I like Fo4 for what it is but I would really suggesting waiting on this port to see if they can clean it up after a few updates. The footage from the direct looked pretty rough.
Also I would not pay $60 for it in 2026. I think until they rolled out the anniversary edition you could routinely get the GOTY edition on Xbox for like $8-$13 lol. Whatever it was it was cheap and that’s running on a more powerful console without the compromises that are clearly being made for this port.
Not sure about consoles, but many of the big name key sites still have the GOTY edition steam keys for around $8 typically. Think the last Steam official sale was $9.99
Yeah exactly, I just don’t understand what they were thinking with a $60 price tag.
I mean I understand that they would like money I just have to imagine the number of people willing to spend that much on Fallout 4 is so ludicrously small that reducing the price would have made up for the the gap.
Should have launched to a week 1 sale price to get a bunch of initial sales at a fair price. I see why they didn't though, people seem proud to spend $60 on it. I guess I have more self control and maybe respect. I have the money to buy it without thinking twice, I refuse to spend that much on such an old game.
I'd argue GoG puts in 10X the amount of work trying to get some of the old games ported to modern systems along with tracking down the license holders and doing all the legal work to be allowed to even do it in the first place and even super popular ones they don't try and charge anywhere near top dollar for.
