    -Complete removal of skills, giving birth to a streamlined, watered down perk system, thus removing any chance of going for unique builds like in previous games
    -Voiced dialogue, the MC sounds the same whether you have the face of a 200 Kg black man or an old man struggling with cancer
    -Complete removal of the Role Playing part of the RPG, now you are locked to play with Bethesda's concerned daddy character, which motives don't even click with the player since I'm not a father nor married.
    -The soundtrack is a huge step down from New Vegas, there isn't a single memorable track in this game that pumps you up during battles or keeps you wary of your surroundings whenever exploring
    -The pacing is all over the place, the game gives you a Power Armor and a Minigun in the very first quest, something that you had to work for in previous games and wouldn't be even usable without proper training
    -Bland NPCs with even worse voice acting (I'm looking at you Pothead Grandma), I was literally pushed into helping these Minutemen guys I couldn't care less about, there was no chance to refuse.
    -New dialogue wheel system consisting of just 4 options ( they are always revolve around Yes/No/Maybe/Sarcastic, the latter being even more confusing, since I can't know if my character will make a playful joke or be a complete **** to whoever I'm talking with). Compared to the vast amount of dialogue options in previous games, this feels like a cheap attempt at trying to appeal to wider, low attention spam audience who couldn't get into past titles since you had to read too much for their own tastes.
    -Base building is mediocre, you don't get to experience a bird's eye view of what you are building, this translates in poor positioning of structures. The building menus are also clunky and feel more like they were made with a console controller in mind.
    -The minimalistic, but huge UI is bland and makes you wonder how can someone get paid to design something so lifeless.
    -Gone are the different unarmed attacks able to be performed in VATS due the removal of said skill. The game using Damage Resistance instead of New Vegas' Damage Threshold also makes the life of an unarmed character very difficult.
    -Some guns also take considerable space on the screen, like the starter 10mm Pistol and the Laser Rifle
    -Lack of humor, there's no wacky/funny/unsettling tiny bits like those from the first two games and New Vegas' Wild Wasteland perk.
    -The whole ''War, War never changes'' phrase is said nonstop without any context whatsoever, what once was thrown once in a while to set up the mood, is now a ingame meme, hell, the main character says it to himself while looking at the mirror at the start while chatting with his wife.
    -The warmer color palette, alongside the wax, olive oil bathed character models gives the game a cartoon feel that makes no sense for such a game like Fallout
    -Legendary enemies/Epic loot system that seems to be taken straight out of Borderlands
    -Lore inconsistencies, Super Mutants shouldn't be this far on the East Coast, nor have Enclave PA pieces lying around to be picked (hell, no one even mentions anything while you are using it).
    -Weapons simply disappear when holstered, for no reason at all. I wonder if your equipment will also disappear in the next Elder Scrolls.
    -On rails adventure, your decisions don't matter anymore. Not to mention the complete lack of shades of grey story, it's Good vs Evil again and you are presented with the opportunity of being Wasteland Jesus instead of earning that spot and letting the wasteland turn you into a man like in Fallout 1/2/NV.

    This game is the best definition of mediocre I can think of, It's full of misguided design decisions, Bethesda came up with a dumbed down Fallout 3 - Season 2 instead of improving on everything that made New Vegas such a special Fallout game. This game isn't even Fallout anymore, is just a Far Cry game set in a wacky 50's sitcom setting.    … Expand

    Just stunned that Bethesda would put a game like this to market. I'm only an hour in, but that has been the most dissapointing hour of gameplay that I've encountered.

I can't imaginatively leap into a gameworld if the characters around me all stare at me cross-eyed, lips moving out of sync, dialogue inane and childish, amid a world of giant blocky textures that jiggle in the wind like mother nature in the midst of an epileptic episode.

    Yes, the dissapointment is a product of my expectations. I admit that. I expected Bethesda to take good care of the Fallout franchise that I have loved through five iterations (FO1, FO2, Fallout Tactics, FO3, FONV). But none of those looked as half-♥♥♥♥♥ as this. I expected BS to follow FO3 with a polished, refined game, with top notch characterisation, story, pacing, a world-class RPG system, with an enlarged, gorgeous game-world.

    I expected immersion. I expected to walk out of the vault and feel like I had entered a living breathing wasteland. A real place. But there's a four pixel dog that post one pat wants to follow me for life and a bloody Power Armour repair station next door. There's Raiders dressed like 12 year old punks head shotting people who explode brain matter across the pavement like a dropped bottle of Fanta, all in VATS slow mo.

    In the age of Witcher 3, this is just appalling. Sort of like a C grade film, aimed at kids, seemingly without a budget.

