    This was the first game made by Bethesda that I ever had, so i didn't really know what to expect. While full of bugs and glitches, its such an enjoyable game being able to create and modify items and settlements. I shall certainly get the next fallout game which comes out! Shouldn't have finished it that quickly though.

    War, War never changes, but has Fallout?

    Fallout 4 looks amazing, everything from the lighting to the water effects just blows me away. The animations have been tightened up from the last game and help make the world around you feel alive. I have to say that I love seeing my character popping in holotapes to play them or climbing into a suit of power armour.

    The apparel now works on a layer system, so you have a thin outfit and attach pieces of armour on top of that. I think the new system works very well and allows for a lot more diversity in gameplay as well as appearance. Power armour is now an item you are able to climb in and out of at will and makes you much stronger. The pay off for this is that you need to find fusion cores to power your suit. Fusion cores are just rare enough and offer a fantastic reason to explore the map.

    Another new feature is the ability to build up your own settlements which will need defending and looking after. I think this is the thing I have spent the most time doing as I love to build up my own little safe spots. Town building requires you have junk to use as materials and this means you will be searching the wasteland for junk in order to build up your towns more. This is a fun feature and adds a whole new layer to the classic Fallout gameplay.

    The last positive thing I want to mention is the fact that Fallout 4 allows you to be polyamorous and this is amazing. I love that this opens up the game for role-playing so much more, you can read my full opinion on this here.

    I suppose now that I have made this game out to be Jesus it's time to talk about the bits I don't like.

    My biggest issue with Fallout 4 is how your character's backstory stops you being able to role-play as well as earlier games. I wanted my character to be a polyamorous gay bad-ass but instead I was forced to mention my son and husband which I didn't care about. Bethesda please learn from Obsidian and give us a motivation but minimal history like in Fallout New Vegas.

    The intro sets up the male character as an ex-soldier and the female as a lawyer but no matter if you play as male or female you will have experience and training with combat and power armour. I dislike this as it shows the designers expected you to play as the male lead which creates some plot holes if you play as female, which could have been easily avoided. I had hoped in 2016 I would not need to remind people that not all gamers are male.

    I do love Fallout 4 and would recommend it however it has its flaws and is not the best Fallout game in my opinion.

    7 out of 10.

    Um game que parecia que superaria os jogos anteriores, porém o jogo inteiro se resume basicamente em refúgios e assentamentos. Não foi um fiasco total, porém poderia ter sido muito melhor. As DLCs não adicionam grandes quantidades de novos elementos e metade das dlcs são voltadas á assentamentos.

    Narrativa o historia: Entretenido, hay misiones que son muy buenas, te enfrentas a bestias enormes y tu decides la forma de eliminarlos con o sin sivor armadura, me esperaba un poco mas sobre la trama de la historia, las decidiones que tomas afectan hasta cierto punto, pero no son cambios tan raidcales, el modo construccion es muy bueno, aunque lamentablemente no disfrute en plenitud, ya que en consola no pude cargar ningun mod, eran de pago ;(
    La banda sonora es increible, poder disfrutar de la radio mientras haces y planeas tus misiones. es lo mas detacable para mi.
    Recomiendo jugarlo en PC, ya que hay una diferencia notoria graficamente y podras disfrutar con los mods que quieras.

    This game isn't bad it's mediocre it tries to be something it's not and gives you a barebones store with a lack luster world with a radio that has recycled music with only a few new tunes and worst off it gives you really lame partners and at most this game has decently going for it is the mod inspired building because everything else gets really... linear and repetitive. This game is trying to be a Mass Effect it's trying to be a Witcher and it fails overall I wouldn't say this is an extremely bad game but again it's not a good fallout game the leveling is... pretty bad the guns feel better I will give I that but aside from minor things this game feels like it took one step forward and two steps back so I'll give this a 5 out of 10.    … Expand

    I bought a PS4 recently to play every game that ive missed for the last generation.
    I Started with Fallout 4 because i loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I gave a 6 for this game because Fallout 4 is just a terrible "remaster" of Fallout 3, so if you have played and loved FO3, you should find this one a disapointement.

    1. I love it! The gameplay is smooth, solid, feels satisfying shooting guns and collecting loot. The actual core-mechanics and leveling up system is pretty good this time. Not as deep, or dense, as the OG, but definitely good. Building bases is kinda fun. I love the environment and setting. I mean, it's basically fallout 3...but better looking? Also has nice gameplay elements.
    2. Wait! Is this basically a grind-fest-looter-shooter...why are the main quests and side-quests all feel repetitive and annoying. Um, it's got some alright moments. But like, hmmm, I'm getting BORED FAST.
    3. **** this! **** What are these repetitive randomly generated **** quests? Why is the narrative so weak? **** the Companions, they are annoying (and also pointless) What does this game even want to be??? WHY IS IT A **** LOOTER SHOOTER!!!!!!! WTF !!!! I just...I guess I'm done with the game. Thank God. Moving on.

