NOR does it have the intended effect, if you've been in that conversation and picked .. ya know what, this game has already been reviewed a million times so instead of an objective review I'll just be honest.
    This game isnt fallout. The social aspects dont matter at all, the companions are fluff and garbage, for the most part, the enemies look great, shoot great but are craptastic ~ too easy or too hard, cant make up its mind.

    Music is ripped from older games, sound effects belong in call of duty. Visuals are nice, but now its no longer an RPG with half a$$ed action elements, its action with half a$$ed RPG elements.
    The game doesnt let you play it and when you get hyped for any.. ANY part of it, you get shat on. The settlement building is useless, they wont defend themselves, and whether you actively try to 'break' the game by overgrowing cash crops... crisscrossing the wasteland with your unkillable transports to act as random infantry backups.. or just want extra places to store your gear, it makes it insanely easy. At least on the upper half of the map. You FINALLY get some decent difficulty once you get downtown, but by then you've spent SO much time up north and doing sidequests that it honestly makes the story pretty stupid. You jumped out of your cryochamber in the future to find your son but you got sidetracked for days.. WEEKS at a time doing go-fer fetch-me-everything-AND-KILL-THOSE-GUYS quests for people not worth your time.
    Even if you get over the fact that settlements dont dfend themselves, and you have all the DLC.. you'll find the settlement size limit to be pretty obnoxious, and the game breaking/ IMMERSION breaking bugs are EVERYDANGITWHERE.    … Expand

    I will try and be objective here:

    The gameplay and overall atmosphere is great, some characters and quests are really interesting and some locations are just jawdropping. However there are a lot of flaws in the game itself: places often feel empty, locations look interesting but often don't hold anything of relevance for the story or the world they inhabit.

    However there are a lot of flaws in the game itself: places often feel empty, locations look interesting but often don't hold anything of relevance for the story or the world they inhabit. Power armor introduction feels a bit rubbish and regardless of your playstyle you are forced into encounters were violence are shooting is mandatory.

    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.

    Examples:

    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.

    Long loading screens, we are talking minutes not seconds. I have an SSD and it still can randomly take more than 3 or 4 minutes to load an area.

    Brown face glitch.

    Quest glitches which prevented them from finishing.

    Sudden deaths.

    Needless to say this is the main reason why the game scores so low.    … Expand

    Extremely boring, with a world that feels lifeless other than synths and automatron encounters. Infinite resources drag the game down, and nothing feels special or unique. Especially the weapons and armor.

    It has been 12 days since release. But I do not see any movement to rectify the game. It did not work at all of the patch. Thousands of bugs. Every time playing I think I have to start all over again. AutoSave is done badly and overwrite themselves. I again unplayable bug, and all 5 autosave made in the interval of 1 minute.
    And normal save made 6 hours ago.

You will find yourself wishing it didn't so you could actually do some skill combat that requires moving around fast and not just press E or click. It seems like most side quests when in fallout 3 had meaning and could actually change the enviroment you lived in. Also all the weapons in this game are a few good ones that actually work and the rest can look awesome but are crap and unusable in combat. I wish they would of added some sort of delivery system for your power armour since that would make it more bearable instead you need to walk all the way to where you left it and pick it up and walk all the way back adding pointless things to do to waste time and make your think because your spent this long playing a game you must of liked it.… Expand

    The characters have no feeling, the lines are bland, they are forgettable. The graphics aren't much of an upgrade but tax your hardware like no tomorrow. The RPG elements are mostly gone.

    Pip-boy from smartphone to PC also requires you to learn the rocket science of opening ports instead of a more simple online synchronization approach.
    The building system is where the game shines but it ends right there.
    I would only recommend buying this game if you want Sims + Fallout and nothing more.

Despite the utterly lackluster graphics, terrible lipsyncing, crippling glitches, and very little new content over previous titles in the series, I did buy this game, and lucky me, I spent 3 hours "playing" it trying to get it working right on my top-of-the-line rig I just built and now am ineligible for a refund.

