    - 7 years waiting for this junk? What a joke. This game could have easily come out 4 years ago.
    - Far too easy. Within an hour you have power armour and have killed a Deathclaw. Within 3 hours I had killed a legendary deathclaw and got my hands on a Fatboy.
    - Still walled/loading screen separated towns. GTA doesn't need them so why the **** does this shoddy game?

    - No actual choice. Again, this game isn't fit for 2015. Unlike every other rpg out there this game still gives you no choice on how you want to play it. You have to be the good guy and go down the linear storyline. It's horribly dated.

    If this game didn't have Bethesda or Fallout stamped on it, it would have gone straight to bargain bins    … Expand

    When I finally reached the Institute for the "big reveal" I immediately executed my son and then proceeded to purge the Institute of any life form be they natural or synthetic. Such was the utter stupidity of the plot that I felt compelled to exterminate every one of these imbeciles to stop their idiocy from infecting the rest of the wasteland. Not that the people in the wasteland were any better but they've been exposed to high levels of radiation so their brain damage is understandable. Oh and I had to download a mod in order to kill almost anything not a raider or a ghoul in this damn game.

    Despite the gross dumbification that has occurred in the Elder Scrolls series, this game actually made me appreciate Skyrim for the factions and guilds that you can join. Believe it or not in that game you can actually *drumroll* roleplay a **** character!

    This game is comprised of two things - shoot and loot.

    Don't get me wrong I quite like running around in the GITS suit shooting stuff with an M14 or sneaking around stabbing raiders but you quickly realise that it's all for nothing. Just a big sandbox full of things to shoot but nothing to actually invest you in the world. Bethesda appears more interested in creating gimmicky theme parks than they do a realistic living breathing world.

    The BoS are you're stereotypical good guys now, unlike New Vegas where they were struggling with the growing realization of themselves becoming totally redundant, overshadowed by the NCR. In this game they have access to a massive airship, untold numbers of vertibirds, power armour suits and soldiers - I thought these guys were supposed to be a close knit group of secretive cultists who lived in bunkers?

    Even with mods that show you what your character is going to say the dialogue is still atrocious. Upon meeting the BoS and completing the mandatory "go there kill everything" mission (get used to them!) I was asked if I wanted to join them. The guy said he expected me to follow their tenants - I asked them what they were and it was "honesty and respect" - really... is that it!?

    It's an average looting/shooting game but hands down the worst Fallout game ever made and probably the worst RPG ever made.    … Expand

The map is pitifully small for a 2015 AAA title, recently we have seen enormous maps from Far Cry 3, Just Cause 2-3 and GTAV that completely dwarf Fallout 4, and just to add insult to injury a large portion of the map is freakin' water! The "build a base" function feels tacked-on, clunky and unfinished which is a theme that runs into almost every facet of the game. The graphics look dated and at best are inconsistent, there exist graphics mods for Fallout 3 that look better than Fallout 4 right now. For me, the worst thing of all is the dialog options, Bethesda replaced the much loved text dialog system from Fallout 3 with a restrictive, badly written and poorly voice acted dialog wheel. Overall a VERY disappointing release, DO NOT BUY!!!… Expand

    This game had the potential to be GOTY. Now I'm not too sure. To many things have been removed, and not enough added. For what reason do the devs have for using the same engine from morrowing if not just pure laziness?

    I wouldn't recommend this game, I didn't find it entertaining. I don't often agree with negative User Reviews on metacritic, but they are almost 100% correct in this instance.

    Its frustrating, since it had the potential to be a true classic. It gets a zero score because someone at Bethesda needs to wake up and realize the Fallout franchise has lost its direction.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yeah, i spent more than 8 hrs per day on this game the first 3 months it released. have to say i really enjoyed digging up every junk i can find or shooting enemies with 12 new companions (every one of them has their own stories now, seems almost good as Serana in Skyrim) at first, even spending hours just trying to get a legendary minigun or fat man could be fun.

    But later i realized that i just wasted my 5 month time on endless repetitive crappy nonsense. Some awful game experience also started to sick me. i played TESV again and found out that Skyrim is a goddamn masterpiece. Bethesda only take half or less efforts on Fallout 4 than they did in Skyrim!