    These are my opinions on Fallout 4. It's a fallout looter shooter w light RPG elements and annoying repetitive generated quests. Gets really Dull after about 20 hours of gameplay. None of the factions are that interesting either! I also Really REALLY missed (and hate) what they do with the Insitute.It's all boring...I really missed the Enclave. Also having a voiced character is **** DUMB and takes away from the immersive elements of these games. **** dumb.

    The early days of the PS4 were an ugly time for games and Fallout 4 is no exception. In 2021, the Fallout 4 looks and plays even worse compared modern gaming, but the SSD in a PS5 is a savior to get through the game's many loading screens. You experience on an old PS4 may vary.

In 2021, the Fallout 4 looks and plays even worse compared modern gaming, but the SSD in a PS5 is a savior to get through the game's many loading screens. You experience on an old PS4 may vary.

    Fallout 4 looks bad. Compare it to The Witcher 3 and there is no contest. Compare it to Fallout 3 and you wonder what Bethesda had been doing for 7 years. It's not just the lighting, character models, and ever present green hue. The game recycles models from Fallout 3 and itself, over and over, so you really have no idea where you are or what the landscape is supposed to be. The character models and faces are indeed terrible. Enemies are completely uninteresting and all wear variations of the same types of armor. The dialogue options are just as generic and dialogue options rarely, if ever, have an impact on the game.

    Fallout 4 also plays bad. The V.A.T.S. system from Fallout 3 returns without any apparent changes. (Was this entire game planned as DLC for Fallout 3?) Players can queue up attacks in a way that briefly turns battles into turn based encounters. I like V.A.T.S. as an alternative for RPG fans who are not saavy with shooters. However, if you are saavy with shooters, the live action gunplay is garbage. I don't expect a Bethesda game to play as smooth as a Bungie game, but at least nail the fundamentals of slowing down the reticle speed as you near the target. Or put another way, playtest your game with a controller and not a keyboard and mouse! I found that cover and sidestepping made no difference with enemies. You stand (or crouch) your ground and shoot until all enemies are dead. Every battle is like a war of attrition. Whether you go melee or guns, V.A.T.S. or live action, the gameplay has to pause every thirty seconds to a minute while you scroll through a menu to use a health item.

    By the way, I have not got gotten to the worst part. The game forces players to build settlements and manage the settlers. At first, I thought this idea was a little tacked on but had intriguing implications. Those fine thoughts were dispelled as soon as the game forced me to assign a settler to work a water pump. There is no overarching menu screen for this. You cannot boot up a version of Fallout Shelter on your phone. Instead, you clumsily enter crafting mode, highlight a settler with your reticle, and then highlight the item you want the settler to work. If you do not set up your settlements well enough, they will be constantly attacked by enemies. The attacks will show up as quest objects and you can help if you want. Don't. The attacks never end and you will never actually finish the game if you go down the base building, base defending rabbit hole. The entire settlement system and the defense of settlements looks from the outside like a great way to pad playtime so the game looks bigger than it really is.

    The settlement and crafting system seems very 2015. Minecraft was incredibly successful back then and many games were jumping on the crafting bandwagon. Fallout seems like a good series to add crafting because you make do with the resources left behind. But not this kind of crafting. Not a chore. Adding insult to injury, every building you craft looks a ramshackle shack. No matter how you design a giant mansion for yourself, it will always look like a monstrosity. Why not just move into one of the cookie cutter office buildings that are still standing?

    Fallout 4 does allow mods on the PS4 to change the playing experience. I saw some that make collecting items and thus base building easier by removing the carry limit. This is especially important because all settlement structures require parts that have to be salvaged, and it sucks to make multiple trips to carry it all. Various other mods solve the settlement defense problem. The downsides to mods are breaking the game and losing access to trophies. The game is already a sandbox that is essentially made to be broken. This is the only reason I play these kinds of RPGs. If I wanted a good shooting game, a good building game, or a good story game, I would play almost anything else.

    All-in-all, Fallout 4 is a crap game. Playing it more does not make it better. All I really want is for Skyrim and The Witcher 3 to have a baby, and let me make my own character in a world that looks as good as The Witcher 3 and has the quality storytelling of The Witcher 3. Bethesda games are the best in their niche if only because they are the only games in that niche. To be clear about the effect of this, I waited this long to buy Fallout 4 because of how disappointed I was with the game trailers and previews. Quality matters.

