    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.

    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.

In none of the previous Fallout games have I ever felt that I kinda want to see it in it's prewar state, full of life...

    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
    My heavily patched and modded version of Fallout 4 GOTY review:

    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

    As a massive Fallout fan, I was disappointed with this game. It had very few dialogue options that had an actual impact, and the dialogue was not as clever or funny as previous games. However, if I judged this as a game in itself and not on what I expected, it is a genuinely fun rpg shooter with mostly interesting quests, enemies, and guns that only has the downfall of a lack of rpg elements.

    This is an alright game but is unfortunately not a very good Fallout title. I'd expect more from a singe player Bethesda title. Fallout 3 and New Vegas were very well done titles in the series and while this game has a few steps forward, there are a ton back.

    Fallout 4 improves combat & visual quality from Fallout 3 & NV, however while for some people the graphics are lacking when compared to games like Witcher 3 its often considered a key negative by fan who miss the main purpose of these games.

    its important to remember the core focus is the story, player freedom & the overall ability to Role Play in the game & Fallout NV proves my point
    Fallout 4 improves combat & visual quality from Fallout 3 & NV, however while for some people the graphics are lacking when compared to games like Witcher 3 its often considered a key negative by fan who miss the main purpose of these games.

    its important to remember the core focus is the story, player freedom & the overall ability to Role Play in the game & Fallout NV proves my point as Obsidian used the same engine & graphical assets of Fallout 3 meaning more time is spent on making the main story, its side quests & improving the overall RPG experience all of which was created in just 18 month, but FNV came out buggy & although those bugs were fixed the initial damage was done bringing down review scores, but in the End Fallout NV is remember by most Fallout fans as being better than Fallout 3.

    Now back to Fallout 4 the opposite is true, once the exactment had passed I along with most fans realised the steps backwards, Skills & Perks are merged into one reducing player playstyles, not to mention all too often there aren't multiple ways to solve problems beyond speech check or the use of your guns, settlement building provides a fun way for creating a deeper connection to the world as you build your own home, and you can create settlements each with their own styles if you so wish, though all too often settlements need your babysitting as they seem unable to defend themselves even though you built a wall armed with rocket & laser turrets.

    The addition of a voiced protagonist is a completely unnecessary one, firstly it reduces the players connection to their character and the game world, as lines of dialog are spoken in a way I did not intend for them to be said, in the Vault 88 DLC there's a speech check which I was taking the situation seriously but the voice actor said it like he was joking or being smug this disconnects me from the world reducing my role playing experience as I feel less in control of my character

    Some minor SPOILERS here.
    The core focus of the story is Institute & their Synth, and no where shows just how much of a lack of effort was made to explain and add to the lore than the information surrounding them, it is unclear how Synths are made and function, for a long while I was lead to believe that all Synth have a Synth component (SC) and that was a key part in how they function, but it seem that some synths don't have them leading to speculation that the SC is only in synths that travel to the surface, other speculation includes do synths need to eat, drink, or sleep and just how many bad to good things has the Institute done and its not made clear what their end goal is.

    This when coupled with the cut content some of which was shown the trailers (Combat Zone) show that the game could of done with another 4-6 months to really flesh out the story/lore and indeed correct lore contradictions that are made in the game namely Jet and XO1 power Armor.

    Fallout 4 will go down as the Fallout game of missteps by Bethesda Skill/Perks, Voiced PC, Lore mistakes or full on retcons, lacking features that seem like the logical addtion like a Armor & weapon stand for those settlements you build so you can show off you treasures from the wastes, even after launch features like survival mode were poorly designed, and only catered to the most hardcore players, where as the average player doesn't want to not be able to save whenever they like, or have to take 2x damage from enemy's over the normal difficulty 1x damage, the devs couldn't even get this right.

    Overall Fallout is a fun but ultimately and step backwards in the Bethesda RPG franchise and gives me concern for Elder Scrolls 6 especially when they make games like Fallout 76 that the majority of fans don't want.

    Bethesda need to remember their making games for their millions of fans not the millions on non-fans.

    This is probably the best Fallout game, sorry but this is the truth.

The voiced protagonist: the voice actors did a fantastic job, but I don't feel like the voiced protagonist fit well in the game.

