    This game is not a PC game ! Horrible gameplay ! It is not acceptable for PC player to buy a game that is so much unoptimized ! The inventory/controls are made for Xbox/Playstation but not for PC. It could be much better ! Very disappointed ... Also, in comparison, Fallout 3 lvl-up system was much better. Waiting for nice mods to correct that, but I think it should be a developer issue andThis game is not a PC game ! Horrible gameplay !

    Writing, story, and world building take a back seat to brand recognition and flashy graphics (which aren't that good, mind you).

There are too many jarring lapses in the established lore to ignore.

    The game's alright if all you want to do is run around mindlessly shooting stuff with your guns for about 3 hours and then quit. Sometimes I'll be high and consider launching it up before I realize I uninstalled it and own KillingFloor.

    If you're looking for a good RPG, go play New Vegas. I hope Bethesda lets Obsidian make the rest of the fallout games, since they know how to make a much better game with a fraction of the time and resources. I know that won't happen, but a man can dream.    … Expand

    And while Bethesda was busy with selling more "content" through a few half-finished DLCs, modders did the heavy lifting by providing the community with inofficial bug fixes, mods that improved the gameplay a lot, and in some cases even mods that could stand right beside any of the official DLCs.
    Instead of supporting those modders with some kind of recognition, Bethesda chosed to release the "Creation Club" for Fo4, which is nothing else then a rather tasteless atempt on trying to cash in on all the work the modders did for the game.
    The Creation Club isn't an option like any other paid DLC, it's forced upon every player instead, there is currently no official way to uninstall the CC and then play Fo4 as we were used to.
    A future update for the CC will probably get rid of the paid mods archives, but in the end, we'll still have to download every update for the CC that pushes another round of paid mods into the game.
    And those paid mods are really expensinve... and of course filled with bugs and issues like the game itself. So much for their advertised "quality control".
    Not to mention that this first update and installment of CC even broke free mods in the process, and that this will probably happen again with the next patch too.
    My guess, this is only the beginning, at some point they will probably turn the Creation Club into a Gatekeeper program for all mods, and you won't be able to use mods that aren't on their "list".    … Expand

    Fallout 4 Review from a Fallout gamer
    Fallout 4, is Duke Nukem meets Sim City, it is not the R.P.G. we were promised, it fails to deliver anything even close to the Fallout series, other than in name. Bethesda had 7 years to make this game, one of the best games ever and failed miserably. The following is a short list of why Fallout 4 is a terrible game.
    1) Same bugged game engine as    Fallout 4 Review from a Fallout gamer
    Fallout 4, is Duke Nukem meets Sim City, it is not the R.P.G. we were promised, it fails to deliver anything even close to the Fallout series, other than in name. Bethesda had 7 years to make this game, one of the best games ever and failed miserably. The following is a short list of why Fallout 4 is a terrible game.
    1) Same bugged game engine as Fallout 3, & Fallout NV. All Bethesda has done was add on to the game engine to support Fallout 4, they still have not bothered to fix the Crashing to Desktop, Hard Lock Up Crashes, and lagging issues.
    2) Broken Lore, Examples : T-60 power armor, and Jet. To name two, many more exist.
    3) Lack of choice, bad dialogue, bad writing, and ripping out the SKILLs system, replacing it with just Perks, that are mostly useless.
    4) Weapons, are mostly the same, Combat Rifle, Combat Shotgun, Combat Sniper Rifle, all the same look, and Sounds are all the same, Laser and Plasma Rifles that sound like a ballistic weapon. (Unlike any previous Fallout Titles!)
    Fallout 4 is the worst Fallout game in the series, and that is saying something since I do own every single game in the series with the acception of Fallout 4, which I played on a friends gaming PC. A P.C. that has a 4.2 Ghz 8 Core Processor, 32 Gb of Ram, and a very expensive 12 Gb Graphics card, on Windows 10. Still got the same crashes, as Fallout 3 & Fallout NV!!1 Bethesda has left the Budget PC Gamer out in the wasteland, with the overly high System requirements. (A PC that meets their "Minimum requirements" won't play Fallout 4 very well. Leaving those that can't afford $400 + to upgrade their PC's out of ever playing Fallout 4.
    To me the whole game looks like it was lazily slapped together inside a few months instead of the 7 years they had to really make it a great game. I for one won't be buying this game, I can't see wasting my money, on an FPS, when I wanted a Fallout RPG.    … Expand

    "I was going to put a brilliant review up for fallout 4. But Bethesda just released a new patch with a Paid mod system that makes you pay for mods you can get for free on nexusmods, and it broke all the free mods.