    Update: I finished the main story and my opinions are unchanged. A dud is a dud.

    Full Disclosure: I downloaded Fallout 4 for "free" with the PS+ collection on PS5. Not only did I not pay $60 for this game, I also did not suffer long loading times.    … Expand

    This is a solid game all around, yes it isn't as good as Skyrim for a number of reasons;

    --Nameless NPCs to 'flesh out' cities
    --Lack of location variety
    --Obvious copy and pasted areas
    --More bland infinitely generated quests

    But it does come with a bunch of upgrades

    --you don't have to level up a perk to unlock a perk, you are free as long as you meet the level requirement for that stat
    --you don't have to go into a menu to loot containers and bodies
    --your followers all have their own backstories, and as they get to like you they reveal a little bit of it here and there, until they ask you to go on a quest with them!
    --completing said follower quest unlocks a perk
    --there are multiple factions that actually oppose each other, you can't just join them all

    There are also times it seems Bethesda didn't care about the game. When you clear out a location to build a settlement, the dead bodies stay there forever, and I am playing in 2021. You'll be addicted and frustrated. It feels so annoying and passive aggressive when they force a random event "kill some people for no real reason" missions to be selected and pop up on your HUD.    … Expand

    After a strong start, Fallout 4 fails to stablish a strong storyline due to a weak diaogue system.
    Although its open world is beautifully well done, missions become chores, and few of the sidequests remain memorable on the long run. Other pros are settlements and weapon crafting system.

When you ad the option to create or customise weapons you cannot forget to add 1000's of blueprints as basically you tell us to create something, but we are very limited. Which is a bit silly. Characters and charisma/talking are broken. Game feels bland.… Expand

    14 months and a ton of patches, and crashes later, I've finished the main story and too many quests of this AAA Early Access.
    I didn't bought the overpriced DLC, the game already has a lot of content and areas to explore. I was expecting something more polished, taking into account that the engine is from a game more than 5 years old.
    If you want the GOTY on rpg category, search elsewhere.

Note to game developers, if I have to look up online and have a 3rd/4th party explain to me how an important mechanic in your game works like Radiation or "Rad levels", YOU FAILED.

    I have no idea what I'm suppose to be doing in game, in a made up alternative world, other than feeling bad about my wife/husband being killed by someone for unknown reasons (At the start), and I'm suppose to be tracking down the killer/kidnapper.

    The game could have been good, I can see where it could have been good, but it just falls flat with a resounding "FLOP".

    Save your money rent this game before you buy it and see if you will actually enjoy it or not. My experience may differ from yours but when I pick up a game with "Bethesda" as the maker, I EXPECT better.    … Expand

    Some of the good points of the game are the great quantity and variety of places to explore as well as the new way of building settlements and personalization of weapons that undoubtedly were the mechanics with which I had the most fun.

    Now what about the negative part of the game that most caught my attention was the repetitiveness of the quests mainly from side quests that are almost entirely composed of go somewhere and kill a bunch of invaders or mutants, another thing that disappointed me a lot was The story of Fallout 4 that tries to be profound in the plot of a father in search of his kidnapped son, but that fails miserably in giving us a sense of urgency or attachment to the plot.

    In my opinion this failure is due to the lack of charisma and development of the characters that often appear to have no personality or life of their own as if their existence depended solely on serving the main character making most of the characters in the game easily forgettable except for A few exceptions like Nick Valentine, the synthetic who works as a private detective in Diamond City with a noir style that charms everyone, and the butler robot Codsworth who served the family of his character before the war and that was the 200 years in which you were frozen Care of your old home.

    Finally I can say that Fallout 4 is a good game in the direction of bring us much content, however with some errors and bugs dated and failing to surprise and overcome their predecessors becoming repetitive from a certain point other than Skyrim that until the days Has a lot to offer and certainly does not match the great RPGs of this generation like The Witcher 3 and Dragon Age inquisition. Summarizing Fallout 4 is worth to playing but is not a priority in RPG or worth a full price.    … Expand

It's a shame really because Fallout 4 had every right to be as great as the previous, but the game suffered at launch with not only technical issues, but other issues in terms of writing, plot, character arcs and all sorts mechanic decisions that just brings the base game down significantly. To add a town builder in the game was like Bethesda was more interested in getting Sims and Minecraft players involved and adding that with the Disney-style aesthetics to the Fallout Boy and its world, it really feels like a game more driven for the wrong crowd.