    If you give this game a 0 because of "muh Fallout isn't RPG-like" you have bad opinions. Just play a game for fun, don't play a game because it isn't in a very specific genre.

    After playing the outer worlds I just cant help but feel this games story and world building is very 2 dimensional. How is it that obsidian can make a game and story from scratch, with a smaller team and still make a better game than any fallout game bethesda ever made. Also with very few bugs might I add.

    The game is way more polished than Fallout 3 and Bethesda does what it does best here. The open world is beautifully done and gunplay is more fluid and realistic. However, the developers decided to make Fallout 4 more into a first-person shooter with RPG elements than into an RPG.

If I were a fan of the original two Fallouts, I would be pissed as hell by this game. Gameplay is dumbed down in almost every aspect, Bethesda learned almost nothing from Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas. The dialog system has been raped and adding a voiced main character makes it almost impossible to role play. Do you want to be a violent psychopath who disses everybody and everything? Too bad, you're either a former soldier who cares about kids or a law school graduate who cares about kids. This game features the most streamlined and forgettable quests I've ever seen in an RPG. It's a few months since I've last played it and I don't remember a single one. Can't Bethesda hire a few professional writers, since even their biggest fans admit that their quests suck? Just look at what CD Project Red did with The Witcher 3. This is I think the most frustrating thing about this game: the fact that Bethesda has given up on innovation in these aspects. I really hope that they will do something better with Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6. Expand

    What ruins the game
    The biggest thing that ruins this game are the bugs. Every Bethesda game has them, but for a game that was in development for 7 years AND has been out for 5 years (that's 12 years total we're talking), it is still riddled with game-breaking bugs.
    I have had to restart many, many times because of game-breaking bugs that can occur without you even noticing until you've already put in tens of hours.

    What it does right
    If there's one thing in Fallout 4 I personally found worthwhile, it'd be the settlement system. I really enjoyed the base-building mechanics and occasional raids. It reminds me of those old tower defense flash games I used to play on Armorgames.
    On top of that, I also think Fallout 4 has the best weapon/armor customization I've ever seen in a game.

    It has it's fun moments here and there, but the bugs and tediousness cannot be ignored.

    Combat is fun and many of the characters are interesting.....the ending just about ruined my experience my first time playing, the fact Kellog somehow didn't age even though most of his body was organic, a smoker and a drinker living longer than Shaun who had access to the same technology.....they thought it would be a cliffhanger leave you thinking ending, but really it was annoying and lackluster, not to mention siding with any faction means genoicide, not one single diplomatic option for the end, no real comforting closure....written by Satan himself..
    Even though I still consider this in my top 10 list games as far as fun and replay value is concerned, the story alone couldnt carry this title, it is not so bad until you actually start to finish the main story, thankfully I have an imagination and play the game and simply dont finish, creating my own ending in my head. The combat, weapons, and the atmosphere are top notch, these days, this game is my favorite to just pick up and play.

    I know the game is dumbed down version after Fallout 3 and Fallout NV but its still not that bad.
    The graphics are nice and animations are good.
    The soundtracks is also fine.
    The story and rpg elements however are very bad.
    The gameplay is fun with the guns and stuff but it has some bugs.

    Really immersive game that sadly cuts down on some textures quality for some reason. Don’t be put off by that tho because this game still offers a lot.
    All in all it’s a sandbox with great character development, settlement building, crafting system and more. The downside for me is an OK storyline (mainly due to the mediocre human animation quality) and sometimes underwhelming graphics

I've 118 hours into the game on a few different characters and I found the game very enjoyable.

I thought the combat was fun and engaging, though I'll admit the story was about a 5/10 (average) and the dialog choices were rather leaned toward just a few ways of playing the game (side with 1 of 3 factions).

    Cons -
    1. Mediocre story with characters that make you feel little emotion
    2. Poor dialog choices in an RPG
    3. Few bugs (you shouldn't encounter too many typically speaking)
    4. Some of the textures can look a little poor

    Pros -
    1. I found the gameplay fun and engaging (combat, quests)
    2. Good reward system (perk points, weapon/ammo drops)
    3. Easy to dump time into and have fun for a long time
    4. Very high replayability; at least 80+ hours of enjoyable gameplay with too much repetition

    Conclusion: All in all, a good game I would recommend buying. The negative reviews on this are more negative than they should be as the game is much better than they make it out to be. However, this game is no 9 or 10 because it does have flaws and can be dull at times.

