    I happen to have a special affection for the Fallout universe, I think it has a lot of potential to be explored and make a great game. But so far it has disappointed me a lot, I've already finished the game several times and spent several hours playing the game, I have few hours on this account because I even bought a GOTY digital key.

    The mods add a quality of life to this game that Bethesda has no excuse even for the year the game came out the lack of creativity to make a great story without the two games Fallout 3 and Fallout having the main quest to save some of your relatives. In terms of gameplay compared to previous franchises it's a huge downgrade, the perk system is a totally lazy and boring system "more modern and simple", nobody asked for it!
    Yes, the Building Sims system is very funny, it brought diversity to the game, but it does not add new mechanics that add quality of life to the game, so much that it could have done with this game mechanic.
    Combat in the game is very boring they could have improved it because it's still the same combat since the previous ones.
    The difference between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 is just the disk space it takes up because in terms of graphics it wasn't even an update and even that didn't manage to make a beautiful game for height.    … Expand

    A big downgrade from the Fallout new vegas dialogue system has been simplified to only 4 options, also ammo type mechanic for weapons is missing only improvement ı see is graphics but it is to be expected due to advancement in hardware

    Este juego es un 9 si aplicas el parche (creado por fans) de tiempos de carga. De no ser así no llega ni al 5. Lo empecé hasta en 4 ocasiones y lo acabe desinstalando por ese motivo. Gracias que finalmente se pudo solucionar por la comunidad (no por Bethesta).

    Meu Deus, se eu ver a brotherhood of steel em mais um jogo de fallout eu vou virar o coringa, de resto: "Gun play" é a melhor da série, boa comunidade de mods (assim como todo jogo da bethesda), diálogos e história horripilantes e DLC's ruins.

    Fallout 4 does nothing for the fallout series except to continue the downward trend of quality started by fallout 3. The dialogue is the most poorly written of the entire series. Say goodbye to the varied and enjoyable dialogue of new vegas. Instead, your options are nothing but "yes" "no" "joke" or "tell me more". The quality seen in the factions of earlier fallouts is gone.

    Just a glorified looter shooter that is barely recognizable from its Fallout predecessors, extremely disappointing and i don't have high hopes for Fallout 5. Fallout 4 is a solid 3/10 pushed up to a 5/10 with heavy fan mods that make it a reasonable experience.

I bought new pc to play this game, because fallout 3 is one of my favourite games, and this looked like "more of the same" with better combat system and better graphic.

But there are no other positive aspects in Fallout 4. The story was interesting in the beginning, the only thing is, it never gets really engaging.

    The bugs were annoying but not so dramatics for me, until I found out that the factions didn't respond as them should. I did a mission where two factions were fighting themselves, I was supposed to fight against one of them too, but because of my good relations with them I could enter the base without fighting, until a turret shot at me and turned everyone aggressive against me again. Where in the world a turret is smarter than a human being and influence his actions? It should be the opposite!

    The factions bugs ruined my suspension of disbelief and in the end become worse because the game force you to kill everyone but your favourite allies.

    Where are the funny dialogues?
    Where are the interesting side quests?
    Where are the multiple choices to complete those quest?

    Maybe sacrificed to create a skins and a better dlc market...    … Expand

    The gameplay and overall atmosphere is great, some characters and quests are really interesting and some locations are just jawdropping. However there are a lot of flaws in the game itself: places often feel empty, locations look interesting but often don't hold anything of relevance for the story or the world they inhabit.

Power armor introduction feels a bit rubbish and regardless of your playstyle you are forced into encounters were violence are shooting is mandatory.

    All of that would score higher if it wasn't for the bugs and crashes. In a pc sitting in the 99% percentile at pc benchmark I encountered every bug and crash imaginable almost making me quit the game in numerous ocations.

    Examples:

    Game crashed when opening it, spent an hour fixing this issues

    Game crashed when fast traveling to the institute which is essential for the main story, spent hours troubleshooting this.

    Long loading screens, we are talking minutes not seconds. I have an SSD and it still can randomly take more than 3 or 4 minutes to load an area.

    Brown face glitch.

    Quest glitches which prevented them from finishing.

    Sudden deaths.