    I think Preston Garvey and his minutemen are totally garbage. They don't have any meaningful tasks for you, just bossing you around and making you play nice. I feel like a slave when forced to do their endless crap. I HATE PRESTON GARVEY. He is TOO good to be true, he seems fake to me. The guy has NO sense of humor, you can't even have a joke on him. Even worse, he asks player to be as Mr. Goody as he. You are the general? Sure. When people bump into him, he always says: YEAH, I AM THE PRESIDENT **** GARVEY. He NEVER Introduces ME, THE GENERAL to anyone, even once. HEY WHERE'S THE GRATITUTE? It's ME who safe their sorry asses from those scary little bugs or being kidnapped by hungry green-skin monsters LOL!

    And why the hell should i help those low life farmers? I build them houses, make them beds, give them food and water, hell i even set missile turrets all around the whole damn village, i **** did everything they asked, and what did they do? They steal my delicious deathclaw steaks, they steal my fat man and gatling laser, they steal my X-01 power armor and wouldn't get out, they sleep on the bed that is supposed shared only between Piper and me. Wait, there's more. They still think you are a dangerous figure who is looking for trouble, they still suspect you to be the synth spy sent by the evil institute, they still complain about their filthy fingernails filled with mud to ruin your dinner. And the best part is that these idiots love bossing you around. When i beat one place and about to loot legendary miniguns, a dude sit on the ground next to the treasure chest and yell at me: Hey you, i was kidnapped by these scary little bugs, take me to my house 100 meters from here or i won't get up and you are an **** WTF??? These kinds of kidnapping **** even happens before the task is activated. I dare say these cute bugs are the world's best bodyguards for those hostage cosplay lovers because the dude "kidnapped" will stay in that place forever if you just ignore them. Once i used console command to summon that idiot back to his house and guess what? He just walked back to the place where he was "kidnapped"!

    The companions are dull. Most of their stories are boring after all, losing girls, losing mommy and daddy, all the same stuff. You know, this is wasteland, i don't really care about some miserable pass, too common in this **** commonwealth. i want something new, something that can really hook my mind, some adventurous type story. This game has no totally badass followers. All humanoid companions dislikes murder. Why the hell? You gotta trust our judgement. We killed this son of **** because we have a DAMN GOOD REASON, that's why, and that's that. All companions except Hancock dislike chem use at last, even include Cait after helping her rid of drug addict and MacCready if romanced. What's wrong with chem anyway? Yeah we know drug is bad in real life but this is Fallout 4!

    BUT these are not the most disgusting thing. The worst **** is, why the hell is everybody just shoot player if they get pissed by a even accidental or minor mistake? I remember once i got caught when stealing a BOBBY PIN in Diamond City, the guard just shoot on sight, and the whole city turn hostile immediately. WTF is wrong with these people? Petty crime is different from capital offence, you know. The faction setting in this game is totally ****. NPCs solve problems only by killing and violence, they never talk or negotiate first. This is goddamn barbaric! NPCs in fallout 4 never understand the difference between friendly fire/collateral damage and intentional murder, the whole bunch of people just shoot you without warning first if you accidentally hit them. I remember in Skyrim friendly NPC would usually say I AM ON YOUR SIDE or DON'T DO THAT if you hit them by accident. The city guards will always try to ask for fine first before attack in TESV.

    The faction setting also makes companions can easily turn against you. Most companions will become immediately hostile in many cases. Where the hell is loyalty then? Sure, they have your whatever good point, but they shouldn't stab me on the back. That's treason, and I HATE TRAITORS. And i can't revenge on damn traitors because this game set companions as essential characters and they are invincible!    … Expand

    Fallout 4 starts slow and takes its time to build up, but when it does... it's not impressive. It's a game like the previously titles FO3 and New vegas, it's a huge exploration game where you can join factions, have companions to be with you wherever you go, where you make some choices about who you want to be and it gives you enough freedom to choose your own play style.

It's a game like the previously titles FO3 and New vegas, it's a huge exploration game where you can join factions, have companions to be with you wherever you go, where you make some choices about who you want to be and it gives you enough freedom to choose your own play style.

    The main quest isn't very interesting (I won't spoil anything for you), for a fallout game I was expecting something epic that wasn't "predictable" and that kept me hooked the entire time, and that wasn't the case at all, I found myself a lot of the time pushing myself to complete certain objectives. It drags on waaaay too much without giving you any satisfaction in the end like it should. You'll feel like you've been grinding so much for nothing.

    On the other hand, the side quests are vast and lets you choose the path you want to take, however the choice system isn't very deep and it always ends up with positive, negative and neutral responses which many times leaves you unsatisfied for something that always were a big complex part of fallout, which made it great.
    To sum it up, it doesn't give you much to read, instead you hear it. Which is not necessarily bad but it makes it tedious at times when you don't know exactly how your character is going to express him/herself. Which for a fallout game isn't a very in depth system and breaks the immersion a lot.
    Still, the side quests end up being far more interesting than the main story itself.

