    It's a disaster. The story has many loopholes and the game pretty much is devoid of any RPG elements.

I hope Bethesda takes their work seriously with ES 6, but they won't be getting my 60 bucks either way in the future. I will hold back and wait for the complete edition on their next game.… Expand

No estoy infravalorando a dichos jugadores, sino echando la culpa a la compañía Bethesda por hacer de un juego de superveniencia/rpg con toques de acción a un titulo de acción con conversaciones tristes de contenido y haciendo mas intuitiva la subida de niveles (quitando el sistema anterior del 3 y el NV y eliminando perks/habilidades de anteriores sagas) por ejemplo, y entramos en la conclusión que la esencia RPG queda en los lugares que descubrir (son muchísimos, no se la cifra exacta pero entre 400) y la variedad de armas y armaduras, aparte que la supervivencia se ve reducida por no decir eliminada por la cantidad absurda que hay de munición, estimulantes, y mas objetos que hacen que la experiencia sea menos inmersa.
    Tenemos aparte un modo para construir nuestra ciudad (con limites) y poder decorar, reclutar a gente, defendedlos, aliméntalos, etc. Este modo extenderá la vida útil del juego ya que hay localizaciones donde nos dejan construir que están muy chulas y podemos hacer volar nuestra imaginación, pero como punto malo a veces falla la colisión de los objetos al colocarlos en el sitio que deseas.
    Otro punto a comentar positivo son la compatibilidad de mods para pc Y CONSOLAS, cosa que nunca se había visto antes de forma "legal" (es decir sin piratear la consola), otra opción que alarga la vida del juego y nos pueden dar un montón de utilidades (he de decir que en consolas a día que escribo esto no ha sido complementado a la versión de dichas plataformas, en este caso ps4 y xone, con esto quiero decir que si hay errores o no funciona bien y es poco practico con errores habrá quejas por mi parte y bajara la nota ya que es algo que prometieron.
    Ahora solo tengo dos puntos mas que comentar en este caso negativos, aparte de la prostitución de dicho juego, nos encontramos con un juego técnicamente poco cuidado gráficamente, con alguna caída de fps (no muy grave en la versión de ps4, al menos ami), y una cantidad de bugs insana.
    Y por ultimo decir que la esencia Fallout esta pero desaparece en ocasiones ya que muchas misiones son de repetir una y otra vez lo mismo, sin un peso argumental consistente y que te haga meditar como en anteriores (hay que comentar que las misiones que te asignan las facciones y que son infinitas siempre serán lo mismo que es por lo que me quejo, pero sin olvidar que hace que haya misiones hasta que te aburras de jugar y que alguna a lo mejor, no siempre, te manda a un sitio que no has visitado.

    En conclusión nos encontramos con un gran juego con grandes fallos que hacen que la experiencia de juego se vea reducida, pero aun así no quita que sea una experiencia única y que tengamos muchos contenido y que podemos aumentar comprando el pase de temporada, que creo que en un juego de este tamaño con el tiempo que te regala de diversión lo justifica solo.    … Expand

    Fallout 4 is a very good game. Storytelling is good, shooting mechanics are good, story is mediocre. No real RPG elements. But, holy cow, the game is HUGE and you have a lot to do. It's a very enjoyable game if you know how to exploit everything and learn the core mechanics!!!

    -No important choices to make, every quest is ; kill loot return

    Overal the game is fun if your unfamilair with any previous fallout game.
    If you loved Fallout 3 and the far far superior New Vegas, Fallout 4 is an kick in the balls in your an fan of the series.
    I still cant believe that the game turned out to be an turd.

There are several problems though. The levels are uninspired and after 3 hours everything from then on is basically copy-pasted. The action RPG nature also means at the beginning of the game you have a ton of options but as the game goes on you are forced into one style of play unable to adapt to the situation.

It just lacked a creative element and it lost some of the dark humor you see in the other main stories. Another part of the game I didn't like was the few extremely boring and unrewarding side quest. But that was only a few most of the side quest were fun and really told a clever story which was my favorite part of the Fallout series. The saddest part of this game was there wasn't a variety of special weapons and easter eggs. With all that out of the way I gave Fallout 4 an eight because it kept me entrained to finish the game 3 times, get a platinum, and write a review (which I normal don't).… Expand

    There's plenty to do in Fallout 4 but after several hours of gameplay its fallen flat, and its just not that much fun to play. I really enjoyed fallout 3, Skyrim and Oblivion but fallout 4 doesn't capture the same magic or awesome "holy ****!" moments.

