    Yes, this is still the Fallout that we know and love. The post-apocalyptic setting. The lore. The mutated creatures. Wandering around, seeing something cool in the distance, going there, killing all the bad guys, grabbing the loot, seeing something else in the distance, going there, repeat. It's all back in Fallout 4.

    That being said though, they have taken quite a few steps back with    Yes, this is still the Fallout that we know and love. The post-apocalyptic setting. The lore. The mutated creatures. Wandering around, seeing something cool in the distance, going there, killing all the bad guys, grabbing the loot, seeing something else in the distance, going there, repeat. It's all back in Fallout 4.

    That being said though, they have taken quite a few steps back with this game. Yes, the RPG system has been simplified. There are no skills anymore, weapon and armor don't degrade, there is no karma system, and the perks system has been reworked. The skills and reworked perks system, I can live with. The other two, not so much. I imagine they did it to streamline the series and appeal to a wider audience. The lack of a karma system means that the only meaningful choices you get to make are what factions to join, which leaves little room for any real role-playing. The story and setting this time around also don't have the appeal of Fallout 3. With a few exceptions, characters are flat and uninteresting, and this isn't helped by the lack of interesting player dialogue choices. Boston also doesn't have the uniqueness that Washington DC had. The usual Bethesda bugs are still in abundance. NPC followers can get snagged on objects, static cars can unexpectedly go flying and crush you, bad VATS cameras will glitch through enemies, and so on. The UI is also a bit of a mess. The pipboy menus in general are cluttered and confusing, and certain key binds are hard bound to actions. You can also build settlements now. It's a cool idea, but poorly explained and implemented. 30 hours in, I still don't know what ultimate purpose they serve or how it benefits me.

    Onto the positives. The world looks great. The art style in general is more colorful and vibrant than Fallout 3's, helped by a much improved graphics engine. Art quality is hit or miss though. Some areas look great while others look laughably bad. Character models and animations have been improved. 3rd person view in particular feels much better because of this. Character creation is also very robust, with tons of face customization options. The gun gameplay and general player navigation is also improved, and feels more in line with what you'd expect from a modern FPS. It can still be quite janky, especially when jumping or trying to navigate rocky terrain. You can also craft weapons and armor now, which is great. That also means every little clutter item in the world should be picked up, as they are used for crafting.

    So in conclusion, if you loved Fallout 3 for it's setting and and exploration gameplay, Fallout 4 will give you more of that but with a bit of next-gen polish. If you wanted a deep RPG experience, then the streamlining that Bethesda has done may disappoint you. Though not the classic that it's predecessor was, Fallout 4 is still a good game and a worthy addition to the Fallout series.    … Expand

    Fallout 4 has missed the "fallout" part.

    The character customization has been dumbed down. Now you have only SPECIAL and perks, with half of the perks being only percentage increases. Skills and traits have been removed.

    The character customization has been dumbed down. Now you have only SPECIAL and perks, with half of the perks being only percentage increases. Skills and traits have been removed. The dialogue is terrible and slow (you'll probably skip it), the voicing for your character ruins the immersion. The speech wheel is the worst part, it gives you 4 options that basically are "yes", "no", question, sarcasm or "maybe". But none of these option matter as whatever you say it results in the same result, which sometimes is the total opposite of what you want, killing the replay-value.
    The story is pretty bad, especially in the second part, where you do stuff for no real reason. Every quest ends in a call-of-duty stile level, you just kill enemies, loot stuff until you get tired and then go on. In previous fallouts you could have avoided the shooting by speaking with people, sneaking or in other ways. In fallout 4 you just kill enemies.
    The map is pretty cool, it is more colorful than fallout 3's, but IMO feels smaller. In most of the map there's either enemies or nothing, you won't find amazing stuff that will start a quest. You will find very few secondary quests which are actually quests and not just "go there and kill people because I told you so".
    The new features are ok, the weapon modding is awesome but there tends to be an "obvious choice" when you customize weapons. The settlement building is fun the first time but soon after you will ignore it as you gain absolutely nothing from helping people except their complaints.

    Fallout 4 is not a good FALLOUT game, but it is a decent game. An open-world FPS with some rpg elements. I obtained roughly 40 hours from the game and at least half of them I would call them enjoyable. I do not recommend picking it up, as the other games in the series (3 and NV) are much better even if older.    … Expand

The world is massive. You most likely will not run out of things to do for many hours in. The NPC are great and voice acted well. The gameplay in general is amazing. However, we come to the biggest issue with the game: technical hiccups. Like many of Bethesda's other games the game can be glitchy and is not well optimized. I will give the cruddy graphics a pass since the game is massive, however, frame rate drops even on top PCs is unacceptable. Well all have given Bethesda a pass due to the scale of their games. However, its 2015 and they are still there. It is starting to become ridiculous. Bethesda NEEDS to update their engine. Other bugs include: Companions running straight into enemy fire or getting blown up randomly with no enemies around. Also quests have been known to glitch causing you to have to revert back to a previous save file to complete it. Luckily the massive scale and great gameplay still allows this game a positive review. The game overcomes many of flaws and is well worth 60 dollars.… Expand

