    This is honestly exactly what I've wanted and expected from Fallout 4.

I actually enjoy the toned down karma system--your actions and choices are now mostly affecting the opinions of your companions, rather than some larger and more simplistic "good or evil" type of deal. Things like how you modify your weapons or what weapons you choose to make affect your affinity with companions--that is really subtle and really awesome. Far more realistic, in my opinion.

    Likewise, I enjoy the addition of the Mass Effect style conversation wheel. It's always pretty clear to me whether I'm being snarky or dutiful or whatever else. Choices could affect the world more, but it's not really a big deal.

    The settlement building is awesome. It sort of takes what was started in Skyrim's Heartstone DLC and makes it much much richer and more complex. That was my favorite part of Skyrim and I'm sure building homes and settlements will be my favorite part of FO4.

    Gameplay is as you should expect it to be. It's not quite an FPS and it's not quite an RPG, but straddles the median well. The soundtrack is absolutely stunning. The crafting is incredibly deep. And the world is beautiful. I really do feel like I'm scavenging in a wasteland to get my settlement ready, and that's absolutely amazing to me.

    In my opinion, the game built and deepened what was established in FO3 and cultivated/perfected in Skyrim.    … Expand

The new weather mechanics are amazing and add a ton of atmosphere to the game. The changes to character leveling and perks while not explained sufficiently are overall a well needed adjustment. The voice acting and characters are well thought out and just fit nicely. Now for the bad, Some annoying glitches to do with triggering the drawing of graphics when entering new areas. These are few and far between and will likely be resolved in an update so I am not removing a point for it. The change to dialog is also not necessarily an improvement over the old system and has led to some bugs related to subtitles not updating during the conversation which can impact those who are hard of hearings experience with the game. Again though I expect this to be resolved in a future update so I'm not too worried about it but feel people should be made aware.

    Overall: Well worth the price of admission and loving every minute of it.    … Expand

    They fixed the not fun things in fallout such as weapon degradation, reputation, and having to click on loot containers. Gun play is much improved, VATS is improved. Story is good, graphics are good. If you liked FO3, you should like this one.

    The world, exploration, crafting, atmosphere, and story of Fallout 4 are all key parts of this hugely successful sandbox role-playing game. Great new reasons to obsessively gather and hoard relics of happier times, strong companions, and sympathetic villains driving tough decisions make it an adventure I’ll definitely replay and revisit

    Fallout 3 was the best game I ever played and spoiled me for all other games. Fallout 4 is even better! Open environment is the only way to go. You get freedom to play how you want. Any game that forces you to go places and have no choices is not for me. You will never get stuck in Fallout 4 and you can play it again and again and never have it be the same. It is vast. It is damn near perfect.

This game goes along Bethesda's RPG tradition by letting you make the story.
    There is nothing quite like going through a world crafted with some of the wildest atmosphere in any game, and being able to do as you wish. If I wanted to go mad crazy and kill everyone in every town, I very well could... or perhaps I could just stay by myself and wonder aimlessly until I find something shiny in the wasteland. Either way, you, the player, gets to role play how you want.
    The role playing isn't too technical or significant, but it's simple. Simple enough that I can enjoy playing without regretting my decisions I made for my character, and not too much that I can't just grab all the special perks that'll make my "OP" instantly. Although, there is no level cap, so technically you could level up and get all the special abilities and become unstoppable, but that would take incredibly long.
    Moving on to length, to put a dent into this game, you'll need to spend some serious gaming time. Like hundreds of hours. The map might not be bigger than previous Bethesda games, but they sure do pack a lot in such a scrumptious wasteland. After completing dozens of quests myself, not yet done with the main story either, the game feels like a true world with too much to do. That's a good thing to have too much of in a game like this, where there is so much variety, I haven't even thought about slowing down or even got bored for that matter.
    In the end, the 10/10 means that this is a true game worth playing, at least once in your life. I have praised every Bethesda game, but not quite like this one. It has got everything from atmosphere to intriguing plots and things to do. Why are you reading this, play the thing already.    … Expand

