    This game was fun when it first came out but has no replay-ability. The voiced character and how every location is basically just another shoot out really disappoints.

    Not a rpg like previous fallouts but makes up for it with best word of any fallout game. Like any bethesda game mods add and fix much.

    I personally enjoyed Fallout 4 and its in-game missions and DLCs. But the story isn't that great and a bit boring at times.

    Olha. Falando do jogo sem mods, ou seja, o jogo que você adiquire quando compra eu tenho que dizer que é meio...é meio que para fanbase da bethesda.

    Gráficos: não sou muito de ficar reparando muito em visual, a menos que o jogo seja voltado para isso, mas eu senti falta de algo diferent, expecialmente no cenário pois você anda entre distâncias grandes e só vê a mema natureza sem variação de cores ou ainda. Algo que tire um pouco aquela ideia de mundo devastado. Até os alimentos tem testuras similares ao restante da paisagem.
    Itens: Em geral, pareceu que tem item demais que faz a mesma coisa. Não vi muita utilidade em ter vários consumiveis sendo que o cara só vai utilizar o maudito stimpack.
    Menus: Pipiboi lá...é bem original...mas poderia ser bem melhor para o usuário administrar os diversos itens, que como já mensionei -desnecessários. É até meio sofrivél quando você tenta fazer uma imersão pois fica ddifícil achar oque você necesista.

    Mods:...Eu tenho uma polêmica interna minha...pois sim: é bem divertido baixar os mods e usa-los e tudo mais. Só que achei muito complexo para fazer um mod. E ainda que opte por usar os de terceiros tem o grande problema do tempo que você vi levar para faze-los funcionar junto com outros mods.    … Expand

    However, I can actually see how people might not like this game if they are playing on a console, because one of the main reasons that this game is incredible is PC mods. And honestly, without mods I probably would not be nearly as enthused.

    Bethesda has promised mods for consoles in the near future, but they should have had it at launch. Also, imo they should have had a DLC prepared for the end of December. If you have a PC, get this and get it now. If you have a console you are only going to get a fraction of the experience.    … Expand

    I think this game is slightly better than fallout 3, but the game has sooo much room for improvement, the simple annoyances to straight up removing rpg elements is what makes the game go from an 8 - 10 straight to barely a 7, pre war segment also could have been expanded on more, overall a good experience but it could have been so much better

    Great game, not that great of an RPG.
    if you love a Dense world with a great sense of exploration and a reward in each corner of the world, then this game is for you.
    but if you want a great RPG like Fallout: New Vegas or DOS2:DE, you will be very disappointed about it.

    Fallout 4 takes the formula started by Fallout 3 and expands upon it offering things such as better character customisation and the ability to literally build new settlements.

The game also brings the usual hallmarks of the franchise such as plot twists galore, charming companions and many ethical dilemmas to contend with, all brought to life thanks to a sensational soundtrack by Inon Zur and excellent voice acting.

    The game has its flaws though: the game might be not an innovative enough leap for some and the dated graphics, audio bugs and a crummy UI don’t help. The game is also very grindy thanks to radiant quests, the constant need for ammo and an overreliance on crafting.

    Overall though, if you’re a fan of the world of Fallout and you enjoyed Fallout 3 there’s a good chance you’ll like this one too. There’s definitely a lot to do and a lot to like about this game which is why I'm recommending it if you want a post-apocalyptic RPG fix.    … Expand

    It would be nice to have a game that has both good game play and RPG story, but it seems like games are leaning heavily towards one and are not able to be outstanding in both.

    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.

    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.

    I have had to restart many, many times because of game-breaking bugs that can occur without you even noticing until you've already put in tens of hours.

    What it does right
    If there's one thing in Fallout 4 I personally found worthwhile, it'd be the settlement system. I really enjoyed the base-building mechanics and occasional raids. It reminds me of those old tower defense flash games I used to play on Armorgames.
    On top of that, I also think Fallout 4 has the best weapon/armor customization I've ever seen in a game.

    I am not surprised by the average users' reviews. The game lack of depth compare to Fallout 3. Bethesda has been trying to create a cash machine out of the game. Half of the add-ons are just a rip-off (should have been included in the base game).