    Needless to say this is the main reason why the game scores so low.    … Expand

    - Shooting: better than FALLOUT 3, but still nothing to write home about at all
    - Settlement system: you either love it or hate it. I hate it. Fortunately it's not mandatory
    - Skill/Perk system: dumbed down even further from FALLOUT 3. There's no trade-off perks like in FALLOUT 1/2 & NEW VEGAS. You can raise SPECIAL skills or pick a perk at every level up and end up with a 10 in every SPECIAL skill.
    - Open World: basic typical Bethesda-like

    For example, Fallout 3 significantly altered the F1 and F2 isometric 2D engine to a complete 3D powerhouse. Bethesda did a satisfactory job with F3, and I nevertheless go back to it occasionally.

    This game was garbage. I couldn't even get half way through the main quest before quitting permanently. What little good that was left in the older Fallout games was gutted.

    Fallout 4 is a bad Fallout game and it not that good of a game in general. Fallout 4 is mostly a FPS game with a few RPG mechanics. the game have a lot of bugs. I don't like that there's no level cap.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love fallout, all of them, and sadly 4 is my least favorite, it's not by dar a bad game it's a good game but the only thing that reminds you of fallout is the lore and some weapons. The game scraps a lot of features that defined fallout being the more notable the fact that our protagonist speaks and he has already a background. Courier 6 has a background but it's one you discover while playing and it's enough that you get and idea of his past but no who he is, bc in NV you are the courier and you decide who is the courier, that can't be said about NATE/NORA bc whe alredady now they are a Housband/Wife from before the bombs fall who lived almost all theyre lives without nedding to survive or make hard decisions, that already tons down the role possibilities but when in top of that, the dialogue is a joke, we don't now what the protagonist is gonna say bc we only have 4 options that are always: Sarcastic, Agrresive, Question, Affable. To add to the problem of this game the story is really meh, in the new factions we have the Minutemen or well A Minutemen Preston you can at least decide if you want to help him regroup the minute men. The railway has more importance in this game wich is really cool and we finally see the institue : D. And it's really lame sadly, you can predict whats gonna happen the moment you enter Diamond city, i really didn't care about Shaun but even if i didn't care about him Nate/Nora does and that was a role killing feature really. Its really funny seeing how Fallout 76 has a more interesting questiine thanks to Wastelanders. Next time whe see a fallout, probably in 2028? or even more i hope they learn from what works in the old fallout games, and take some things from the new ones, but definetly please don't repeat this mess.… Expand

    It's absolute garbage, what Bethesda has done over the past years is pretty known all across the board.
    How could you ever imagine a Fallout game heavy on the FPS action when the shooting was always It's weakest part. Waste of time.

    I knew this game was bad about 80 hours into the game. The characters are simple, the plot is atrocious, and bugs and issues are all over this game. This is the game where Bethesda just stopped caring about the IP as anything other than a money machine.

    One tiny step forward from Fallout 3, one GIANT leap back from Fallout New Vegas. The hype has completely worn off, I can clearly see Fallout 4 for what it is. Dull.

    Fallout 3 made the world fun to explore. Fallout New Vegas made the world fun to be part of. Fallout 4 made the world shallow, repetitive, generic, and boring. Do you want a shallow, shoot 'em up, generic, dull (but    One tiny step forward from Fallout 3, one GIANT leap back from Fallout New Vegas. The hype has completely worn off, I can clearly see Fallout 4 for what it is. Dull.

    Fallout 3 made the world fun to explore.
    Fallout New Vegas made the world fun to be part of.
    Fallout 4 made the world shallow, repetitive, generic, and boring.

    Do you want a shallow, shoot 'em up, generic, dull (but vibrant game world), game lacking any depth where everyone wants you dead? *sigh* Fallout 4 is for you!
    Do you want a clunky but memorable experience? Fallout 3 GOTY and Fallout New Vegas UE are for you! Install Tale of Two Wastelands, profit. Play a game of caravan, stop by Agatha's house and say hi, that crazy lady in Girdershade wants all the Quantums? Moira wants you to do what in Minefield? FULLY-ERECT HAND PENISES! "You got lives in you, hard to kill. Storm, bullets, sand and wind, yet still you walk. For now." GARY!

