    What needs to be said that hasn't already? Fallout 4 was not the game we were promised.

    Thankfully it seems that I wasn't alone in my immense disappointment of this game, the 0/10 scores are definitely not justified but simple the reaction of incredibly angry fans. Had this game came out under another name, anything other than Fallout, it would have been met with a decent reception and    What needs to be said that hasn't already?

    Thankfully it seems that I wasn't alone in my immense disappointment of this game, the 0/10 scores are definitely not justified but simple the reaction of incredibly angry fans. Had this game came out under another name, anything other than Fallout, it would have been met with a decent reception and probably been a 7-8/10 game. But that is not the case here, Fallout is an old franchise with a hardcore, dedicated core fan base that froths RPG, so it's no wonder so many people have reacted so negatively to what was delivered.

    The mod community will surely come in and clean parts of this game up, provide alternative entertainment and quest but the real problem that no mod will ever solve is the ingrained linear story, the voiced dialogue, which leads to the offensively simple response options of Yes/No/Maybe/Info, the S.P.E.C.I.A.L system and tied perk chart and the basic idea that you cannot be your own character.

    You are Bethesdas character, going through Bethesdas world, making Bethesdas choices, being who Bethesda says you are.

    THE GREAT -
    - Weapon Modding
    - Armor Modding
    - General Gun Play

    THE OKAY -
    - Base Building/Settlements
    - Graphics/Performance (worked on my PC with XBOX controller really well)

    THE BAD -
    - Removal of Skills
    - Dialogue Options
    - Voice Acting
    - Removal of Karma/Reputation
    - Removal of Hardcore/Survival Mode (despite the world still being littered with water, food and cooking stations?!)
    - Small/Empty Map
    - Repetitive Enemies/Quests
    - Sooo many more, just read other negative reviews

    Fallout 4 was going to be my life for the next few months, hell, I had even pre-ordered the collectors edition I was THAT excited. That excitement has already gone, I will drop at least 100 hours into this game (60hrs already) but as for replay-ability? What's the point? Your character isn't unique to bother doing the game again, it only has 2 different endings so you might bother to do the game again, but seriously, after playing it once you'll be done.

    Go get New Vegas during a Steam sale, watch a youtube video on what mods to install, figure it out like a big boy and enjoy a vastly superior game to this embarrassment.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright. I love the series, I absolutely do. These are my impressions 4 hours in. The gun mechanics are fantastic. The gun mechanics just works. Fallout 3 had clunky mechanics, VATs felt at home in this world, FO4 fixes this and I am never clicking Q. The guys are enjoyable and seamless. The radio host is hilarious. The voice acting is good. The lighting looks great. I forgot how much I enjoyed doing the hacking mini-game. Alright, I can stop here. Onto the bad.

    The quests so far have hideous dialogue. Early in the game you meet up with the minuteman. They immediately lead with there being power armor on the roof; they have no reason to trust the main character, they are concerned about getting this power armor but also seem unconcerned with the armor falling into the wrong hands. Weirdness of this nature continues with almost every quest.

    The map is tiny and completely devoid of anything resembling historical new England. Seriously, there are no features of Concord MA that look anything like Concord. The geography isn't even remotely similar. Concord is built around a roundabout, this is missing. This isn't concord. Similarly unrecognizable Bedford, Lexington, and even Boston.

    The game doesn't look good. The textures--while they use 3GB+ video ram--do not look good.

    The AI is quite bad. You can get monsters to glitch into corners and trap themselves, as I did with the first death claw. Monsters will yell that they saw you before turning. Monsters will not see you when you are really close. It is bad.

    The dog is really glitchy and annoying. Sure he can open doors and heals instantly when you travel through load screens. Whatever, companions are just as bad as they were before. No points deducted.

    The game runs like absolute **** This will be fixed, i know. But it really runs worse than my old hardware did on fallout 3 and doesn't look much better/ Not marking down any points for this.    … Expand

    Too many problems that I end up dropping the game after a few hours. A lot more bugs than I expected at launch. Dialogue is a huge step backwards from previous games. Loading screens are incredibly long. stuttering most of the time, and so many more problems. Could have been better.