    People are saying that this game wasn't anything close to what they wanted, but I say that it's the best Fallout title that this generation will probably see for at least the next 15 years(hopefully, because Bethesda should take their sweet time when making their games), and the best Fallout entry since Fallout 2. The Commonwealth is much different than the Capital Wasteland, The MojavePeople are saying that this game wasn't anything close to what they wanted, but I say that it's the best Fallout title that this generation will probably see for at least the next 15 years(hopefully, because Bethesda should take their sweet time when making their games), and the best Fallout entry since Fallout 2. The Commonwealth is much different than the Capital Wasteland, The Mojave Desert, and The West Coast. It's more developed and populated then any other setting in the Fallout Universe, but that doesn't mean that the game is easier. Like when anything else is exposed to the effects of time, the commonwealth has evolved to become the deadliest environment in any fallout game released. The best thing about the game, so far, is how challenging it is. When I had the option to set my difficulty I went to survival mode, because usually bethesda's games aren't too difficult. But Fallout 4 has proven to be a welcome challenge where everything can and will kill you in a few seconds, if you don't plan right. Strategy has become a vital tool when clearing a "dungeon", where as in fallout 3 I would just run around and shoot everything in the frontal lobe. The crafting system is fun to, but it's easy to acquire too many settlements to manage at once, without making it a full time job.

    However, The only few cons that come with this game are the bugs and the storyline, which is so uninteresting, I haven't even gotten past the 5th main quest quest. The only game breaking bugs that I have encountered, I am playing on the Xbox One, have been where a companion would walk into a wall, fly up into the air, and I got a message saying that they headed back to red rocket gas station.

    But still. I love the game, I think it's the best fallout that I've ever played, It certainly lived up to my expectations, and I plan on fully completing the game.    … Expand

    I didn't go into Fallout 4 with much expectation. That's not because I didn't like what I saw from pre-release material, it's just that I didn't really follow it much until launch, and that's maybe why I'm enjoying the game a lot more than those who have given it scathing reviews regarding it's story, graphics, and the change of certain systems in-game.

    I've played all the previous Fallout games. I enjoyed the changes for what they were in Fallout 3 and thoroughly enjoyed it (probably one of my best xbox 360 experiences). I didn't enjoy New Vegas, I just couldn't get into it. As for Fallout 4, the best I can say is that it's...good. So far, it hasn't taken me to the heights of entertainment as found in Fallout 3 (should I nuke Megaton?) but it is still quite an enjoyable experience...

    Pros

    - The gunplay has been much improved from Fallout 3, and although it doesn't (thankfully) play like a shooter, I felt I had a bit more control when it came to combat. VATS is still included, but now instead of freezing time, it simply slows time down considerably. Many have complained about this, but I like this change - it forces the player to think a bit quicker in these situations.

    - The world of Fallout 4 doesn't seem to be that big. However, there is so much detail crammed into every corner of the game map, and there is always plenty to see and do. The environment is much more colourful and vibrant than that of Fallout 3 and this helps when it comes to exploration, as I always see something of interest in the distance that I want to check out.

    - Graphics - For such a large and complex open world game, I don't expect it to have state of the art graphics - it just couldn't work under that pressure. The character models aren't overly detailed and their animations (especially lip syncing) aren't great. The environment and lighting, however, are fantastic, and for a game like this, the world really is the most important character.

    Cons

    - The story is weak - there's no getting around that. I just didn't really care if my character found his family or not. It had the potential, especially showing how good life was with the character's family before the war, but it never built on that.

    - Choice - this has always been a big part of Fallout, and here it has been neutered considerably. As mentioned in other reviews, you could negotiate many situations - double crossing characters, bribing, intimidating them etc. But this has mostly been stripped out of Fallout 4 and overly simplified, which is a shame.

    - UI - not something a lot of people have talked about, but this really bugs me - the UI on this game is a nightmare. It's ugly, garish and extremely clunky to navigate.

    - Gameplay - this is a funny one - it improves on many of Fallout 3/NV mechanics and is a smoother experience for it, but I just don't seem to be having as much fun as I did in Fallout 3. I don't know if it's because of the story or the world or the characters, but it just doesn't grab my attention like F3 did.

    Overall, it's simply a good game. It's not amazing, it's not terrible. There's plenty to do and can be enjoyed, and for that it's worth playing. It's just not as entertaining as previous iterations.

    I can't really comment on bug crippling the game etc, because, aside from the odd dialogue-related issue, I haven't really experienced any bugs or performance issues.    … Expand

    Fallout 4 Image This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel bad for all the hate Bethesda is getting. People need to realize something important:

    This game is much worse on consoles due to frame rate being capped at 30FPS and textures being compressed. Load times are also excruciating on console.

    This is not just Bethesda's fault, this is the fault of the people for buying a $350 console that is essentially a $700 strength branded gaming PC, and expecting $1400 gaming PC power. Maybe games like Battlefront were optimized for console better, but on PC with everything on Ultra, this game is everything I wanted it to be in terms of graphics.

    Although textures here and there could be twice as definitive, the natural light and shading and atmospheres created are 11/10.

