    A good game with a rather robust crafting and base building system if you are able to overlook the bugs common in a the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series. The ability to support custom user mods raises the fun factor. The story line is average and the ending was quite a letdown for me.

    The one thing I cannot stand in this game is the ATROCIOUS HORRENDOUS GOD-AWFUL WEAPON SOUND EFFECTS.

    Another in a long line of amazing RPG experiences. Bethesda knows their players enjoy modding just as much as the game itself and give us a framework from which to build from. The story is just as complex as the previous iterations of the franchise, and like always... the side quests are often times better than the main story-line.

    If you are looking for an deep role playing experience like from the previous Fallout titles then this one doesn't deliver. But what it does deliver is an solid FPS experience. So newcomers to the series can enjoy. But it does not have the same replay value that the past games managed to deliver in an single player setting. The game truly feels like they dropped the production at some point.

    Not my kind of story, but it's truly a great RPG with a huge world to explore. Pretty much like in Skyrim, the amount of mini missions from NPCs can be a little bit overwhelming, but it's really fun to play. For me it was 154 hours of gameplay. I'm not sure why this game has a so low user score. Apparently was not good enough for many Fallout fans. I'm gonna try New Vegas for sure and compare :)

    Playing at 4k30fps ultra settings with a GTX 1080, the game is pretty awsome, i didnt like old fallout, it used to be boring and unrealistic for me, but with Fallout 4 i just fell in love with the lore of the game, graphics and gameplay, i fixed all bugs with some mods btw.

    I actually have like 8 days (Real life time) to "complete" first walkthough of the game, level 90, doing all secondary missions in survival mode. Now im trying to achieve all steam trophies, only 3-4 left. (NO DLC). In few words:

    THE GOOD:

    - Nice story.
    - Nice Graphics.
    - Nice Gameplay style.
    - Lot of endings.
    - Loot and crafteable weapons, armors and ítems.
    - Freedom and big map.
    - Survival mode.

    THE BAD:

    - Some bugs.
    - The need of DDR4 ram memory to avoid fps drops under 60.
    - The infinite bucle in secundary missions.
    - Poor interaction between your desitions and the story.
    - Some unkilleable characters.

    Overall Rank 7/10. I will give it a 10/10 to compensate the "0/10 - graphics are **** old fallouts were better, cant launch the game, i hate people, i hate my life, etc" and other unjustified and non objective reviews.

    My opinion on this game is very much different from other people that have a negative opinion of the game. I think fallout 4 is one of the best western RPG's of our time.

I think fallout 4 is one of the best western RPG's of our time. The map is expansive, now not as expansive as other Bethesda games, but it is very hard to find any spot in the world where there are no locations on your compass. As well as the new mod system is one of my favorite aspects customizing weapons was and still a blast., now you can't make weapons, but that makes since, it is a post nuclear wasteland, weapons would not be made as easily compared to before the war. Another thing I wanted to address is the shooting. Some people say the shooting mechanics are terrible, and to that I say this, the gun mechanics in this game can be viewed in 2 ways: 1. it is immersive, now hold your horses keyboard warriors hear me out, in a post-nuclear wasteland these guns may not have been cared for in years on end, they were probably banged up after being through a nuclear explosion, despite popular belief guns are as fragile as when they were first invented, I'm talking about the insides not outside, if a gun is roughed up enough the accuracy and ability are dropped significantly. 2. The devs dropped the ball; I can see how some people would believe this though I don't think this is true. So vats is a big debate right now should it have been kept in stop time mode or has the transition into slow-mo become a good thing, again on this note it is up to the player to decide. People who want a more realistic and adrenaline run game think it's a good idea, but someone who wants a simple game may prefer the frozen time version, it all comes down to preference. Voice-Acting has been a heated debate in my opinion when I first heard that it was going to be voice acted, I was a little worried and even angry, but the voice actors did a fantastic job and did not let me down. But again this is opinion based. So based on these opinions I'm going to give this game a 8/10. Expand

    Es un gran shooter, es un gran juego de mundo abierto, es un gran juego de aventuras, la ambientación y el mapa son brutales. Pero no es un Fallout, no hay rol, las decisiones que puedes tomar son estúpidas, el juego está bien, joder, pero dista mucho de ser el puto juegazo que fue el 3.

    this game was quite good! I don't really have any problems with it but It also does not have any lasting effects on me. Pick up the game if your slightly curious but please remember that this game might be the weakest of the recent installments.

