    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.

    It's not a bad game but it's a mediocre fallout game. Things I didn't like: no evil character possible except you can shoot ppl in the face, no multiple ways to finish a quest, no skill checks in quests, no skills, bad optimization (half the times 60fps with 50% gpu usage and sometimes 20-30 fps with gpu usage all over the place, bugs and voiced protagonist.

    Things I like: gun and armour customization, power armour (it's like a mech, big, clunky, heavy and "stompy" also requires fusion cores so you can't use it early so it's still balanced), exploration (like a typical Bethesda game the world feels fleshed out and you can read all sorts of short stories on terminals), combat, animations (other games have much better animations but Bethesda has made leaps imo, although lip sync is still bad characters move their hands around when they talk and maybe nod their heads).

    The game is like a sandbox as a child. You wish to dig a hole in the sandbox, because you heard on the cartoons that you could dig all the way to China! So you dig past the first inch or so and you're having a blast, just imagine what its like on the other side! But then you reach the bottom, after two inches, just a black tarp or piece of wood.

Nothing else. I've been a fan of Fallout since the third installment, and 3 as well as NV have both had significant flaws. Fallout 4 does not improve on these flaws, only worsening them to appeal to a broader market. Areas to explore all feel the same, the majority of quests are quite forgettable, and the biggest flaw of all - the dialogue. The dialogue has been limited to four choices per dialogue event, with the majority of the time the answers being "Yes", "Sarcastic yes", "F***k you", and "Tell me more". While the gameplay has been improved, the extremely dated engine limits how much fun can be had just as a shooter.

    Fallout 4 attempts to merge the best of both RPG games and Action-Packed FPS games, while only being mediocre at either one.    … Expand

    The dealbreakers are:

    - awful dialog options, dumbed down to some stupidly simple choices

    - TERRIBLE UI, one of the worst I've ever seen. Navigating through menus and lists is a massive pain in the a$$, everything you want to do takes many, many actions.

    Example 1: you can order your dog (Dogmeat) to look for enemies / items / containers.

    In order to do this, you have to:
    - Approach him
    - press E
    - select Talk
    - select Fetch
    - wait for a stupid small dialogue scene to complete
    - select a choice (Enemies / Items / Containers)

    5 actions for something you'd like to do a lot, without any possibility of keybinding. Just stupid.

    Example 2: comparing armor / weapons

    when you highlight another weapon in your inventory, a "comparison" will be performed
    against your currently equipped weapon.

    A NORMAL UI would either display the stats of both items or the offset (e.g. +5 dmg, -7 accuracy etc).
    No, Fallout 4 gives you a bunch of pluses and minuses that only give you a very rough idea if something is better or worse. It looks like it's tailored for a 5 years old.

    I'm glad I pirated it, that's the silver lining.    … Expand

    Fallout 4 is a slap in the face to those who have cherished the series for its amazing narrative and attention paid to player freedom.

    Fallout 4 places you into the shoes of one of two predetermined characters and pulls you through a shallow narrative in which you have an abysmal impact on the world. It doesn't allow you to flesh-out your character with an intuitive skill system like    Fallout 4 is a slap in the face to those who have cherished the series for its amazing narrative and attention paid to player freedom.

    Fallout 4 places you into the shoes of one of two predetermined characters and pulls you through a shallow narrative in which you have an abysmal impact on the world. It doesn't allow you to flesh-out your character with an intuitive skill system like previous games, and after reaching maximum level, literally every character will play the same. You don't have to carefully invest skill points to tailor your character to your play style.

    The dialog system is a disaster. Bethesda coded themselves into a wall by making it so that the conversation UI only allows for four options. That often means that you don't have enough things to say, or you have four ways of saying the exact same thing. Skill checks are gone. In their place is an occasional RNG persuasion option that is affected by your charisma, but it's pointless due to the fact that you can quicksave and quickload during conversations, so you can just keep reloading until you get the outcome you desire.

