    To start, Fallout fans, not Fallout New Vegas fans or Fallout 3 fans, just Fallout fans, are an obsessive audience that care much more about story than about graphics or even gameplay mechanics.

Maybe, to someone who hasn't played any Fallout game, Fallout 4 isn't good, thats fine, but we have to look at both audiences before really critiquing the game. We must first agree that this Fallout game has had more commercial hype and popularity than any other. It seems that almost everyone gamer was excited about this game, most never the others. One who loves Call of Duty and Halo might love the action aspects of Fallout 4 but trash the rpg elements of the game. Basically without getting to into it, it seems that those who love the Fallout universe love Fallout 4, while those who never played any of the games or just New Vegas (which wasn't even made by Bethesda and didn't have much to do with any of the main story points) don't think positively about the game. Personally, I am loving it. Expand

    The user reviews for this game are very misleading. I would give it a 9 but to balance the stupid 0 scored ill give it 10.
    So why is it a 9?
    - Good costumization system
    - Great combat
    - A great open world
    - Great story
    - Good perk system
    The only problem is the bugs which isnt that big of a deal

    The criticisms on this site of Fallout 4 are so stupid I suspect they are all from competing game companies and not real. The Fallout series has always been amazing. If you didn't like 3, you won't like 4. To me this is the game of the year just like 3 was. Almost perfect. Not even worth mentioning small complaints. SIMPLY THE BEST GAME EVER MADE!

    Will definitely be game of the year! Can't believe all these haters. Dumb complaints they list don't deserve such low scores for such a great game! If you liked previous Fallout games you will like this one.

Everything in this game is an improvement from fallout 3. The gun play is very fun and a great step up from the previous two games. Theres tons of unique and awesome loot to collect that you can mod and turn into your own creation. Theres also a nice minecraft like building system where you have to provide and defend citizens. And can literally build 100's of different things. But that part is completely optional. If you like rpgs, first person shooters, or any of the fallout games from the 3d era or elder scrolls game. I highly suggest you buy this great game. Expand

    After I put in more hours into this game I must say Im HOOKED!!!
    Ladies & gentlemen this is the best game of year 2015 if you put in the time for it. Really absolutely nothing comes close... not even Witcher 3 in terms of RPG.

    A PERFECT 10. Graphics & bugs aint deal breaker to me this game with its shooting + rpg+mod+ strategy elements will suck u in for years!

    Ребята... Fallout жив? Что нам дали ? Почему все хейтят эту игру ? Я вам расскажу..играл более 30 часов, а все негативные обзоры от людей, кто в игре толком 5часов..

    Что диванным критикам не понравилось в игре?

    Диалоги? (Да, нет, Сарказм), ну они забывают про 4 вариант ответа (расскажи по подробнее и т.д.) данный ответ открывает вариант диалога из ещё 4 вариантов -) Упростили только визуально, но диалоги живые т.к. персонажи общаются длинными предложениями и твои спутники общаются между собой, с нпс, часто вставляют свои реплики прямо в игре...ругаются матом в бою, все как надо.

    Шутер или симс? Об этом пишет каждый.. Что не нравиться строительство так не стройте.. вас это не обязывает...стройка не имеет отношение к основному квесту..
    Все пишут унылые квесты... принеси, убей и т.д. ВЫ ЧЕ КУРИЛИ ТАМ.. это квесты только на РАЗВИТИЕ ПОСЕЛЕНИЯ и расширение тер-рий.. основной квест + побочные от нпс не связанных со стройкой, очень разнообразны..

    Основной сюжет как фолыч 3 только наоборот? Да фиг там плавал.. спойлерить не буду.. но слышать от людей, кто прошел игру по ютубу и 4 часа сам поиграл.. пффф ну не знаю... ребята вышли из убежища, дошли до первого города.. и вертят носом =) даже не погрузились в мир ф4

    ДАЮТ СИЛОВУЮ БРОНЮ И МИНИГАН в самом начале игры.. о ГОСПОДИ что делать???
    Все пишут, что в начале игры дают халяву броню Т45 и миниган.. и мол типа можно все и всех убивать.. пффф.. для тех кто решает играть или нет.. я вам так скажу.. Броня без зарядки( ядерная батарея) бесполезна... в начале игры вам дадут одну такую заряд её 50% хватит минут на 15.. да вы в начале игры убьете всех рейдеров.. но таков замысел разрабов, чтобы вы увидели её и стремились искать заряды.. найти их в начале игры сложно, купить не возможно... пффф миниган дают о боже мой.. патроны 5мм.. найти их в начале игры тоже не вариант... убив когтя смерти в начале игры (режим выживание) вы потратите все патроны.. Режим выживания.. это просто АД.. в начале игры, короткими перебежками ищешь лут, можно умереть от 2-3 гулей, от кротокрыс, даже от 1 радскорпиона, вообще выживание советую как режим...