    After reading many of the reviews here it's hard to say anything that hasn't been said already and it seems that players either love or hate this game and either give it a ridiculously low or high score, none of which it should deserve. First of all, I want to emphasize that it is not a bad game, I spent quite a lot of time with it and pretty much enjoyed it, but I was still disappointedAfter reading many of the reviews here it's hard to say anything that hasn't been said already and it seems that players either love or hate this game and either give it a ridiculously low or high score, none of which it should deserve. First of all, I want to emphasize that it is not a bad game, I spent quite a lot of time with it and pretty much enjoyed it, but I was still disappointed in the end. I simply expected more of such a title.

    The game provides a really good atmosphere. The post-apocalyptic world of Boston is truly fascinating, full of small details and easter eggs worth exploring. I found myself spending far more time exploring the world than doing quests and yet, after watching Youtube videos I had to realize how deep the content is and how many things I simply hadn't noticed.
    I think the combat has improved since Fallout 3. VATS is still fun and provides many bonuses, but no longer absolutely necessary to use. Aiming in general is much easier but it also means that is no longer that dependent on character abilities, you can easily headshot every opponent with any sort of character. The enemies disappointed me a bit, as there's no real variety, especially if you already know the series. You'll be fighting pretty much the same raiders, super mutants, animals, feral ghouls and robots you've already encountered in the previous games with synths being the only main exception. Sure there are variants of each type, but still gets boring pretty soon. I also have to mention that the AI is quite bad with many opponents getting stuck. There aren't many weapons in the game as well, although they can be modified which is a nice new feature compared to previous Fallout games.

    The graphics were... fine. That's the correct word for that. Nothing spectacular, but as a fan of the series I couldn't care less. Yet it could disappoint some people. Certain things look nice, and it's more colourful than the third game. However the character animations, especially the facial expressions during dialogues are just horrible. As if the developers didn't care about it, it's just not synchronized with the audio. Speaking of the audio, I liked the voice acting, think it's better compared to the previous games and we also have a voiced protagonist here. The radio stations were fine but not as enjoyable as in Fallout 3. The DJ was quite the opposite of Three Dog, yet the music was almost the same with very few new tracks. Couldn't the developers find anything new from that era or what?

    Now a few words about the role-playing aspects of the game. As if the developers forgot that Fallout is indeed an RPG where you can shoot guns and not an action game with some RPG elements. Those who expect it to be an FPS-like game will be disappointed because combat (although improved) doesn't match that of a real action game. Those who expect an RPG will also be disappointed because of the really simplified RPG elements. It's a simplified hybrid that exceed neither as an FPS or RPG. The main story starts promising but in the end it turns out to be nothing more than a simple faction war with few possible choices. The writing is bad, you have very few dialogue options and your responses don't seem to alter the story. This is not acceptable for an RPG I think. I also didn't like the ending. I don't want to add spoilers, but don't quite understand why a faction which wants to preserve technology would destroy something more advanced in such a post-apocalyptic scenario. It's just not logical to me among many other things.

    The skill system is gone, every time you level up, you simply gain one perk point which adds a certain bonus (such as the ability to pick more advanced locks). The perk tree is interesting at first, but the character development is way too simplified in my opinion. Those who liked Fallout, pretty much liked it because of its character customization, you had to plan your build. Here your levelling is not limited, the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats can be improved as perks, so theoretically you can have everything useful unlocked with a single character. Way too bad for an RPG. Seriously. As I mentioned before the main attributes don't affect much of the gameplay neither, you can shoot as accurate as you want even with low perception for instance, the latter only affects accuracy in VATS.

