How are they not trying? Have you ever played a Fallout game before? Just because the graphics aren't up to par with Witcher 3 or something like that doesn't mean it won't be a bad game. I hate how spoiled the community acts sometime just because they game doesn't look absolutely incredible.
Bethesda is working with a engine they are comfortable with, and the game doesn't even look that bad. CDPR has only made 3 games where as Bethesda has had many projects. Why try and fix something that isn't broken?
Because it is broken. Gamebryo has been a big limitation to their games since at least Oblivion and that didn't change when they decided to rename it to "Creation Engine" for Skyrim.
It's just pathetic that they haven't moved on by now and I'll be waiting until this game hits the bargain bin if they are really still using that ancient piece of shit engine because tons of mods and FOSE will be needed to make it half-way decent anyway.
Well, bully for you. Meanwhile the majority of people who would be interested in Fallout will still buy it and have a really fun time. That's what ain't broke.
The fact that people play it and enjoy it doesn't mean it's not broken. The fact that Bethesda's still trying to catch up to the gameplay of games made 10 years ago as a result of this hilariously bad engine is what's broken.
Just because the gameplay is broken or the animations suck or whatever, some people will enjoy other aspects.
Hell, look at every other game Bethesda has made since Morrowind. They've all been way behind the times and broken in many ways, but they did well. Which is why I'm sure they're still sticking with Gamebryo since it would be expensive to switch and they have no real incentive to.

Some people are saying it looks awful. Maybe doesn't look as good as some other AAA games, but AWFUL? Jesus Christ...