    There's a reason FO4 has 3,000 reviews on Metacritic with an average score in the 4's. Stay well away, unless brainless, low quality crafting shooters are your thing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Можно так сказать, я являюсь огромным фанатом игр серии The Elders Scrolls и Fallout, причем фол я узнал уже в бетездовском исполнении. Начиная с Моровинда я "заиграл" все их последующие игры до дыр, совершил наверное миллионы установок модов за многие разы перепрохождений. Сказать что я ждал новую игру с нетерпением - ничего не сказать. Но к моему разочарованию я получил совсем не то чего так долго ждал. Чтобы все было понятно задам себе тут вопрос: "Что я хотел увидеть в новой части игры?" Думаю с ответом на него со мной согласятся многие игроки. Я хотел увидеть развитие наработок Вегаса, все хорошее старое вместе с новыми возможностями, увлекательный сюжет, проработку персонажей и диалогов, и мир который хотелось бы изучать. ВСЕ. А получил я в итоге: выпиленное все то хорошее что было в Нью Вегасе (крафт патронов и оружия, хардкор режим, далее подробней); убитую систему диалогов; тупорылую озвучку главного героя; жену и ребенка (на которых мне наплевать потому что я их вижу в игре 5 минут, но как не странно они являются движущей силой всего сюжета); порезанную систему прокачки, абсолютно несуразную и дибильную, которая ограничена уровнем персонажа; новый крафт, идея которого неплоха, но выполнена плохо (крафт, каким он был в NV убили, вместо того чтобы добавить новые возможности к отличным старым фишкам они все выпилили. В игре пропало чувство "полные штаны радости" от того что нашел в какой то трудной локации отличную винтовку, которая в магазине стоит больше тебя, просто потому что оружия тупо НЕТ. Вместо этого есть дибильные пистолеты которые можно улучшить до вундервафель, разнообразия это нисколько не принесло. Зато теперь единственный стимул лезть в какие то дыры, логова рейдеров и супермутантов это МУСОР, да мусор, из которого мы клепаем заборы и прицелы для пушек. Ожидал увидеть глубокую кастомизацию стволов, а не улучшение пистолета до снайперской винтовки 50го калибра, писал бы про этот крафт вечно, но надо идти дальше); куда уж в отзыве про Фол4 без жалобы на силовую броню в первом квесте? Вместо того чтобы показать новые возможности брони и "сюжетным" способом отобрать ее у игрока, например сломать ее в бою с Когтем смерти, нам дарят самую имбовую штуку в игре, и вся игра превращается в симулятор силовой брони. Скажете можно отказаться же.. конечно можно, но ведь она продается у торговцев, просто так валяется во многих местах, дается по сюжету несколько раз. По силовой броне можно было сделать целую квестовую цепочку, чтобы достать ее из самых опасных подземелий по кусочкам, и тогда игрок ощутил бы всю радость от того, что НАКОНЕЦ ТО он оденет этот божественный доспех. Само собой чтобы это был единственный способ получить силовую броню. Но увы; вся бронь, кроме силовой, выглядит убого, одеть реально нечего, кроме СБ; отсутствие хардкорного режима вообще возмущает. Зачем строить дом, кровать, место для готовки еды если спать и есть в принципе то не обязательно?; отсутствие репутации и кармы; не развитая толком система постройки, для галочки, где можно сделать промышленную водоочистную установку, мощные электрогенераторы, турели, но нельзя сделать нормальный дом без текущей крыши и дырявых стен. Поселения статичные и мертвые, кроме игрока никто ничего не делает, только если пальцем ткнуть мол иди поли грядки итп. А если занять ту же бензоколонку то на нее тупо нельзя поставить двери (вообще эта фича с постройкой поселений изначально мертвая, но можно было сделать толково, раз такой упор на нее сделали); разнообразия ноль, везде натыканы рейдеры и супермутанты, локации красивы внешне, но уровни это копипаста из лесниц и этажей; и наконец то, самое главное - сюжет! Сюжета нет. Главная сюжетная ветка настолько тупорылая, что слов нет... Сайд квесты генерируемая копипаста, сходи убей, сходи принеси. Если многое из вышесказанного можно исправить модами, то сюжет не исправить ни как. Игра пустая, безжалостно тупая, порезанная, упрощенная до не могу. Очень жаль выливать столько говна на Бетезду, действительно жаль. Как я писал выше я провел уйму времени в TES и Fallout, верный так сказать фанат их творчества. Надеюсь эту игру зальют таким количеством негатива, что в будущем они даже не подумают выкатывать на рынок такой огрызок. Хватит все упрощать, вместо того чтобы делать игры глубже и сложнее вы делаете поверхностное кинцо для дибилов с наивным сюжетиком и собачкой. И чтобы добавить в конце соли на рану так сказать, маленькое обращение: уважаемая Bethesda Game Studios, МАМОНТ игровой индустрии, мастера рпг, посмотрите на своих коллег из CD Projekt Red. То творение которое они недавно выпустили в виде Ведьмака 3 настолько крутое, что в сравнении с ними, исходя из качества вашего последнего продукта, вы кажетесь просто кучкой недоучек вместе с друзьями из Bioware которые не годятся даже полы мыть в их студии. The Witcher 3 игра года, Fallout 4 провал года.

    We're this a game by another other name not known as an Rpg First before anything else, it would have gotten a 5/10. It gets zero from me as it's yet again another half effort attempt to cash in on a franchise that has gained immense popularity by tailoring it to as many different people as possible since the release of Fallout 3.

    This is an Rpg in name only, much of what made Fallout an actual rpg has been thrown out for the sake of keeping it "simple" to the point the game expects most of its players to be at best children. Mindless action with admittedly superior gunplay are the only things keeping this amusing, with the character models being improved over the hideous ones from the previous 2 games as another bonus.

    However the story is as predictable as it is simple, with the writing probably being of the worst quality akin to a B movie script at best. Dialogue is at times cringe worthy, with few characters being in any way interesting to those requiring more than a laser pointer to entertain them. Some characters however I've noted have lots of potential but quickly drop off what with the restrictions of having such a small amount of dialogue present in the game.