    Fallout 4's graphics are really poor for 2015. The world is dull, the textures are muddy (moreso due to the poor quality than the presence of actual mud), and human characters look like they're made of clay and plastic. Even worse, it runs quite poorly, in spite of its low fidelity. Bloated texture files and poorly-optimized lighting and shadows are mainly to blame. Also, the engine is running on outdated code with a few recent additions. It may as well be a modded Morrowind engine. Actually, that's literally what it is.

    Fallout 4 focuses more on maintaining a repetitive gameplay loop than good storytelling and characterisation. Most of the quests just boil down to "go there, shoot the enemies, grab something". Most of the locations in the game are just full on enemies. There aren't many towns because of the settlement system, and when you make some towns, they're never full of interesting characters. It even throws out the idea that Power Armour is rare by having it randomly spawn in the wasteland, PLUS giving a full set of it to players within the first hour of gameplay. Power armour is no longer a powerful late-game item, it's just another game mechanic now. People seem to praise the combat mechanics, even though they're just passable at best. There are no different ammo types for each weapon, and there is a small variety of weapons. Sure, there's a lot of weapon customisation, but it's mostly just linear upgrading and doesn't allow for very unique weapons.

    Now, about the weapons, so many of the designs make no sense. First, they're all left-handed. The bolts and ejection ports are all on the left sides of the guns, so the hot spent casings just fly in front of your face. Second, the assault rifle and combat rifle are really poorly thought-out. The assault rifle is extremely bulky and looks more like a LMG. The combat rifle has an extremely similar model to the combat shotgun and uses .45 rounds. That's a pistol caliber, not a rifle caliber. The lever-action rifle in Far Harbour is really weird. It has a magazine capacity of five rounds, but when you fire two of them and hit your reload key, the character shoves five back in every time and works the lever, ejecting a live round from the chamber. Even Obsidian was able to avoid this in New Vegas. They had to jury-rig the engine to do it, but they made sure that the courier only reloads as many rounds as he or she needs to.

    The institute weapons are bad as well. The models are massive and take up a whole third of your screen. They do abysmal damage for laser weapons made by the most technologically advanced faction in the game. They were also designed so that Bethesda could re-use the regular laser weapon animations, which is really lazy when you think about it.

    Bethesda disregards the lore on multiple occasions. The first offender is T-60 suddenly appearing as a new set of pre-war power armour when it was clear that T-51 was the latest set before the bombs fell. Second is pre-war terminal entries about Jet, when its invention is part of a large subplot in Fallout 2. Next is the fact that a ghoulified child survived in a fridge without food and water for 210 years, when ghouls would previously die without water in Fallout 1. One more breach of the lore is the fact that there is a full set of Nuka Cola Quantum-themed X-01 (The Enclave's Advanced Power Armour) sealed in a pre-war case in Nuka World, when the Enclave's armour was first made in 2215.

    A lot of people hate the Creation Club system with a burning passion, but it's not very malicious in practice. It's just an overpriced microtransaction system with crappy items. Just look at the Doomguy armour. That's the worst offender.

    Overall, Fallout 4 isn't just a bad Fallout game, it's also a bad game.    … Expand

What I'm saying is, it's a concept and grounds to be built up on. It doesn't have the "RPG" we all wanted from the previous games, and then some.

    The way you could affect and impact the people around you with different choices would have made this game a 10/10 but also realising you can complete the game using the first gun, you obtain in-game just by using the "Scrounger Perk" and "Gunslinger Perk" and by the help of removing the repair guns mechanic from the game, it made it very easily to do so.

    All in all. Graphics, and Game-play (Combat) a major step up, but falls short of RPG elements and Story telling which gives this a 6/10 but the reason I give it a 5/10 is because personal, I had such high hopes.. Just to be disappointed, knowing what made this franchise just so great, which this game just doesn't have. More Choice's, Good and Bad. The impact of these choices, and the events that can occur with said choice. Just my opinion. Thanks for listening guys, appreciate it. :)    … Expand

    ... initially it was really hard and boring, I couldn't find the original feel I knew from Fallout 3 and Fallout :New Vegas. I didn't like the quests which were of standard Bethesda "go fetch" and "go kill" type.