    Bethesda should be ashamed of themselves, for real. This game is antiquated, using assets from other games, animations from Skyrim, and its bugginess through and through is a testament of how much they need to scrap everything they're working with and start over from scratch. I'm reviewing the PC version, but the consoles are even worse - both locked at 30 FPS with frequent dips into the teens, or worse, seconds-long hang ups and load times that seem to go on forever. At least I'm getting 60+ FPS at all times on 1440p, maxed out, with "minimal" load times.

    Since I'm stuck with this game now, I did try to play it further, and holy crap, what a weird experience. The characters have zero, well, character! The voice acting is full of pizazz, and the NPCs just stand there, lifeless by comparison, as their game models barely try to approximate facial expressions, let alone matching the words with their mouths. This game makes L.A. Noire's face tech look like it's from the **** future. This game makes Witcher 3's dialogue cutscenes look better than real life. And speaking of dialogue, I hope you don't like knowing exactly what you're going to say, as Bethesda has dumbed down another critical RPG feature and replaced it with vague choices that DO NOT correspond to what your character will say.

    All in all, from the game's combat, to its busywork, to the graphics and mechanics, Fallout 4 is a COLOSSAL disappointment. If you feel you must play this game, pirate it, because Bethesda and its full staff of developers do not deserve to be rewarded for this **** The media is eating this up just like they did with Skyrim, and dare I say it, this game is even more overhyped. Don't be tricked. Forget about this game.    … Expand

    Take Fallout 3, minimally improve the graphics, dumb down the RPG elements even more, create a wonky dialogue system, add in some kind of MMO resource collecting BS system and otherwise keep everything exactly the same. Then shove it out the door in an unfinished state.

    That is Fallout 4. And it is boring as heck. Avoid this drive at all costs.

    Only PROS: It actually runs on day-one, unlike other games (*cough* Batman: Arkham Knight *cough*)

    Here are the MAIN problems briefly:

    -Graphics out of a 2000's game. Sometimes they are so badly done they look cartoonish, like Telltale's Walking Dead/Wolf Among Us.
    -Nice that everything is voiced, however you are limited to 4 answers per dialogue including the classic (Witty, Kind, Evil, No ty) - How innovative!
    -You basically get the Power Armor 15 minutes into the game, taking any challenge out of it.
    -No real Survival theme. More like a First Person Shooter
    -The towns are tiny. Even the supposingly "Jewel" of the game, the big, main settlement - Diamond City, is as small as Dawnstar in Skyrim...and feels like its been rushed - like a copy-paste of megaton from Fallout 3.
    -Still use the same weird "hacking" of computer terminals in which you have to guess 4-5 times and then wait to try again.
    -Skill not high enough? Forget trying. Unlike Skyrim in which you could ATTEMPT to break a Master lock (even with level 1 lockpicking), in Fallout 4 you simply are locked from doing so if you don't have the appropriate perk unlocked.

    -Dialogues are plain childish - no imagination or creative thinking behind them.
    -Story is boring and uninteresting. Nothing that makes me want to investigate and find out what is going on (bad graphics add to that).
    -On dialogues, now you can fully be in 3rd person and look around. However, the camera goes nuts and shows blank walls, or it fully zooms on NPC's hair, etc.

    -Holstered weapons dissapear - nothing at your sides.
    -Enemies get stuck, jump around, run in T-pose. Quest NPCs bug and roam to places unknown, making quests unable to complete.

    -No RPG soul in it. More like an FPS like CoD.
    -Landscapes are simply bad. Nothing breath-taking like Skyrim - hell, I could just sit in front of a river and watch the scenery in Skyrim!
    -Wax museum character models - although character creation looks dope, the poor graphic quality and the same base, copy-pasted face for NPCs ruins it all.
    ALSO: Bethesda didn't even bother changing the hand meshes. Play Male or Female character, your hands use the same (male) model. I played 10 minutes on my female character accidentally this morning, and I realized it when I went 3rd person that I play a female. The hands textures are the same FOR CHRIST SAKE.

    -You need three hands to play (REALLY? WASD, MOUSE, AND ARROWS? SERIOUSLY BETHESDA?)
    -Keyboard keys are hardcoded, for example you can't switch the F-key back to 1st/3rd person like it was in Skyrim - forcing you to use "V"

    More, but it's adding to the inevitable: Let's hope that the modding community can fix this mess.    … 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]