Attractive comanions and cool laser rifles and melee weapons, by the way I really like how Bethesda buffed melee type perks and weapons, plus you can make your own fortress. Hell I spent what 20 hours building it. This game is that addictive. The story is also amazing. The volume of the story is totally up to you. If you travel more, and read more the world gets bigger and bigger. try to clear every single corner of the map, it'll definitely reward you with unique items and secrets. Try to listen to holo tape, it'll give you more emotions and the life of the people in game. This is not Counter Strike, this is not Black Ops. Don't feel rushed completing main quests. Don't play it like when you try to hit max level playing WOW. When I was playing other games, I always realized that somewhere around I was trying to reach the end of the game as fast as I could and all the contents of the games became meaningless and I was in hurry. However, this game is just incredibly relaxing yet intensive. it feels like i'm actually in the game. I'm also impressed with the improved character customizing and the connections between characters. It's just amazing.… Expand

    There were a lot of complaints about Fallout 4 which I can't agree completely.
    I think lots of players hate Fallout 4 because they're expecting a better version of Fallout 3 with all Fallout 3 features included.

    For those that are open-minded and ready for new different type of role play games Fallout 4 would be a very good choice!
    So lets take a look at the most common criticizied topics

    1. Old karma system is gone -> a new one is on its way:
    Yes, the old karma system isn't the same anymore. In Fallout 4 it's a little bit hidden. The descisions you take play a hidden role within the story line and the behaviour and interactions with the npcs.

    2. Repair Mode of Weapons is gone -> but modification of weapons and armor is increased :
    The old repair mode was redeveloped into the new modification system and crafting mechanics.
    Instead of 'weapons are bad because they broke' the concept of 'weapons are bad because they aren't strong enough'

    3. No seperate Skills, Perks and Skills were fusioned -> is that really true?
    I think thats too fluffy. The Perk system is similar to Fallout 3. You need to increase your S.P.E.C.I.A.L attributes first
    to get the better Perks. Only difference: Perks and Attributes are melted into one menu/ grafic.
    In my opinion thats perfectly arranged to get a better overview about your characters skill matrix.

    4. Role Play Gameing is shrinked to a minimum -> its well balanced
    The role play gaming in Fallout 4 is compromised to the point. You've got dialogs, you've got a skilling system.
    The drifference is, that the role play game is more group oriented. Its more about building up your character through interactions with npcs and clans.

    5. The crafting and the colony system is difficult to handle and useless -> but minecraft nerds will love it
    Seriously, the best moment in Fallout 4 I had so far was discovering the crafting mechanics by randomness.
    You are able to collect all that crap from the wastelands and use it to build up your own base incl. npcs!
    If you ever dreamed about cleaning up Fallout 3 and building up your own estate to show and store your valueable weapons and amor
    - then I have to say your dreams come true!

    6. time in V.A.T.S. mode progresses -> [._°] whats new about this?
    I think the time in V.A.T.S. mode also progressed in Fallout 3. I don't know if it was in the main game or if it was a game mod,
    but I don't see that big disadvantage about this. The only thing to mention is, that speed the time in V.A.T.S mode is progressing
    increases the difficulty of the game. And thats a plus for advanced gamers

    7. the dialog system is simplified -> hell yeah, I love it
    Honestly I love this feature. I remember how often I clicked away every dialog in fallout 3, because every the NPCs said was ther in the text box.
    Bethesda decide to remove this redundancy. Very good choice in my case. Also the dynamic camera in dialogs increases the game feeling.

    8. Flat story, lame dialogs, bad voice acting -> didn't recognized that
    I've played the german version of the game so far and have to say that its flawless.
    But we will see...