    Is Fallout 4 fun? Absolutely. The combat is the best of the 3 and the use of modifications introduced in New Vegas and improved on in 4 is really awesome. Add a crafting system that New Vegas (and Skyrim) had done and be more versatile with it in this really makes playstyles vary even more and creates better experiences. The power suits are great to fight in, but comes at a cost of not being as prolific as how you got them previously, where you had to progress pretty far in the game in order to earn it (like a right of passage). 4 just gives it almost as soon as you step out of your vault and into Concord.

    Fallout 4 has alot for you to do, but nothing really feels as compelling at all (bar a few quests of course). Even Far Harbor and Nuka World barely try to throw you new stuff that feels interesting. If you are a diehard fan of the Fallout series you will (or already have) bought this game, but for those onlookers who see this game and wonder it's worth a buy I would have to say no. It's very unpolished, graphics are lacking, story is terrible, content feels repetitive and not that interesting. It was basically Bethesda trying to make Skyrim again, but failed to realized it was Fallout and how different those games are despite both being made by them.    … Expand

The Level Up system is also incredibly silly, basically letting you become Grand Master of Everything if you spend enough time doing so.

    That being said the gameplay is incredibly improved over previous games, shooting feels much better and weapon customization is great, along with the option to build your own settlements.

I have good memories of fallout 3 and for me, that was a new franchise I discovered and was looking forward for the next installments. After, for some reasons, I wasn't able to get into Fallout New Vegas and I stopped after a few hours.

I have good memories of fallout 3 and for me, that was a new franchise I discovered and was looking forward for the next installments. After, for some reasons, I wasn't able to get into Fallout New Vegas and I stopped after a few hours.

    Now, almost 8 years later, I was wondering if I should give Fallout 4 a try. I'm glad I did. It reminded me a lot Fallout 3 but with positive improvements. Now, let's explain why I give it 7/10 which is a little bit low compared to the other AAA games I review here.

    First, I think the ratings could vary a lot among players depending of how the bugs and glitches impacted your playthrough. For me, it almost made me quit the game after the first 10 hours. There's a whole faction I couldn't do because of a bug in Concord involving Preston, one of the main characters. So there is a lot of XP i couldn't get and I think this faction was really important (it's the first one and give you the first important missions). That' s why also I finished the main story a bit underleveled (L44). So, depending of each player's experience, I understand any ratings between 5 and 9 (the 6,7 average sounds fair)

    I decided to continue my playthrough and after, the real fun began. Even though the engine Bethesda uses is really old, I had a blast playing this game and killing super mutants, hacking terminals and lockpicking doors. The companion system is great also.

    Here are a few cons:
    1. The graphics are disappointing. (not a significant improvement if we compare to Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas)
    2. Ridiculous long loading times
    3. The shooting is a bit janky
    4. The ending is weak

    Final thoughts: There is a lot of meat in this game and you will have value for what you pay. You should give it a try if you can accept the bugs and cope with that. This is a good RPG and the open world is more organic than a lot of actual AAA open world games.    … Expand

    Fun way to pass the time but it's more of a sandbox for me than a real game. I haven't been bothered to do the main quest, which isn't very engaging. The combat system is meh and, while the game looks better than its predecessors, it's still relatively flat.
    However, the open world remains fun to explore and the sheer amount of side quests make it worth playing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fallout 4, when you get down it, is a game that achieves everything it sets out to do, its just that what it aims to be is another unambitious open-world adventure. The vanilla game itself runs well, though when there are any hiccups they are extremely noticeable but not game-breaking, same with the glitches which are, from my experience, almost entirely graphical. The game also tries to tell a narrative with multiple paths, which is maybe the most unengaging because of the plain dumb plot and the lack of significant story interaction. Progressing the story requires quest completion, which means completing simple tasks like killing enemies or interacting with something or someone, which isn't always terribly interesting but almost always clear to the player thanks to quest markers, though ultimately the entire game is just following the way point and making a lot of the same interactions. Combat is the game's greatest strength, every weapon feel great to use in bouts but a lot of the enemies you'll be fighting aren't all that interesting, with illusionary battle tactics from most of your combatants, they all may as well fight like Space Invaders. Players can also customize their abilities with perks, which is honestly just fine, their fun enough even the useless ones. Something new to Fallout is settlement building and crafting system, which sucks and is the most boring aspect, for some people along with me at least especially because its lacking and shoe-horned importance. Another big part of the game is the huge explorable open-world, which is incredibly detailed and is almost entirely filled with interesting locations, however some of the things you find or have do in these places may not really be all that interesting, Getting around to these places is easy with fast-travel, but I feel like a lot of the loading screens from doing so slow down the pace with later game loading taking significantly longer, i feel this wouldn't be a issue if the area around the locations was just more interesting same with the interior exits on to seemingly empty (but almost always) roof areas. As a whole the game is fine, if you like this sort of thing then play Fallout 4 but if you don't then prepare to be shutting the game off when your attention shifts to anything that isn't as dull.… Expand

    The Fallout series was famous for interesting quests, dialogues, locations and the number of ways to resolve the conflict, but not by shooting and construction.