    Settlements are a completely new feature of the game. I guess they realized how successful Minecraft was and simply wanted to add something similar where players can use their creativity and build anything they can imagine. Or at least that was the idea. Fortunately, the game doesn't force you to use it, it's just a bonus and can be fun, but it's not a revolutionary change.

    Besides all the errors, Fallout 4 is a good game and really enjoyable. Yet it has serious faults and I haven't even mentioned its bugs, many of which are quite annoying, though I have to admit that some are funny as hell. Good, but definitely not the game of the year as expected.

    The initial poor user reception here put me off getting FO4 at launch. So I waited a few months and for the GECK & survival mode news before upgrading my PC and jumping in. (Having played all Bethesda games I know they are like good wines: they take some ripening before they are best consumed and player mods are the cheese in that analogy).

    Impression so far: A very happy surprise :)

(Having played all Bethesda games I know they are like good wines: they take some ripening before they are best consumed and player mods are the cheese in that analogy).

    Impression so far: A very happy surprise :)

    • Graphics: Amazing and way better than expected. The folks responsible for the world design and all that's in it deserve statues. On random hikes through the wasteland I find myself stopping all the time to look around and appreciate the vistas and rich, immersive detail. From cities to the back country: jaw dropping gorgeous. Also the vintage style artwork is better than ever.

    • Combat: best combat in Fallout games so far. Much more smooth and action packed compared to previous titles. More interesting monsters and the implementation of Power Armor is awesome.

    • Open world content & quests: Though the quests seem less fleshed out compared with the excellent writing and immersion of FO : New Vegas, (Obsidian did a great job there), the world feels less linear and is more open and filled to the brim with content. A staggering amount of content.

    The main story line doesn't interest me so much: I think that's a mistake from Bethesda: shoehorning you into a very specific back-story in such an open, free game world. I prefer an 'anonymous prisoner' start, where players are able to immersive themselves in backgrounds of their own imagining. At least I haven't encountered birth-marks and 'you are the chose one' clichés so far. Although various factions do act like you are god-sent. I am not bothered with my character having a voice, by the way.

    • Settlement building & crafting: I am in love with the modification system and settlement building. It's a great, rich addition to the core gameplay and makes living in the wasteland much more immersive and compelling. Can't wait for the survival mode to make this game the ultimate post-apocalypse sim.

    • Polish: Probably the most polished Bethesda game yet. Haven't encountered bugs so far. Some mechanics feel a little quirky and your dog companion tends to stand in your way (much like real dogs), but no game breaking stuff yet. The dog is easily replaced later on. They could improve a little on the settlement mechanics and explanations perhaps.

    All in all: very happily surprised with a much more fleshed out, beautiful and compelling game than I expected and completely in awe with the world design. 9/10

    Pros: The setting is fantastic. It's full of memorable locations, and overflowing with the dark humor well known in the Fallout universe. The combat is fantastic, with both melee and gunplay very smooth and enjoyable. The voiced acting is new, and uncomfortable for many, yet can add to the immersive experience with a bit of imagination. The story is quite good and well thought out. It's concepts have been done before, but not to this extent, with as many options, or in a Fallout game. Plus the crafting, while rudimentary, is brilliant. The bugs are minimal for a Bethesda open-world rpg, though some do crop up.

    Cons: The conversation wheel is lacking in choice, and when an option is chosen, it can take you by surprise what is said. The persistence of the same quests. While a great way to earn xp, they get old quick. Lack of a F:NV hardcore mode was disappointing aspect for many, including myself.