    Fallout 4 is not a terrible game, but its far from great. The graphics was very outdated even for 2015, shooting is a little annoying too. Animations are again one of the worst in the industry. The plot actually got me hooked on, but at the same time its not the best story. All in all, I would say its a 6-7/10. Playable but could be some much better.

    The game is a bit too streamlined and polished. The dialogue options are very limited, as is your ability to play a character like you want -- **** or saint. With the extremely high bar that New Vegas set (and that wasn't even by the same people as this game), this game could honestly only disappoint on that front. Not only that, but there is no "END" to this game. As soon as you complete the last mission for what ever faction you've chosen, the game allows you to continue on. There aren't any end title cards, no "Where are they now" for your companions...Nothing. That was one of the best parts of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, seeing how your actions affected the people you encountered. I guess they dropped them in this game because you're now making a new life in this wasteland and your actions haven't caused your death or "sealed your fate"...except they have, at least regarding the latter.

    The fact that you have quite a few colorful companions to accompany you on your journey, and the fact that they are romanceable by you regardless of gender, is a plus for me since I am Bisexual and kind of laissez faire with the whole 'who do you love' sort of deal, but it is admittedly a shallow system: There aren't any indicators that the characters acknowledge your sex and how that plays into a relationship, because it is important despite this being a postnuclear apocalypse...But anyway.

    If I had to summarize this game, it would be that you need mod on top of mod to keep this game interesting past the first three playthroughs, while New Vegas and Fallout 3 require absolutely nothing.

    This is a good game that you first play and enjoy the atmosphere of the map. There are both pros and cons. But do not forget that an unnecessary Sims element was brought in, which not interesting for me, because I came to play fallout.

    Pluses:
    1) Grafon. If we compare the 3 part and 4, then the difference is heaven and earth. Well, if you compare it with the Witcher, then yes, there are gaps in the graphics, but you can’t compare the cards. In this map you will not find grasses and trees in 90% of cases. This is a depressing post-apocalyptic place, not a walk in the woods.
    2) Change in pumping. Now you do not need to pump each skill up to 100 points in order to master one ability. Now you can see what skill is needed for your passage.
    3) Mini-bosses. Previously, there were only story bosses, and then in the third part they did not differ from ordinary mobs. Now they exist, are separately marked with an asterisk and give a pretty good item after killing, whether it be a weapon or armor. They are not easy to kill, as if you are trying to destroy the death claw (more on that later), and it's interesting.

    Minuses:
    1) Sims. This is an optional matter, okay 1 time I will do a mission with "sims". You can ignore one minetman with terribly annoying missions with the liberation of the territory. But, just walking around, you see a small town with enemies and you think "Hmm, I'm not averse to farming." Killed the cheliks, took the loot and you see this red bandura. And God forbid that you press on him and this town is yours. And what to do with it? Well, yes, you can quit, but the place for farming is shrinking and you want to shoot. There is with 1 mission with a town of inhabitants. Complete the sidequest on 1 of the endings and you will get the city. WHY DO I DO THIS? AND WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT? I DON'T WANT TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE MUHOSRANSK.
    2) NPS. There are well-designed mobs, and there are dumb ones. Deathclaw is no exception. DEATH CLAW. THE MOST TOUGHEST MOB IN THE GAME, EVEN THE BOSSES CANNOT BE COMPARED TO IT. And he is afraid of water... That's real. Climbed into the river and he lost you. Okay, in a closet in which he does not crawl. This is still understandable. But water...
    3) Bug partners. It happens that you teleport or enter / exit the building and the partners get stuck in the textures. And it happens that you are trying to load a point, and they are sitting there. Bruh moment.

    i just want bethesda to know that their company deserves to go up in flames. thank you :)