    The Good:
    The Colors and the general atmosphere look so much better than Fallout 3 and NV.
    Huge vastly detailed and dense game world.
    Gun play is better.
    No Level cap.
    Easy Looting.
    Junk is now somewhat useful.
    3 of the companions are somewhat memorable. The rest are just boring.
    Dynamic Weather, shadows, lighting, and Physical Based Rendering.
    Beautiful animations

    The Bad:
    Ron Perlman does not say: War. War Never Changes.
    No FOV controls in game.
    No way to disable Head Bobbing.
    No visible holstered weapons like in previous games.
    Advanced graphics options have been completely gutted
    Quests are pretty much this: Go here, kill everything, take loot, return. What is this an MMO?!?
    Radio stations are pretty much meh. I miss Three Dog.
    You have to be the good guy, not the bad guy or the neutral/independent guy like in Fallout New Vegas.
    Oversimplified dialog system, you now have 4 options to choose from. With no indication of exactly what you’re going to say.
    Oversimplified RPG mechanics. Violence was often avoidable depending on your skills.
    Survival difficulty. No Console, saving is disabled. UGH.
    Almost all the NPCs are essential. In Fallout NV you had that fear of losing a companion during a battle.
    Settlement building is meh. It’s clunky and hard to place objects.
    Lots of boarded up nonexplorable buildings.
    Only one or two memorable fun quests that don’t feel like a grind.
    Why does everything want me dead?

    The Ugly:
    Complete lack of interesting locations with quests and unique named NPCs that have a story to tell.
    Fallout 4: Diamond City, Covenant, Vault 81, and Goodneighbor. Everywhere else just feels empty and lifeless.
    Fallout 3: Megaton, Rivet City, Arefu, Little Lamplight, Bigtown, Paradise Falls, Andale, Oasis, The Republic of Dave, Temple of the Union, Girdershade, The Citadel, Hell even downtown DC: The Washington Monument, Underworld, Lincoln Memorial. *Takes deep breath* Did I miss any? Yup, Ranger Compound, Grayditch, Dokov's Place, Tenpenny Tower, Meresti Metro, Canterbury Commons, Regulator HQ, Minefield, Vault 108, GARY!
    All of these locations have at least a population of 1, a quest, a story, a NAMED NPC, an NPC that doesn’t want you dead on sight, and most important of all depth. OK, ok yes GARY and Arkansas both want you to be very dead. The important thing to remember here is both those locations are memorable in some way shape or form.
    Fallout 3 has all these great locations with NAMED NPCs that have a backstory or a quest to give you.
    Forced to use the settlement system.
    Raiders! Raiders everywhere.
    Perk system overhaul and removal of skills.
    Fallout 3 has really beautiful water reflections and refraction. The water in Fallout 4 is flat and dull.
    Interior lighting is completely meh…. I see lots of round low poly shadow caster lights. Lights that don’t match the fixture. Ugly directional lights. Lights bleeding. Phantom lights.
    Tone Mapping. Adds an overexposed look and washes out some colors.
    The Season Pass. Fallout 3 has 5 DLCs, ALL good. Fallout New Vegas has 4 DLCs ALL good. Fallout 4 has what? 2 story based DLCs. Far Harbor: good. Nuka World: Raiders? Settlement DLC? Nope, just noooope. DO NOT WANT. Build a settlement, now what? Look at it, take screenshots, post on reddit? There is nothing to do, no one interesting to meet. ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP! UGH, what is it this time? Raiders on the other side of the map stole your socks?!? K thx bye. In Fallout New Vegas you could have a pet AND a human companion follow you around. It makes sense that you could have let's say Piper and Dogmeat follow you around. But NOOOOO you only get one. Graphically, Fallout 4 is a TES5 reskin with a crappy ENB thrown in. YUCK! TAA looks god awful. Obsidian’s writing is better than Bethesda’s. Obsidian could do it better in half the time it took Bethesda. Just like with Fallout New Vegas, they made it in what 18 months? Imagine for a minute if Obsidian had 4 years to work on Fallout New Vegas… OMG.    … Expand

    Bethesda: The Game 4. Boring, uninspired, tedious, shallow. Take your pick. You would honestly expect better from Bethesda in 2015, but you'd be expecting wrong. Meanwhile the gaming press is fawning over it and making Bethesda think they struck gold, so don't expect any significant improvements in the next Elder Scrolls either.