    Overall, this game is a must play. It continues to hit home the "looking to the future" aspect. Sure it has it's problems, but we as gamers must be objective. Is this game better than Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas? Not by a long shot. Are those games better than this iteration? No. This game brings change, for better or worse. People hate change, just look at some of the other reviews. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for this game, and the franchise as a whole.

    Enjoy!

    Pros: Some of the reasons I love this game is because how smooth the gameplay is and, the controls are setup very well I think the dialogue is quite good and the map is quite big and fun to explore

    Cons: Well the graphics are dated they look like they came straight out of half life 2.
    The storey is crap it is like mario you go find a kidnapped princess but in fallout 4 instead the princess being kidnapped it is your 60 year old son who is older than you. I got the game on November 10 2015, night of the premier. I am playing on a very high power pc so I can play the game with Ultra high graphics with no lag at all, even with max graphics it still does not look great. Over all I think it is a Great game with amazing detail, but is has a crappy storey and bad graphics.

    Then after reading the negative reviews, I realized most are from Fallout fans that got disappointed because this game isn't in the spirit of the previous Fallout games. Maybe so. I did play Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, and it didn't struck me that much. Apart from the very awkward dialog wheel which doesn't properly present the dialog choices (it summarizes them in a few words), which means often you can't understand fully what the different options mean until you pick them.
    The settlement building is a really nice idea, sadly the building controls are really poor. The companion system is nice too, but the companions tend to get stuck, and when you park them in a large settlement good luck finding them (even worse, when you don't remember in which settlement you stored them, there's no quick way to find them - without using the console I mean).

    All in all, it's a decent game with a large world and many quests and places to build stuff, but it gets repetitive and tedious. If you are a die-hard Fallout fan maybe you'll be disappointed, but if not, despite the bugs it's quite worth playing I think.

    Fallout 4 is an excellent game. It's hard to play this game without imagining how much better it could have been if it had more polish, more impressive and optimized graphics, and more interesting quest content. However, it has everything I wanted from a new Fallout game, and there is just no substitute for that.

    Fallout 4 is one of the most post apocalyptic/open world game of entire "Fallout" Series. This game is still fun though but some features were removed.
    Weapon:
    I like weapon systems in the game. But unfortunately, Weapon Condition (CND) is gone from Fallout 3/New Vegas but replace with weapon modifications system that can modify your weapon at any time.
    I will give this: 9.5 of 10
    Gameplay:
    Fun, Absolutely amazing. a kit of Companions, Unique Enemies and lots of place to explore including Vault.
    I will give this: 10 of 10

    I will give this 10 of 10

    I have the game with the season pass. I would say that this is a great game, nice game mechanics, very very very long, but sometimes I feel that it could be better on make decisions / rpg system; previous fallout was better in rpg system.

    Here is the real story. The game is awesome and the only thing stopping it from being a perfect 10/10 is glitches. There are random times when the game will get stuck. You will do everything you are supposed to do, and yet the game gets stuck and you cannot progress down that particular story line any further.

There are random times when the game will get stuck. You will do everything you are supposed to do, and yet the game gets stuck and you cannot progress down that particular story line any further. The only way to fix this is to reload a previous save, thus forcing you to redo things you have already done.

    This, and I grant that it is a big flaw, does not prevent this from being a landmark game in this genre. Now a days every developer is so infatuated with the idea of multi player. Bethesda has not yet infected their games with an online multi-player.... yet.

    Fallout is huge, expansive, immersive and one hell of a lot of fun to play. It is challenging without being to easy and not being to difficult. Get overly cocky or careless and that rad scorpion will kick your ass. Walk in guns blazing to a group of super mutants... and they will put you down. Enemies are diverse and some are creepy as hell. I cannot stand blood bugs and bloat flies and love locking on with VATS and watching their grisly demise in slow motion.

    People that hate the game over its various glitches I understand having to reload saves and go back to an earlier point is frustrating. Get past this and you have a near endless world to explore and how you conquer its many challenges is totally up to you. You dont like being diplomatic? Kill everyone in the room. The choice is yours.