    Fallout 4 is what you'd call the McDonald's of video games. Such averageness should be considered an art form. It's a video game for everyone.

It's the illusion of choice, very similar to a McDonald's burger.
    You can add and take away as much as you want from a McD's burger and it will make no difference because the foundations are painfully average, much like Fallout 4.

    Have you ever thought that Fallout 4 would be better if it wasn't an RPG? No, nobody has. Bethesda seems to think the people just want a shooting gallery with arbitrary numbers.

    What people want is a Fallout game. What people got was Skyrim with guns, with somehow even less RPG components.
    I wouldn't be surprised if the next Elder Scrolls is basically a first person Zelda game at this point.

    The story is exactly the same as Fallout 3 but with axis tilted slightly to fit in with the commonwealth. I can't believe how lazy this idea was. If New Vegas was accomplished in around a year and a half, how is Fallout 4 in this state after four years? It would've made sense if they changed engine. But they didn't.

    This is still gamebryo and it's the anchor that just holds down Fallout 4 from being painfully mediocre to a solid "meh."

    What I did enjoy was exploring the world and the gunplay. That's about it though.
    The settlement building is incredibly tedious. Despite advertising itself as completely optional, several instances in the main quest will shove it down your throat.

    Bethesda have stopped trying, and this is a problem.    … Expand

    I really couldn't get into this at all. And it wasn't because of some nostalgic FO 1-2 "love-in". So many other issues spoil it even without arguing over its "Fallout-ness":-

    - Chronic stutter even though FRAPS says a constant 60fps which suggests an internal engine render issue. They still haven't fixed some of this engine-level micro-stutter stuff that's plagued Bethesda games since    I really couldn't get into this at all. And it wasn't because of some nostalgic FO 1-2 "love-in". So many other issues spoil it even without arguing over its "Fallout-ness":-

    - Chronic stutter even though FRAPS says a constant 60fps which suggests an internal engine render issue. They still haven't fixed some of this engine-level micro-stutter stuff that's plagued Bethesda games since at least Oblivion (2007)
    - The ugliest UI imaginable. Remember the stock Oblivion & Skyrim's UI's that everyone quickly downloaded mods to fix? Well this is worse than those but there seems to be no equivalent of "DarnifiedUI" and "SkyUI" at time of writing (which itself is 2 months after launch). Once is "acceptable" but Bethesda seem to have some serious long-term learning disability when modders have to finish their games for them 4 times in a row...
    - Inventory management is hideous (not helped by the fact the inventory takes up barely 1/9th of the screen with the remaining 8/9ths just wasted). Items themselves are just an A-Z mess with little sensible category grouping. Good God, I have 1997-era RPG's with less painful trading mechanics than this
    - Maps (especially local) are totally useless
    - Those awful dumbed down "Mass Effect" style conversation options (Yes, No, Sarcastic) where the conversation lines and the summary regularly don't match up, leaving you thinking "WTF?!? I didn't select that!" half the time
    - Hugely consolized. Simple stuff like you can't click on a conversation option anymore. You have to use the cursor keys. Problem is, when you're walking past someone and a conversation auto-starts up, you then accidentally select the "Up" option (from still walking forward if using the cursor keys for movement). Likewise, if you bind say "Use" to RMB, then issuing commands to followers is just right clicking - but so too is opening containers, so almost every other time you go to search a container you "ask" your companion to stand in front of it instead. ESC doesn't exit menu's nor does clicking the same key, eg, I to open inventory then I again to close (like almost every PC game written since the 90's including Oblivion & Skyrim). If I wanted to be forced to use a controller, I'd go buy a console...
    - Building settlements is mostly pointless and feels "tacked on". It's just another thing to micro-manage for little gain. If you're not there to defend it, it'll get flattened if attacked, so why bother?
    - Can't enter 90% of buildings in many areas. I think Morrowind's (2002) Dunmer villages had more immersion & atmosphere than this
    - Quicksave's randomly go missing. Happened twice now and I definitely didn't delete them myself
    - Dumb "hacking" mechanics
    - Ludicrously "bullet spongy" enemies on "Normal", even for a Bethesda game. A 3s burst, up close from a minigun and a simple human "Raider" keeps coming without a hair out of place? Seriously?
    - The usual "Bethesda Bugs" (plot / faction quest glitches, environmental clipping / iffy collision detection, conversation timing, etc)
    - General writing & voice acting is poor. The intro was good. Unfortunately the intro WAS the most interesting and immersive part of the game
    - RPG? What RPG? With the removal of skills and Karma, the dumbed down "simple dialogue" (because even speaking in sentences is 'too hard' for 'the modern casual audience'?), the dumbed down perks, that the "Power Armor + Minigun" is virtually given to you in Hour 1, "combat is the only option", etc, and it's turned into more of a badly paced shooter than anything RPG-like. Bethesda have been "stream-lining" since Morrowind. Some stuff was needed, other stuff not so much but still arguably acceptable. But this time, they've literally "stream-lined" the whole RPG feel out of Fallout franchise well into the realms where "dumbed down" isn't some relative opinion up for debate. It simply IS...