    But then miracle happened: the main quest started to unfold and it turned out to be actually not bad at all. I must admit that final twist confused my feelings a lot (in a good way). Also, once I leveled up enough not to be killed in seconds it brought back curiosity and I started wandering around without fear :)

    So, let's start with cons:
    - lot's of standard, regular quests (it is not Witcher 3 unfortunately)
    - weird frame rate even on strong card, game feel sluggish
    - there is some weird problem with shooting things in FPS mode (no VATS), you should hit someone but because he moves fast you miss. Probably related to game being sluggish.
    -game quite linear despite having multiple endings

    Pros:
    - crafting system is step in the right direction, finally I had some use to all those cans and garbage. I enjoyed it
    - building mode was not bad, I especially enjoyed recycling my surroundings
    - weapon modding is actually useful
    - simplified perk system works good

I won't need to go on about this because there are THOUSANDS of reviews that spell it out but to sum it up in my own words I would say a failed vision. Instead of getting better or more interesting Fallout 4 feels like a downgrade that makes a failed attempt to bring back the old. The textures I'm afraid are a huge factor for me, they are terrible on the eyes even with new texture packs offered. The graphics along with laughable dialogue and tediously boring missions don't help tie together a sequel that had high expectations.

There were multiple reviews and attempts to compare F4 map size with F3 and I won't even comment on this. One thing for sure, this is not a Fallout game. This game is like a wolf in Fallout skin.

BUT as PC gamer I was discussed by this poor attempt of a game. I made a mistake and pre-purchase it (I think) and when I launched it for the 1st time I played for 1.5 hrs and then uninstalled the game for about a year or so.

    After that 12 months I heard about multiple MODs for Fallout4 PC so I decided to give it a go and I had the best time ever!

    If you are a Fallout fan, do not buy this. The map feels small, the loot system alongside weapon building is... very console like and the RPG system and the main story feels shallow.

    If you are looking for a game to fool around... you don't want to treat this seriously, then you will enjoy this. mods mods mods

    My favourite Fallout game to date.

    Why? Because I can basically make whatever experience I want with this game. Survival? Check. Shooter? Check. Base Builder? Check.

    It's not even that buggy, especially with the amazing modding community fixing stuff Bethesda can't be bothered to.

    Unfortunately, I never really felt like I was playing a meaningful, developing character influencing the world around him. This version of Fallout strips out what I enjoy about the game most: the RPG elements. I never felt like my own villain or hero (removing the karma system is a huge letdown), and the built-in voice acting and dialogue for the main character is largely hollow and uninteresting. Even after utilizing mods to make the dialogue choices mimic Fallout 3, the whole experience seemed impersonal and boring.

    Settlement building seems out-of-place and distracts from the urgency of an ultimately underwhelming main story. Overall, Fallout 4 chooses to go in a different direction instead of capitalizing on its predecessors' strengths, and what we're left with is just not as strong. That being said, it's a fun game with a lot of memorable moments, and the addicting gameplay of looting, pickpocketing, hacking, and being incredibly empowered in an intriguing wasteland is here.

    This game is bad. As a sandbox shooter loot-fest, it is great. However, as a dark RPG set in a post-post-apocalyptic world where your choices help shape the future, it is extremely pathetic.

    Like their predecessors Fallout 4 has an immersive history. Several factions and countless alternative stories make this game a fantastic experience. I will not discuss whether the story is better or worse than Fallout 3 or New Vegas which seems to me to have always been the main concern of the fans.

I know you think you're going to escape criticism on Steam by making a slow, shameful withdrawal from the platform, trying to erect your own shanty-town edifice on which to build your shameful Creation Club. But you can't escape me and you can't escape MetaCritic.