    I think the graphics engine they use despite many bugs suits the Fallout world perfectly and it actually looks incredibly good and vibrant.

It just hits all the right notes with great companions and sub quests. It definitely has an East coast feel to it in the writing and care taken to portray Boston. My only complaints come from the game design itself in the form of managing weight which becomes a real issue and too many settlements which after a while turns into babysitting. I only stayed in Sanctuary but I do like the break it gives by extending the longevity of the game. Cannot recommend highly enough. A must play. (PC rating being lower than my PS4 review is because of that initial lack of PC support). Expand

Even though, there are lots of disadvantages. Bugs (lots of them), poor animations and graphics, dumb AI and simplified combat. But that wasnt so important for me. To the advantages, i enjoyed a building mode in settlements (thanks to amazing mods), tonns of quests and interactions, lore of the game, and in fact tonns of activities to do, tonns of things to achieve, tonns of people to see. Thats probably one of my greatest single-player experience of last time. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It wasn't really apparent how disappointing this game was until a second play through. It's not that it's a bad game, it was fun, I did play 130 hours. but it wasn't what I was expecting. I liked, the branching story paths, unpredictability and the ability to solve problems without violence, that the previous games had. None of which are found in this one. Great movie!!! I saw the movie yesterday and for me it's a 10/10, good story, entertaining and with good fighting moments. I do not understand the critics. I look forward to a second part!! Expand

    I constantly make the argument that 10's and 0's should be saved for special games. I am sort of breaking that rule at the moment, I think this game is a solid 8. Maybe a 9. But the fact of the matter is that I can't really think of a 10 in this brand of game.

    Most people I see giving it lower scores cry about NV or 3. (Both great games) But then their arguments fall apart, NV and 3

    FO4 on the other hand.. It's gunplay is some of the best I can find, even is full out FPS's. The leveling is different but good. The settlement building is good. The STORYLINE IS GOOD! People who say it is not don't know what storyline is, they confused story and writing, because Yes the Writting is kind of lackluster... The Storyline in NV was garbage but had fantastic writing.

    FO4 is a solid 8 maybe 9, but nothing I have put this must time into can't get a 1 point bump out of me.

It’s a great Bethesda game, much like FO3 but bigger and better. Like Skyrim, it’s packed to the brim with content and a huge area to explore. The world is alive and full of danger. Plenty of interesting characters to talk to and cool stuff to scavenge.Unfortunate that so many people were motivated to review bomb the game with super low scores.

In none of the previous Fallout games have I ever felt that I kinda want to see it in it's prewar state, full of life... And all the stories that the city of Boston has to offer makes you realize that the prewar America was just as **** up under the surface as the wasteland is.

    Even though it differs quite considerably from the two previous FPS titles of the franchise, it is still a very solid game. Sure, there are some issues with the approach Bethesda chose. The perk system is average at best, the RPG side is nonexistent and the timeline differs considerably from what was established in the previous Fallout games.

    Its a very good Fallout. All in all, there aren't as much interesting characters as in Fallout 3 or New Vegas and it has some bugs. But above all its a solid Title, which have a big amount of sidequests and other things to do. Some mechanisms aren't 100% solid like the Building system without a gamepad.
    But if you like the setting its a must-have.

    As a massive Fallout fan, I was disappointed with this game. It had very few dialogue options that had an actual impact, and the dialogue was not as clever or funny as previous games. However, if I judged this as a game in itself and not on what I expected, it is a genuinely fun rpg shooter with mostly interesting quests, enemies, and guns that only has the downfall of a lack of rpg elements.

But if I wanted to see Fallout in the near future, it would be better than 90 hours of gameplay in gray colors and poor settlement level because. Bethesda does not know how to make games in gray.