    The down side with the quests is the bugs/glitches. Yup, you heard me, it's Fallout New vegas all over again (before the patches) where 1 in each 4/5 quests have very annoying and sometimes BREAKING bugs that will make you go insane for not being able to complete them. Not to talk about all the crashes where some of them can even corrupt the save files. So save often to avoid bitter situations.

    The graphics of the game are nothing S.P.E.C.I.A.L on ultra at 1080p. Don't get me wrong, I like FO graphics the way they are (on ultra) because I'm not very picky about it, but comparing to other titles out there already, it's very outdated...

    This is where things get complicated.. because the game is poorly optimized, even on consoles where you get 30 fps (not acceptable at this point) and in some areas 25... expect A LOT of random bugs on the map and CRASHES.
    The game looks WORSE than fallout 3 (a game that came out almost 8 years ago) on low and medium graphics. The thing is the graphics on low and medium are LITERALLY broken on the minimum specs, especially with the shadows and textures out of place. which is just unacceptable and it will need some patches to fix that. The lock fps being a problem too.

    Gameplay, it's similar to the other (3D) previously titles, nothing especial but it works, it has more animations and a fluid gameplay if you can run it on high with no problems, otherwise be prepared for stutters frequently.

    All that said, this game needs a lot of work. It wasn't properly tested and now it needs some serious patches to fix this mess.
    It's not impressive for a Fallout game and it drags a lot of the quests way too much, kinda like MGSV.
    Satisfying,neat gameplay, with more animations and an innovative vats system that slows time instead of just freezing it.
    Good, fun and solid crafting system where you'll spend hours on it. One of the best I've seen.
    About the lvl up system, it's different but not necessarily better. Just... different. And I personally preferred the old one, it was more closely-knit.
    It's still worth playing, but it will only be worth buying once it gets properly fixed. However old fallout fans will be disappointing with this one.

    This game would be a solid 7.5, but dull main quest, some broken secondary quests and crashes (even on consoles!) are just unacceptable at this point. No game is perfect, but this is way too much, and it's not the first time happening either.
    So for that it gets a 6 out of 10 for releasing an untested, poorly optimized and badly polished game to the public.

    Edit: I tried, I really did. But after playing some more time I can now say that this isn't a game, it's an abomination! I've never seen such a grinding game in my entire life, it's so bad and the BUGS/GLITCHES aren't helping at all. Let alone the CRASHES.
    I was generous with the 6 before, after some more hours in it and getting as far as the game to be truly unplayable, this alpha V0(zero) game gets a 0.    … Expand

    I was seldom bored as fast with a game as in this case. played for 2 hours, Pacing is too slow, characters are dull, gameplay is clunky , weapons have no impact to them, everything looks like it is made of clay, AI is retarded, bugs everywhere, writing is lazy and sometimes nonsensical.
    I found no redeeming qualities in this game.

    Garbage. The only people who like this game are people who still think loot boxes are okay, seriously.

    The story? The entire emotional setup of the opening chapter lasts about 30 seconds, so by the time the "big plot event" happens you barely have any idea who these characters are and you certainly don't have any reason to care about them. No build-up, no payoff. The RPG mechanics?    Garbage. The only people who like this game are people who still think loot boxes are okay, seriously.

    The story? The entire emotional setup of the opening chapter lasts about 30 seconds, so by the time the "big plot event" happens you barely have any idea who these characters are and you certainly don't have any reason to care about them. No build-up, no payoff.

    The RPG mechanics? Hilariously bad. I hadn't been sufficiently warned by other reviews so here's the deal. You only get a few points to put into your SPECIAL stats at the start. This is because at any level up, you can put that point into any SPECIAL stat- OR IN ANY PERK IN THE ENTIRE TREE! This means that by Level 3 you could already have every single perk you really need for a super-overpowered build that will destroy combat for the rest of the game. In older fallouts, many perks were gated by level or by other perks so you had to build things on top of each other. That system was way more rewarding. Like the plot there's no build-up, so there's no pay-off. You don't feel like you earned anything on the entire tree- because you can get the "best" perk in the game at Level 1. Seriously.

    The shooting mechanics? This engine is old, ugly, buggy, and clunky. There's not getting around this. So even though the shooting is much more like "Caller Doody" than in past entries, it's still bad. So they sacrificed all the RPG elements, for mediocre-at-best- shooting. Not worth it.