    After Fallout 3, there was a game called Fallout: New Vegas. It was critically acclaimed because it had really good writing. People looked past its many flaws; glitches, a consequence of Bethesda asking Obsidian to make the game in an afternoon, very ugly graphics for the time and not very fun combat.
    People looked past these flaws because the writing of the game was that good. Even    After Fallout 3, there was a game called Fallout: New Vegas. It was critically acclaimed because it had really good writing. People looked past its many flaws; glitches, a consequence of Bethesda asking Obsidian to make the game in an afternoon, very ugly graphics for the time and not very fun combat.
    People looked past these flaws because the writing of the game was that good. Even today, Fallout: New Vegas keeps a healthy 8.7 user score on this very website. However, Fallout 4 does not enjoy that luxury.

    Why is there such a large discrepancy between critic and audience scores? It's not because critics are out of touch idiot dumdums who are nitpicking and biased, but rather because their job is to literally put out a review. They can't do that one year after the game comes out, can they? I would reckon most critics put out their review within the first month of playing a game.
    And while that might be more than enough time to get through Resident Evil 2 or Super Mario Galaxy, it's not enough time to get through Fallout 4.
    I currently have circa 100 hours in the game, which I would consider very little, compared to my playtime for some other Bethesda RPGs and other Fallout games. This is still probably more time than what critics spent with it in the few weeks between the distribution of review copies and the lifting of the embargo, and most certainly more time than most of the 10/10 user reviews, that were written within 3 days of the game's release.

    What does this mean?

    It means this game that's been advertised as a vast and immersive timesink is being mostly judged by people who haven't even played it that much, and that inflates its review score to hell and back.

    Bethesda ruined the dialogue in a game that heavily relies on dialogue. Bethesda turned a game series that is known for deeply funny and interesting quests into a factory of "another settlement needs your help" quests. Bethesda fundamentally doesn't understand what makes their good games good and fun.

    In Fallout 4, a game advertised as an RPG, you play as Nate, a middle-aged wisecracking war veteran, or Nora, a middle-aged wisecracking wife of a war veteran. You are driven by one thing and one thing only, rescuing your son, whose name I remember starts with an S.

    Your character has the most vanilla voice actor Bethesda came across, who either has no emotion or all the emotions, and no in-between.

    The objective of the game is to find your son, and help settlements along the way. There are branching paths, and your character has mostly figured out how to be an independent, self-driven person, which is a large improvement from the "hey lone wanderer, go here, because your dad went this way" mentality of Fallout 3. It's still "I'm going to go there because my son could have gone that way" but it's better than being told what to do. Credit where credit is due.

    There are some branching paths in the story, similarly to New Vegas, but unfortunately there is very little in the way of consequences for your actions.

    The game leaves very little room for roleplaying beyond the most basic "will you be a good guy,,, or a dick" moral decisions. There are in fact more personalities beyond good guy and dick, and Bethesda doesn't seem to be aware of this.

    The quests are boring. The fact that you have a hard time telling radiant quests and regular, written quests isn't as much a testament to the amazing talent Bethesda has for making great radiant quest systems but more proof that their "real" quests are very bland and cookie cutter.

    This would all be fine if Bethesda finally decided to make a polished game, with fun combat. These would be flaws that people would look past. But that is not the case.
    The combat is boring and not engaging. The novelty of the VATS system has worn off. Every gun feels like a pea shooter. If you increase the difficulty, enemies don't get smarter AI as much as they get health buffs. And shooting at a guy twice is way more fun than shooting at them once.

    The game gives you power armour and lets you kill a deathclaw in its very beginning (or what would be the beginning if you could get past the 2-hour intro that Bethesda insists on putting in every Fallout game and that literally no one in the world likes) seemingly to make you feel like a badass and establish that the game won't make any effort to teach through dying or reward you for effort.

    Speaking of which, can we talk about the intro? What a way to set the tone! It's very frank and honest about what the game is: a linear corridor disguised as an open world, with the most boring characters in the world and nothing interesting to do. A chore.

    That's what this game is. A chore to play. And I'd like to say this review is a call to action for Bethesda, but I just don't believe they can make a good Fallout game, because they seem to fundamentally misunderstand Fallout. I hope this incompetence doesn't bleed to Elder Scrolls VI or Starfield.    … Expand

    The dialog system is SUCH a step down from the previous fallout games.

    Also the talking protagonist is a COMPLETE JOKE. Totally ruins the Immersion of the game.

    If it weren't for those 2 things, I may have been able to enjoy the game, but those two things totally ruined the game for me.