    Even though I still consider this in my top 10 list games as far as fun and replay value is concerned, the story alone couldnt carry this title, it is not so bad until you actually start to finish the main story, thankfully I have an imagination and play the game and simply dont finish, creating my own ending in my head. The combat, weapons, and the atmosphere are top notch, these days, this game is my favorite to just pick up and play.

    Really immersive game that sadly cuts down on some textures quality for some reason. Don’t be put off by that tho because this game still offers a lot.
    All in all it’s a sandbox with great character development, settlement building, crafting system and more. The downside for me is an OK storyline (mainly due to the mediocre human animation quality) and sometimes underwhelming graphics

I thought the combat was fun and engaging, though I'll admit the story was about a 5/10 (average) and the dialog choices were rather leaned toward just a few ways of playing the game (side with 1 of 3 factions).

    Cons -
    1. Mediocre story with characters that make you feel little emotion
    2. Poor dialog choices in an RPG
    3. Few bugs (you shouldn't encounter too many typically speaking)
    4. Some of the textures can look a little poor

    Pros -
    1. I found the gameplay fun and engaging (combat, quests)
    2. Good reward system (perk points, weapon/ammo drops)
    3. Easy to dump time into and have fun for a long time
    4. Very high replayability; at least 80+ hours of enjoyable gameplay with too much repetition

    Conclusion: All in all, a good game I would recommend buying. The negative reviews on this are more negative than they should be as the game is much better than they make it out to be. However, this game is no 9 or 10 because it does have flaws and can be dull at times.

    "Fallout 4, что же это такое?" - Задавался я этим вопросом на протяжении всей игры, на протяжении более чем 200 часов. Первое впечатление у меня было неоднозначным, казалось что это будет личная история главного героя, у которого отняли всё. Но ближе к середине, история стала глобальнее в разы, так как появились старые и новые знакомые в лице крупных фракций, которые придерживаются"Fallout 4, что же это такое?" - Задавался я этим вопросом на протяжении всей игры, на протяжении более чем 200 часов. Первое впечатление у меня было неоднозначным, казалось что это будет личная история главного героя, у которого отняли всё. Но ближе к середине, история стала глобальнее в разы, так как появились старые и новые знакомые в лице крупных фракций, которые придерживаются собственной идеологии. Конечно они испортили Братство стали, испортили в разы. Вместо суровой организации с практически полной секретностью, Bethesda сделала Братство как Fallout 3, только ещё хуже. Институт был придуман ещё во времена Fallout 3, там ему даже квест посвящён, но речь не о тех прекрасных временах, а о наших суровых временах и в них Институт не плох, но проходить за него игру я не стал, мне больше по душе Братство и Минитмены, за которых и я и прошёл игру. Минитмены отличная организация, мне она по душе сильнее всех остальных, организация со своими идеями и порядком. А вот Подземка меня разочаровала, я ожидал что они будут иметь при себе тайных информаторов в институте, но таковых я там увы не встретил, в остальном они какие-то бомжи из подвала церкви защищающие синтов. Сюжет здесь не сильно изменился в отличии от Fallout 3, просто поменяли местами сына и отца и добавили 4 сюжетных линии за 4 выше названные фракции. Прокачка стала хуже чем в Fallout 3, это система прокачки из какой нибудь Dragon Age, но никак не из Fallout.
    Квесты стали лучше чем в Fallout 3, но хуже чем в моём любимом Fallout: New Vegas. Есть реально интересные, а есть и квесты по типу убей врагов там и принеси вот это, такие задания порой очень бесят, они подходят для ММО, но никак не для RPG 2015 года. И да, в Fallout 4 должен был быть мультиплеер, но от него отказались. Персонажи, а особенно напарники стали глубже и интереснее, огромный шаг в сравнении с Fallout 3, но маленький шаг назад в сравнении с New Vegas, это касается и квестов напарников. Со звуком точно такая-же история.
    А вот что стало лучше в сравнении с New Vegas: графика, стрельба, дизайн уровней, противников и мира. Стрелять удобно, пушки ощущаются очень реалистично. Графика не супермегахит, но лучше чем в New Vegas. Мир выглядит разнообразным не только благодаря дизайнерам, но и благодаря тому что Bethesda убрала цветовой фильтр в мусорное ведро и правильно сделала, он резал глаза в Fallout 3 и Fallout New Vegas. Противники стали красивее.
    И главное - поселения! Я сейчас на полном серьёзе. Мне они понравилась.
    Вердикт - 9/10 "Шикарно!"

