    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

    It is a good game. To play if you love the fallout nuclear and apocalyptic scenario. The gameplay is funny but missions are repetitive and the lore is not good as the one from Fallout 3 or Fallout new Vegas. Great character creations mechanic, bad crafting.

    The lore-breaking T60 armor, the watered-down speech wheel, and dialogue as a whole along with the gun models that break basic rules of physics certainly don't help either. The graphics are horrible as to be expected from Bethesda. The settlement mechanic while not perfect, was a nice breath of fresh air however and the Far Harbor DLC was quite well done all things considered.

It is one of my favourite series. I didn't particularly like Fallout 3 AKA Oblivion with guns, but i enjoyed it for what it was. New Vegas was a vast improvement, technical issues aside. Still, Bethesda seems to lack basic understanding of what made the Fallout series great, and they seem to want to turn it into a Farcry-wannabe instead of a proper RPG.

    Fallout 4 is not a bad game, but it is not a great game either. It is first and foremost a Farcry4 type shooter, with more dialogue and minecraft elements. That's about it.

    My problem with Fallout 4 is that it feels empty, tedious, boring, lifeless. It has no soul, it is just a "product", not a work of art. Sure, shooting mechanics were improved, looting is faster etc, but those are only minor improvements and don't make up for the loss of unique settlements/npcs/questlines. Most of the quests are randomized, most NPCs are just randomized, game is a repetitive grind. It is perhaps the only Fallout series game that i struggled finding the motivation to keep playing, i had to actually convince myself to play it, to try and have fun with it.

    There are many things that grind the game's pace to a halt. The loot system is bad overall. Junk are more important than proper equipment now, since your craftable mods are better than whatever you find or buy. You also need tons of junk to improve your settlements (the map has few prebuild settlements, you have to create most of them yourself). So wherever you go, you just have to loot everything, and there is only so much space in your inventory... Having to make multiple trips back and forth to base is not uncommon, to transfer all the loot. This gets boring fast. Sure, you may argue that you can choose not to get all the junk, but that means that by the time you need to craft a mod, repair armor, or just improve your settlement, you won't have everything at hand.

    The story was ok-ish, for a Bethesda game. You don't play Bethesda games for the story after all, but for the sandbox. But it just doesn't offer you much of an incentive to keep grinding. You never feel like you need to get to the end to find out about the lore, you just don't care, it is something that just exists.

    All in all, it is a by the book Bethesda product. It has no ambition, and no character. You can have fun with it, assuming you are not bored to death with Bethesda's recipe already. You aren't missing anything if you never touch it, no important lore or really good gameplay. You can skip it. Witcher 3, this is not.    … Expand

    Ok, so it has a dog, cool facegen, improved battle dynamics and fully voiced dialogs.
    Does it make it immersive or, like, cinematic, at least?
    Hell no. The visuals, animation, story, voice acting is nowhere near, not even close. The intro, while not perfect, at least TRIES, it really felt good for about ten minutes. But it's all over once you're on the surface again. Empty-stupid-wasteland, and not the kind you want to explore, either, because there's hardly a few decent stories to scrap together once you start playing.
    The main storyline is supposed to get me engaged, but it totally fails. Ok, who the hell wants a story in sandbox rpg, point taken, but, but, i swear by gods, GTA 5 feels more of an RPG than THIS game, I am dead serious here.

    I believe younger audience might find this game enjoyable, might seem fun if you drink enough beer while you play, too. But I just don't think I am at lux to waste my time at this.    … Expand

    Pros
    -graphics: hit and miss quality, but saved by the fantastic lighting.
    -perks: the loss of skills is unpopular, but they had their own set of problems, which now are mostly fixed. You can grab powerful, game-changing perks at level 2, but they remain balanced because the higher perk ranks have level requirements. This allows you to create characters that feel unique even early on.    Pros

    -VATS combat: it enjoyed a makeover and is much more useful now. Lots of perk support.

    Cons

    -optimization: given the unspectacular graphical fidelity, the performance is generally too low. There are extreme slowdowns in certain areas where you wouldn't expect it.

    -controls: by default the mouse sensitivity is considerably higher when moving the mouse horizontally than vertically. This however can be fixed by tweaking an ini file. Incredibly low ADS sensitivity, with no option to customize it. No ADS toggle. Cannot bind functions to the numerical keypad. Hotkeys are remappable but retain the original mapping in certain cases.

    -UI: very obviously designed with a controller in mind. When using a mouse, the UI is cumbersome and inconsistent. Mousewheel can scroll through items in some screens, but not others (ie. works when looting items, but not in the pipboy inventory). Favorites bar uses WASD hotkeys for navigation but doesn't pause the game, meaning you can't flee from NPCs whilst fumbling for a mine or some other favorited item. Even rotating items during loading screens is limited with the mouse, as the invisible cursor quickly hits the edge of the screen and the rotation stops even though you're still moving the mouse.

    -dialogue: the voiced protagonist is weakly implemented. Dialogue choices are too terse and often do a poor job at hinting what the PC is going to say, leaving the player feeling even more disconnected from his character. Some lines are reproducibly cut-off or spoken with no lip-sync.

    IMO, this is the worst game BGS have ever released. It is extremely rough around the edges, and does not have the charm of their previous titles; instead, it is a mash-up of ideas taken from other popular games rather than a coherent design. If I had to sum up the game with one word, it would be mediocre.

    If you're a fan of Fallout but have not yet purchased the game for some reason, go ahead and do so on Steam, but be prepared to refund it soon after.    … Expand

Dialogues doesn't branch and the you got a big, open world filled with... nothing. Just randomly placed content for you to toy around with.

    Bethesda has stripped down the game elements their core fans want, those being dynamic, player-driven stories, awesome quests, beautiful game worlds, and character development/progression. All of these systems were put on the back burner for things like crafting and settlement management.

    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]