NOR does it have the intended effect, if you've been in that conversation and picked .. ya know what, this game has already been reviewed a million times so instead of an objective review I'll just be honest.
    This game isnt fallout. The social aspects dont matter at all, the companions are fluff and garbage, for the most part, the enemies look great, shoot great but are craptastic ~ too easy or too hard, cant make up its mind.

    Music is ripped from older games, sound effects belong in call of duty. Visuals are nice, but now its no longer an RPG with half a$$ed action elements, its action with half a$$ed RPG elements.
    The game doesnt let you play it and when you get hyped for any.. ANY part of it, you get shat on. The settlement building is useless, they wont defend themselves, and whether you actively try to 'break' the game by overgrowing cash crops... crisscrossing the wasteland with your unkillable transports to act as random infantry backups.. or just want extra places to store your gear, it makes it insanely easy. At least on the upper half of the map. You FINALLY get some decent difficulty once you get downtown, but by then you've spent SO much time up north and doing sidequests that it honestly makes the story pretty stupid. You jumped out of your cryochamber in the future to find your son but you got sidetracked for days.. WEEKS at a time doing go-fer fetch-me-everything-AND-KILL-THOSE-GUYS quests for people not worth your time.
    Even if you get over the fact that settlements dont dfend themselves, and you have all the DLC.. you'll find the settlement size limit to be pretty obnoxious, and the game breaking/ IMMERSION breaking bugs are EVERYDANGITWHERE.    … Expand

    Pros -Great visuals -great combat system Cons -where the Flying F to start.

Also in fallout 2 if you had intelligence 1 the dialogues where hilarious,Fallout 4 dosent have that.    review after 80 hours in(according to save file)

    -Great visuals
    -great combat system

    -dialogue options are either yes or no. FFS in the very first area concord if you talk to preston garvey and say no i wont help you the game will force you to accept his quest and help him oO

    -easy to miss half the game due to interesting stuff being in holotapes.Sadly when you pick the holotapes they dont autoplay so if you missed the name of the holotape good luck finding it in your inventory. No sort by last added either.

    -When you try to sell stuff you dont know what you gave the seller.Mega fail the selling system is going backwards at least 50 steps.

    -Game encourages exploration but if you arent meticulous you might skip interesting areas and miss upgrades to your attributes and skills. Or you could alt tab

    -Guess what bethesda dosent alt tab,you game will get messed and you will need to alt f4 yay

    -Hacking is useless in this game,If its something important theres a key nearby.Also to hack robots you not only need a perk,you also need to find a book in the wasteland and even then its totally useless. Boggles the mind how they did some stuff :/

    -Also some stuff cant be done while in power armor which means you must get out do your stuff get back in. Not a lot but enough to make one angry. Talk about shooting ones self in the leg here

    -Last but not least the option to make your town is good but would be better if you just got the materials and someone else handled it. Theres a mod for that but it the whole town feels like it was slapped in the game at the last second just cause

    -ghouls walk and act like they came from Doom,they re fast and also dodge,Not how ghools are supposed to work in the fallout universe

    so what grade to give this game.I d say a 4.If you gind a goty at 30 bucks or less its a good purchase.Otherwise stick with fallout 2.Those guys knew how to make a game, or try new vegas way better than fallout 3 or 4.    … Expand

    Only PROS: It actually runs on day-one, unlike other games (*cough* Batman: Arkham Knight *cough*)

    Here are the MAIN problems briefly:

    -Graphics out of a 2000's game. Sometimes they are so badly done they look cartoonish, like Telltale's Walking Dead/Wolf Among Us.
    -Nice that everything is voiced, however you are limited to 4 answers per dialogue including the classic (Witty, Kind, Evil, No ty) - How innovative!
    -You basically get the Power Armor 15 minutes into the game, taking any challenge out of it.
    -No real Survival theme. More like a First Person Shooter
    -The towns are tiny. Even the supposingly "Jewel" of the game, the big, main settlement - Diamond City, is as small as Dawnstar in Skyrim...and feels like its been rushed - like a copy-paste of megaton from Fallout 3.
    -Still use the same weird "hacking" of computer terminals in which you have to guess 4-5 times and then wait to try again.
    -Skill not high enough? Forget trying. Unlike Skyrim in which you could ATTEMPT to break a Master lock (even with level 1 lockpicking), in Fallout 4 you simply are locked from doing so if you don't have the appropriate perk unlocked.

