    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. so disappointing in so many ways.

    the heart and soul of fallout have been cut out of nearly every aspect.

    in a real rpg i wouldn't love my spouse by default. i wouldn't automatically say "i'm so proud of him/her" when looking at their law degree or "i'll make them pay for this" when looking at their corpse. i would have the option to resent or even despise them. because guess what...i DON'T love my in game spouse. i feel no attachment to them at all. i'm not a middle class former soldier with a newborn living in the suburbs, i have no personal connection to these predefined characters. I should be the one that defines my own emotions, not the game. i should decide how i interact with the world. without choices this game lacks everything that made fallout great.

    this isn't fallout. this is just a game painted to look like fallout.

    with one can of green paint

    ok. so i have to judge this game as a non-fallout game.

    best way to sum this game up is settlements. huge part of the game. settlement construction is obtuse. settlement management is a disaster. for all the talk of "streamlining", you would think that settlement management would be...streamlined. it isn't. about 13 settlements in, i realize i want to change the way my supply lines are set up.

    so i just go to the settlement management window, where all the relevant settlement issues can be easily inspected and dealt with.

    wait....no. that doesn't exist. instead i have to go to each and every one of my settlements, track down each individual provisioner, and manually change their destination. keep in mind that provisioners travel between settlements, so in a game where it can be hard to find settlers IN the settlements, finding the provisioner between settlements is a time consuming chore. "chore" isn't a word that should come to mind when "playing a game". and be careful that you get the right provisioner. you may want to change the one travelling from a to b, but end up changing the one going from b to c instead. because they aren't labelled. they are all just "provisioner"

    just like the settlers are "settler". how is it that as the person that constructed these settlements i don't know the names of the handful of people living in the town that i built?

    hell it would be nice if their names were all just changed to their assigned task. would be a huge leap to rename the farmers "farmer" and the guards "guard". as it is there is no way to know who is assigned to what unless they are at their station. which is a real problem if you stop in to manage things at night or if you use the bell to gather everyone up.

    i always wanted to build my own vibrant community in the wastes. the settlements in fallout aren't vibrant. they are tedious. dull.

    this game is such an unbelievable mess. and i'm not even referring to the technical issues. the actual game, when working correctly, is a total mess. and not the fun "everything is blown up" sort of mess.

    i could go one about how my inventory is constantly cluttered with dozens of variants of the same worthless gun. completely disorganized because of the new mod system applying prefixes. selling all your pipe guns requires searching through every weapon, every time. because streamlined.

    but i won't do that.

    if i went through every aspect of the game interface that defied common sense, i would be writing all night. the game interface is just BAD. it is like no one on the design team actually played the game.    … Expand

Fights are almost impossible as the game speed fluctuates while is so stuttery it's almost impossible to aim. Unless you use a decade old system that is.

For extra hell recommend completely top of the line system Threadripper 2950x (2990WX for extra points!) + 2x2080 Ti or 2xVega 64, and set everything to minimum with fps clamp = 60 and freesync/gsync enabled on a 240hz monitor and enjoy the torture!    … 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.

If you are small kid of average intelligence who likes to consume shiny packaging and well marketed hype you will have fun. Everyone else who has at least some taste and standards stay away.
    Whole game quality like made by some cheap offshore team in Africa or India. Defensively not someone
    with passion and love for his work.

    +game has nice 2d art
    +its fallout

    - - -totally unbalanced. Power armor obtained nearly at start of the game and that is just tip of the iceberg
    (loot suxed with all games I think like oblivion skyrm ...)

    --inventory/loot system is dumb and basic.

    -Dog is an idiot will block you
    -dog works as grande decoy. This is really stupid but I believe lot of kids find is super cool.
    -dog can be used to cary items he, fits more than I can put in my car. (again I bet that dumb kids love that)
    -not even story is fun
    -skills and leveling element still crap but bit better than Skyrm.
    --world is not believable and far fetched. It seems like city got bombarded by few small boms.
    its like made by 15 year old boy.
    -all new features like settlement that tries to be innovative are actually not adding much fun to game.
    --- I could continue for another page of negative points :(

    what I dont understand is reviews. Its probably that they got no balls to rate such hyped AAA tile less than 8 and wanted to stay palls with gaming companies to keep getting games before release or nice xmass presents.