    The time sinks? Base building / settlements are an MMO-style time sink. You really have to look up tips online for almost everything because the interface is awful and poorly described in-game. The materials are absolutely a time-waster. Trying to craft settlements, weapons, and armor will add literally tens of hours to your game- not by increasing the fun you'll have- but by making you pick up every freaking thing you run across to throw it into the recycling bin and turn it into crap. Bo-ring. Luckily, you can skip almost all of it. Deposit your normal armloads of crap into the bin, and combined with the easy game and overpowered perk system, you don't really have to worry about crafting good stuff to complete the game. Ever.

    The settlements? I'm not doing them except for the main story. Period. It's absolute bullcrap MMO-style time sinks. And the system behind the settlements is useless- anyone who actually cares about this part of the game has to mod it heavily to make it behave in a sane way. Short version- even if you arm your best settlement with way too many defenses, the game caps out at something like 80% chance they'll lose when they get attacked. It's stupid. There is no point.

    The business practices? Creation club is horrible business. They tried to make you pay money for community-developed mods. So people in the community improve the game, and Bethesda wants to profit off them. Absolutely greedy.

    Worst entry in the Fallout series, save for the "Fallout Shelter" mobile game. It's that bad. Do not buy at full price, ever. Maybe worth $15 if you're a hardcore fan. But 5 minutes in you may get a loading screen that spoils the biggest reveal in the entire plot since they're randomized. Non-spoiler.. the "new kind of robot" in the game was my second-ever loading screen. Now the whole second half of the game is spoiled for me. Who the hell decided that was okay?    … Expand

    The dialogue wheel was one of the earliest mistakes we saw with this game. It dumbs down the dialogue to an intense degree. Less dialogue choices, and it is used many times to deceptively create an illusion of choice, when all choices are the same because you are forced into one type of character, having no leeway on how you want to be. There are even sometimes where you get four choices that are all no, no other answer can be done. Combined with the very poor voice acting and heavily linear story that reuses some parts from Fallout 3, the narrative is atrocious. It is a step down from New Vegas, where you could actually make choices and have more than just two slightly different endings that do not depend on your actions in the game.

    But what about the gunplay? Don't think you'll be having any fun in that either. VATS is even more buggy than it was before, where you can see the laser or bullet hit the person's head but no damage occurs. Heck this happens outside of VATS. Enemy and Companion AI is also as smart as a potato battery, and will frequently get stuck or glitch out. Speaking of which, there are glitches everywhere. They did not even try.

    Graphically, the game is unappealing in every way. Textures are noticeably bad, and there are hardly any shadows to be seen. Everything looks like plastic. Plus they even reused assets from Skyrim and Fallout 3 (seven years ago!), including models and sounds.

    All RPG elements have been dumbed down or removed. The game no longer has any skills. It's only perks and SPECIAL. Despite this, New Vegas base had more perks than this game PLUS skills. All the perks in this game are just percentage increases of stats, mostly, with a few exceptions. Overall, no effort in the RPG elements of a RPG.

    No path will fix the horrible story, characters, and lack of things in this game. A huge disappointment.    … Expand

    Bethesda is known for making boring buggy games.

    The facial animation on the PC/NPCs barely show any facial expressions. The dialog tree in the game is similiar to BioWare's standard by picking few options and see if the playable character is saying something relevant to the player's choice.

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.

Companions don't die, neither do most named NPCs, you cannot dismiss Dogmeat (how did Dogmeat get all the way from The Capital Wasteland, D.C. to Boston, Massachusetts?) Skills are removed and everything is tied to SPECIAL which is easy to level up, concerning that the level cap has been removed. The graphics are low quality, dated, and are non-configurable despite platform. FOV is locked at 60 instead of standard 90. Fans will say "mods" being able to fix things, but where's the logic in buying something broken? If I went to a car dealership I wouldn't want to purchase a car that later when received turned out to be broken only to be told when I get it that I can just have it repaired. Terrible game do not buy. 0/10.… Expand

    Fallout 3 was a huge step back from New Vegas and even 3, and I hope Bethesda don't do it with the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout. Worst Fallout since the one that did not get released.    … Expand

    Fallout 4 é simplesmente a maior decepção do ano em termos gráficos, desempenho e enredo. Nada alcança o hype criado em cima da franquia.Tudo que envolve o jogo não tem polimento e a movimentação é extremamente robótica e surreal. Em fim, a maior decepção do ano, sem dúvida.