    And that really sums up Fallout 4 for me; It had so much potential yet dropped the ball in near every way.

    You'll see many reviewers giving this title a 10/10 as it diverts further away from what made Fallout great, Rpg elements, grand story and a plethora of well built content to explore. It may be fine as an every gamer kind of game but for true fallout fans, this is one disappointing title.

    To rate it as high as far more respectable games such as Witcher 3 or MGS 5 is a notion most would find laughable.

    **TL;DR : You like CoD? Hate good story and RPGs? Get this. Other wise, Rent it or wait for Obsidian to do another Fallout. 0/10**    … Expand

I will not tolerate this, Bethesda, I will never ever buy ur game again. Because F4 is just re-texturized Skyrim but with guns and power armour and even less depth to it than Skyrim (and this is when Skyrim itself was an empty copy-paste game). No talents, **** perks, SPECIAL system totally **** up cuz u can +1 to SPECIAL at levels (WTF?SICK!), dialogues are just utter bullsh*t - primitive with "yes", "no","sarcasm" options, VATS is useless because if u have a not so big hit %chance u can still right-mouse-click-to-scope and headshot from 150 meters away like in CallofBooty or any generic shooter (and this is when we speak about Fallout game - a supposedly RPG dammit) , post-apocalyptic world is not post-apocalyptic AT ALL: its too damn bright and and joyful and full of mirth (enough for kiddies who always like bright lifeful graphics in their Crysises). I can enumerate disadvantages of new **** so-called "Fallout" game infinitely. Just DO NOT buy it FFS!! DO not be a sponsor to such bad game industry tendencies when ALL u loved/love got destroyed by the greedy wish to earn more, making far simpler and more primitve games in legendary hardcore franchise!!    … Expand

    Even by FPS standards this is a shame. Way better FPS shooters out there.

    The story must have been written by a 10 year old or on a heavily coma induced weekend. The characters are like cardboard cutouts of one another. The voice acting is horrible. The map is quite small. It is packed with the same copy paste buildings and cars all over the place. Ghouls spawning out of the ground like it is a DOOM game or something. I tried playing it and liking it but it is sooooooo boooring and mindlessly repetitive. The quests are pretty much all the same. I wish I made it to the end but this game is unbearable to play and after 20 hours I felt like vomiting.

    Bethesda should be ashamed and will never see another penny from me as long as I live. **** you bethesda you greedy corporate catering to 10 year old consolers pieces of amphibian **** I would like to have all of these brilliant developers working hard for 7 long years (on what I don't know) lined up so i can take a giant steaming **** on them.

Главное это атмосфера. Атмосфера это то что отличает великую игру от хорошей. Атмосфера это сверх тонкая материя, это душа произведения. Создают атмосферу фанаты своего дела, любящие то чем они занимаются, люди с широким кругозором, люди знающие жизнь не по наслышке, видящие фальш в любом произведении, в любом действии, люди знающие как надо, имеющие чувство вкуса и такт. Атмосфера в играх создается за счет реализма и тщательной проработке деталей. Каждая деталь должна продумываться с позиции здравого смысла, а для этого нужно иметь огромную фантазию и широкий кругозор. И если в ваших деталях создающих атмосферу затесалось несколько (не говорю о большом количестве) фальшивых, то все начинает сыпаться. Человек на подсознательном уровне понимает, что то тут не так, что его дурят и атмосфера улетучивается подобно утреннему сну. Атмосфера была в первых двух частях Fallout, но увы ни в третьей ни в четвертой ее нет.
    Bethesda не в состоянии передать дух оригинала, ребята хотят, но не могут, похоже не один человек в компании не способен понять в чем секрет духа Fallout, не способен объяснить это себе и остальной команде разработчиков. Они не понимают что дух строиться из мелких достоверных деталей. Мелкие достоверные детали это не детализированные убежища в Fallout 4 по которым бегают бездушные высокополигональные болванчики, не понатыканные где ни попадя скелеты в одежде призванные сделать нам "Атмосферненько" Детали это проработка вещей опираясь на здравый смысл, логику, но в тоже время без перегибов.
    В игре прошло 200 лет, двести мать их лет!!! Разработчики не в состоянии осознать эту цифру - это печалит и раздражает! За двести лет ландшафт может поменяться до неузнаваемости, песчаные бури, ветра заметают все на своем пути, потоки воды размывают, мусор гнеет, железо ржавеет и превращается в ржавый прах, скелеты жертв ядерного взрыва уходят глубоко под землю, растаскиваются животными, рассыпаются под действием солнца и воды. А что мы видим? Разруху как после не сильного торнадо! Свеженькие скелеты жертв ядерного взрыва! Отполированного робота на ходу! Это один из самых сильных ударов по атмосфере игры, сразу в лоб, с самого начала, чтоб не питал иллюзий. Прошло максимум 25 лет, но никак не двести. Взрывающиеся машины, это бесило еще со времен fallout 3, не должно остаться не одной покрашенной машины за 200 лет. Собака Горец Маклауд, почему не сделали собаку главным героем, ведь она такая крутая. ГГ таскающий миниган с вертибайдера без силовой брони - это смотрится ну просто нелепо, Арни из хищника рыдает при виде этого действа. Куча всякого не нужного и нужного хлама на полках, который можно собирать, его настолько много что глаз замыливается с самого начала, не понятно что надо, а что не очень. Собирательство превращается в рутину, от которой просто тошнит. У вещей нет стиля, нет индивидуальности, тоже и касается оружия. Ты находиш столько стволов, что можеш открыть 15 оружейных магазинов через 5 часов игры, оружие безликое, ты не ощущаеш его ценности, его желанности. Оружие и вещи обесценены. Пять домов считается городом, условности на каждом шагу. Персонажи в квестах ведут себя как идиоты больщую часть времени, ты не вериш им, многие поступки не логичны с позиции здравого смысла. Квесты высосаны из пальца, многие из них не логичны и не есттественны и нужны только ради наполнения игры контентом. Урезанные диалоги были введены под предлогом удобства, на самом деле причина проста.- Не хочет и не может разработчик придумывать интересные диалоги и истории - это вам не ребята ролевики с огромной фантазией из Black Isle и Troika Games, способные на ходу рождать захватывающие истории. Ролевую систему порезали до нельзя, теперь абсолютно без разници как ты изначально распределил параметры персонажа, зачем тебе это, ты ведь все равно играеш в шутер.- Смысл ролевой системы пропадает. Кривая расчелененка, головы противников взрываются уж слишком часто. Игра не учитывает калибр и силу оружия, стреляеш из пистолетика или из дробовика, голова разлетится в любом случае. Не покидает ощущение Ощущение пластмассовости мира, что это все декорации с неумными статистами.
    Видно что разработчики делали игру не потому что им было что сказать, а потому что им нужно было ее сделать, потому что надо было заработать денег. Это не произведение искусства, это не игра которая станет классикой, это разуляпистый, цветастый, с кучей всего ненужного, малодушный, скучный комерческий продукт. Который найдет свою аудиторию и несомненно будет очень успешным, а другого и не надо, в наш век погони за баблом другого ожидать не приходиться. Это касается не только Fallout 4, а большинства современных игр. Игры с душой сейчас выходят крайне редко и являются настоящим праздником, но это не про Fallout 4. Пора наконец-то похоронить надежду на возрождение легендарной серии и принять реальность таковой какая она есть. И вместо Fallout 4 перепройти    … Expand

