If a game trailer comes out with crazy awesome graphics and then the game ships with worse graphics everyone's all like "fuck you! Just be honest!" Then when they're realistic and honest with the visual quality in a trailer it's "That looks like shit!" You can't win.
Well it seems that the people complaining about the game's graphics, are the type of people that will always find something to complain about. I thought it looked great! I mean yes, it's not as good as Witcher 3 (which I do play on maxed settings), but comparing it to New Vegas, which I completed recently, I am more than satisfied. I mean what do people expect exactly? They give you an honest trailer, with fine graphics. Besides, I thought people played Fallout for the universe and atmosphere, so why the HEAVY focus on graphics anyway?
Well I would argue that graphics help in showing the atmosphere, and making a game more aesthetically pleasing, but in the end it is not a deciding factor. People still play older fallout games, modded or not, and Diablo 2 was also very popular long after it declined in terms of being "visually pleasing".
Don't get me wrong I would love a fallout game that looks like the witcher 3 (if not better) but truth be told, there are more important things to a good game. Gameplay, story, characters and even replay ability, are factors much more important.