    "Fallout 4, что же это такое?" - Задавался я этим вопросом на протяжении всей игры, на протяжении более чем 200 часов. Первое впечатление у меня было неоднозначным, казалось что это будет личная история главного героя, у которого отняли всё. Но ближе к середине, история стала глобальнее в разы, так как появились старые и новые знакомые в лице крупных фракций, которые придерживаются"Fallout 4, что же это такое?" - Задавался я этим вопросом на протяжении всей игры, на протяжении более чем 200 часов. Первое впечатление у меня было неоднозначным, казалось что это будет личная история главного героя, у которого отняли всё. Но ближе к середине, история стала глобальнее в разы, так как появились старые и новые знакомые в лице крупных фракций, которые придерживаются собственной идеологии. Конечно они испортили Братство стали, испортили в разы. Вместо суровой организации с практически полной секретностью, Bethesda сделала Братство как Fallout 3, только ещё хуже. Институт был придуман ещё во времена Fallout 3, там ему даже квест посвящён, но речь не о тех прекрасных временах, а о наших суровых временах и в них Институт не плох, но проходить за него игру я не стал, мне больше по душе Братство и Минитмены, за которых и я и прошёл игру. Минитмены отличная организация, мне она по душе сильнее всех остальных, организация со своими идеями и порядком. А вот Подземка меня разочаровала, я ожидал что они будут иметь при себе тайных информаторов в институте, но таковых я там увы не встретил, в остальном они какие-то бомжи из подвала церкви защищающие синтов. Сюжет здесь не сильно изменился в отличии от Fallout 3, просто поменяли местами сына и отца и добавили 4 сюжетных линии за 4 выше названные фракции. Прокачка стала хуже чем в Fallout 3, это система прокачки из какой нибудь Dragon Age, но никак не из Fallout.
    Квесты стали лучше чем в Fallout 3, но хуже чем в моём любимом Fallout: New Vegas. Есть реально интересные, а есть и квесты по типу убей врагов там и принеси вот это, такие задания порой очень бесят, они подходят для ММО, но никак не для RPG 2015 года. И да, в Fallout 4 должен был быть мультиплеер, но от него отказались. Персонажи, а особенно напарники стали глубже и интереснее, огромный шаг в сравнении с Fallout 3, но маленький шаг назад в сравнении с New Vegas, это касается и квестов напарников. Со звуком точно такая-же история.
    А вот что стало лучше в сравнении с New Vegas: графика, стрельба, дизайн уровней, противников и мира. Стрелять удобно, пушки ощущаются очень реалистично. Графика не супермегахит, но лучше чем в New Vegas. Мир выглядит разнообразным не только благодаря дизайнерам, но и благодаря тому что Bethesda убрала цветовой фильтр в мусорное ведро и правильно сделала, он резал глаза в Fallout 3 и Fallout New Vegas. Противники стали красивее.
    И главное - поселения! Я сейчас на полном серьёзе. Мне они понравилась.
    Вердикт - 9/10 "Шикарно!"

    The dialog system is SUCH a step down from the previous fallout games.

    Also the talking protagonist is a COMPLETE JOKE. Totally ruins the Immersion of the game.

    If it weren't for those 2 things, I may have been able to enjoy the game, but those two things totally ruined the game for me.

    After Fallout 3, there was a game called Fallout: New Vegas. It was critically acclaimed because it had really good writing.

    After Fallout 3, there was a game called Fallout: New Vegas. It was critically acclaimed because it had really good writing. People looked past its many flaws; glitches, a consequence of Bethesda asking Obsidian to make the game in an afternoon, very ugly graphics for the time and not very fun combat.
    People looked past these flaws because the writing of the game was that good. Even today, Fallout: New Vegas keeps a healthy 8.7 user score on this very website. However, Fallout 4 does not enjoy that luxury.

    Why is there such a large discrepancy between critic and audience scores? It's not because critics are out of touch idiot dumdums who are nitpicking and biased, but rather because their job is to literally put out a review. They can't do that one year after the game comes out, can they? I would reckon most critics put out their review within the first month of playing a game.
    And while that might be more than enough time to get through Resident Evil 2 or Super Mario Galaxy, it's not enough time to get through Fallout 4.
    I currently have circa 100 hours in the game, which I would consider very little, compared to my playtime for some other Bethesda RPGs and other Fallout games. This is still probably more time than what critics spent with it in the few weeks between the distribution of review copies and the lifting of the embargo, and most certainly more time than most of the 10/10 user reviews, that were written within 3 days of the game's release.