    Bottom Line : It's buggy, consolized, boring & non-immersive (post-intro). I'll give it 2 (for the intro & soundtrack), but I'm not remotely enjoyable "playing" a game where you spend nearly all the time fighting not to save your son, but against hideous UI & controls, and conversation & inventory mechanics that are another step back from "PC UI lessons (obviously not) learned" in Bethesda games sold 9 years ago...    … Expand

The roleplaying aspect of the game has been extremely simplified and dumbed down, most likely to appeal to a larger audience and generate more revenue. This is most unfortunate and I have seen it so many times, but I did not expect this from Bethesda. Only twice in my life have I paid full price, and this was one of those times. It is also the last time. I am officially back to my original decades long position of waiting at least 6 months after a game's release to see the truth about what's really going on. The game needs more content, it needs the graphics cleaned up, it needs the UI redone, as, once again, they simply ported it over from the console version. I don't mind this too much except for the fact that it would be nice if they would recognize the PC market a little bit more than they do. After all, it all started with us and ends with us, doesn't it? Game desperately needs real quests with real quality and the main story needs some alternatives; I pray that the modding community provides some really good stuff. I have faith here. If you have not yet purchased this game, I would hold off for quite a while, and be advised: it is not an RPG in the Fallout sense; it would be more accurate if it were to be named: Fallout: Action.… Expand

The female voice acting was..well..it was terribly drab. I keep trying to find something positive to say about the game but i just cant seem to think of anything innovative, new, or refreshing about the game.

    The storyline is uninspired. The motivations of the characters are simple and boring at best, paling in comparison to characters like John Henry Eden from the previous iteration. Even characters from New Vegas that I thought were boring such as Boone now seem like complex and well done characters when compared to the characters in Fallout 4.

    The only remotely good things about the game are the weapon modding and base building. But even the base building is incredibly rudimentary and clunky. It is inherently fun because of its concept but it's implemented in a very throw away way.

So a pretty game, but has no real purpose in the fallout universe.

    Bethesda you held back a good game and never realized its full potential.

Don't get me started on the Plot, it is the exactly the same story template as in fallout 3, but a different scenario.

    Modding whether meant to enhance or make changes to a game because it did not meet the consumer's satisfaction, just for fun, or build in skill, although it makes a good way to sell more games, but at the same, the modding a game is a choice and the game should not dependant on a mod to make it a satisfying game. A mod author does it for free and can stop modding games made by the company whenever they want. Modding is a great way to enhance the fun of the game, but game companies should not rely on them, they should focus on making a game that is fun without mods. If Bethesda is going to make their games enhanced by mods all the time without making them satisfying, then there is no point or joy of paying for games by Bethesda or any game company.    … Expand

    Fallout 4 is a FPS and not an RPG. It ripped off Fallout 3 and got rid of good elements like karma/speech/repair.