    Many elements are just not quite right and the culmination is a mediocre gaming experience. The story is...okay it suffers a slow start and poor exposition but its a decent enough hook. The dialogue wheel/menu is terrible: misleading and the answers dull, it feels like a step back from the silent protagonist of previous games. A poor Mass Effect/Dragon Age imitator in this respect. The Bethesda formula feels tired and old and there isn't enough to make the gaming feel fresh.

    The settlements are clunky and the quest line boring. All the factions have overwhelming flaws that rather than nuanced flaws or politics which makes you want to not root for anyone. The side quests are uninteresting.

    In terms of the way it runs, It has the same old Bethesda clunky menus and average graphics, which are more difficult to overlook when the rest of the game is less polished. The loading times are long and frequent.

    I'm giving up on this one for a while. I may come back to it and just play like an out and out shooter because thats the game's best attribute.

    If you just wanna climb into some power armour and blow everything to pieces then go for it, I think you'll have a blast, but if you're looking for a more complete role playing experience look elsewhere!    … Expand

It's a "product" that Bethesda cranked out to boost their quarterly earnings so they could please investors. There is no soul behind this game. No love was put it into it. It feels sterile and meaningless. Devoid of all joy. The developers of this game felt like they were consulting a checklist of commonly used gameplay mechanics from other open world games. The quests are all the same. Go somewhere. Kill all the people. Collect reward. That wouldn't be terrible if the gameplay was great. But it isn't. It's sub par, c-tier, mundane gameplay that feels like its code was copy-pasted straight out of a tutorial on how to make an FPS' in Unity.
    But what about the story? It sucks. The NPC's don't feel real. You can see through their movements and actions. They all appear as lifeless zombies that spout dialogue when you talk to them. They aren't natural. The story is just some generic plot which echoes similar comparisons as the gameplay; it feels like it was made by some amateur screenwriter who just took his first Screenwriting 101 class.
    I could go on about the endless loading screens (I'm serious, I think I spent equal time in loading screens as I did in game), the boring weaponry, or the lazy graphics (seriously look at this game compared to The Witcher 3. Not only is it graphically worse, it's worse in just about every other conceivable way). But for the sake of brevity lets wrap this **** up. You may wonder, after all of that why I gave this game a 5 out of 10. I gave it a 5 because it's just average. Look at my word choice throughout this review. "Mundane", "Stale", "Sub par". It's an average game that you just play because it's a game. You play it when there aren't any new games out and you need something to play.    … Expand

    With the oversimplification of dialogues, the predominance of repetitive fetch quests, and the linear narrative, Bethesda's poor commitment to storytelling again comes to light.

Though games like Skyrim might get away with it, due to the richness of the setting, Fallout 4 falls short, and fast, into a futile repetitive exercise of killing, fetching and modding with no discernible meaning nor deep objective, the Fallout setting just seems coincidental to this.

    Bethesda does not yet understand, that what made Fallout a great franchise was it's capacity of turning the setting into a story. Instead of just putting content for the sake of it, when developing, the priority should be on exploring the relations of power between communities that have survived, and get aspects, social, economical, even philosophical into the game, that's the way you create immersion. But with this game everything remains on the surface, there is no deep engagement, only inconsequential actions and a less than engaging main plot.