    But I want to say that the players have done a great job. There are many modifications on the Internet that fix the errors of the original game. It is even possible to find modifications for interesting missions, since the missions in the original are very boring and monotonous in the "go and fetch" style. For Fallout 4 with mods, this game would get 8/10 from me.    … Expand

The shooting feels completely different from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and for the first time, I feel like shooting my way out of a situation is more fun than talking through dialogue. Now that the positives are out of the way, I have to say that Bethesda really ruined what they had began to build up within the series. They've oversimplified nearly every RPG element that made the last two games fun and exciting. The dialogue system lacks any real depth and the fact that they added voice acting to the protagonist makes it feel less like I made my own unique character, and more like Bethesda made one for me and I just happen to be able to control him. The leveling up system is no longer enjoyable either, and the writing and plot are so bad and downright insulting to the intelligence of the player that it feels like Bethesda just gave up caring. Fallout 3 was a love letter to the original Fallout games, while this felt like it was just an excuse for Bethesda to keep their hands onto the Fallout IP.… Expand

    Fun, at times a bit repetitive and a little tiring, Fallout 4 is an overall enjoyable, relaxed and intriguing action RPG. I'm not a big fan of the franchise, but the story and its characters are very fun, very interesting to learn more about. The game, just like other Bethesda games, has its quirky, buggy, but build-with-love DNA.

    Fallout 4 engages you by its graphically astonishing, beautiful, dangerous and unforgiving world. But falls short on providing depth to what looks superficially engaging.
    How ironic it may sound, the game's achilles heel are its predecessors and its Bethesda's peers, that made more with less.
    The game still provides you with a good open world RPG experience.

    Fallout 4 is an amazing game. Seriously it's very good but it has also lots of issues. First is poor optimization on PS4. Second, map is unreasonably big and side missions always repeat themselves. It gets boring after a point. In a dense area or a large shootout fps drops to somewhere near 22.

Satisfaction and musics are great. Graphics are good for its era. Most fun part is ability to hold and move anything (if not very heavy) like moving props in gmod. Game is based on looting and crafting system. Number of items in game is unbelievable. Story is amazing and attractive. Player can get the feeling of revenge easily. World of Fallout 4, Commonwealth, is huge and almost every part is filled with enemies, secrets, missions, and etc. Perks are fun. Leveling up and investing points in base perks unlock other perks connected to them. Father and son feeling is at point. Almost everything is great but again, bugs.. It feels a little unfinished. For example when talking to an NPC, it draws out gun out of nowhere or walks away while talking and cuts conversation which means you need to start conversation again from beginning. Anyway, post apocalyptic world feeling, atmosphere is great but as i said it feels "uncooked".… Expand

    Las misiones secundarias se reducen todas a lo mismo, ir a buscar a algo o alguien a un lugar y matar saqueadores, mutantes u otros enemigos y la mayoría no tienen ningún trasfondo ni nada que te atrape, cosa que no pasa con otros títulos de la franquicia.
    La dificultad aunque puede ajustarse me parece bastante ridícula, y a nada que buscas te encuentras con armas o trajes que te facilitan demasiado la aventura.
    Es muy fácil buguear al personaje intentando entrar, colarte o saltar por sitios que a simple vista parecen accesibles,
    Los gráficos me parecen bastante por debajo de la media en su época aunque esto se lo de menos se nota y bastante.
    Pero aunque tiene bastantes cosas negativas también tiene muchas otras positivas como el sistema de construcción de asentamientos, el de módulos de armas o el arbol de habilidades que no estaban en anteriores juegos.

    Fallout 4 leans to the Shooting side of things. It strips down the gameplay from the actual RPG elements and offers a meta-nuclaer shooting gallery which of course keep its charm and gameplay wealth but also feels a little too friendly for the new comers. The Base builder mode is unnecessary, boring and irritating. Unfortunately, overall, there are no steps forward for this Nuclear Holocaust Behemoth of the video games industry. Only steps sideways.