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

Really do but this game is no Fallout in the mechanical and RPG elements. It's a game in the Fallout universe which just feels like Skyrim with guns.
    Graphic wise the game engine is showing it's age. Graphics look just a little bit better then New Vegas. But the thing that looks worse is the character models and facial expression are terrible. For a 2015 release and a 40£ price tag this is not acceptable. The textures and foliage isn't that impressive. The only thing that looks good is during character creation when you make your self. That looks impressive. The followers you can have as companions in your travels also look good but that's it.
    The RPG element just ins't there. Four possible answer in any dialogue that are YES/NO/SARCASTIC/PERSUADE. And even if you try to be evil or role play in any way it's just impossible. It's always the same outcome. No Karma system as well. The character progression is dumbed down or idiot proof. This is not an RPG it's more like a FPS with some elements of an RPG.
    Story well it's just not there for me. Beginning is very slow and after the Concord missions it's more like managing Sanctuary and doing quest for people then finding your son and taking revenge. Te story just isn't there. The quests are just repetitive. The companion quests are a lot better but that is it.
    But even with all this negative there is a good game there. The open world, the character creation, the companions, the weapons and the wastelands of Fallout. I wanted to give it a 6 out of 10.
    But one more thing that was game breaking for me. The bugs and the glitches. I've encountered several game breaking bugs like corrupt save game files, story NPC glitching out. My character glitching out of the game world. Crashes and strange insta deaths from nowhere. I've lost countless hours to re do the same quests and clear the same areas because I've lost a save file or a NPC glitched out.
    I've tried to make the game work. Read several forums or guides to fix the game but it just doesn't run.
    That's why I have to give it a 1 out of 10.

    The dialog and quest writing just killed it for me. Side quests and incidental encounters, which are usually the bread and butter of Bethesda games, are reduced to "kill all X at Y" or "bring standard monster drop X to NPC Y". There are no alternate paths to complete any quests unless you count skipping parts with basic "I implore you to reconsider," speech checks.

This is worse than it may sound, because they try to give everyone lots of dialog and back story, and it just ends up being cringeworthy.

    On the plus side, the game mechanics are good...for Bethesda, and the main faction stories are actually pretty well thought out. There's no obviously right choice in the endgame, which is refreshing.

They have not and it's still a mess with everything including story. I can forgive bugs, but not boring stories that are linear that cut the fun of the ARPG it was meant to be.

It's not your character there's no decision to make when its just a matter of time before you can have it all

    It just isn't an RPG anymore

    Of course plenty can be said about the standard of the pc port and the fact we are living in 2015, it's scandalous, surely Bethesda look at the most popular mod downloads list. Which makes it crazy that the UI is a mess on pc

    Or that the game is still locking physics to frame rate at just 60 fps, the many bugs and graphical errors such as the quarry

    Settlements feel poorly designed and implemented and certainly not very intuitive, possibly the most complex part of the game but not by design.

    Weapon customisation is ok but again not very intuitive with the different mods and how you can store them (eg you can scrap weapons so why not let us scrap weapons into the different modded parts). However the gun mechanics are much improved. Armor seems to be an even bigger afterthough and is never explained

    All in all for a shooting game with rpg elements ala Borderlands i'd give it 7/10 due to lack of action

    However as an rpg in kind with previous interations or the Witcher series i'd give it a 4/10

    In Fallout 4, there is no freedom of choice. Instead, there are things that other games do well, which they tried to steal and squeeze in, losing their originality in the process.

    -The gameplay has become so linear without the Karma system and a proper dialogue choice that it feels like a **** knock-off of Bioshock Infinite.

    -The also **** building system feels like a knock off of indie games that sell for 10 dollars in steam, only they do it better. You can build complex things like here like you can in Minecraft, well so what? Why would I play a single player survival game if I wanted to build anything interesting? What a massively pointless, absolute waste of time.

    -Perhaps the only thing that has stayed original is the ridiculously complex inventory. Adding to the mess are countless new weapons and mods, which feels like a **** knock off of Borderlands. Trying to make up for a lack of freedom by adding a bunch of guns does not work.