    Упростили навыки?? Вы шо наркоманы чтоли, навыки давали % к улутшению характеристик (легкое оружие, воровство, взлом и т.д.) сейчас вы каждый лвл получаете перк.. качайте те же навыки ( взлом, оружие (пистолеты, карабины, автоматы, тяжелое), медицина, красноречие, бартер) все эти навыки остались.

    ИТОГ все кто хейтит эту игру.. играли в неё максимум часов 5.. или по ютубу... читать смешно эти посты..
    Если ищешь игру не на 2 часа, бери ФОЛЛЫЧ,... Любишь скайрим? Хочешь скайрим с пушками:? вывод один бери ф4 =)

    Fallout 4 is ultimately a Bethesda game and a sequel to fallout 3. In every way it is what you would expect Bethesda to create, a buggy, bad looking and performing mess. But despite this Fallout manages to be one of the most immersive games I have ever played, I wake up wanting to jump into this game again.

But despite this Fallout manages to be one of the most immersive games I have ever played, I wake up wanting to jump into this game again. I adore exploring and uncovering the deep world Bethesda has lovingly crafted, and even making my own environments within that set piece in the form of settlements. The combat is leaps and bounds ahead of Fallout 3, the dialogue,though questionable, is in my opinion fantastic, with lip syncing being the only draw back.

    So, in conclusion Fallout 4 is Fallout 3 on steroids with much improved mechanics and story that make for an amazing game, but still a Fallout game, so if Fallout 3 isn't your thing this will not be either.

Além disso, jogar ouvindo uma das rádios musicais do Pipboy é uma experiência ímpar. Quantas vezes enfrentei fortes inimigos ao som de música clássica? O jogo é tão sensacional que eu mal consigo reclamar dos diversos bugs que enfrentei durante as muitas horas em que joguei (um deles eu tive que simplesmente reiniciar o console e iniciar novamente o jogo). Entretanto, apesar de atrapalharem um pouco a experiência, esses problemas não são capazes de reduzir a nota que eu darei para essa grandiosa obra: 10!

    9.5 out of 10. Not sure why the trolls on here are rating it so low. I play on PS4 and it runs/looks great.
    Pros: The customization, the crafting, the story (been great so far), the variety of companions, weapons, the map/locations
    Cons: the rads, dialogue wheel (on the fence about that). Overall, the game has been great over 35 hours logged and I feel like there's way more stuff to do

    At first the game didn't really win me over, the story is kinda plain so far (15hours in), the dialogue choices aren't very interesting, but then rather then just doing quests I did what I would say is the real purpose of the world and I just went out in a random direction and explored and since then I've fallen in love.

    The world is full of things to find and do and just walking around

    The world is full of things to find and do and just walking around an finding an unexpected raider base which happens to have some amazing weapon, finding a delusional ranting robot or running into a side quest I wasn't expecting have all been really fun experiences.

    Its great to see Fallout do this element of open world RPG's very very well and while there is room for improvement the game has a lot to offer, especially if you like customising weapons and building bases. I can see myself spending 40 to 50 hours in the game which in Australia means the price is $1.73 to $1.38 per hour of game-play and I'm am more than happy with that return.

Simply amazed. NOTHING that these ***munchers said negative about the game is true. I hope the cracked their discs in half and denied themselves gaming heaven. They have their heads so far up their asses they can see their rotten teeth and smell their bad breath. The only thing that they can say is negative is some bugs but which game doesn't have that??

    I've played around 20 hours of Fallout 4 so far and I've experienced 4 bugs that I remember. I have experienced more bugs than that in many other games. This is the least buggy Bethesda Product I've ever played. Luckily, I'm playing it on the PS4.

    Beyond all of the technical aspects of this game, it is the most fun I've had in a long while. Even though I may run into a bug or get caught on the leveling system occasionally, no game that's come out recently has dragged me in quite as strongly as Fallout 4. Really, game are meant to be fun and the smiles per dollar ratio of this game is through the roof.

    The world is great, the AI are smart and use cover well, the story (as far as I am in so far) is great, the crafting is fun, the building aspect will keep me going forever companions are some what a part of the adventure now.

    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.
