    The Gameplay is great, The characters are great. The ONLY reason I didn't give it a 10 was because of that wonky area is town where you slow down tremendously. I don't know what that is, but it's horrible.

    Игра потрясающая. Открытый мир который хочется исследовать. Для меня лично создание поселений это очень круто! Создание модификаций для орудий, брони. Минус что багов много, но это простительно.

    Lost some details that made Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas outstanding games, but makes up for it with new concepts in the franchise.
    Could've been perfect if Bethesda didn't take away those diverse dialogue options and the karma meter.

    I'm going to be honest and say that I way so hyped when this game came out at first because I was a starved Fallout fan, but honestly, if you enjoy this game or even outright call it a fallout game, then the underlying concept of the fallout series obviously has gone over your head.

    The only reason this game isn't considered **** is due to alot of ignorant gamers only having played Fallout 4 and not any other games.

    It's a mediocre AAA game at best, probably why so many ignorant gamers enjoy it, because they've never explored anything else.

    As a fallout game this just totally fails, don't buy it, and if you like the Fallout Franchise you shouldn't support this game at all

Lets start with the good things. I like the main story and characters. The twist are good and the involved characters are memorable. With Nick, Piper, Deacon, John Hancock and Kellgog we got great backstories. I can relate to these characters and feel compassion for them. This is for me a sign for good character creation. Also the factions and their leaders are magnificent. While I don't like some aspects I can at least see where they come from (except maybe one I wont spoil). Again you must chose a fraction at a late point in the game like in New Vegas. The sidequests are also a strength with the Silver Shroud quest-line as my favorite while many others that are also remarkable like Nicks Detective cases, The secret of the Cabot house and Last voyage of the USS Constitution as close second. Some go hand in hand with the dark humor of the Fallout series. There is one dialog where a still working security robot wants you to identify yourself. You can respond with insults to a humorous result. I am in the minority here but I like the crafting, construction elements and settlements. The controls work well or lets say as in all new Fallout games. I am really satisfied with the game. Now to the parts I dislike. The bugs are (slightly) more numerous than in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. The new level up system is a hit and miss. While I like that I can potentially learn everything part of the fun in previous games was to create your own build and style. Some fan favorite abilities got removed. I hate that Preston always have uninteresting random quests. I would have liked the character but each time I get near him I have to save a settler from stupidity. I defended all settlements in a way that nothing should harm them and they have enough of everything there but they always find a way to get captured or lost. The power armor is now useless for me. There is no tread serious enough for me to waste fusion cores. Overall this is a bit different but a true Fallout game or experience. I enjoyed it and will give 8/10. Fallout New Vegas in the ultimate / game of the year edition is still better. Expand

    Fallout 4, lets just say that it is a perfect post-war survival game, because that's what it is. The graphics, the style, the game-play. It's not just that, but the wide variety of mods on PS4 too, it just make the game customized to your liking, making it more and more enjoyable.

    I love this game, that seems to be a fairly uncommon opinion tho. I think too many people are hung up on the fact that the dev team wanted to make a looter shooter with rpg elements rather that an rpg with looter shooter elements. I think the story is pretty good but drags at parts and is boring in others but that is dependent on which faction you go with.

I believe that the story is a bit better than new vagas however so I'll give it that.
    I love that the shooting isn't entirely tart and that they really built the game around the idea of: "lets not make skyrim with guns again" I think that nailing down the shooting and mechanics before the rpg and story helps the game a ton. The settlement mechanics allow you to modify and kit out yourself from basically anywhere in the wasteland.
    I believe that the game was unfairly reviewed in 2019 due to review bombing because of 76 this game is great and I hope to the godly Garvey that a mainline single-player fallout comes out in the next five years after the Elder Scrolls 6.

    Fallout 4 switched things up a lot. They added settlements. And the ability to build your own settlements. Which I saw a lot of people disliked, oddly. I found it the best addition to the game they could have done! I spent more time with the settlements than anything else in the game. (and I spent around 100 hours on quests and exploration alone!)

    I really enjoyed building the settlements, the only thing I wish was it had bigger areas to build. After building a large town, my place cap was maxed, and I couldn't build anymore. After hours of building up one settlement, I'd need to spend hours savaging to restock my supply. And then it was off to the next settlement. However, I do wish they got attacked more often to test my defenses more.

    Outside of settlements there was the quest lines. The main quest was interesting. And as always, I enjoy the multiple different endings to the game. And much like all the other games, the vast world to explore and loot keeps you playing for hours. This is a great game and a great addition to the series.

    Lose yourself for hundreds or even thousands of hours in the expansive world of Fallout 4. The game is full of personality and the characters capture the charm of older Fallout titles very well. Although, you'll come across many glitches in the midst of your journey, none are game breaking besides the one time I got stuck in the terrain of the world and my save became obsolete.

    fallout 4 was a down for me although i spent 60+ hours on it and actually enjoying too, but the thing is the game strikes you with outdated graphics and horrible 3rd person shooting mechanics and a meh story , although if u r looking for having fun well ! u will find it in the mod afforded by players and the building system .
    well i wish that the game goes back to its rpg roots in the next sequel

    Fallout 4 is hands down one of the best games I've ever played that hooked me in for an incredible amount of time. Like all games it 's not without flaws and downsides of course, but as a whole it works very well.
    Starting with the graphics and game engine, they are dated and initially (especially after playing The Witcher 3), it's feels like a huge downgrade. Saying that, after a while the graphics grew on me and I've come to appreciate the incredibly full and detailed world building of this game where there is nothing truly empty about the world. Whereas normally in open world games there are large empty spaces with a few roaming creatures/enemies, every inch of this world has a full story to tell if you're the type of person to appreciate that.
    The 50s-60s theme just give it a natural aura of nostalgia that ties in perfectly with a post apocalyptic setting where you're meant to feel the tragic loss of the good old days. No other game achieves this level of melancholic nostalgia that's broken up with healthy doses of dark humour, silliness and downright dark theme changes. The world building is just incredibly immersive, interesting and fun.
    Every aspect of the roleplay/gunplay/customisation are very decent and not overburdened/padded to insane levels which makes it very accessible once you get the hang of it (I find over-complicated systems and customisation detracts for the core experience of any game and acts more as a padding used when the actual game-play/storytelling/exploration is lacking).
    One that point, the game doesn't hold your hand with tutorials which when you come out of the Vault can seem very overwhelming. However this genuinely adds to the overall experience of being thrown into a unknown, dangerous but yet familiar world you can relate to.

    On the technical side, even though I bought the game a year after release, technical performance was not that good, however it's not bad enough to seriously detract from the experience.

    Lastly the DLCs (especially Far Harbour) are pretty solid additions to the game well worth having and great for the price.

    Overall I'd highly recommend the game as much as I would recommend The Witcher3 and HZD. For me these are the golden standard for the genre

    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.