    Can't you just stick to your roots and give us a decent open-world experience instead of trying to add ideas other games are better at? We want an open world RPG where you are free, to be good or evil. We do not want this dumbed down piece of garbage.    … Expand

Animations are horrible. On top of that - game forces V-Sync, because else the physics engine bugs out, and it doesn't even lets you select buffering method - absolutely pathetic in 2015.

At least tell me what sarcastic comment the character is about to express, not simply "sarcastic", this is just stupid. In conclusion: Good Ideas (crafting, companions, rebuilding some settlements and stuff...) but at the end Fallout 4 misses the opportunity to be good, instead it´s unfinished and already outdated. Take a look at The Witcher 3 to see how it´s done right.… Expand

    Okay well I'll try and be as fair as possible. Fallout 4 is a fun action adventure game with plenty going for it. But I'm not rating it as an action adventure game. I'm rating it as a Bethesda open world role playing game.

    So let's just start with a 10 (a fair assumption based on how much I've enjoyed past Bethesda games). -1 For the over simplified and restrictive perk system.

    So let's just start with a 10 (a fair assumption based on how much I've enjoyed past Bethesda games).

    -1 For the over simplified and restrictive perk system. It's not a massive issue for me but it's a step in the wrong direction and it's worth at least a point being knocked off.
    -3 For the voiced protagonist. This is a HUGE failure and the single biggest thing ruining the experience. It's simply not possible to define your own character and personality anymore, you have two choices, both defined by Bethesda. It's like roleplaying with a GM who keeps telling you what your character thinks says and does. I know other games the the "RPG" label do it but to me this is at odds with the fundamental principle of creating a character and playing a role. Voiced protagonist's work in games like tomb raider or even Mass Effect because those are not really role playing games, they are story's they you watch and take over for the action bits. Fun but not what I was looking for here as all.
    -2 for the dialogue wheel, 4 options, often the same with what you are actually choosing wreathed in mystery. It's just bad through and through and is another sing that Bethesda wanted to make a cinematic action story rather than a role playing game.

    That leaves me with a 4 which I'm going to stick with. I could add points here and there and I could detract points here and there but overall Fallout 4 is a game that could easily of been amazing but by trying to be a different genre and forcing a questionable story and personality on my undermines most of the "live another life" feeling that I look for in Bethesda games. That 4 reflects my overall disappointment well.    … Expand

    It's absolute garbage; Bethesda should be ashamed.

    As a kid I used to play Morrowind on the PC, Watching your modding community flourish around the Construction Set was beautiful. The game itself didn't need character narration; the game was smooth, the characters were well thought out (Vivec, Dagoth Ur still bring a smile to my minds eye), There was a massive depth to your plot back then it seemed. I could depend on dropping into this RPG for hours at a time; if even just to play around with different cheats or spells for sillies. ( or even better mods from the community)
    With Fallout 4 . . . on Survival. . . I hope you realize your engine's bugs crash the game every 30m - 2 hrs consistently right? yet the game of the year edition came out and i see no updates fixing these issues. . . seemingly you want everyone seeing a loading screen (laments; fast traveling in lower difficulty with a smaller loot tree)
    every 30 min or the game will crash due to zone renderings, or any # of other immersion breaking issues.
    ( i have had cars thrown into me by companions instantly killing me, even discovered running into said cars sitting still can be fatal. . .)
    I am sure every player has noticed falling cars from highways and other needless animations that bug up the engine, when all we did was max-craft our character to run fast through the zones (because minutemen) and here we are, un-immersed, probably broke due to the expansions/skins, and nothing to really show for it except our Bethesda Fandom. . . & all the aforementioned hours spent in a broken game you refuse to spend any time(or $) fixing . . . despite how much money we have literally just thrown at you.
    I can't even fathom how much you probably make off these ripoff's you call creations in your club but it is downright despicable how you went from a Construction Set to a Creation Club. . .
    & you think your better than EA. . . Tsk, tsk.

    Watching the hype following your latest presentation at E3 I am feeling all sorts of deja vu when compared to f4's hype.
    I am not enthused, I am not excited.
    I am mildly disgusted and sad to see a great company brought so low by it's shareholder greed.