    As a game Fallout 4 is another solid release in the series. I genuinely enjoyed the added dimension of base-building that the game offered in settlements. Weapon and armor customization also injected a high degree of character customization into a franchise already renowned for it. Improvements to their follower NPC system are also welcome upgrades. The open world of Fallout 4's Boston is carefully crafted and exciting to explore.

    But the game has a hell of a lot to answer for as well. The complete gutting of the skill system, the unwanted simplification of the face editor through the removal of sliders, and the absolutely abhorrent Creation Club being chief among them. Bethesda's utterly cynical exploitation of the modding community has divided and cheapened it, and will poison the well for generations to come. Todd Howard's idiotic obsession with streamlining the games are, at this point, reducing them to point-and-click mobile games in term of simplicity, making them ever wider but more shallow. While these deficiencies are not enough to significantly detract from Fallout 4's quality as an open-world RPG in themselves they will have long-term negative effects for the franchise and for Bethesda, casting a lengthening shadow over subsequent releases in all their franchises.

Also in fallout 2 if you had intelligence 1 the dialogues where hilarious,Fallout 4 dosent have that.    review after 80 hours in(according to save file)

    Pros

    -Great visuals
    -great combat system

    Cons

    -where the Flying F to start. No special or perk tied actions in the game,like in fallout 2 you could tackle each quest if you had either high science or repair or whatever. Also in fallout 2 if you had intelligence 1 the dialogues where hilarious,Fallout 4 dosent have that.

    -dialogue options are either yes or no. FFS in the very first area concord if you talk to preston garvey and say no i wont help you the game will force you to accept his quest and help him oO

    -easy to miss half the game due to interesting stuff being in holotapes.Sadly when you pick the holotapes they dont autoplay so if you missed the name of the holotape good luck finding it in your inventory. No sort by last added either.

    -When you try to sell stuff you dont know what you gave the seller.Mega fail the selling system is going backwards at least 50 steps.

    -Game encourages exploration but if you arent meticulous you might skip interesting areas and miss upgrades to your attributes and skills. Or you could alt tab

    -Guess what bethesda dosent alt tab,you game will get messed and you will need to alt f4 yay

    -Hacking is useless in this game,If its something important theres a key nearby.Also to hack robots you not only need a perk,you also need to find a book in the wasteland and even then its totally useless. Boggles the mind how they did some stuff :/

    -Also some stuff cant be done while in power armor which means you must get out do your stuff get back in. Not a lot but enough to make one angry. Talk about shooting ones self in the leg here

    -Last but not least the option to make your town is good but would be better if you just got the materials and someone else handled it. Theres a mod for that but it the whole town feels like it was slapped in the game at the last second just cause

    -ghouls walk and act like they came from Doom,they re fast and also dodge,Not how ghools are supposed to work in the fallout universe

    so what grade to give this game.I d say a 4.If you gind a goty at 30 bucks or less its a good purchase.Otherwise stick with fallout 2.Those guys knew how to make a game, or try new vegas way better than fallout 3 or 4.    … Expand

    It has this wierd ass "book" that is trash you can just like that put your add SPECIAL points just by leveling up which is wrong! When you level up you should choose your skills or your perks and you can choose to put an interesting perk or decide to add that SPECIAL point if you realy need it!

    The gameplay has shurely improved it's the best in the fallout series and its one of the best things in the game which is the gameplay that is very well made and I realy enjoy it you can customize your gun to make it more powerfull and the depth for you guns is well made.

    the map is very big and its very well made exploring it is very rewarding and they are some realy nice little quests to enjoy. I like exploring every part of it there are well places items hidden trough out the map of Fallout 4 which is very impressive!

    the companions are not good sincerely they are pretty bad (unless dog meat) I mean they are useless they either get mad at you for beeing a bad guy and leave you after doing something bad and don't help you much at all in combat. Its a waste of stimpacs if you decide to use it on them.