Не оправдала ожидания больше, только УЖАСНЕЙШАЯ, ОТВРАТИТЕЛЬНЕЙШАЯ, МЕРЗКАЯ "ИНКВИЗИЦИЯ" от Биотварей. Вот уж где действительно можно дать орден 1й степени - "Слив столетия".

Вот уж где действительно можно дать орден 1й степени - "Слив столетия". Ф4 достоин "Слива десятилетия". В отрыве от серии - игра на 7-7.5.
    Теперь поподробнее о претензиях:
    -Слитый к чертям детский, наивный сюжет.
    -Полная деградация рпг системы, упрощение и сокращение всего.
    -Уничтожение диалогов, их явно писал далекий от жанра человек. Да и сама система слита. Беседка с достоинством уселась на "фарфоровый трон".
    -Нет дефицита ресурсов, который - логично, должен присутствовать в разрушенном мире. Нет. Мы на каждом углу, в каждой подворотне, находим по пачке патронов, гранате, очередным, десятым по счету за 10 мин игры - пистолете. Про силовую броню молчу, о каком чувстве развития и усиления гг, присутствующем в нормальных рпг можно говорить, если тебе через 5 мин игры выдают пулемет на 1500 патронов и броню, в которой ты неуязвим даже на харде?
    -Гринд поселений, отвлекает, раздражает. Выглядит нелепо.
    -Однообразные толпы противников, причем именно толпы. Напоминает бордерлендс.
    -Графика. Выглядит средненько, но из за плохой оптимизации очень грузит даже современные, мощные системы.
    -Анимация, лица. Игра недалеко ушла от своих предшественников, славящихся уже в те годы ужасной анимацией всего. Улучшений почти нет, смотреть на резиновые лица после ведьмака невозможно.
    Перечислять можно еще очень и очень долго, я перечислил только свои основные претензии. Подытожим. Беседка выпустила очередной шутер, с небольшим намеком на рпг. Но вот в чем беда, как мясной Action - он не выдерживает сравнений с конкурентами, объективно проигрывая почти во всех областях. Рпг же я бы эту игру не называл вообще, тут нет никаких стимулов и интереса заниматься ролплеем, да даже просто бродить по карте и исследовать - нет. Моя оценка как абстрагировавшегося любителя игр - 7 из 10. Как фаната вселенной и рпг - 0 из 10.    … Expand

    After FNV I expected Bethesda to step up their game. They didn't. It's nothing but a shooter with an open world. All we can do now is wait for Obsidian to make an actually good Fallout game. The voice acting was the worst thing ever brought into the Fallout franchise. Yes, worse than the switch to fps.

    I swear one or more of the SIMs Developers worked on this game, but they could not even pull that off nicely.
    Yes it’s a bit better than Fallout 3, this game engine is old even for a shelved 2010 MMOG.
    What a lazy production of a game.
    I have a high end PC with dual Vid cards and 144hz monitor and cranking up the Res just makes the feeling of disgust even worse.
    Bethesda was so lazy they were playing the SIMs when they made this game and I think played the Sims more than Fallout 4.
    Then I see PS4 and Xbox graphics on these youtube vids, what an embarrassment Bethesda, SIM quality graphics.
    This is just the Fallout 4 MMOG rumored in 2010.
    Let the MODDERs fix?? really???
    Its shows Bethesda could not do it, they could not pull it off; MODDERS make a better games.

    Game is very awesome. And i mean it. You can build weapons, access new perks and even build a city. These game really deserves a 10 out of 10. However, game released with a major bugs. After 24 hours of game play my frame rate drastically decreased until it was impossible to play. So actually i cant play the game. Its not playable at all.

    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.

    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.