    9. Graphics are bad -> ... well actually thats a point I agree
    The graphics are little bit better than in Fallout 3. But the compositum of everything fits perfectly together.
    And who knows... maybe there is a graphic update patch on its way ;)

    Also I was very impressed of the detailled character creator. I've never saw I better one.
    I also like the weather system very much, which creates a very apokalypsed athmosphere.
    And Soundtrack is awesome too...

    To conclude: In my opinion the best game so far. If you love sand box gaming with role play charakter such as crafting and colony system then Fallout 4 will cost you a lot of free time hours ;)    … Expand

    Tremendous game-play and a vast world to explore. Minor clipping bugs are apparent, but I can forgive those for Fallout. Nothing game breaking at all. The RPG element is as present as fallout 3 with a decent upgrade to free shooting and VATS. I would give this 9 but since the haters have been out, I will up my score to 10 just to balance them out.

The atmosphere is amazing, in Fallout 3 a major gripe of mine was that Fallout 3's downtown was untraversable unless you went through the subways. Boston is very open and an amazing atmosphere to explore. One of the best moments I had in the game was walking around the Streets of Boston with my radio turned off, just letting the soundtrack (which is surprisingly very good) and going through the alleyways and picking off raiders and ghouls. [VERY MINOR SPOILER] When I went to the Public Library, a Massive Gang of Supermutants attacked and the following battle was one of the most fun moments I've had in Fallout. The constant fire of Lasers from the Protectrons and Molotov's flying everywhere made from a very fun experience, and was the moment I knew that I was in love with this game.… Expand

This game is not without it's flaws, but I enjoy this iteration of Fallout world immensely. Everything so far has been a real upgrade from previous titles and Skyrim. Bethesda didn't reinvent the wheel, but jagged it up and polished it. The love and care which gave birth to Fallout 4 is clearly seen and I sincerely believe Bethesda gave this game their best effort. In my eyes the end result really shines, but I understand that this is not the case for all. To use an older engine is not a sin, since they reworked it to the next level and introduced us many next-gen graphical gimmicks which bring the wasteland to life. Special mention to the atrocious shadows and lighting from Skyrim which are now beautiful and purposeful.

    After playing Fallout 4, Fallout 3 seems like a proof-of-concept and New Vegas a playable demo =) I salute Bethesdas stubborness to iterate their concept rather than build everything from scratch. This is a new and so far best version of Fallout universe, not a groundbreaking new game.

    This game is not perfect, the long development cycle is visible in some last-gen textures and meshes, but this is something that modders or perhaps Bethesda themselves will fix (remember HD patch for Skyrim?) And complaining about textures and meshes while ignoring all the greatness of core mechanics and engine improvement is just... silly. If my car is powerful and great to drive I couldn't care less about last season rims or fading paintwork.

    I like the evolved skill and perk system from Skyrim, which hides tedious statistics under the bonnet. People **** how rpg elements have been dismissed but they ARE there, just not shown in sheets. Role playing is about playing a ROLE, not fiddling with stats. Stats are there to constrain your abilities to your role, but they're not something that has to be visible and fiddled with. From paper RPG:s they've been a necessary nuisance and I'm glad Bethesda agreed with my minority vision and hid them from plain view. Or would you really like to see some virtual dice-throwing before each shot?

    Quests, dialogue and writing is far from Bioware quality, but they're in a league of their own. In my wet dreams I'd like to see Bethesda and Bioware join ranks. Imagine Bethesda's modular openness with Bioware's dramatic content? Drool,...

    I'm not saying the content is bad, by no means! Voice-acting is a huge leap from Skyrim and the wasteland is now an exceptionally lively place with people going about their business, chatting and bickering. Quests are interesting and have some nice twists and on a whole they are more interesting than tedious, and do not sacrifice replay value.

