpses, your Mister Handy "Crunchy" home robot, and the Fallout 3 model that ruined your birthday cake. The dog that accompanies you on your adventures after the ordeal, the German Shepherd, looks like Fallout 1

Dogmeat, which was originally taken from Mad Max, appears in almost all Fallout games. When the door of the lower shelter opened, the familiar "War never changes" rang out again. We can hear that familiar music in The game, and the music, like the other Fallout series, comes from The Ink Spots.

We can see all the landmarks of Boston, still standing 200 years after the nuclear explosion, and Boston's tall, rundown minaret, standing in the sunset, is the Bunker Hill monument commemorating the first major conflict between the British and the colonial militia.

Abandoned for two hundred years, the first land sailboat, the frigate USS Constitution in honor of the United States Constitution, has been added to the game's steampunk black technology to become an airship. The square, with its flickering lights, dim and dangerous, is known as Skerry Square. You'll walk past Fenway Park in Boston, which used to be packed with people, and you'll think of Red Sox games and the loud waves. In Boston's Old North Church, you can see a heroic equestrian statue of Paul Revere, the famous patriot who warned the militia of the coming British army hundreds of years ago before the battles of Lexington and Concord.

The story structure and task network of the game are still non-linear, and do not rely on intense fighting to promote the rhythm, the game of B club requires you to have a curious and bored heart, you should not only chase the task, you should go around more, explore more, interact with the dog, talk to the NPC, break into a house, and transform their own haven and power armor.

The exploration and battle of the free world

The combat experience is very much like the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, after all, this is the game made by the original team of Skyrim, compared with the previous game and New Vegas, this game is probably the best "Radiation" with shooting feel and melee combat feel, after all, we have no hope for this piece, because such a big open world, and taking into account the action feel is quite difficult, which is not the strength of this engine and this team. After all, all we need is a new Fallout, and nothing more.

However, the actual performance of the game surprised us, when we opened the first shot, swung the first stick, and ran and jumped for the first time, we found that it was much higher than the feel of "Fallout 3" and "Ancient 5", as long as the aim was accurate, almost all of them would hit the enemy's body and burst a cloud of plasma, although the sound of the gun was not clear enough. The distance of the attack is still difficult to determine, but it is a remarkable improvement.

Players can upgrade to create their own talent type, which is similar to the old roll, but also the tradition of B club. Your strength, agility, luck, intelligence... .. Determines both your ability and your destiny. You will bring the Beep kid personal computer like the previous game, through the simple interface to manage everything you, including equipment, items, mission maps, your good dog will accompany you around, listen to your orders, but also a good helper in melee, it will be ferocious to the opponent, bite the throat of the enemy.

The game can change the perspective by scaling the scroll wheel, the first person and the third person can be relaxed, but due to some bugs, the perspective can not be switched over, the shooting slow shot under V.A.T.S is very amazing, just like the Elder Scrolls slow shot finish, we can watch the enemy being shot in slow motion, fragmented, and flesh flying. It seems that the production team has learned a lot of experience and lessons, and has taken advantage of the advantages and avoided the disadvantages.

There is also a powerful weapon diy system in the game, players can give full play to their subjective initiative to transform and upgrade their weapons and equipment, to make food, to dress up the house, you collect a variety of groceries have its purpose, and the emergence of dynamic armor, let the game appear more fun, when you put on a powerful exoskeleton dynamic armor, When you use Vulcan cannons to unilaterally kill random soldiers, it will remind you of the feeling of call of duty. I'm already looking forward to the huge mods coming like the sea.

In general, this is a very high degree of freedom of the sand RPG, we can not use it as FPS and ACT to play, some young new players ridicule the game in the equipment rough ugly, dirty tasks, I can only say that this is not a picturesque fantasy magic world, this is the end of the world, this is the rest of the dust, welcome to the waster.

Music and sound effects

All kinds of familiar nostalgic music, we can face the familiar picture and melody, think of those familiar and unfamiliar stories, and even have a feeling of home, the percussion sound effect has been improved, no longer like the previous generation of radiation and elder scrolls so dull and boring, especially the Vulcan cannon and laser gun bombardment sound effect, quite reliable.

Visual effects: 9 points

Story and Mission system: 10 points

Gameplay for combat and exploration: 10 points

Music sound effects: 10 points

Flaws: lots of bugs, low user friendliness, obsessive-compulsive conversation rounds, the world is not big enough, only Boston, Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, should open all cities in the United States (hahaha)

Overall review: 9.75 points, buy buy buy!!
