Yes, because fallout 4 is a GAME. The things you build in it have direct gameplay value because they change how you PLAY the GAME.
And who are you to say there's no gameplay value in sandbox? If it took priority and people clearly appreciated what was added then that tells you it was valued. You personally just dislike it. I really don't see how you're failing to realize this. You're throwing tantrums as if the devs worked on Sandbox and decided to abandon the rest of the planned features when that isn't the case.
Who said I am complaining because I think doing that would "magically finalize within the hour, or tomorrow, or next month."?
Then what exactly are you hoping to accomplish here? What is the end goal with your tantrums?
Replying to bootl- ahem fanboys and shutting down their ridicilous excuses isn't the same as "throwing tantrums".
What exactly are you shutting down? People telling you pretty much what the devs themselves have said? What is gained by doing so? Again, if you think this is a scam and the devs are so scummy, what keeps you coming back?
Name 10 games that took more than 7 years to develop and still came out as a good game. Without googling, just from your memory. I bet you cannot do it. It isn't just what "I" think. Now, by all means go ahead and do use google, research and see what others think about this matter, see what others think about games that are stuck in development hell for years(whether intentional or not doesn't even matter at this point). And after witnessing the results of your own research come talk to me again about what "I" and only "I" think.
For one, I can't because I don't obsess over video game development time. I play games, if there's a game I don't like I don't keep tabs on it. If there's a game I'm interested in I don't do a countdown until it gets here, there are other games to play in the meantime. The only time I do somewhat actively keep track of games is if I've personally put money in and the developers have done something shady since - for example Project Helius' Fallen Doll. Two, even if I did keep track of development time, what do you gain to prove by my going off memory alone? Like what are you actually trying to cook here? You lost me with this one.
Yeah let me read all those excuses about how being able to play pong in a porn game matters more than implementing rpg mechanics to a game that claims to be an open world rpg
Maybe some people fell for those crappy excuses but I sure as fuck won't be falling for them. I have been playing porn games and games in general long enough to know the difference between legit problems with development and crappy excuses that are only there to prolong it.
I'm not sure if you're intentionally being obtuse here or what, but Pong and N64 Mario being made in Sandbox are two examples specifically from the devs to showcase and give ideas of what the Sandbox tools are capable of. I'm not sure how you took what I said and turned it into this.
If you shifted the red box a bit more to the left you'd also see where it says
Creating Wild Life

Creating
it's almost as if it isn't a finished product and all mechanics aren't in
Oh man, the game would surely magically improve instantly if no people criticized it and everyone praised it instead
I mean, critique is good, but what you are doing isn't critiquing. In all the replies to me so far you literally have not critiqued a single issue with the current state of the game that can be fixed in the short term. You're literally just throwing tantrums. You aren't saying anything constructive. You say, "well the game hasn't made any progress, it's just a mp4 viewer" so I tell you of the Sandbox, some of the things the devs have shown using the Sandbox tools, and where you can find other Sandbox creations made by the community, then you go on to dismiss the Sandbox's capabilities, " pong in a porn game matters more than implementing rpg mechanics to a game that claims to be an open world rpg".
If we're being real you aren't here to critique, you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. You've acknowledged that your complaining won't change anything in the short term yet you're still going to continue doing it despite there being no benefit to it. You're still going to continue downplaying any progress the game has made despite there being a tab full of changelogs listing everything added in the previous patches over the years on the first page of this thread.
You're just using "critique" to justify your tantrum throwing and raging.
I know damn well this game will never came out as promised, if it ever comes out(big if). Your answer is bootlickers and their pathetic excuse posts. Ever noticed how almost all of my posts in this thread are replies to other posts? No? Well, now you know.
No, because I don't visit this thread often. The times I have visited this thread and seen you posting comments it's always the same deal. If there are bootlickers here you're just as dedicated to this game as they are because everytime I see you posting it's complaining about something, and I do mean
complaining not critiquing.
Yes, very similar indeed. No gameplay, only sex animation viewer. Difference: only one of those claims to be an open world rpg.
Honestly it sounds like EA/WIP games just aren't for you, which is fair, not everyone
should get into these kinds of games either. The fact of the matter is that a lot of people just don't have the patience required to be involved in a game still in development. I still remember people claiming Baldur's Gate 3 was a scam and would never be completed while it was in Early Access because it was delayed and the devs only showed a portion of act 1 the entirety of the EA up until release.
