    The first and only fallout game I have played (sadly) and I had a lot of fun looking back at it. I plan to play other titles thanks to Gamepass so my opinion on this game could change, but for now it’s a solid 7. I would say it’s pretty good but doesn’t excel at anything.

    It's a good game if you love the Fallout series. The bad reviews are mostly about the price, which has dropped in the meantime and the Creation Club of Bethesda. I do not like the CC move either, you don't have to use it. If you're new to Fallout 4 I recommend to take a look at Nexusmods.

    My first real experience in a role playing game and i fell in love with the different characters you could play as throughout the campaign. Looking back now , there wasn't an abundance of choice but the game does give you this freedom to roam free with your imagine despite in game additions.

Some characters are cool and there are some badass weapons in the game and the factions are pretty awesome in this game. The commonwealth map is pretty fun to explore and I fairly enjoy the dlc.

    This is a bit of a bugbear of mine, too many games play fast and loose with their main narrative drive and saddle you up with irrelevant sidequests as you go, and it's a serious conflict that ends up undermining their fiction.

    Basically, it's quite common practice for RPG developers to write a strong main plot, typically with dire personal stakes, but then also bolt on a large sandbox around it. On the one hand, this has the benefit of fleshing their world out, making it feel like it's an autonomous, functioning space, but it also has the risk of introducing severe narrative dissonance. An excellent example of this problem is Fallout 4 (though most open-world titles are guilty of it), where you're theoretically on a desperate quest to find Shaun, but in practice you keep taking detours to help some **** dirt farmer with his bloatfly problem.

    Ideally, when making a plot-driven RPG, you'd want to pace your story progression with natural downtime periods, when maybe you're chasing leads that might further your urgent goals or you're trying to earn your keep while you're waiting for a previously-concluded thread to bear fruit, thus introducing both the opportunity and excuse to engage with side-content.

    When people say they want choices, they want meaningful choices. All the choices and solutions to quests in Fallout 3 are absolute meaningless, with no affect on anything whatsoever. Not to mention a lot of the solutions are overly simplistic and too easy to achieve.

    Also, Fallout 3 didn't translate jack and **** from the first two games. It's like someone parading around in your favorite series's clothes, telling you that it's totally part of your favorite series. But it's not. It's a cobbled together pretender that uses recognizable iconography and some RPG systems from the series to make people think it's an actual Fallout game.    … Expand

    The game had a few problems, which translated into a lot of damage. These problems, moving away from the roots of RPG and the imbalance between RPG and shooter, made it not become a top Bethesda game.
    The problem of the dialogue system and the character not being silent and the very few choices of this game was very good overall game

    One of the most glaring issues with Fallout 4 lies in its narrative. The game's main storyline fails to engage and falls flat compared to the intricate and morally ambiguous narratives of its predecessors. The choices and consequences, which were a hallmark of the series, are disappointingly shallow and fail to have a meaningful impact on the world or the characters. The lack of branchingOne of the most glaring issues with Fallout 4 lies in its narrative. The game's main storyline fails to engage and falls flat compared to the intricate and morally ambiguous narratives of its predecessors. The choices and consequences, which were a hallmark of the series, are disappointingly shallow and fail to have a meaningful impact on the world or the characters. The lack of branching paths and limited dialogue options undermine the sense of agency, leaving players feeling like passive participants rather than active contributors to the story.

    While the game's open world is expansive and visually impressive, it lacks the depth and variety seen in previous entries. The settlements system, touted as a major feature, feels underdeveloped and tedious, with repetitive tasks and limited customization options. The side quests, while numerous, often lack the creativity and complexity that players have come to expect from the franchise, resulting in a sense of monotony and missed opportunities for engaging gameplay.

    Additionally, Fallout 4 suffers from technical issues that hinder the overall experience. From frequent crashes and frame rate drops to glitches and inconsistent AI behavior, these technical flaws break immersion and undermine the game's potential. The lack of polish and attention to detail is particularly disappointing, considering the pedigree of the series and the long development cycle.

    Despite its shortcomings, Fallout 4 does offer solid combat mechanics and improved gunplay. The V.A.T.S. system, which allows players to target specific body parts, adds a tactical element to encounters and injects some excitement into the otherwise lackluster combat. The gun customization system also provides a satisfying sense of personalization and variety in weaponry. However, these gameplay improvements are not enough to compensate for the game's overall weaknesses.

    In conclusion, Fallout 4 is a letdown for fans of the beloved franchise. While it presents a visually impressive open world and refined combat mechanics, the lackluster narrative, technical issues, and missed opportunities prevent it from reaching the heights of its predecessors. This installment fails to capture the essence of what made the Fallout series so captivating, leaving players with a sense of disappointment and a yearning for the depth and innovation that defined earlier entries. Unfortunately, Fallout 4 falls short of its potential and feels like a missed opportunity in the franchise's storied history.    … Expand

    This is a good game, but it can't stand the atmosphere of the previous chapters. The main problem is that the interesting side quests are non existent compared to the past. I wonder what happened if more budget went to storytelling and quests writing, instead to the "make your own outpost" mechanics.

    Superior gunplay to prior entries but inferior writing. Response wheel is a downgrade, crafting is way too annoying and involved, central quest is interesting but everything around it feels poorly though-out. Drops a lot of what makes other Fallout games successful in favor of other choices, with mixed results. Still has it's moments though (rad sea).

    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.
