You jog about 10 seconds in any direction and voulez! you come upon an encounter. You will meet ghouls in one place, jog 10 seconds and then meet bandits, turn and jog in another direction and come upon super mutants. How is it that they can exist so tightly packed together and not wiped each other out ? Like I said, after awhile it feels like you are at an amusement park going from one ride to the next.… Expand

    As a Fallout game F4 is complete garbage and insult to the series.
    As an RPG F4 is very bad, it barely can be called RPG at all.
    But as an open world Action game with big emphasis on exploration and progression it is pretty good (except for the main story line, it's still a garbage even by shooter's standards)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It wasn't really apparent how disappointing this game was until a second play through. It's not that it's a bad game, it was fun, I did play 130 hours. but it wasn't what I was expecting. I liked, the branching story paths, unpredictability and the ability to solve problems without violence, that the previous games had. None of which are found in this one. Great movie!!! I saw the movie yesterday and for me it's a 10/10, good story, entertaining and with good fighting moments. I do not understand the critics. I look forward to a second part!!… Expand

    I constantly make the argument that 10's and 0's should be saved for special games. I am sort of breaking that rule at the moment, I think this game is a solid 8. Maybe a 9. But the fact of the matter is that I can't really think of a 10 in this brand of game.

    FO4 on the other hand.. It's gunplay is some of the best I can find, even is full out FPS's. The leveling is different but good. The settlement building is good. The STORYLINE IS GOOD! People who say it is not don't know what storyline is, they confused story and writing, because Yes the Writting is kind of lackluster... The Storyline in NV was garbage but had fantastic writing.

    FO4 is a solid 8 maybe 9, but nothing I have put this must time into can't get a 1 point bump out of me.    … Expand

    While this game is fun to play mechanically, the story is definitely the weakest of all the Bethesda Fallout games.

    One of the best games I ever played. The best game in this generation until now in my opnion. Don't undestand why so many critics about this game. Spent so many hours playing this game, so many things to do, incredible atmosphere, awesome game. Bad graphics? Are you sure you played the same game as me? 10.

    Great game, not that great of an RPG.
    if you love a Dense world with a great sense of exploration and a reward in each corner of the world, then this game is for you.
    but if you want a great RPG like Fallout: New Vegas or DOS2:DE, you will be very disappointed about it.

    Unfortunate that so many people were motivated to review bomb the game with super low scores. I really don’t know what the problem is. It’s a great Bethesda game, much like FO3 but bigger and better. Like Skyrim, it’s packed to the brim with content and a huge area to explore. The world is alive and full of danger. Plenty of interesting characters to talk to and cool stuff to scavenge.Unfortunate that so many people were motivated to review bomb the game with super low scores.

    Even though it differs quite considerably from the two previous FPS titles of the franchise, it is still a very solid game. Sure, there are some issues with the approach Bethesda chose.

    Its a very good Fallout. All in all, there aren't as much interesting characters as in Fallout 3 or New Vegas and it has some bugs. But above all its a solid Title, which have a big amount of sidequests and other things to do. Some mechanisms aren't 100% solid like the Building system without a gamepad.
    But if you like the setting its a must-have.

    Cons:
    On PC this game requires mods and to edit its files to work properly which is really despicable
    Horrible engine utilisation to not fully use the GPU and bottleneck the use of the CPU
    FPS Fluctuating drastically (12 FPS-95 FPS That is despicable)
    FPS is tired to gameplay and load screens which slows down loading times and breaks the game past 75fps
    The cities not being open in the world-space to reduce loading screens
    FPS Stutter issues
    No FOV Slider
    Really limiting Rebind-able key system
    Really inconsistent environmental textures
    Poor facial and clothing textures, inconsistent character animations and extremely poor lip-sync technology
    Flimsy Dialogue camera
    Weak antialiasing that creates a blur effect
    My spouse never responds to the explosion glitch
    Infinite water splashing glitch
    Vault door not opening glitch which is game breaking
    Horrible tutorials for the settlement system and other systems
    Settlement system should be more optional by having a strong auto build settlement type of feature so that you would be able to never touch the settlement system (apart from making the player aware of it) but to not suffer as a result of that
    Some poor UI
    No traits system
    Horrible hacking mini-game
    Not able to climb ledges
    It being 200 years later and almost nothing has happened to the wasteland in terms of progression which is ridiculous
    Inconsistent/bad faction reputation and general reputation system
    Predefined character which restricts what your character can be for an RPG
    Shaun being kidnapped is supposed to give the character urgency which simply doesn’t work for an exploration game especially when both the character's spouse and son aren’t developed before we are supposed to care that they have been taken/killed
    Restricted to a horrible dialogue system which has to be 4 no matter what
    Charisma is the only thing that matters in dialogue with very few exceptions
    Poor story and character pacing/building
    Really poor writing
    Really poor balancing and difficulty inconsistency for combat
    Carry weight is really unbalanced
    Too many settlements that weren’t varied or interesting enough unlike the world space itself
    A lot of really shallow quests
    Morally uninteresting most of the time
    Very very few choice or choices making changes in quests and the stories in a **** RPG
    Almost impossible to even be an evil character

    Pros:
    One of the best world-space/open world in any game ever telling its own stories visually
    All of the crafting systems is amazing
    Great first person shooting mechanic, in my opinion, making fallout finally playable (I need Fallout 4 New Vegas in my bloodstream)
    The Art-style is **** fantastic and realised amazingly
    The 1960s/vault-boy type aesthetic is perfect The companions (apart from Preston Garvey) and the companion system is exceptional
    All of the modernisation from previous games that aren’t in the cons are done really well in my opinion
    The addictive nature of the game even with flaws and all
    The feeling of unlimited content
    All the attention to detail can be seen in things like the easter eggs
    The power armour system is a drastic improvement How easy it is to be immersed into this world The satisfying looting system Overall 6.5/10    … 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]