    Best game I have ever played. People these days are just so demanding in games and can never be happy. MAINSTORY: This game has a great main story line actually the best one Bethesda has ever made. CRAFTING: There is crafting, customization of amour and guns like you would not believe this is a truly perfect system that allow you to be who you want to be. BUILDING: The settlement buildingBest game I have ever played. People these days are just so demanding in games and can never be happy. MAINSTORY: This game has a great main story line actually the best one Bethesda has ever made. CRAFTING: There is crafting, customization of amour and guns like you would not believe this is a truly perfect system that allow you to be who you want to be. BUILDING: The settlement building is my favorite part it even gives Minecraft a run for it's money and they give you so many options and settlements to take ownership of and if you don't manage the settlers they will leave. They also provide support to you in the wastes like flare signals to alert the minutemen you are in need of help or providing artillery support for you it's an amazing system that really makes you feel like you are in control and have to work to have a successful Clan. GRAPHICS: The graphics have been controversial between gamers but in my eyes they are step in the right direction for Bethesda I never once felt like they were bland or boring, the game really has a great color and feel to it. SHOOTING MACHANICS: Oh boy they are greatly improved in Fallout 4, never once did I grow tired of shooting people because the gore and V.A.T.S system is so well done. SIDE QUESTS/ WORLD: Fallout 4 has the best map Bethesda has made yet. It may look small but it is very dense and unique, every area is interesting with some story to tell or a fight breaking out or maybe someone in distress. The side quests are fun and often more fun then main story quests with tons and tons of them this game is almost endless. DIALOUGE: The dialogue system worried me at first with there only being 4 options and a few words to predict what you charter would say but I almost liked it more then the old dialogue system in Fallout 3 because I don't have to scroll and read different options for half a minute, never once did I choose an option and the charter not say what I thought or wanted him to say. CONS: On the PS4 and Xbox 1 the frame rate dips when you go into the main downtown city but it's they are not extreme just enough for you to notice them. However when you are out of the downtown city the frame rate is a solid 30 even when in combat for the most part but I am sure Bethesda will patch it for better performance. Now I am a console gamer but I noticed that on PC the game still had multiple use keys so it made for frustrating moments when you would try to loot something and instead throw grenade. OVERALL: Overall Bethesda really hot home base with this one its very challenging I have died over 40 times just on normal mode and the game has a great main story, great gunplay, on par graphics, great voice acting and over all an amazing game with a few minor FPS problems and PC configuration problems that will hopefully get patched soon. 10/10… Expand

    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.

    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 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.

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.

    Poor, weak, lazy game. Just boring. Boring combat, boring world, boring story. Not at all fun. Soulless. Empty. I used to love the Fallout games, but I'm done with them. No more for me.

    This needed AT LEAST an extra year of full development.

    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    This needed AT LEAST an extra year of full development.

    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

    Don't get me wrong, the game is a classic but I have never experienced so many glitches and bugs in a game.

    I spent a lot of time downloading mods to try to solve the terrible Bethesda engine, and that's not what I want in a game, I want to install it and play it. (Not counting loading screens that can reach up to 3 minutes just by leaving and entering a building)

    I have to install Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch, ENB, tons of textures, change some values with the text editor, watch some videos to solve crashing errors and even use the ingame console to complete some quest that were still bugged.

    It is not worth so much effort and money just so that when the fight starts, the game goes from 60fps (if you had luck) to 40 or even less.

    Bethesta has lost contact with fans delivering increasingly incomplete products, and boy don't let me talk about fallout 76, because otherwise this review would extend a few more characters.    … Expand

    Disappointing. Nothing improved since previous game, dumb system of creating community, just boring gameplay. Couldn't continue after 8hr of playing.

    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).

    The game is fine, but the load times are just ridiculous. I 0lay about 10 hours and ended up quitting because of the load times.

    Cant see enemies. Dont know where they shooting from. Dogmeat gets in the way while i am looting. Asking me to kill raiders in a factory or some crap but the raiders dont come to me! I must find them and then kill them? Grenade markers are worthless. CRAP GAME WASTE OF TIME. STUPID BETHESDA. EAT 0 NOOB DEVS. CANT EVEN MAKE GAME THESE STUPID DEVS.

    Demasiado feo, aburrido y lento. A pesar de que los 2 anteriores me trajeron buenos momentos, de este no he podido pasar de las 10 horas.

    Construir es horrible, después de jugar a No Mans sky es imposible tomarse en serio un editor de construcción tan mal hecho. Esta totalmente desbalanceado aun en la dificultad normal.

    This game is just A pathetic excuse for entertainment. The story is just a reversed version of the previous games story with A pointless plot twist and forgettable characters.

    Only mods can save this horrible title. The mod community did a better job than the developers. How lame.

    Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo:
    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.

    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.

Sometimes I added mods, I can't play this without mods it's impossible for me, the vanilla experience is horrible.
    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

    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]