    One of the best RPGs I've ever played:
    + story
    + characters
    + dialogue options with big consequences
    .....

    - quite buged few years after release, but thats not big problem I think
    - not in game graphics settings

    I got very addicted to the game. The story is good imo, the philosophy about synth life and the different views on it. The settlement building is interesting, but seemed like a useless gimmick in the end

    If you think of this game as vanilla only, it's 6/10 or 7/10. But with modding Fallout 4 is one of the greatest games of all time.

I am, unapologetically, a massive Fallout fan and have an incredible number of hours played but I am still left thinking that this is a poor quality, unfinished and unpolished game with many, many unresolved flaws.

    What hurts the most, is that Bethesda don't seem to give a crap about any of the faults and have grifted by on the love of the fan-base and it is getting tiresome. Loving this game feels like being in an abusive relationship.. I keep hoping they will change and do better by me but they don't care enough to do that.

    Thank heavens for the modding community at Nexusmods.

    No way do I think this game is a 10. But it's damn sure much closer to a 10 than it is to a 0. I think the game has many flaws, but is too solid to be even lower than a 7. I think the perfect score for this game is an 8 to 8.5.

    + The levelling system is no Elder Scrolls but I'd reckon it's above average. I think the way they implemented S.P.E.C.I.A.L in this entry is unique, but still

    + The levelling system is no Elder Scrolls but I'd reckon it's above average. I think the way they implemented S.P.E.C.I.A.L in this entry is unique, but still great.
    + VATS is much better compared to 3 & New Vegas. The time not stopping may take away some strategy, but it adds a lot more stress to an encounter as you don't have all the time in the world to target a person/body part.
    + The game, at least compared to previous titles, has an amazing world in terms of things like immersion. Exploring feels rewarding in this game.
    + Gameplay is just a major step up from previous titles.

    - The main issue is the story, and how you really define RPG. For the most part, if you want to categorise this game, then it's safer to call it an RPG rather than something like a first person shooter. However, while this game does have large decisions for the player to make, it's somewhat lacking for the smaller ones that you'd find in previous titles, or even in other RPGs like The Witcher 3.
    - Also weapon variety.

    You could always go deeper, but it's not really worth it for this type of review. I definitely shouldn't be giving this a 10, but I hate the way the majority of people rate games on these sites. They either give it something extremely low, or a 10. No way in hell is this game lower than a 6 or a 10. It's at least a 7, and I'm not gonna budge. I'm only giving this a 10 because I'd rather iron out the reviews.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Things I enjoyed about Fallout 4:
    - The gun play is the best of the entire series.
    - The power armor system is incredible, it actually makes you feel like a two legged tank.
    - Chems are way more useful than before.
    - Building a settlement is actually fun.
    - The graphics
    - The armor system.

    Things I disliked about fallout 4:
    - The skill points system being removed, alongside other very fun features from both Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.
    - The main antagonist faction lacks an actual goal, they're just evil and replacing people with robots and turning them into mutants because why the hell not.
    - Capital Wasteland BOS shows up but there is absolutely no mention of the Lone Wanderer.
    - The main story is decent at best.
    - Have I mentioned the lack of proper RPG features compared to the classic Fallouts or even New Vegas?
    - Another settlement needs our help.
    - Bethesda bugs.

    The game is still fun, don't get me wrong, but it could have been so much better in both gameplay and story.