    The story OH GOD the story! You are a father of a son and the son gets kidnapped and you have to find him. WAW the creativity! i bet that they looked at Fallout 3 and sayd let's just change it! That's a great idea Bob I love it!. Its horrible let's be honest not good at all not even mediocre in my opinion.
    You can't even choose what to do its just a straight line one way or another even if your mean sarcastic or nice nothing changes which brings me to my other point which is that you can't choose what to say. The only choose you have to say is: 1. Question, 2. Agree, 3. Mean, 4. Sarcastic. That's all 4 **** CHOICES TO SAY?!?!?!?!? WHAT THE **** WHERE THE **** IS THE FREEDOM OF CHOOSING YOUR WAY OH YEAH SORRY THERE IS NONE!

    Its a great shooter. Terrible RPG.
    Immersive story. That it doesnt let you play. (GENERAL WE HAVE A SETTLEMENT THAT NEEDS HELP)
    Funny, dramatic, nice, mean, great. Barely. The social options are severely lacking. Things you choose do not translate well to what actually gets said. NOR does it have the intended effect, if you've been in that conversation and picked .. ya know what, this    Its a great shooter. Terrible RPG.

NOR does it have the intended effect, if you've been in that conversation and picked .. ya know what, this game has already been reviewed a million times so instead of an objective review I'll just be honest.
    This game isnt fallout. The social aspects dont matter at all, the companions are fluff and garbage, for the most part, the enemies look great, shoot great but are craptastic ~ too easy or too hard, cant make up its mind.

    Music is ripped from older games, sound effects belong in call of duty. Visuals are nice, but now its no longer an RPG with half a$$ed action elements, its action with half a$$ed RPG elements.
    The game doesnt let you play it and when you get hyped for any.. ANY part of it, you get shat on. The settlement building is useless, they wont defend themselves, and whether you actively try to 'break' the game by overgrowing cash crops... crisscrossing the wasteland with your unkillable transports to act as random infantry backups.. or just want extra places to store your gear, it makes it insanely easy. At least on the upper half of the map. You FINALLY get some decent difficulty once you get downtown, but by then you've spent SO much time up north and doing sidequests that it honestly makes the story pretty stupid. You jumped out of your cryochamber in the future to find your son but you got sidetracked for days.. WEEKS at a time doing go-fer fetch-me-everything-AND-KILL-THOSE-GUYS quests for people not worth your time.
    Even if you get over the fact that settlements dont dfend themselves, and you have all the DLC.. you'll find the settlement size limit to be pretty obnoxious, and the game breaking/ IMMERSION breaking bugs are EVERYDANGITWHERE.    … Expand

    Mediocre Game and an Insult to every Fallout-Veteran. Still better than F76 tho. DONT BUY!

    Not bad looter-shooter, but mediocre rpg and bad successor to Fallout franchise.
    The worst part is that story is very forgattable.
    I still remambre events from Fallout 1 ;2 and New Vegas, but nothing from this game (outside of modded Enclave rebuilding story).

    The story was not as good as Fallout 3, but the feel of combat feels a bit better, and hey the graphics are good. I wish bethesda would have worked a bit more on the story as it felt too short and shallow. But, I still do play it every now and again because I'm addicted to the looting in their games. Companion AI is often wonky, but there are mods for nearly every part of the game, so ifThe story was not as good as Fallout 3, but the feel of combat feels a bit better, and hey the graphics are good.

Companion AI is often wonky, but there are mods for nearly every part of the game, so if you really want to, you can transform Fallout 4 into a much better version that current day vanilla.

    As a side note, while I don't defend the developers or the greedy parent company that controls them, I do understand that as with all releases, there was most likely a schedule they had to meet and so compromises were probably made in order to satisfy the powers at be resulting in a decent but not superb game.