    -Dialogues are plain childish - no imagination or creative thinking behind them.
    -Story is boring and uninteresting. Nothing that makes me want to investigate and find out what is going on (bad graphics add to that).
    -On dialogues, now you can fully be in 3rd person and look around. However, the camera goes nuts and shows blank walls, or it fully zooms on NPC's hair, etc.

    -Holstered weapons dissapear - nothing at your sides.
    -Enemies get stuck, jump around, run in T-pose. Quest NPCs bug and roam to places unknown, making quests unable to complete.

    -No RPG soul in it. More like an FPS like CoD.
    -Landscapes are simply bad. Nothing breath-taking like Skyrim - hell, I could just sit in front of a river and watch the scenery in Skyrim!
    -Wax museum character models - although character creation looks dope, the poor graphic quality and the same base, copy-pasted face for NPCs ruins it all.
    ALSO: Bethesda didn't even bother changing the hand meshes. Play Male or Female character, your hands use the same (male) model. I played 10 minutes on my female character accidentally this morning, and I realized it when I went 3rd person that I play a female. The hands textures are the same FOR CHRIST SAKE.

    -You need three hands to play (REALLY? WASD, MOUSE, AND ARROWS? SERIOUSLY BETHESDA?)
    -Keyboard keys are hardcoded, for example you can't switch the F-key back to 1st/3rd person like it was in Skyrim - forcing you to use "V"

    More, but it's adding to the inevitable: Let's hope that the modding community can fix this mess.    … Expand

    FO4 requires over 70Gb of mods to even begin to make the game fun, and this is without the HD DLC. Not 3D assets to make the game look better.

This being compared to about 10Gb or less of mods in all previous titles.

    There's a good reason why the Fallout community is the most negative communities of all time. With the release of F76 all the glaring issues specific to F76 ignited a garbage fire that burned all the way back to Morrowind. Even the good games are tarnished by the same poor design/development at Bethesda Game Studios specifically.

    The Mod Devs, Mod Authors, or Modders get to see the quality of the work put into the game, and let me tell you that work is messy & poor quality. We're officially sick of fixing this. We are sick of playing this. We are sick of being tricked into buying poor quality games based on trickery and deception. Then you still have a host of anti-consumer practices to reason with after those facts.

    2018/2019 Zenimax Media/Bethesda Studios/Bethesda Game Studios has burned itself in a garbage fire from 2004 to 2030. This is solidified by the fact that there are so many other games which are higher quality while being more fun to play. All things being equal those better games win, and not even the people that love these games can stop that from happening.

    Let's just base the review on that I have to spend 6 months working on FO4 just to get it to begin to reach a playable state. Yeah, I still play these games. I still work on these games. But it's a dispassionate thing. Circling the drain on my way out. There were good things to experience with these games in the work that we are allowed to perform on the games work/play, but that depends entirely on if the publisher/studio can make a decent game. That just isn't true anymore after 2018.

    Sorry for the bad news. The 2004-2018 work/play Bethesda party is over.    … Expand