While the mechanics and gameplay are "smoother" than it's predecessors, it is still below average for next gen console games. Parts of the game get laggy, especially when you go downtown, and the game still suffers from the usual bugs like every other Bethesda game. The story is basically Fallout 3 in reverse but it does have some interesting twists down the road, however the first part of the campaign is not enjoyable at all and is very time consuming. The factions in the game are quite disappointing and underwhelming when compared to the factions of other fallout games. The Institute could have been so much better and more formidable and the railroad consists of like 20 people. This on top of the fact that another faction, The Minutemen is basically where the player is a one man army. This leaves the Brotherhood, and while I like them, I am getting tired of them being a major role in every fallout game, however I do like the direction Bethesda took them in, back to their old ways of preserving tech rather than being peacekeepers. All of the factions are accessed way too easily except the Institute obviously, and until the story's climax, they have you run around as an errand boy solo doing small missions. The game is filled with radiant quests which become more annoying than useful, and often times are unavoidable. The power armor makeover was not a good decision, as you now need fusion cores to power it and it is very clunky and difficult to move around in and overall discourages it's own use.
    The Commonwealth is probably the worst wasteland ever created in a fallout game. The city in no way reminds me of Boston, and the game has a design struggle between buildings: some look very old (revolutionary era), some have that 50's design to them, and some have this futuristic, colorful, plastic look to them. This is probably the worst part about the game. The Capital Wasteland, and Mojave were full of interesting places to explore with unique loot scattered throughout their wastelands. The Commonwealth is full of inaccessible buildings, and the ones that can be accessed are very dull and filled with either raiders, ghouls, or mutants. Outside the city it is basically a massive swamp scattered with useless prewar towns and buildings that contain nothing unique or interesting. And Bethesda tried to make the game world pretty, while failing to realize these game worlds should not be pretty, but they should make you feel like they were before the war. However a great addition they added were the new crafting tools (without them I would've given this game a 4) as they have greatly expanded what the player can do in the game. I personally love building things so I found it to be a great addition, however many people do not enjoy building, so this will not suit everyone. Overall I was disappointed with the game's quests and the world (including everything in it), and I found the gunplay to be simply decent, as well as the graphics. The crafting was the best part in my opinion, as without it the game would not have much replay value. But if you want a great fallout game, go with Fallout 3 or NV.    … Expand

    i've finished the main storyline like 2 weeks ago and i just can't stop playing fallout 4. its "world" it's huge with lots of sheet going on every time. there's a lot of side quests and a lot of places to go with a lot of stuff to do, so i guess i'll be playing it for a while. i don't get it about reviewing a great game so badly. fallout 4 has great graphics, a great gameplay, a massivei've finished the main storyline like 2 weeks ago and i just can't stop playing fallout 4. its "world" it's huge with lots of sheet going on every time. there's a lot of side quests and a lot of places to go with a lot of stuff to do, so i guess i'll be playing it for a while. i don't get it about reviewing a great game so badly. fallout 4 has great graphics, a great gameplay, a massive world, a good and compelling storyline, new features, fewer bugs and it has the BOS has the main faction. what you guys want more? it's a different game from the fallout 3. i loved the capital wasteland and all the fighting in its streets. but i'm also loving it on the commonwealth. at the end of the day what counts it's all the fun and how much you enjoy playing a game. on what regards fallout 4, i'm just loving it.… Expand

    This isn't a Fallout game.
    How can this be called an RPG if you have no choice in dialog? (Yes is the only option)
    I'll keep playing NV when I have a post-apocalyptic itch to scratch.

    This game blew me away! Ive spent so many hours on it, its unreal. There is nothing about this game that has disappointed me yet. I love the story (although maybe it could do with a little bit more exciting ending) and the side quests were entertaining. I can't get my head around how some people didn't enjoy this game (but then i guess its not for everybody). My only negative note is thatThis game blew me away!

    Ante todo, he de confesar que este ha sido mi primer Fallout ya que los juegos de mundo abierto tan extensos nunca han sido de mi completo agrado.

    Estamos ante un juego bastante feo técnicamente. Gráficos desfasados, bugs por doquier..., sin embargo, bien es cierto que la historia es entretenida.
    El personaje principal es bastante flojo en personalidad, aunque tampoco se puede pedir mucho cuando la main story hace aguas desde el minuto 1.

    Si disfrutas el mundo abierto y andar husmeando y creando tanto armas como refugios yo creo que es un juego muy aprovechable. Si tu estilo es más de juego guionizado, o de no tan libre albedrío, ni lo intentes. Será un desembolso de dinero para acabar en el carro de juegos de 2ª mano.    … Expand

    A strong return for the franchise, boasting incredible customisation, a fascinating world and brutal yet brainy shooting, slightly tarnished by lacklustre AI and tedious inventory management. [Christmas 2015, p.88]

    Feral Ghoul ugly in many ways, but beneath its iffy exterior beats the heart of one helluva great RPG. Get past the graphics deficiency, and the sheer thrill of Fallout 4’s combat, crafting options, and exploring will hold your attention for months. [January 2015, p64]

    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.