    В целом на 5 из 10, сделано плохо. Графика, эти мини анимации миссий в пип-бое, создание города могло бы увлечь сильно, но мир на "отвали".

    I hated every moment of this game. I was expecting a game filled with action, but instead it is an adventure game with lame quests and dialogues. It was also a freaking mission to do basic things like setting the resolution. Terrible game. I'll only trust the user scores from now on. I know that for sure.

    After years, this game is still too enjoyable. With mods, graphics looks very cool. If you start it to just try, you may not like. Start to enjoy it, not just play. Make it your own game.

    One tiny step forward from Fallout 3, one GIANT leap back from Fallout New Vegas. The hype has completely worn off, I can clearly see Fallout 4 for what it is. Dull.

    Fallout 3 made the world fun to explore. Fallout New Vegas made the world fun to be part of. Fallout 4 made the world shallow, repetitive, generic, and boring. Do you want a shallow, shoot 'em up, generic, dull (but    One tiny step forward from Fallout 3, one GIANT leap back from Fallout New Vegas. The hype has completely worn off, I can clearly see Fallout 4 for what it is. Dull.

    Fallout 3 made the world fun to explore.
    Fallout New Vegas made the world fun to be part of.
    Fallout 4 made the world shallow, repetitive, generic, and boring.

    Do you want a shallow, shoot 'em up, generic, dull (but vibrant game world), game lacking any depth where everyone wants you dead? *sigh* Fallout 4 is for you!
    Do you want a clunky but memorable experience? Fallout 3 GOTY and Fallout New Vegas UE are for you! Install Tale of Two Wastelands, profit. Play a game of caravan, stop by Agatha's house and say hi, that crazy lady in Girdershade wants all the Quantums? Moira wants you to do what in Minefield? FULLY-ERECT HAND PENISES! "You got lives in you, hard to kill. Storm, bullets, sand and wind, yet still you walk. For now." GARY!

    The Good:
    The Colors and the general atmosphere look so much better than Fallout 3 and NV.
    Huge vastly detailed and dense game world.
    Gun play is better.
    No Level cap.
    Easy Looting.
    Junk is now somewhat useful.
    3 of the companions are somewhat memorable. The rest are just boring.
    Dynamic Weather, shadows, lighting, and Physical Based Rendering.
    Beautiful animations

    The Bad:
    Ron Perlman does not say: War. War Never Changes.
    No FOV controls in game.
    No way to disable Head Bobbing.
    No visible holstered weapons like in previous games.
    Advanced graphics options have been completely gutted
    Quests are pretty much this: Go here, kill everything, take loot, return. What is this an MMO?!?
    Radio stations are pretty much meh. I miss Three Dog.
    You have to be the good guy, not the bad guy or the neutral/independent guy like in Fallout New Vegas.
    Oversimplified dialog system, you now have 4 options to choose from. With no indication of exactly what you’re going to say.
    Oversimplified RPG mechanics. Violence was often avoidable depending on your skills.
    Survival difficulty. No Console, saving is disabled. UGH.
    Almost all the NPCs are essential. In Fallout NV you had that fear of losing a companion during a battle.
    Settlement building is meh. It’s clunky and hard to place objects.
    Lots of boarded up nonexplorable buildings.
    Only one or two memorable fun quests that don’t feel like a grind.
    Why does everything want me dead?