    Until you start acting more like Cd Projekt Red
    (you know a responsible game developer that keeps it's audience in mind, doesn't give in to corporate greed, and seemingly loves doing what it set out to do in the first place; creating)
    I won't be buying your games. I am done. You gave up on me. Us.
    & we are legion.

    Fallout 4 is such a bad game, like really bad. BGS has become a dev with poor design decisions.

    Witcher 3's quests have meaningful choices and consequences, the removal of armor & weapons breaking is dumb CDPR added it in Witcher 3 while BGS has it kept removed since Skyrim. Go figure.

    Безусловно, оформление игры визуально улучшилось. Но это касается лишь общей картинки. А вот человечков нарисовали просто убого. Уж больно они пластмассовые все, синтетические. В Скайриме нарисованы лица получше будут. И раз уж в игре очень много синтов, которые якобы выступают угрозой всему населению сообщества, то представляются все человечки в игре как раз выходцами из института. Все как куклы. Смотреть страшно. А мимика вообще ужасная.
    Музыкальное сопровождение не изменилось практически со времен 3 части. Много песен мы слышали в ней. Поэтому лучше не стало.
    Диалоги нам обещали улучшить, вариативности в них добавить и персонаж говорящим сделать. Но лично я не вижу в этой части улучшений, а только хуже. Вариативность в диалогах условная. По сути всё сводится к 4 вариантам. Один из которых практически завершает диалог. Строчка сарказм в диалоге лично у меня смеха не вызывает. Уж больно всё примитивно.
    С учётом, что дублежа русского нет, а строки диалогов в субтитрах не все переведены или не всегда корректно, своевременно отображаются, то людям плохо владеющим английским многое будет не понятно. Я считаю, это вообще не уважение к русскоговорящим геймерам. Сделали перевод на "отвали", для галочки.
    Теперь о главном, о сюжете. Он как таковой глубокий отсутствует. Задумка может быть была. Да вот воплощение её подвело. А может быть и не было её вовсе. Так всё поверхностно. Хотя начало было интригующим. А вот дальше... Сюжет теряется в череде второстепенных заданий, в большинстве своём однообразных, однотипных.
    По сути, влияния игрока на сюжет нет. Нет в нём таких трогательных, волнующих, ключевых, стержневых моментов, в которых проявляется влияние игрока, в которых игрок участвует, которые заставляют задуматься, волноваться или испытывать иные эмоции. Всё как-то ровно.
    Системы отношений с спутниками или иными НПС нет.
    И еще, от сюжета сильно отвлекает боевая система. Она безусловно стала лучше. И это плюс и минус игры. Быть может, разработчики упор основной сделали именно на боевую составляющую, а про сюжет, ролевую составляющую забыли.
    Про разные баги, глюки не буду писать. Их поправят, думаю. И таких страшных, которые бы мешали играть, нет в игре.
    В итоге, кто ждал хорошую или даже высокого качества ролевую игру будет разочарован. Кому нравится просто стрелять будет доволен. Любителям РПГ не могу рекомендовать данную игру.    … Expand

    A bad mix of Borderlands, Mass Effect, Early-access survival games and Fallout 3. Thanks Bethesda!

    Cons
    -Forced dialogue.
    -Bad dialogue system.
    -Really bad writing and quests that dont make any sense.
    -Bethesda even retconned their own game now, not just older games or New Vegas.
    -Power armos are a **** joke now, even raider have them and there are power armor gangs.

I may try fallout 3, mainly because of the begging of previously mentioned friend, fingers crossed for a sale on steam, but this? This is a pile of wank, it steals ME's dialogue and from what I've seen on Angry Joe has zero impact on the trajectory of the game, so even implements that atrociously.... Well done Bethesda!

These small but important details illustrate how the priority has shifted away from realism and immersion to a gimmicky first person shooter set in an "open world." it is amazing how much support and hype this series has and how hard Bethesda would have to try to screw it up - but they did for the sake of money and expanding the base to more stupid console gamers.