    Overall the game is much better when playing with mods, since many of the problems that the base game has, can be easily solved this way.

    The game is fun, I don't know why so many people hate it. Maybe because it isn't really an RPG, like the people wanted. But when you are looking for a great exploration shooter, with an okay story. You should definitely check it out.

    Amazing Game. Hundreds of Hours worth of content, exploration, questing, combat, etc. Only criticism i can give the game is voice acting and lack of dialogue choices. Everything else about the game is perfect. Gunplay, perks, SPECIAL, good and interesting factions to join and help.

    Normally, I like to finish/win a game before I write a review, but 100+ hours already, and I show no signs of slowing down. War never changes, but neither does my enjoyment of the Fallout game series. Here are some points of the game as I see it.

    -This game has a very enjoyable storyline, side stories and everything we already know about Fallout games, as well as an interesting romance
    Normally, I like to finish/win a game before I write a review, but 100+ hours already, and I show no signs of slowing down. War never changes, but neither does my enjoyment of the Fallout game series. Here are some points of the game as I see it.

    -This game has a very enjoyable storyline, side stories and everything we already know about Fallout games, as well as an interesting romance delivery, though not anything to write home about, aside from the enjoyment to get to know your companions. They are all enjoyable. You can easily get lost in side stories and find yourself forgetting where you left off on the main story, by choice.

    -The radio seems annoying at first, but gets better as you go. However, the companions are a huge step up, more involved, more interesting, and I already liked the previous. Each companion is worth taking around for a time, just to enjoy their personally stories and comments, so, do not linger on one companion for too long.

    -The crafting system in this game is very simple, and yet, it has tedious complexities. You have many options, but holding onto old mods for the next weapon has yet to prove useful.
    -This is the first Fallout that introduces settlements, and despite the issues, I enjoy it very much. You can setup turrets, alarms, traps, and even arm and armor your settlers. This part of the game is completely optional, but I am thoroughly enjoying it.

    With so many positive things of the game, it is important to know the negative too.

    -Save often. I run on a beast of a pc. As such, I have very limited issues, from what I have read of some others experiencing. However, I have crashed twice, both times losing anything done from the last manual save. The auto save seems to be lost, or so it was on mine. I only lost about 10 minutes, as I save about every 15 minutes or sooner.

    -Settlement building can being very frustrating at first, but with patience it is not so bad. It really depends on how much time you want to sink into it. I have seen many that go crazy and create cities instead, and I have seen some that just make a shack. I am in the middle somewhere, though I might find myself expanding on the settlement later.
    Myth busting negative reviews and comments that I have seen.

    -Stealth is not broken. I have seen one even post a video to prove it, and he was crouched but still running, not walking. Without points put into your skill for that, running crouched is easily detected. I use this often to get them to come around the corner and pop them off into a trap, or wander into my mines. Stealth works great when you use it properly.

    -Items will not stay where you put them. Not sure if this was fixed in a patch or not, but as long as you place the items, junk or trophies, while in settler building mode (hold down 'V' to enter this) then those items do not fall through the floor or get lost. If you do not use this method, it is a mess.

    -You need a lot of power to use a lot of lights. This is one a friend told me and showed me a guide on. You do not need anything more than access to power to power anything that does not have a number next to the lightning bolt. If it requires and uses your max limit of power from your generators in your settlements, then it will have a number showing how much it will consume to be active.

    -The game is too easy. Put the game on a much harder difficulty, play survival mode, do not cheat. I haven't found the game overly easy by any means.

    Overall, this game is definitely worth the price, and I do recommend the season pass, however, getting it on sale is of course the best of choices.

    exceptional rpg fps combination. fallout 4 progressed the series adding significant strategic/tactical and managerial options. from an rpg standpoint, very good story and character creation. as an fps very good physics and weapon detail. leaving the turn based genre, which probably pissed of plenty of fans, fallout 4 evolved to the game we imagined back in the day when we played fallout 2

    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]