    The Ugly:
    Complete lack of interesting locations with quests and unique named NPCs that have a story to tell.
    Fallout 4: Diamond City, Covenant, Vault 81, and Goodneighbor. Everywhere else just feels empty and lifeless.
    Fallout 3: Megaton, Rivet City, Arefu, Little Lamplight, Bigtown, Paradise Falls, Andale, Oasis, The Republic of Dave, Temple of the Union, Girdershade, The Citadel, Hell even downtown DC: The Washington Monument, Underworld, Lincoln Memorial. *Takes deep breath* Did I miss any? Yup, Ranger Compound, Grayditch, Dokov's Place, Tenpenny Tower, Meresti Metro, Canterbury Commons, Regulator HQ, Minefield, Vault 108, GARY!
    All of these locations have at least a population of 1, a quest, a story, a NAMED NPC, an NPC that doesn’t want you dead on sight, and most important of all depth. OK, ok yes GARY and Arkansas both want you to be very dead. The important thing to remember here is both those locations are memorable in some way shape or form.
    Fallout 3 has all these great locations with NAMED NPCs that have a backstory or a quest to give you.
    Forced to use the settlement system.
    Raiders! Raiders everywhere.
    Perk system overhaul and removal of skills.
    Fallout 3 has really beautiful water reflections and refraction. The water in Fallout 4 is flat and dull.
    Interior lighting is completely meh…. I see lots of round low poly shadow caster lights. Lights that don’t match the fixture. Ugly directional lights. Lights bleeding. Phantom lights.
    Tone Mapping. Adds an overexposed look and washes out some colors.
    The Season Pass. Fallout 3 has 5 DLCs, ALL good. Fallout New Vegas has 4 DLCs ALL good. Fallout 4 has what? 2 story based DLCs. Far Harbor: good. Nuka World: Raiders? Settlement DLC? Nope, just noooope. DO NOT WANT. Build a settlement, now what? Look at it, take screenshots, post on reddit? There is nothing to do, no one interesting to meet. ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP! UGH, what is it this time? Raiders on the other side of the map stole your socks?!? K thx bye. In Fallout New Vegas you could have a pet AND a human companion follow you around. It makes sense that you could have let's say Piper and Dogmeat follow you around. But NOOOOO you only get one. Graphically, Fallout 4 is a TES5 reskin with a crappy ENB thrown in. YUCK! TAA looks god awful. Obsidian’s writing is better than Bethesda’s. Obsidian could do it better in half the time it took Bethesda. Just like with Fallout New Vegas, they made it in what 18 months? Imagine for a minute if Obsidian had 4 years to work on Fallout New Vegas… OMG.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love fallout, all of them, and sadly 4 is my least favorite, it's not by dar a bad game it's a good game but the only thing that reminds you of fallout is the lore and some weapons. The game scraps a lot of features that defined fallout being the more notable the fact that our protagonist speaks and he has already a background. Courier 6 has a background but it's one you discover while playing and it's enough that you get and idea of his past but no who he is, bc in NV you are the courier and you decide who is the courier, that can't be said about NATE/NORA bc whe alredady now they are a Housband/Wife from before the bombs fall who lived almost all theyre lives without nedding to survive or make hard decisions, that already tons down the role possibilities but when in top of that, the dialogue is a joke, we don't now what the protagonist is gonna say bc we only have 4 options that are always: Sarcastic, Agrresive, Question, Affable. To add to the problem of this game the story is really meh, in the new factions we have the Minutemen or well A Minutemen Preston you can at least decide if you want to help him regroup the minute men. The railway has more importance in this game wich is really cool and we finally see the institue : D. And it's really lame sadly, you can predict whats gonna happen the moment you enter Diamond city, i really didn't care about Shaun but even if i didn't care about him Nate/Nora does and that was a role killing feature really. Its really funny seeing how Fallout 76 has a more interesting questiine thanks to Wastelanders. Next time whe see a fallout, probably in 2028? or even more i hope they learn from what works in the old fallout games, and take some things from the new ones, but definetly please don't repeat this mess.… Expand

    Thank God that Bethesda has updated the engine and the graphics have become much better. The plot is not bad, the endings are different, but they are made with soul. I like the mode of any pumping, repairing weapons and armor, and you can also build objects from all kinds of garbage.
    Dialogues are terrible done

    Fallout 4 is a bad Fallout game and it not that good of a game in general. Fallout 4 is mostly a FPS game with a few RPG mechanics. the game have a lot of bugs. I don't like that there's no level cap.

    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]