    The game is good, the publisher seems to only want money.

Now, there's a lot of prettiness here, some excellent art design at points, and also modelling. Stuff just looks good!

    Now, does a lot of it make sense? Well, no. The Commonwealth looks closer to a particularly bad Earthquake than it does a living world 210 years after global nuclear apocalypse and also need I mention, TWO HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS. Brick and wood houses are still standing, bottles are still upright, skeletons are still boning it up and clothed, .. there's a lot of little problems like this.

    It seems, again, Bethesda's design really was thinking a world 5 or maybe 10 after the bomb, but wanted to have a time frame including the events of the first two Fallouts when designing Fallout 3. So this is a holdover

    The gameplay isn't really good. I do admit, I had some fun early on walking through the world conserving power armor energy, praying my next encounter would yield a fusion core. Popping out to snipe targets and stealth around, running back to the frame when I got caught. This worked, this was fun for a while.

    But then it just got too easy. By the time I had met the Brotherhood proper, I had 37 fusion cores, combat had gotten laughably easy despite me leveling non combat, social and settlement traits and having a charisma/int build.

    I couldn't find a single enemy worth cheesing or even cheating over and I know all the console commands. And I was still 21 levels from the goddamn jet pack. Oh and the writing was making it clear it wasn't going to get better on a storytelling or characterization front.
    I cannot believe how bad the main character is and how dumb and hysterical. Your lines are terrible. the dialog wheel choices are worse than Mass Effect, often don't matter or make no sense, and they rarely lead to different outcomes. This becomes extremely blatant if you get a "full dialog choice" mod and you can actually see what you'll say. Or more often they just railroad you into their outcome after a snide remark.

    I am tired of ranting so I am just going to say I cannot believe this is in the same family tree as Fallout 1 and 2. I am aghast. They were roleplaying games in the original sense. You could design a character, your character, and you had so many more ways to be it.

    Now what do we have? This is pretty much the same plot line as Fallout 3, only this time the guy with the beard and white lab coat is technically your son, but they still call him father. Man I don't even know the ethos and doctrine of the Institute, and I just did their questline.. aye yai yai.

    I know and understand the Master's points and maneuvers. I get Gizmo's philosophy even if i disagree with it. I understand the FO1 Brohood and sympathize with them, even if they are wrong. Even the Vault City and the Enclave from FO2 make sense, although they are evil.

    I wish I could get a refund, I wish I could summon back the world where Kirkbride and others did Bethesda's writing or better yet revive the real Black Isle Studios, people who knew how to make a goddamn game and did make the best of them    … Expand

    If they wanted to add a new paid mods system they should have waited for next game, not implement it on a game that have been kept alive by the modding community for years.

    I would love to give the game 10 points but these are the reasons I lowered it:
    - 2 Point for bugs => This game got a lot of bugs. Some was even discovered in past games, are simple to reproduce and are still not fixed. Other bugs are caused by content and should be fairly easy to patch but still remain to this day. Very bad Bethesda.
    - 2 Point for story => Did someone forget the writers in the cellar? This installment have the weakest story of them all and it is very weak. 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. The followers are the least memorable that I can remember and I am not sure but are they trying to make Synths good and Brotherhood evil or is it the other way around. It is just a mess.
    - 1 Point for DLC => Look, content and stories for the game... that you have to pay for. I bet this stuff got worked on during development of the main game and later cut because it would make good DLC to further milk users on their money.

    Sadly, I wish I didn't have to say it but Bethesda, get your act together and do something good with the Fallout world or hire Obsidian and give them the time needed to do it for you but don't milk such an iconic and loved franchise like this.    … Expand

    Bethesda has betrayed their customers by adding extremely overpriced micro-transactions to Fallout 4. This must be opposed, and I urge all game consumers to boycott all ZeniMax and Bethesda games to help stop the proliferation of micro-transactions in full priced games.

The game is very tiring, you spend hours and hours playing and want to sleep, the story is very boring and poorly written, you spend the entire game going from one end of the map to the other in search of a kidnapped kid, the system combat is terrible, the weapons seem to be airsoft because they seem to take little damage from enemies, I played thisone of the worst rpgs I've ever played.

    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]