Also did I forgot to mention, that there are always only 4 dialogue options? Movement. F4 introduces sprinting from Skyrim where you have stamina which is tied to action points, so now if you want to get somewhere fast, be careful, because you might run into enemies and you won't be able to use VATS. Is this a joke? You've made a short game, so you've added sh***y sprinting that ends every 10 seconds? Where's the running from F3 or NV? Where you would press capslock and the character would always run without getting tired? The other thing missing is the "move button". In F3/NV you would press "q" and the character would move on its own. Well, you won't find this in F4. Thank you Bethesda... remind me to never buy anything from you ever again. But that's not the end of BRILLIANT changes. Remember VATS? Well, now it doesn't stop time. It just slows it down and if you won't make your decisions quickly enemies will hit you. WTF is this again? Why am I being rushed? I always loved the VATS in previous games, you could just relax, choose what body part you want to shoot, maybe drink some tea in meantime, while watching how enemies get torn into pieces. Well now that's gone, thank you Bethesda. You know what's not gone? Bugs. I played the GOTY edition with all the patches. I managed to fall under the world map 8 times. Not kidding. Every bug you saw in Fallout 3 is here again. Hmm I wonder why... maybe because it's the same engine just with a different name. You almost fooled me Bethesda... almost. So, we've established it's the same engine, but you know what's not the same? The requirements. I'm not a type of person, that cares about graphics, but if your game has such big requirements, I'd like to see better graphics. Instead we have sh***y graphics that require a huge PC to run, which is a joke. The optimalization doesn't exist in F4. This game should be able to run on a 1-core 1gb ram 512mb graphic card setup on ultra with 60 frames per second, because it looks like the game was made for such build. But who cares, right? Surely Bethesda doesn't. Let's move on to more funny stuff. The stuff that was the core of NV, F1 & 2, even F3. It's the quests. In previous games, they were more open, we had a few routes to complete them and usually you had a choice how to lead the quest and how it would end. Well forget all about it. Welcome to the "rpg" game where most of the missions are "go talk to someone, he'll tell you what/who to kill, do that, come back, here's your f***ing payment, now get lost". Yep, welcome to Commonwealth. The most funny stuff when it comes to the quests is Preston. He will harass you and talk about "another settlement needs your help". Then he'll mark the location of the settlement on your map and I don't even wanna know how many types of these missions are out there, because I maybe did 4 and all of them were the same. Someone is attacked, you must go and get rid of the problem and do it all over again someplace else. This is insanity. It's what Vass warned us about. The main story wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good. From characters, I really liked Nick Valentine and Piper. I also remember the dog who probably had more charisma than most of the npcs in the game. But in the end the story gets wrecked, because the game forbids us from making our own decisions. This is NOT New Vegas. There are two endings for the game and they both suck. You will not be able to make peace with all the factions, which is ridiculous. Also, if the game establishes that people can send their minds into synths and live in their robot-like bodies, then why would we care about anyone dying especially at the Institute. Logic is not something you will find in this story, which is hilarious, because the game literally focuses on science. This is what happens when you let fake gorillas write your script. So the story is a let down, there is almost none rpg elements left, the shooting is okay, but Fallout isn't supposed to be an fps game. Doom, Blood, Serious Sam, Quake, Painkiller are FPS and they do it well, F4 doesn't. They've also added crafting tools and emphasis on building your base and upgrading it. This might be the worst thing in the game. I don't want Minecraft in Fallout. This is tedious. To build something you will have to acquire items, so everything that is based around the settlements will include going somewhere and finding the tools you need to build the stuff you need to build. It's just a big waste of time and making this a center of your game was a big mistake. So, what's good in Fallout 4? Not much, mostly a few quests and some characters. Don't waste your money or time on this game. Life is not eternal and there's no afterlife. Spend your days on something worth your while. Pickens condemns!… Expand

What makes Fallout 3 and more importantly Fallout New Vegas fantastic games was not the looks or the shooting mechanics but rather the amazing and well thought out quests, unique and interesting locations, compelling dialogue/characters, and a story that makes you wonder if your truly making the morally right (or wrong if your playing a evil character) decision, as well as having an impact in the Fallout universe. The new additions of crafting weapons and home building is uninspiring. When getting unique weapons tied to quests or beautifully imagined locations in New Vegas your left with a feeling of accomplishment rather then the bland and easily collected modular weapons in Fallout 4. Having played the game years ago and revisiting it when possible New Vegas still leaves players daydreaming of the days they played and slowly discovered all the interesting intertwined story elements unlike Fallout 4's leaving you to forget much of the locations (excluding Far Harbor) and story elements. Many new to the series might wonder why so many reviews are unhappy with the game they might find very interesting, but to those who played the original Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas even when being released 5 years prior (New Vegas) are still assuredly better iterations in the series and a more indents look at the Fallout universe, while only being in development for 18 months (yes, obsidian developed the game in its entirety in under 2 years). I could go on and on but if your interested in playing a real Fallout 4, purchase New Vegas and enjoy the amazing stories in the game (use moods if you want a gamely experience similar to that of Fallout 4).… Expand

    After terrible first couple of hours Fallout 4 pulled itself together and ultimately was almost as fun as The Witcher 3. There’s a huge chasm between these two games in terms of technology (F4 looks like a X360 game), but their open worlds are equally good and Bethesda did a better job with crafting. [01/2016, p.42]

    This isn’t the step forward I expected, though. Here we are, the first Bethesda game on a new hardware generation, and I can’t help feeling like we’ve regressed—like Fallout 4 really is Oblivion-with-guns. A decade later, it certainly makes many of the same mistakes.

    It’s easy to get carried away by Fallout 4’s massive open world. While the gunplay is much improved and the quests fun, I found the UI lacking on the PC. The inventory and build menus are really tedious to use. [Dec 2015]