В общем-то можно констатировать факт: в погоне за наполняемостью, масштабностью и детальностью разработчики совсем забыли о главном - об увлекательность. Это касается и сюжета, и миссий, и локаций - всего. Если вспоминать третий, то, помните? В нем хоть и локаций было мало, зато была уникальность. И заданий, и зданий и оружия. Здесь этого нет.

    This game has only partial keyboard support on PC. It's unplayable with a keyboard if you don't want to use WASD controls. While most keys can be re-bound, some common actions, such as those assigned to the E, R, and Tab keys, are permanently assigned to their respective keys. This is shocking and almost impossible to know about until you have already purchased and installed the game.This game has only partial keyboard support on PC.

    Additionally, a large portion of the keyboard is "reserved" and can't be bound to anyway. For example, the entire numpad is off-limits. Huh!?

    It boggles the mind that an AAA game released by a major publisher is lacking such a basic feature as a usable keybinding system in this day and age. I had to return my game, as it is unplayable for me. I'm left-handed and I can't play with WASD. This is a major oversight that is disappointing considering that every other FPS in my collection can properly implement keybinding, even low-budget pre-alpha games. Shame on lazy Bethesda.    … Expand

    The plot of the game is very boring and primitive. Dialogues vague and uninteresting. Construction camps and homes made disgusting - all objects are hanging in the air. No physics! Primitive console UI control. Idiotic NPC AI. A lot of bugs and glitches. Very low optimization. Fallout 4 - the failure of the year. Developers should be ashamed of this project.

    Thank you, Bethesda, you ruined so epic atmosphere of Fallout. Fallout 3 was good, Fallout New Vegas was Epic, Fallout 4 - piece of **** for minecrafters and rusters. Give this game to Obsidian, they do it much better.

    A wonderful game of the "Idiocracy" film, Disgusting game of Fallout series .
    Boring dialogues, poor plot, faceless NPC, unemotional voice .

    If you purchase this game in store, you still have to download the entire game from the internet. This means that if you have a pay as you go internet plan, it could be hundreds of dollars to download the game, as it is 24 gigabytes total. This is a complete showstopper for a lot of people, and I have to give this game a 0 rating, as it is unplayable.

    Seriously, please play the game, make a list of everything good and bad and construct a score out of it. Just as an example, if you compare the graphics of Fallout 4 with the graphics of any game released in the last two years, how can it have a higher score than 50% in that aspect?

    Or how can it have a high score in storytelling, atmosphere or anything close to it if you compare it to Witcher 3? Where is the relation between your scores?

    Please tell me HOW can you get scores around 90% for a game if anyone that is not blind AND deaf can see that it is very sub par in at least 3 categories? (input devices, graphics, stability... even if you disregard storytelling and whatever else is wrong with the game.)

    The strength of the previous Fallout games were the freedom of choice. This was achieved with a huge range of dialogue options, the Karma system with Perks that suited your style of play, and things like being able to kill any NPC except 2-3 essential ones if you wanted to, without the game interfering.

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

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

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

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

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

What is the essence of Fallout    A lot has been said about this game in the past week. Here is the review of old-school Fallout fan, based on completing it and spending 80+ hours trying to find any sign of Fallout in this game.