    The game is very linear in the story, and very unbalanced. Once you get a power armor and good gun, you will finish the game very quickly.    I am not surprised by the average users' reviews.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

    Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

    But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

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

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

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

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

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

    This fell short of the previous Fallout games - It wasn't a big step forward for the serious instead it felt like a less Open world and more of a linear story ride along. The decision making from Previous Fallouts felt minimized. Still fun to play, it just didn't keep me in the universe for very long. I was hoping by this time we could play a multiplayer Fallout

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Bethesda tries to learn from Obsidian Enterainment and create Mortal engines of Philip Reeve"

    Well, this Fallout is full of something good in its atmosphere. Yes, its still a post-apocalypse game. Its world still look destructed and damaged as it should be.

    1) Combat - F4 is not Escape from Tarkov. However, its drastically much realistic then previous Fallouts. Yes i cant play F1-2 because its combat system thats is even not a 1/10 arrow in the knee.

    The best thing - if you come to medium size raiders base without power-armor or consistent standard armor, you're 50% dead. Thats just awesome, awesome as uncensored. Even New Vegas was not so real. In F3 and FNV you was able to kick back of most of the enemies by low-level rifle without serios gear.

    2) Storyline, Characters, Factions, Atmosphere, etc - time to time F4 is 75-85% of New Vegas quality. Bethesda learned from Obsidian. I appreciate it and respect Bethesda and Obsidian. Previously, Fallout 3 was a kindergarten for 10 year children. Seriously, i was not able to play F3 because of too childish atmosphere. Meanwhile i love New Vegas. New Vegas is one of the best RPG.

    The F4 atmosphere is about something like Philip Reeve books. Fallout 4 dont make me nervous as "The 100" able to do, but its still interestiing. On the contrary, finally, its made me relax. Im calm after i turn off the game and thats drastically great. There is still intrigue, still interesting persons like Piper, Vadim or Deacon, but no fear that "Kate will die because of the dangerous crazy raider/supermutant with sledgehammer"

    Why? Because we are normal persons. We will find two T60/combat armor, then prepare it, buy few Miniguns. Then solve the problems as normal people, not like the drama queens that are diyng just because author need more dolbannaya drama in each chapter of the story.

    3) What is realy bad - "a two mates was traveling from one town to another. In few hours they met deathclaws, rust devils, mechanist's robots, mercenaries, raiders, other mutants, then they find the serios lack of ammo. Their armor were smashed to dust.". Im tired of this. Thats just... economically and demographically unjustified.

    How many raiders were born? Where is all thoose farms that are able to feed the hordes of criminals? How many deathclaw eggs were born? How many robots were made by mechanist? F4 is not a wasteland, F4 is endless Verdun meat grinder - where is all thoose industry plants that are made the divisions of enemies? Im tired of killing this poor guys that i met on the Commonwealth roads.

    Fallout New Vegas was much more real than F4 in case of economics and demography.

    4) Dialoge system is normal. There was not a very rich dialoge trees in F3/NV, so... mods are solve the problems with pre-view of your words. Its fine

    5) In my opinion its good game as for 21 years old me, as for my future kids. I will show them F4, yes. meanwhile, i will never recommend them that... Call of Duty and other facepalm games

    TOTAL: I love Fallout 4, but - only 8/10 is fair
    What Penalties:
    -1 because of economics, demography
    -1 to be honest, there is something that should be more serious in post-apocalypse. Bethesda may create a very good games if they will continue follow for Obsidian    … Expand

Ripped of the voiced protagonist from mass effect. It ripped off minecraft building system and did it worst and there is no unique dialogue no matter what you choose you get the same generic response. Not to mention the tutorial for the settlement building is garbage and the game constantly forces you to build settlements which isn't fun. Bethesda needs to realize fallout is an RPG with first person shooter elements not the other way around.… Expand

    This is a solid game all around, yes it isn't as good as Skyrim for a number of reasons;

    --Too many boring go clear a building quests
    --Locations reused multiple times
    --Uglier terrain
    --Nameless NPCs to 'flesh out' cities
    --Lack of location variety
    --Obvious copy and pasted areas
    --More bland infinitely generated quests

    But it does come with a bunch of upgrades

    --you don't have to level up a perk to unlock a perk, you are free as long as you meet the level requirement for that stat
    --you don't have to go into a menu to loot containers and bodies
    --your followers all have their own backstories, and as they get to like you they reveal a little bit of it here and there, until they ask you to go on a quest with them!
    --completing said follower quest unlocks a perk
    --there are multiple factions that actually oppose each other, you can't just join them all

    There are also times it seems Bethesda didn't care about the game. When you clear out a location to build a settlement, the dead bodies stay there forever, and I am playing in 2021. You'll be addicted and frustrated. It feels so annoying and passive aggressive when they force a random event "kill some people for no real reason" missions to be selected and pop up on your HUD.    … Expand

The design quality on both global and detailed level is very well seen in the construction of lore and different side stories that game told to the player. While NPC's/party members are not exceptionnal and writing is average-good at best, it is still quite attaching, just like one of those TV series having +1000 episodes. Just do not expect it to revolutionise your life.

