My heavily patched and modded version of Fallout 4 GOTY review:
Cons:
On PC this game requires mods and to edit its files to work properly which is really despicable
Horrible engine utilisation to not fully use the GPU and bottleneck the use of the CPU
FPS Fluctuating drastically (12 FPS-95 FPS That is despicable)
FPS is tired to gameplay and load screens which slows down loadingMy heavily patched and modded version of Fallout 4 GOTY review:
Cons:
On PC this game requires mods and to edit its files to work properly which is really despicable
Horrible engine utilisation to not fully use the GPU and bottleneck the use of the CPU
FPS Fluctuating drastically (12 FPS-95 FPS That is despicable)
FPS is tired to gameplay and load screens which slows down loading times and breaks the game past 75fps
The cities not being open in the world-space to reduce loading screens
FPS Stutter issues
No FOV Slider
Really limiting Rebind-able key system
Really inconsistent environmental textures
Poor facial and clothing textures, inconsistent character animations and extremely poor lip-sync technology
Flimsy Dialogue camera
Weak antialiasing that creates a blur effect
My spouse never responds to the explosion glitch
Infinite water splashing glitch
Vault door not opening glitch which is game breaking
Horrible tutorials for the settlement system and other systems
Settlement system should be more optional by having a strong auto build settlement type of feature so that you would be able to never touch the settlement system (apart from making the player aware of it) but to not suffer as a result of that
Some poor UI
No traits system
Horrible hacking mini-game
Not able to climb ledges
It being 200 years later and almost nothing has happened to the wasteland in terms of progression which is ridiculous
Inconsistent/bad faction reputation and general reputation system
Predefined character which restricts what your character can be for an RPG
Shaun being kidnapped is supposed to give the character urgency which simply doesn’t work for an exploration game especially when both the character's spouse and son aren’t developed before we are supposed to care that they have been taken/killed
Restricted to a horrible dialogue system which has to be 4 no matter what
Charisma is the only thing that matters in dialogue with very few exceptions
Poor story and character pacing/building
Really poor writing
Really poor balancing and difficulty inconsistency for combat
Carry weight is really unbalanced
Too many settlements that weren’t varied or interesting enough unlike the world space itself
A lot of really shallow quests
Morally uninteresting most of the time
Very very few choice or choices making changes in quests and the stories in a **** RPG
Almost impossible to even be an evil character
Pros:
One of the best world-space/open world in any game ever telling its own stories visually
All of the crafting systems is amazing
Great first person shooting mechanic, in my opinion, making fallout finally playable (I need Fallout 4 New Vegas in my bloodstream)
The Art-style is **** fantastic and realised amazingly
The 1960s/vault-boy type aesthetic is perfect The companions (apart from Preston Garvey) and the companion system is exceptional
All of the modernisation from previous games that aren’t in the cons are done really well in my opinion
The addictive nature of the game even with flaws and all
The feeling of unlimited content
All the attention to detail can be seen in things like the easter eggs
The power armour system is a drastic improvement
How easy it is to be immersed into this world
The satisfying looting system
Overall 6.5/10… Expand
