You don't have to shoot a weapon ever and go full melee instead. Or just use your fists and punch people lol. They probably have that experience mechanic (shoot a gun and you get better at shooting that gun) for every combat element in the game. I am guessing you can just hack people to death and play stealthily instead of shooting as well.
I can knife everyone in Call of Duty, doesn't mean it's fun to play that way. Games like Fallout that are mostly designed around shooting combat, I don't find fun to play as a melee character. You're just setting yourself up for a disadvantage for what, principle? Anyone with a minute sense of self preservation doesn't go into a gunfight with a hammer lol
But the point of this game is to play how you want. This is not a shooter first, it's an RPG with shooter elements. They're going to make every play style viable and fun. You can't compare this to cod at all.
They've said other things that didn't turn out to be true so I wouldn't rely on the "play how you want" too heavily. From what we've seen and what they've chosen to show us, this is very much a shooter/combat focused game with RPG elements. Until we see more, my opinion won't be changed on that.
They don't want to spoil every part of the game before release lol
They've only shown us MAIN story missions lol thats a bullshit excuse. If there's so much more substance to show, they should easily have been able to do that in a not plot spoiling way. Instead they chose to show some pretty key story elements that focused on combat. They shouldn't be surprised people labelling it a shooter when that's mostly what they've shown. So far we've seen less "rpg" gameplay than what we got with Fallout 4
Not really, just because they've only shown mostly shooting gameplay it doesn't mean there isn't different ways to approach the game.That’s kinda missing the point.