    It is true that game roleplaying mechanics was terribly simplified with respect to other games in the series, but it does not bother me too much, because of big quantity of other things to do in the game.

    Otherwise I find the game technically successfull (graphics, OST, sound and so on).    … Expand

    If you didn't already know Bethesda didn't understand Fallout, you do now. What do you get if you butcher the dialogue that was so critical to the series, add nothing interesting to the lore, and don't fix most of your mistakes from fallout 3? You get fallout 4. A serviceable shooter in a world with some cool designs, but mostly divorced from what makes Fallout special.

    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.

    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.

    I have a deep love/hate relationship with this game. As a long time Fallout fan and someone who grew up with the 3rd Fallout game I had high expectations from Fallout 4. While those expectation were not met, Fallout 4 is not a bad game. As time has passed, I've begun to appreciate some of the aspects of the game while also being a bit disappointed about the missed potential of it.

    Pros:    I have a deep love/hate relationship with this game. As a long time Fallout fan and someone who grew up with the 3rd Fallout game I had high expectations from Fallout 4. While those expectation were not met, Fallout 4 is not a bad game. As time has passed, I've begun to appreciate some of the aspects of the game while also being a bit disappointed about the missed potential of it.

    Pros:
    - Gunplay and combat has vastly been improved from other Fallout titles.
    - New settlement system.
    - Perks.
    - Character customization and voice acting.
    - Soundtrack is still same old Fallout.

    Mixed:
    - Quests and story can be hit or miss for some people. Personally I found it bland, while the DLC's offered better quests (Far Harbor).
    - Graphics, some people liked the improvements while other expected more.
    - Companions. While I liked most of the companions, there was some missing character development for most of them and with time they offered nothing but help in combat.
    - Exploration, not bad by any means but can feel a bit empty at times.

    Cons:
    - RPG elements are lacking.
    - Quests or actions no longer have skill point requirements (There was one quest with this feature and that person who worked on that quest worked on the older games).
    - Dialogue option is a joke and offers you false sense of choice.
    - The settlement system is pretty shallow once you get into it (needs more late game stuff).

    Overall, Fallout 4 excels more at being an action shooter instead of a classic action role-playing game. You can put a lot of hours into this game and by no means is it bad. If you are a Fallout fan and loved the older titles, you might have to look past some of the flaws to get more engaged with the game.

    The first time I played FO4, I didn't like it. I put it aside for nearly a year. I didn't think I'd ever play it again. However, after the huge disappointment with FO76, and the Steam Version of FO3 being a broken mess, I decided to give FO4 another chance. Eh... it's...OK. Here's my honest opinion into the Good & Bad points of FO4...

    ------------ THE GOOD No level cap. AI    The first time I played FO4, I didn't like it. I put it aside for nearly a year. I didn't think I'd ever play it again. However, after the huge disappointment with FO76, and the Steam Version of FO3 being a broken mess, I decided to give FO4 another chance. Eh... it's...OK. Here's my honest opinion into the Good & Bad points of FO4...

    ------------

    THE GOOD

    No level cap.
    AI intelligence is pretty good.
    Great leveling and perk system.
    Skill books are interesting.
    Pre-War start is epic.
    Nice crafting system.
    Lots of lore reading.
    Dynamic weather system.

    ------------

    THE BAD

    Main Story is complete garbage.
    Exploration is not up to par with FO3.
    Occasional bugs/glitches/crashes.
    Graphics are good, but could be better.
    The DLC (more about that below).
    Repetitive settlement building.
    Companions are stupid; even dogmeat. Best to solo.
    Limited dialogue options and player choices.
    Survival Mode is unbalanced and unrealistic.

    ------------

    My favorite part of the game is the Pre-War start. Having your character in game in 2077 before the bombs fall, and then returning 210 years later in 2287 is EPIC! Seriously, what a great concept and Bethesda executed it beautifully.

    I also love the weather system. Rad storms are no joke. Make sure you carry Rad-X and RadAway.

    More about the DLC.. IMHO, only "Far Harbor" and "Automatron" are worth getting. The others are mediocre at best.

    As many have stated, it's not a "true" Fallout game. It's more of a shooter with RPG elements. Sad.