    The problem with this game isn't the graphics. The problem is the terrible writing, stupid dialogue system and ruined SPECIAL/Skill system and as a cherry, Ron Pearlman isn't even the narrator anymore.

    I don't want to waste any more of my time complaining so I'll list the problems as a warning to those of you who were thinking of getting it:

    - Bugs, bugs, bugs and more bugs. Models and textures glitch, broken game physics, doesn't work with SLI. Bad framerate on a gaming spec system that runs everything maxed out.
    - Zero RPG element with no dialogue. Uses the console styled "wheel" with vague responses that do nothing for the story.
    - Bad storyline. Boring and generic and you're dragged on a linear path. Your choices don't matter.
    - Bad interface. A pain to use with the keyboard and mouse.
    - Field of vision too small. Hard to see anything especially with the weapon blocking half the screen.
    - Bad graphics. It looks like FO3. And FO3 modded looks better than this 2015 release.
    - The map and world is tiny and restrictive. Unimaginative. Nothing unique scattered around to pique your interest. Feels like they hired mappers who made the rest of the top budget generic corridor shooters.
    - Boring gameplay. Shoot random enemies that come straight for you or stand in the open firing their weapons at you like there wasn't an AI programmed. And do more of the same.
    - The world building they hyped up was so preset it felt like grinding to make things appear. Doesn't hold a candle to the Real Time Settlers mod.

With Fo4 they made the combat so much better, but they didn't put any effort into the most important part of their game, the roleplaying, it should be better than 3 and NV, not worse than them.

    I'm also VERY disappointed they removed some features of the game that required the player to prepare and plan before doing a quest or journey (Condition, Hardcore mode etc). Though i'm loving the base building and part collecting feature, it's a fantastic addition though it feels like the game is constantly shoving that aspect in my face all the time. Just don't see why hardcore/condition/jamming was removed, Fallout is a survival themed game, it just makes sense to have it available at least as an option (like FNV).

    Removal of skills was silly, limits roleplaying. 95% of perks are combat related, forcing you to play a blockbuster action hero. Factions suck, No Karma, No Reputation (Really Bethesda?). I'm very annoyed the pipboy doesn't tell/show you how irradiated you are as I play with the hud off. Also, traps disappear if they kill you? It's too much spoon feeding.

    Story is pretty good. Map is gorgeous so far, though it feels disappointingly small. Visuals are fantastic despite what people are saying. Ghouls, roaches, and other beasts have improved drastically. And there's an excellent modding community coming up.

    I'd give it a 7/10 if it weren't a Fallout title. But since it is, and it's supposed to be a sequel, an improvement in all aspects over it's previous entries, I feel like it deserves a 5/10 for failing in that regard.    … Expand

Poor optimization in addition to a 30fps lock make for a painful experience for anybody who is used to playing the likes of Fallout 3/NV on PC. This is in addition to the game's speed being locked to the framerate, which is an issue a seasoned developer like Bethesda should not have, and let's not forget the fov, which is borked beyond belief. While in previous games the fov could be adjusted properly through the use of the console this game's attempt at simulating that is poorly implemented at best.

    This, coupled with a game that touts 'total freedom' yet yanks on your chain for straying from the pre-determined path out of fear you'll get bored and or frustrated and you've got a game that meets only the bare minimum of what we'd consider an RPG. A dialogue wheel that is incredibly vague at best is key to shattering my immersion every time I get into a conversation, and NPCs who, in addition to being immortal, once again restricting my choice as a roleplayer, are poorly voice acted/animated and badly written. None of the dialogue choices I make come out the way I want, and I feel like the voiced PC was implemented less to be an immersive and interesting feature and more to cover up the railroading the game forces you down to give you it's 'emotional' and 'intense' plot. Which, though I won't spoil, is hilariously poorly implemented and just flat out cliche. The game has potential to do interesting things with it's quests and story, but scrapes the bottom of the barrel, both boring the player who is interested in that sort of thing and shattering previously established Fallout lore in the process.

    The only positive I can really give the game is that the shooting is better, but even then, this is meant to be an RPG, not an FPS. The guns are still hilariously weak sounding and not terribly fun to use, even when fully customized.

    This is by far Bethesda's lowest effort production, I cannot recommend this at full price, or at any price really.

    Please, if you love what Bethesda used to be, do not buy this game. If they see a hit in profits, it might just be what they need to turn themselves around.    … 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]
