Subheader:

The survival genre is a crowded one, but if I know anything about gamers it’s that they love building bases and fighting hordes of zombies. So who could resist a game that does both?

I don’t know about you, but that’s NOT my definition of what makes any Fallout game great and I can EASILY resist another tower defense zombie game 🙄

    I hate the combined trend of:

    1. Not saying what the name of the game is in the article title

    2. Describing every new game as a combination of 2-3 top selling games.

    Yeah… while FO4 can revolve heavily around settlement-building, many (even most) players choose to avoid getting heavily-invested in it beyond what the game requires and choose, instead, to focus on the quests.

    I’m not one of those people (i get obsessed with settlements), but most don’t.

      Must be a sizable number still since they bothered to put it in starfield too for the sake of it, don’t even have to waste your time defending against raiders.

        oh, i’m not saying that it’s not a popular concept. i think it may have something to with FO4’s somewhat janky building system. Soooo many mods have been released to address its shortcomings. I can only hope that, in the years since, other games have done a much better job implementing the concept. FO4 would have been even better had the settlement-building tools (and the concept-integration itself) been better.

    This is normal though, bethesda themselves forgot what fallout was about and launched 76 with no NPCs.

    If they had said FO4 specifically I could understand. But as a whole? Dude only two games in the whole series have survival elements in them, and they’re not even the best Fallout games. They are, arguably, the worst.
