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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Забудьте про этот продукт.
    Это ни в коем случае не Фаллаут, а те, кто его хаят, вполне возможно просто не врубаются в то, что такое Фаллаут, и что такое РПГ. У меня всё.    … Expand

    Це вже не Fallout...це якийсь недошутер! над геймерами просто познущались. напевно, вже не буде того самого Фоллаута, за яким ми усі так сумуємо. на фоні цієї частини, F3 виглядає шедевром:(

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

    Unfortunately this game is major disappointment after Fallout: New Vegas (made by Obsidian) which was vastly superior in quests, dialogue and storytelling. Bethesda doesn't make RPGs anymore they make sandboxes, I wish Obsidian would have made this game instead. Optimization is bad I get weird stutters all the time in city area with i5 and GTX 970 and there is no excuse when Witcher 3Unfortunately this game is major disappointment after Fallout: New Vegas (made by Obsidian) which was vastly superior in quests, dialogue and storytelling.

    Well,what a huge disappointment. I have really enjoyed F3 and FNV, hence my hopes and expectations for this game were massive. I would have never expected that this franchise would be simply ruined.

    I have played for 10 hours and uninstalled the game. There is absolutely nothing that could keep me playing.

    RPG elements: difficult choices, immersive story line, colorful characters, leveling... it's just not there. There is no depth whatsoever, no purpose. Voice acting seems silly, especially MC's. Side quests are very repetitive, enemies all the same after awhile. This is just an awful game.

    Settlement had promise but is just broken. No way, or very hard to say which settler is doing what etc. Very unpolished. I simply cannot believe that they released it like this! Never, ever will I buy an RPG from Bethesda again. Such a shame :(    … Expand

    Game was ok until it stopped letting load saves. Literally cannot do anything except launch the game and stare at an endless loading screen. Devs have not said a word regarding startup and save file issues, adding further to user dissatisfaction. If I can't play a game, it gets a ZERO by default. I will change accordingly when these issues are resolved:

    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]
