I played the demo a couple of times over the last few days and here is my review:
The good:
- custom weapons+huds
I love how you converted standard weapons with just new crosshairs, sounds and muzzle decals into something new. If anything says "Fallout" in the game, its the weapons.
The Bad:
- level design
The whole thing looks like a multiplayer arena, and a bad one too. The buildings are unnatural empty, like tiny black wholes sucked out all the furniture and debris of every single building. And there is no logic to the grid of this "settlement" at all. Feels like running around an unused movie set.
- enemies
Orcs are not Supermutants. Warg-riding Orcs are
definitely not Supermutans. Just ridiculous. And they are stuck most of the time.
- gameplay
Killing everything that moves is NOT gameplay. Just boring.
- framerate
My PCs specs allow me to play everything on max settings, yet in your demo its a crawl half of the time - and it gets worse, if you decide not to immediately kill everything that moves.
The ugly:
- calling this "Fallout (whatever)"
If you put "Fallout" on the box than you have to take some effort to make everything look like Fallout. Otherwise just call it "Unused movie set multiplayer map for boring SP Orc-slaugther"
On my personal demo scale it's a 2 out of 5. However, if this would be "only" a customized weapon demo it'd be at least a 4 out of 5.
And I call it "a perfect example why doing fan/tribute games for award-wining commercial titles make mediocre FPSC games look bad and bad games even worse."
In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^