    BETRAYAL
    I've been waiting for you for 7 years. I pre-ordered you. I upgraded my PC. I even took a vacation. And you betrayed me. You are not a Fallout game.
    What is the essence of Fallout world? What makes us dive into it again and again? What makes gamers play 1998 game in 2015?

    I think the answer is - Wasteland atmosphere and freedom of choice.
    Atmosphere of destroyed by war and slowly degrading society, where word "moral" is long forgotten and gun is the law. Atmosphere of despair where only drugs can give you a brief relief from severe reality, if you are lucky enough to get them. Atmosphere of living, dynamic post-nuclear world. And the freedom of choice when every word, every action impacts the world. And of course countless variants of player customization via level progression. That makes these games special.
    Fallout 1,2, NV meet these criteria, Fallout 3 partially. But not this abomination.
    Wasteland feels like Wasteland no more. First of all because of new blurred cartoon-like graphics. Everything looks new, bright and polished, as if some invisible stealth cleaning guy has been wiping and waxing every damn brick in Boston for 200 years. And this polished Boston is filled up with targets. I can't call them "enemies" - they have no character, no history, no motivation, no ai; their only purpose is to die from your bullet.
    I wonder how much does Todd Howard hate Fallout so he cut all RPG from it? This game is not an RPG. You cannot choose you role, it's been predefined for you. You cannot "do whatever you want ©", you can't even shoot whatever you want now. But you can choose whatever face, haircut or outfit you want, isn't that great?

    Linear plot is death penalty to an RPG game (they call it so, not me) . And here Bethesda beats all records.
    Each dialog has 4 options, but ALL lead to one (1) result. No matter what you say, it ends the same way - boring. This word can describe the whole thing. Boring. But there were pleasant surprises, couple of quests made impression of Alt-Tabbing to Fallout 3. Then idea came to my mind. I thought of ninja-designer, who sneaked into Bethesda office at night and wrote these quests, risking his life and freedom. Thank you, nameless hero.    … Expand

    I guess its a decent game since it seems to remind people of far cry and borderlands and people spoke highly of those games. However as a Fallout game it is Inferior in most ways compared to the previous games in the series due to the removal of just about anything that made it an rpg - now its just an open world shooter and while it's still a fun shooter game it's not the fallout I was expecting.

(Hooray, for the modders...Boo for Bethesda for using you as a resource for free labor).

    In the wake of The Witcher 3 and yes, even GTA V this can't be the "masterpiece' that Bethesda wanted to gift the gaming world. The fact that the major review sites can even give it such high scores has permanently damaged my opinion of their objectivity and increased my possibly paranoid belief in a behind the scenes payola scheme.

Customization on your weapons is a token gesture and a half hearted one at that. There is no love to the environment as in previous games and the dark humor carefully crafted into the world previously is also strangely absent. Hardly any optimization for the PC. This was very clearly created for the consoles and then dumped on a PC market. The settlement gimmick... Oh my god the settlements... when did fallout become the **** sims? I could go on for hours. This is by far the worst fallout entrance in the series and yes that includes tactics.

    The controls are a nightmare to use, it's obviously badly ported from console. A PC game with **** mouse controls? Yeah they actually screwed that up too. Want to use the mouse wheel on some menus? Nope!

    The story is way too streamlined, few choices, with mostly no consequences.
    Terribly written story.

    Performance: Never stable 60 FPS, some times as low as 10. Even in monster computers the performance sinks.

    This lump of crap isn't worthy of the Fallout name.    … Expand

    This is the disappointment of the year
    They cut off all rpg elements, freedom of choice, dialogs, decisions.. All new that they brought is sims/minecraft elements.
    This is shooter with tweaks like levels and building. This is not fallout, this is not rpg, this is not even decent game. Boring story (mix of fallout 3 and RAGE), repetitive quests

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was gonna write a list about the negatives of this game but you can just read the comments from other people. Bethesda said "it's not meant to be the most stunning RPG ever" however they ended up making the most crappy game because they didn't even tried at the first place. The only reason this game sold the copies was because of the marketing and the fact that is was a fallout series. Had it been not, none would have played this garbage. And for the people expecting modders to fix it, i hope they(modders) don't even bother with this trash game. The only thing Bethesda could do worse, would be an in-game store to buy fuse cores to use the power armor.

    And one last thing "We want this massive interactive world, where you can talk to people, choose your own path and everything in the world has meaning and is an actual object.". Just because you have 2 different endings which u choose based one line selection (at the very end) doesn't mean the world is interactive.    … Expand

Comparing Fallout 3 or NV is impossible becouse they are totally different games at this point, in fact they get rid of some of their best mechanics that some might argue that they were not up to their taste (like karma, yeah we got no karma now, most of the story flagged npc cant' be killed and we got no mechanic to compensate) I'm a player that play the game for a sense of immersion, if i wanted a shooter or an hack and slash there are way better games, most of fallout players love the lore, and not a rushed beginning, of like 5 minutes, we were supposed to see a glimpse of world before the war, but the begin was just too rushed to make people grab pipe guns and pew pew from the start. Tradeskill conversation (becouse yeah, the new voiced dialogue with absolutely no understanding of what the dude or the chick will say is such a step forward) are removed, we got a perk style now similiar like skyrim, and we miss a lot of those small things that make a game worth it, most ignore them, but playing new vegas and hearing the comment of the old man about my start allocation was cute almost as the challange of building an high educated character with low combat skill just to have charisma and tradeskill options, "To see" where the game would react to the character.