    The settlement building is really boring, repetitive and tedious. Also, many settlements are forced on you rather you want them or not. But... thank God, you can ignore most of them, and just leave them to their fate.

    The lack of dialogue and players choices through that dialogue is what killed the game for many people. Some of them quests, you have no choice but to accept, and not only that, be a NICE guy/gal.

    As for the story, well... aside from that Epic pre-war start, I didn't really care for an already made family, and then trying to feel sorry for a dead spouse and kidnapped baby. I mean you knew them for what, 5 minutes? The player character should have been single as they were in the previous games. The end game was just horrid. Very disappointing. Not enough options or choices.

    So... Fallout 4 is an OK game, but is certainly not up to par with FO3 or New Vegas. I think a rating of 6 is about right, and is more than generous. Hopefully FO5 will return to its old roots and gives us an epic game. If not, I'd say Fallout is dead. This and 76 has ruined the series. Sad but true. Cheers!    … Expand

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

    Overall, it's below average. It's bad. If you're not burnt out with Open World games and love the series, get it. Otherwise there's far better open world post-apocalypse games out there.    … Expand

The game is very tiring, you spend hours and hours playing and want to sleep, the story is very boring and poorly written, you spend the entire game going from one end of the map to the other in search of a kidnapped kid, the system combat is terrible, the weapons seem to be airsoft because they seem to take little damage from enemies, I played thisone of the worst rpgs I've ever played.

    It has a lot of bad things and i understand why Fallout fans tend to hate it, but i had a good time playing it. That being said, it has the same problems as the other games from Bethesda, so i also ended up droping it.

    The most prominent video game industry failure for me lately was Fallout 4. They eliminated all the RPG components and transformed it into a shallow dumbed-down shooter looter.

    How many FPS games and shooter looters are there on the gaming market? Approximately a billion, and they offer more invariably. How typical are post-apocalyptic RPGs? These games are very sparse, yet they still had to take Fallout from us and make it into a stupid game for idiots.

    For example, Fallout 3 significantly altered the F1 and F2 isometric 2D engine to a complete 3D powerhouse. Bethesda did a satisfactory job with F3, and I nevertheless go back to it occasionally. I've remained a die-hard Fallout enthusiast since I learned about the game (many believed they would adopt a GURPS based system at the moment) in a publication back in the mid-90s. However, the disappointment of how poorly Bethesda did with Fallout 4 has made me never want to play another Fallout game ever again.    … Expand

    Pros, The wasteland, and the 1900s experience with a nice storyline. The game uses lovely old blues, jazz music.

    Con, Too much bug during playing. Sometimes it also interrupting your gameplay and storyline.

    Very enjoyable open world game, but it lacks the rpg mechanics that made the other fallouts so good. The main and side quests are good enough to encourage exploration, and the weapons are satisfying to use. It is really good if you look at it from a survival game perspective.

    Just to sum it up, it's an "eh" game. Not good, not bad, it's "eh". Story is partially interesting the first time you play it. Graphics are okay I guess, the atmosphere isn't just there, some characters are memorable, side-quests are horrible, combat is actually good, the map is good and all of the endings are basically the same.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    I hated every moment of this game. I was expecting a game filled with action, but instead it is an adventure game with lame quests and dialogues. It was also a freaking mission to do basic things like setting the resolution. Terrible game. I'll only trust the user scores from now on. I know that for sure.

    What a disappointment this game was. The dialogue is horrific, the quests are bland and unmemorable as are the characters.

What about the choices with lasting consequences? Karma is gone none of your actions matter. RPG? Doesnt really feel like it. Just feels like a generic FPS game with a crap story and clunky combat.

    But the gunplay and gun mods are certainly improved and it can be fun at times. And exploring every location and finding all kinds of notes etc finding out more about the world is great as per usual though in this game it just doesnt feel like the world has as many interesting places to explore.

    The vaults of FO3 and FO NV with their messed up backstories that make you feel upset? None of that here. The vaults are generic and their backstories are weak. Disappointing. Whats even more disappointing is the branching endings of the main story line. You choose between 3 factions, all with their own takes on synths. Personally, I didnt really care. Even though your son is involved, you just dont feel compelled to care.

    The engine is terrible, runs like crap and looks even worse Bethesda needs to throw this trash away ASAP.

    Far worse than FO3 and NV but its still an enjoyable game, the combat can be fun at times, exploring the world is fun as well. If you have nothing better to do its worth checking out    … 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]
