    The graphics won’t blow you away, the side quests and scale of the game will.

    The world, exploration, crafting, atmosphere, and story of Fallout 4 are all key parts of this hugely successful sandbox role-playing game. Great new reasons to obsessively gather and hoard relics of happier times, strong companions, and sympathetic villains driving tough decisions make it an adventure I’ll definitely replay and revisit

    Unsurprisingly, Fallout 4 is closer to Fallout 3 than it is to the former episodes. And it comes with all the qualities and problems we already know. But Fallout 4 belongs to this hypnotizing kind of games that you should not miss if you love Western RPGs.

    It really does feel like Fallout 3 with slightly nicer graphics and a few mods (like “homebase customization”) thrown in, and while Fallout 4 has everything that made the last game great it has all the weaknesses too, like a terrible inventory menu, stiff character models, interior locations requiring loading screens, and more. Fallout 4 is an amazing game that I doubt anyone will be disappointed by, but it’s not unique. And I still prefer New Vegas.

    After 200 years in cryostasis you will find everything in ruins, beasts and monsters (human and nonhuman alike) run amok and there are more weapons than in a Michael Bay movie. In short it is a vivid world to explore in which no one can hold a decent dialogue.

    The fact that it's heavier on combat than stats is sure to annoy RPG classicists, but the fact that the combat is fantastic helps a lot. So, too, does the intriguing world, the excellent characters, the hidden secrets, and the difficult decisions.

    Bethesda has laid solid and at times spectacular groundwork for an awesome game. I look forward to another developer building on it.

    -For the first time in a Bethesda game you can create a Skinny, Muscular, or Fat character.
    -The animations are really slick, the best I've seen from Bethesda so far.
    -The gunplay feels nice and tight, and you now have the option to melee attack with firearms.
    -There's tons of crafting in the game from cooking to chemistry to upgrading gear to building.
    -Different armor is available for each limb, it's not just bodysuits like in Fallout 3.
    -The perk chart is well done and perks have requirements before they can be levelled up.

I think the physics glitches are funny and I need a good laugh after a big shoot out sometimes. I have played over 20 hrs so far and have had no crashes or problems. My main complaint is the talking.. there isn't the diversity that the others had nor can you command your companions as easily. Expand

    Too many elements are missing for this to be a great game. NV was pretty good and every detail in that game that made it better than F3 hasToo many elements are missing for this to be a great game. NV was pretty good and every detail in that game that made it better than F3 has been ignored. Games too easy, to focused around combat, perks are essentially gone, town building is pointless and designed by retards, facial models are from 2002, RPG elements -such as talking people out of a fight are completely random or missing. The game is fun, and with a lot of modding, patching and DLC may be great one day, but currently it's not. Expand

It becomes boring to play.
    Also I want to note lag of dialogues in the Russian version when some characters speak.
    As a result: game not failure, but also and also doesn't show something outstanding, fascinating.

    And it was exciting, just to know that a Fallout-4 was coming.
    They showed the voice-over feature of our character.
    Nice looking graphics...
    The curious start of the game, running to the vault....Showing us how everything started...
    All good stuff...

    Yet they did not tell us that all this, was going to be presented in a stupified game mechanic, which is not Fallout, yet another scripted version of Call of Duty.
    I have no qualms with CoD, I actually love it. It plays out as if you are watching a nice action movie.
    But this is Fallout, not CoD.
    If I wanna play CoD, I will go buy CoD.
    Imagine your beloved CoD to become a hardcore strategy-rpg with immense and complicated skill system, side quests, open world etc... Imagine CoD to become a totally different game than the one you loved before...

    Imagine your disappointment...
    And now respect mine... Thank you