The game has completely lost it's immersion and the world feels cold and empty, it is impossible to forget you are playing a game. The worlds of Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim felt like they were alive, the characters had wants and needs, they had worries, they had motives, I cared about their stories and was able to base my further decisions in the game on those stories and those lives that felt like they really were being affected. The characters in Fallout 4 are a joke, they never feel authentic, though that may be due to the fact that Bethesda took away ALL decision making in this game. There is no choice in dialogue, just different ways of saying the same thing, seriously, your responses do not change anything, at all, ever. There is no weapon repair, there is no skills, SPECIAL doesn't matter, the closest RPG element is the fact that you level up and get "perks" (just stat increases, not really perks). You, of course, cannot play a "role" as there is no decision making or different between your character and everyone else for the most part., you cannot role play in this game. I could go on and on, but I've been clear, this is not Fallout as you would expect a sequel, this is an open world shooter that takes place in the Fallout world, but this game should not be Fallout 4.… Expand

The entire wasteland is made up of almost nothing but generic raiders who's sole purpose in life is to raid these struggling settlements on the other side of the map rather than just scavenge through local buildings for easily available loot.. The weapons modding and settlement building are cool I guess, but I don't really understand how a weapons and armor made from scrap found around the wasteland can have unlimited durability yet a military grade suite of armor needs to constantly be repaired. They took out factions, speech checks, persuasion, armor and weapons durability, karma, and the ability to choose several different endings. I can see now why Bethesda didn't want any leaked footage getting out before launch day, people would have cancelled their pre-orders and never bought the game.… Expand

    It doesn't deserve a cent of your money. And there are a lot of OTHER games that do, so why not make a GOOD choice instead?

    You wonder why?
    Well then, get some popcorn and relax, here it comes!

    Fallout 4 is a mediocre, lame, uninspired experience. It's something you will regret playing, it's something that will loose your interest like a goldfish, and it's something you just wish was done better. It's an experience that leaves you with a bitter shovelware aftertaste.

    Every single core aspect of this game feels underdone, rushed and primitive. From rudimentary RPG elements and artless voice acting, to mediocre graphics and terrible, TERRIBLE optimization.

    Ever wondered what an RPG would look like if stripped of most RPG elements? If you guessed "sh*t", then you're pretty close to getting the core idea behind Fallout 4. Progression is absolutely trashed, with butchered skills and meaningless SPECIAL the experience is bland and doesn't differ much from play-through to play-through. It simply doesn't matter - no matter what you do, every time you will end up with the same bloody character. Forget being specialized in a weapon class. Forget deep character customization, there's none of that here.

    Game mechanics are so ironed, so simplified and so pre-digested that it makes you wonder whether Bethesda treats you like a brain amputee or the game was in fact designed for baby seals.

    Writing is a special subject with this one as it hits all the records of triviality and stupidity, even by the very low standards of Bethesda. Fallout 4 is easily the dumbest and the blandest story from Bethesda so far. And perhabs the biggest issue here is cold, under-thought world with NO depth to it. All of the characters are absolutely superficial, they don't have anything to them - not even the main ones!

    It feels like you wander across a ghost town with uncanny robots all over you, nobody of them ever feels like a real human.

    For instance, NOBODY in this game ever WANTS anything. Nobody ever expresses any wish for anything. Nobody ever makes any plans whatsoever. They are quite literally like goldfish with no own will, they only exist as a means to your quest, and distinguish themselves little from the furniture or the scenery.

    Only the main characters have some simple personal traits, but even they function without any kind of motive or will. This makes them feel like brainwashed cultists who's sole reasoning seems to be "because cthulhu commands so". All characters act according to the ideologies of their faction(there are only 3), with no personal incentive or interest. All other non faction npcs and raiders don't have a will and a point to their lives.

    "Good writing."

    The Institute makes androids just because why not. The Brotherhood hates androids just because "it's technology". You will never even remember the characters once you're done with the game. They are meaningless, and they will be gone.

    The Institute itself is a freaking joke. It's a major plot device and perhaps the biggest letdown in the story. It's a token of how old, rusty and unimaginative the writers of Bethesda have become.

    Throughout the game's exposition you're immensely hyped to finally meet the institute.
    And when you do finally get there, what f*cking mysteries do you discover?

    They make androids. That's it.

    You know they've been doing androids SINCE FALLOUT 3! This isn't even spoilers cause there's nothing to spoil. They don't make nothing else. No awesome super-weapons, no mind-boggling experiments, NOTHING.

    And what about he story itself? Guess what's it about. If you said it's about searching your dad, you're almost right. It's about searching your son.

    Player choices, a token of the Fallout series, are a joke. There is either A or B, often you aren't given even that, and frequently both A and B result in the same thing.

    The dialogue is shrunk, so are your choices as well. It's either "Tell me more", "Yes", "No" or "Goodbye". Genius. Do you remember dialogues from the previous games?

    Voiced protagonist my *ss. And the voice acting is mostly mediocre, with only small sparks of good acting.

    Bethesda has done nothing to improve on the game and the genre, there is no innovation and even the basic mechanics are just poor and limited. The core pillars of a fallout experience - progression and writing - are a f*cking shame in this game, cut, butchered mess with no proper concept.