Compared to the previous titles it is inferior in every way possible. The graphics remind me of Dora the Explorer and the difficulty is appropriate of that age group as well even on survival. The much touted dialogue options are misleading as hell being as you don't know what your character is actually going to say when you pick an option and could be the exact opposite of what you are wanting to say. Customization on your weapons is a token gesture and a half hearted one at that. There is no love to the environment as in previous games and the dark humor carefully crafted into the world previously is also strangely absent. Hardly any optimization for the PC. This was very clearly created for the consoles and then dumped on a PC market. The settlement gimmick... Oh my god the settlements... when did fallout become the **** sims? I could go on for hours. This is by far the worst fallout entrance in the series and yes that includes tactics.

    Oh and all of this is to say nothing of the enormous number of bugs plaguing the game at launch and still as I write this review over a week after launch.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fallout 4 is the 4th numbered title in the Fallout series developed by Bethesda Game Studios. Fallout 4 is a single player, open world RPG(role playing game) set in a post nuclear fallout America. The game was released on November 10th 2015 after its announcement at E3(electronics entertainment expo). Fallout 4 provided much of the same aesthetic found in previous titles with washed out colors and destroyed landscapes, which was the backdrop to my adventures as a drug abusing, raging alcoholic using his powerfist to beat down any enemy in his path. This essay will explore the history behind the Fallout series, the genre of the game and the aesthetic, as well as the narrative developed for this game.
    Fallout 4 was developed over 7 years, with the full focus of the 100 developers starting in mid 2013 (game was released November 2015), or about 5 years into development. The team that worked on Fallout 4 was small in relation to other dev teams developing games on a similar scale to Fallout 4. What is more, Fallout 4 beat out the previous best selling game of 2015, Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, which generated $550 within 72 hours, while the more popular Fallout 4 sold 12 million copies and generated $750 million in sales within 24 hours.
    Similar to other its predecessor, Fallout 4 is a single player, open world, adventure RPG set in a post nuclear apocalypse landscape. Fallout 4 remains one of the few AAA single player games, providing the player a balance of action level and story level creating the sense of interactive storytelling; developing a sense of immersion which helps the player feel invested in the story. Furthermore, Fallout 4 provides an insightful look into the idea of a nuclear apocalypse, which seems to bear relation to the 1960s aesthetic and that time period being associated with the cold war and the fear of nuclear war.
    Throughout my playthrough I chose to ignore the main questline created by Bethesda Game Studios’ developers, choosing to roleplay; adding an extra element of challenge to my playthrough. Instead of playing by the game’s rules and playing the role of a concerned father looking for his son, I play the role of a man distraught by the death of his wife and kidnapping of his son so he chooses to suppress his emotions with copious amounts of drugs and alcohol. Additionally, Bethesda Game Studios provided a plethora of new content with DLC(downloadable content) such as Fallout 4 Nuka World, which adds a completely new map; which is a theme park turned city, controlled by rivalling factions. As part of the DLC you quickly become the ruler of the park, giving the player a sense of power within the world. This DLC provides the player with, on average*, 12 and a half hours of extra gameplay.
    Aesthetic, when used within the context of a video game, is used to describe how a game makes you feel. Fallout 4 provides players with a vast landscape, littered with adventures and items, giving the player a constant stream of quests and new experiences. Another aspect of the game, which is seen in many Bethesda, games is the ability to switch in between third and first person, each of which give the game a different look and feel; while first person creates a sense of immersion as you play through the eyes of the character, playing with third person allows the player to separate themselves from the character, providing players with the same narrative experience through a different perspective.
    In conclusion, Fallout 4 provided me with a true single player experience, where I was immersed in a post nuclear apocalypse world. The game provides a balanced mix of focus on the narrative and aesthetic, which provides an interesting story wrapped in a pleasing looking and feeling package.    … Expand

    Fallout 4 has a lot of expensive content, it kills time like noting else, it has pretty interesting house building system. But overall - it is a total mess. It feels like developers doesn't knew what they was doing.
    It is like low quality version of Saints Row 4 without humor.

    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]