    What does this mean?

    It means this game that's been advertised as a vast and immersive timesink is being mostly judged by people who haven't even played it that much, and that inflates its review score to hell and back.

    Bethesda ruined the dialogue in a game that heavily relies on dialogue. Bethesda turned a game series that is known for deeply funny and interesting quests into a factory of "another settlement needs your help" quests. Bethesda fundamentally doesn't understand what makes their good games good and fun.

    In Fallout 4, a game advertised as an RPG, you play as Nate, a middle-aged wisecracking war veteran, or Nora, a middle-aged wisecracking wife of a war veteran. You are driven by one thing and one thing only, rescuing your son, whose name I remember starts with an S.

    Your character has the most vanilla voice actor Bethesda came across, who either has no emotion or all the emotions, and no in-between.

    The objective of the game is to find your son, and help settlements along the way. There are branching paths, and your character has mostly figured out how to be an independent, self-driven person, which is a large improvement from the "hey lone wanderer, go here, because your dad went this way" mentality of Fallout 3. It's still "I'm going to go there because my son could have gone that way" but it's better than being told what to do. Credit where credit is due.

    There are some branching paths in the story, similarly to New Vegas, but unfortunately there is very little in the way of consequences for your actions.

    The game leaves very little room for roleplaying beyond the most basic "will you be a good guy,,, or a dick" moral decisions. There are in fact more personalities beyond good guy and dick, and Bethesda doesn't seem to be aware of this.

    The quests are boring. The fact that you have a hard time telling radiant quests and regular, written quests isn't as much a testament to the amazing talent Bethesda has for making great radiant quest systems but more proof that their "real" quests are very bland and cookie cutter.

    This would all be fine if Bethesda finally decided to make a polished game, with fun combat. These would be flaws that people would look past. But that is not the case.
    The combat is boring and not engaging. The novelty of the VATS system has worn off. Every gun feels like a pea shooter. If you increase the difficulty, enemies don't get smarter AI as much as they get health buffs. And shooting at a guy twice is way more fun than shooting at them once.

    The game gives you power armour and lets you kill a deathclaw in its very beginning (or what would be the beginning if you could get past the 2-hour intro that Bethesda insists on putting in every Fallout game and that literally no one in the world likes) seemingly to make you feel like a badass and establish that the game won't make any effort to teach through dying or reward you for effort.

    Speaking of which, can we talk about the intro? What a way to set the tone! It's very frank and honest about what the game is: a linear corridor disguised as an open world, with the most boring characters in the world and nothing interesting to do. A chore.

    That's what this game is. A chore to play. And I'd like to say this review is a call to action for Bethesda, but I just don't believe they can make a good Fallout game, because they seem to fundamentally misunderstand Fallout. I hope this incompetence doesn't bleed to Elder Scrolls VI or Starfield.

    One of the best RPGs I've ever played:
    + story
    + characters
    + dialogue options with big consequences
    .....

    - quite buged few years after release, but thats not big problem I think
    - not in game graphics settings
    ...

    I'm not a fan of Fallout games and the fourth part was the first one I played when she came out. From the basic minuses: the first half of the story is much weaker than the second, there are not many ways to go in addition to "break in and finish everyone off", satellite stories lack details, the ending is disappointing.

    I got very addicted to the game. The story is good imo, the philosophy about synth life and the different views on it. The settlement building is interesting, but seemed like a useless gimmick in the end

    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. Power armor introduction

    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.

    If you think of this game as vanilla only, it's 6/10 or 7/10. But with modding Fallout 4 is one of the greatest games of all time.

    As a Fallout game? Bad. But nonetheless it's not making this game the worst experience in the world.
    Things that i like:
    - Atmosphere
    - Weapon/Armor crafting
    - Gun play and well... game play overall
    Things I do NOT like:
    - Preston
    - Voiced hero and this voice acting
    - Dialogues
    - The story
    Overall. Fallout 4 is a good action game with a RPG elements.

    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]