In place of those qualities they have left an empty, Fallout shaped shell.

    The writing is horrible and riddled with cliches and tropes. There is basically no reason to even pretend that this is an RPG anymore rather than merely an open-world shooter. The narrative is completely linear and accepts very little input from the player. The mechanics, while enjoyable as merely an action game, have no relation to the character-building depth that is supposed to be associated with RPGs, especially considering that your character is a blank slate.

    The graphics are not on par with what is technologically feasible at this time. It is one of the worst looking games to come out this year.

    All in all, Bethesda has succeeded in making a game that is nearly perfect in its mediocrity. They have shown themselves to be careless and faithless stewards of the Fallout franchise and have shown a complete lack of respect for its fans. At this point, Fallout has been reduced to the creative level of Call of Duty and can be expected to come out every once in a while as barely improved iterations of the same mediocre formula, just because people will buy it and not for the love of game development or the IP itself.    … Expand

The big surprise during the game was so insulting I went on a murderous rampage which only served to illustrate how little the players actions actually drive anything since no one in the Institute seemed to care that I had just blown their leader's head off with a Gauss Rifle.

    Any and all RPG elements have been stripped away leaving a bare bones PERK chart that does not allow for any kind of character customization beyond what kind of pants are you going to wear.

    Side quests are the same rehash of shot all the mutants and raiders, find some random piece of fluff and pound sand.

    And while this is easily the nicest looking Fallout game, with excellent use of colour and weather effects, the character models can't seem to work their mouths properly.

    It's hard to believe this repetitive, shooter mess has come from Bethesda, the same company that brought us Morrowind's completely player driven experience and seemingly endless night sky. Bethesda seems to have made Fallout 4 as streamlined as possible and in so doing has alienated the Fallout audience.

    "Disappointing" sums up Fallout 4, with the only worth while addition being a deep and involved crafting system. I rather like crafting systems especially in post-apocalyptic settings. But the crafting and base building of Fallout 4 belong in a better game, plain and simple.

    Fallout 4 is too simple to appeal to any Role-Playing game enthusiast, it's combat is too clumsy and awkward to appeal to shooting fans and the story is too **** to appeal to anyone!    … Expand

    EVERYTHING has been simplified. They call this an RPG? this is a first person shooter with RPG elements. The perk chart is such a failed excuse at character progression it isn't even funny. i mean, seriously. If this is considered an RPG then I guess call of duty is too, since that game has perks in it. No skills, no important dialogue choices, no karma system. The only thing this game actually improves upon from it's predecessors is gunplay. Shooting feels great, but that's all that feels great in this game. Like this game was built around it. Stealth has gone out this window, why be sneaky when you can go in with power armor and a minigun(that u get 5 minutes into the game), and rape face? The aforementioned perk chart means this game has NO replayability. After the first playthrough I was bored, the game lacked so much depth and content that I felt like I had already done everything. The only thing different I did in my second playthrough was the difficulty setting. Even on Very Hard/survival, All I need to do is save up enough caps and raise the charisma perks enough where i can just buy a bunch of fusion cores and play the whole game in power armor, which makes everything a breeze. Fps is capped at 30/60, and forget about uncapping it. going over 80/90fps severely breaks the game. Overall the game just looks and runs like **** compared to skyrim modded(my framerate sometimes drops to low 20's when in the city, and I have a gtx 970 and a fx-8370, running 1080p without godrays), jetpack breaks the game, followers are useless, AI sucks, bugs galore, gimmicky settlement building, 8 seconds to quick switch weapons, horrible voice acting, bland predictable and uninteresting story, lots of hype around the "10,000 different names are said in the game" thing but the only thing that says names is that cocksworth robot, In an apocolyptic wasteland Loot(especially ammo) is everywhere, follower disposition is annoying and limiting, power armor runs on fusion cores even though the lore is that power armor fusion cores last like 10,000 years, T-60 is nowhere in the lore, overpowered legendary weapons/armor, instantly accepted into the brotherhood as a knight after paladin danse gives you his most prized possession shortly after meeting you, small map(no, the buildings(which by the way every single one has at the most 3 floors total since you can take an elevator all the way to the top/bottom)do not make up for it), The list just goes on and on and on and on... and on... and on...

    Point is game sucks compared to the previous fallout games. We'll see what updates/DLC is like but I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Esto no es Fallout. Todo elemento RPG característico de la franquicia fue eliminado por Bethesda y el resultado es un juego que es más un Far Cry que un Fallout. Creo que el juego en sí no es malo, pero lo que hizo Bethesda en este título es el paso equivocado a seguir. Por favor Obsidian, arregla lo que hicieron estos tipos que no tienen idea sobre hacer un RPG.

    This game is a pretty ocean 1 inch deep. Its a shame that people think that this is a RPG.
    Only thing worth mentioning is the crafting system.

    The so called "professional" critics give this game 95 points because they are on Bethesda's payroll.

Truly a cutthroat blockbuster video game. A relic wrapped in plastic. And not to mention it signifies the end of an incredible era of complex and immersive RPG's.

    It doesn't really even belong in the same category or genre as the rest of the franchise, as it is not an RPG. If I had wanted some sort of skill based open world FPS, this would have delighted me endlessly. It is one of the best open world FPS's of all time. But unfortunately, the reason fallout is a cultural phenomenon has nothing to do with graphics or shooting, or any of that other stuff that we get from every other console and pc game in the world.