    My only gripe is with the FOV and mouse smoothing. These suck and require too much fiddling to be changed. That's the ONLY whine I've found. Not bad Bethesda, not bad at all. Fix those annoyances, please. For all the else, Kudos and Respect. You've made one kick-ass game with love and care. For that, you deserve 10/10.    … Expand

    The new power armor is amazing instead of it just being armor it now feel like you are a walking tank. Feels like the first iron man suit with out the flying part :)
    The weather and lightning effects are amazing and leads to some very breathtaking landscapes.
    So far all the quest have been interesting to play.
    The new perk system is fantastic. They removed the old skill system, which didn't make any sense and replaced it with this new system where the skills have been spread out in a way that makes sense.

    The bad:
    Voice acting of some npcs like codsworth is fantastic but some other characters not so much.
    The textures are not that good, they are not horrible but they are not great.
    The dialog system has been simplified and sometimes you say something you didn't want to say because the description did not explain what you were going to say.
    Building the settlements is a little wonky because of the grid.
    Some quest are very repetitive (go here, kill that or go here, kill them, collect that)

    I have heard a lot of people had lots of trouble with this game. Both with performance and bugs. I myself have not run into that many problems I have been stuck on a terminal once and sometimes I get a little fps drops but I have never been lower than 55.

    Conclusion:
    Fallout 4 is overall a fantastic games really worth playing and a worthy sequel in the fallout series but it is really restricted by some of the bad stuff like the dialog system and repetitive is holding it back.    … Expand

    This game is hands down, the best game i have ever played. I have never been as immersed into a game as i am with Fallout 4.So many feautures..I don't know what to begin with..
    From weapon customization( which is HUGE.) to Armor building, to food and chem crafting, to settlement managing , to base building: This game is truly, a masterpiece.

    ALTHOUGH i do agree with some of the rants, be it the graphics issue (however they aren't that disappointing, plus mods exist for a reason) or the complaints about dialogue or about fallout losing its role playing aspect, however despite these minor flaws, i believe that they can be overlooked.
    Nevertheless, Fallout 4 , is , just like its predecessors were, one of the greatest video games ever made.
    Because Bethesda's ability to create massive dynamic and realistic alternate realities never changes...    … Expand

    Despite of the performance issues, the console UI and the limited dialogue, I think that this game is really really good.
    1. It's huge, lots of quests and an extremely dense world.
    2. Crafting is awesome and lets you customize like never before. 3. Even though the perk system isn't just as RPG-ish, I think it's an improvement. 4. There usually aren't more than 4 dialogue options    Despite of the performance issues, the console UI and the limited dialogue, I think that this game is really really good.

    3. Even though the perk system isn't just as RPG-ish, I think it's an improvement.
    4. There usually aren't more than 4 dialogue options anyway, and it's rare that you say something you didn't mean to.
    5. Protagonist voice makes the game feel more polished, complete and interesting.
    6. Gunplay and animations has improved a lot.
    7. Settlements works well, not super in-deapth, but still really fun.
    8. Lots of locations to explore, lots of them has interesting backsories, if you take your time to read them they often reveal a treasure.
    9. Power armor is awesome.
    10. Lots more!

    There are a lot of people that don't own the game giving negative reviews (hence the bad user metascore and upvoted negative reviews on steam.
    Also, I would have given it 9/10, but because there are lots of idiots giving it 0 just because they don't like the sound your character makes when it is hugged by batman, I give it 10 to try justifying.

    I think Bethesda has done a good job trying to innovate here. They have implemented a lot of new features that are probably going to stick around for later titles. The game is worth the money now, and it will be even better when mods fixes its flaws.    … Expand

    Fallout 4 has a great atmosphere. The Gameplay is solid, despite the already mentioned inventory problem and the lack of a better keyboard/mouse integration. Unemotional facial features decrease the game experience a bit, but i can get over this. The building mode with possible trading system is incredibly huge and fits perfectly in the survival character, which comes up after severalFallout 4 has a great atmosphere.

I would agree that this game has much more hack'n'slay moments than the previous parts of the series, but actually this doesn't make it a bad Fallout. Im looking forward to fan-based content and mods. Try it yourself and take your own decision. Ignore the ****… 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]