    We care about fallout because of the endlessly satisfying, deeply funny, complex, often enlightening and utterly human CONTENT and story that the world of fallout offered. It was one of the oldest stories ever told, and told with such cleverness and wit! It is IMMERSION we are striving for. Realism, mythology and fantasy colliding in morally complex, ambiguous and thoughtful ways.

    Deep down, this is what matters. This is why Fallout is what it is today, and also why those in charge of making Fallout 4 were able to trick an insanely real, and awesome, core fan base out of their series by generalizing every aspect of complexity that the other games in the series had to offer (by the boatload). Not being an extreme gamer, I now have to research other RPG's to death and hopefully find another company with a better understanding of their own video games. I loved Morrowind, Fallout 3, and everything in between. But I always assumed they would fix the little issues while making the foundation of the game's platform as an RPG stronger. Unfortunately, it is becoming far too obvious that each subsequent release (besides a few, I loved NV) becomes less interesting, immersive, unique, and complex than the previous installation. Instead of building their worlds thicker, they stripped them down. I wonder, do they even see their games the way that we do? Do they love their games like we love them? The only logical conclusion is: no, of course they don't. Sure some of the smaller fish that actually do the work must have known what a train wreck the game had become. But the company clearly has grown too large, and no longer has an interest in the series, but rather now simply has an interest in creating wealth just like any other faceless corporation.

    Welcome to the era of billion dollar video gaming. Just like blockbuster films - you cannot expect integrity or quality from these monolithic companies anymore. They are merely working to build an engine that suits everyones needs. They created an easy, soft, and nonaggressive video game experience. Yet, it is honestly not worth even getting frustrated over. We have all been watching this happen for a while now. Everything that rises must converge, eh? So, crying out, we quiet down. There is nothing to critique with the interest in saving future series installations in mind. Because, hey, they won! The loads of money that they have already made is nearly historic. So we are left with our memories and that is fine. We just have to wait for the next young company to come along. Ambitious and alive, ready to create the new era of character based immersion gaming.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very disappointing, especially if you play on PC, game is designed and significantly hurt by alot of design decisions to cater to a console crowed, resulting in a significantly dumbed down game

    expect to hear the phrase "I normally don't like RPGs, but I really like this one", as it is a FPS (Boaderlands is a close comparison) with weak RPG elements, almost all choice and story striped out to cram in more go to radiant location kill everyone get radiant item, repeat

    and as is common with Large AAA games expect the ending to be very unpolished and half arsed (suffice to say all the paths to the end are more or less copy and past, and the path you take is akin to pressing one of three buttons), the further you go expect conversations to end half way through, bosses to spawn where they are not supposed to, and lots of sitting (or shooting) for X amount of time until the story wants to progress

    your seance of agency is pretty much zero

    and three months after release there has been one minor patch, leaving many bugs (including game backbreaking ones such removing from the game world your companions or Quest NPCs, Ending Quest Conversation Prematurely, or a peak you get early on thats supposed to give 20% increase to headshoot chance...gives 2000% pretty much eliminating any difficulty, only way to get rid of is to restart or use command codes)    … Expand

Yes the guns are boring, yes the quests are boring, yes the main quest line is a generic cut and paste job, yes the dialogue wheel is a terrible idea that spoils the game, and no you aren't crazy you should feel ripped off. I waited years for this game. Fallout 3 alone I must have logged nearly 750 hours if not more. I was stuck on that game for literally 2 years enjoying every moment of it. I bought it for every platform I owned over the years. Fallout: NV was nearly the same. But, fallout 4 I put 150 hour (at least 20 of which I'm sure was me texting/being afk), and just moved on to other games. It was boring, tedious, survival mode is just bullet sponge mode, and the rpg elements have been so stripped down so a smart lemur could figure it out.

    I honestly believe that Bethesda was much more worried about having Fallout sell in mass quantities, which is perfectly fine, but to do this instead of making a great game they made the game play "streamlined." With dialogue that was easier to choice, gun play that fells more like battlefield or cod, and most of all releasing it before the bomb cost became too much. The latter is most apparent not by the insane amount of glitches (which is almost Bethesda's trademark), and more to do with poor animations, a weak variety of location, guns, quest types, etc..., characters you don't care about, and writing that is cringe worthy.

    In short If you haven't bought it wait for the game of the year to drop to 20 bucks then buy it. If you already have bought it sorry for your lose of $60 I feel your pain.

    On a different note I would like to get on my soapbox for the next few sentences. Nearly 90% of reviews I see positive and negative alike say something to the effect of "the modded community will fix [fill in thing that Bethesda should have fix or included before release]." My reason for bring this up is to ask is it right of us to expect unpaid people to fix a shoddy game made by studio that made millions in sales of a product that personally I feel is not really complete or up to par. I believe that it is not fair to except modders to fix salaried developers short comings. Unfortunately Bethesda doesn't care they their made money and the modding community will fix the garbage textures, etc.. because they care, its their hobby, or they are passionate about fixing issues they see in the game. But, personally I do not feel comfortable with that and you should take a second to question if you are too.    … Expand

    The focus on crafting and building settlements is even a bigger fart. You can build tons of settlements navigating through a terrible interface. But then, there's no effect on the story or the wasteland. Once again: ridiculous at best, brain damaging at worst.

    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]