    Character animations and what not, as with all Bethesda games, is their weak spot. But its completely tolerable.

    At first I thought I was going to be majorly disappointed in this game, for a few reasons:

    The intro, time in the vault, and first walk in the wasteland is extremely concentrated, fast, and simple.
    All 1-100 skill leveling from Fallout 3 has been condensed into a singular SPECIAL/Perk Chart. It feels bottle necked and simplified for extremely casual players, and this is not what Fallout 3 was.

    The first important NPC tells you to jump into power armor and allows you to control a settlement in like five minutes. The first Brotherhood of Steel guy you meet asks you to join. This is all cheesy in my eyes and I wanted drastic broad-stroke story before I received Power Armor and General status.

    In 2015, all forms of entertainment feel required to pull the user in, FAST. I think this is a bi-product of that unfortunate concept.

    Fortunately enough though, after a few quests and with playing on the hardest difficulty, this game is the hardcore challenge I wanted. Quick-save exists for a reason, you can get your ass kicked. On the hardest difficulty, two swipes from a Yao Guai and you're dead. And that's with good armor.

    The settlement building is quite allowing, and you do not run into an anticlimactic Tony-Hawk style inventory cap. Mods and DLC will surely add tons of content to settlement building over the next two years, and even with the vanilla release content, you can accidentally spend hours building your bases.

    Weapon/Armor Modding feels just right. There's complexity for sure, but it's not revolting and easy to get into.

    The worst part of this game is the story. It started off so fast and I do not care about who was killed. The main character has no emotion, despite the fact that they give you to social option to be like "IM LOOKING FOR MY SON" all the time. People need to realize though, story isn't what made Fallout 3 either. It was all the systems throughout scavenging, traveling, character customization and combat challenges. THIS GAME STILL HAS ALL OF THAT.

    The thing that is most controversial to me is the map size. The map size is smaller than Skyrim/Fallout 3, BUT, in their defense it is quite dense. I think we should expect map size to double with all the DLC that eventually comes out.    … Expand

Secrets everywhere and the feeling that you have no idea what you might run into at any moment keep me glued to the screen for hours on end. Their new loot system that gives use to nearly every item further drives this desire to explore.

    I did not expect to be the biggest fan of their new settlement/construction system, but it is incredibly entertaining! To see what happens when raiders try to charge your base surrounded by rocket turrets is worth the time invested!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would give this game an 8.5 but 9 make more sense than an 8 for this game.
    Pros:
    + It's huge. I'm 60hrs in, discovered 210 locations, finished over 100 quests, and there's still about 1/3 of the map I have no yet explored. Do NOT judge this game based on flat, playable area. This game is very dense.
    + The story great. You have some real tough choices to make and none of them seem like the right one. This is the best story Bethesda has had since Moirrowind.
    + Gameplay is great. The gunplay feels fine and, if you're good at FPS, you can certainly play through the game without VATS with no trouble. Even though they took away the ability to micromanage skill points, this game really takes away the need to min/max on Survival playthroughs. You can build the character you want and still make it through the most difficult content.
    + Voice acting is much imporoved. No obviously recycled voices for any characters.
    + The customization is fantastic. If you get bored with the "same weapons" that is your fault. You can mod any gun you want if you invest the perks.
    + Settlement building is a great meta that will allow someone to keep playing without re-running the same content.
    + There are tons of hidden gems that give the world a lot of character.

    Cons:
    - Companions are useless, annoying, and only good for their quests and being pack mules.
    - Game is GLITCHY. It just is. I haven't had near the bugs that some are complaining about, and none have been gamebreaking so far.
    - Graphics are not a con, but they're certainly not a pro. So I've added them here. The ambient/lighting effects are top notch. Everything else is meh to bad.
    - The radio station is basically the same thing as Fallout 3. There are thousands of useable songs from that era. WIsh they would have expanded this libary more.
    - There are a lot of obvious quality of life improvements that were overlooked. Some are so obvious I simply can't believe they would ignore them.

    Conclusion:
    This game is not a 9, nor is it an 8. Everything that makes a Bethesda game so good is right here. If you're looking for something "revolutionary" however, keep looking. It will likely keep you entertained and engrossed longer than any other game on the market today. If Fallout 3 was Oblivion with guns, this is certainly Skyrim with guns. Fallout 4 is a must-buy.    … Expand

    The only thing that keeps this game from a perfect 10 is the glitches that come with every Bethesda game. Almost endless game play, a vast open world to explore, and tons of ways to play, I really didn't expect this game to be as good as it is being new to the Fallout series. I was a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls and this game plays nearly identical to those.

I missed the skill percentages for all about 5 minutes until my first couple level-ups and then realized how infinite the possibilities are for customization. Some things to add/change? A few perks should be tweaked to more usability (why get radiation resistance when ghoulish will make radiation heal you?) and the constantly running out of inventory room should be looked at. I believe fallout 3 or skyrim had some similar problems until they knocked the weight of some common items down. Nuka Colas? Shouldn't be 1 pound each. Etc.

    (This review is written after 24 hours of gameplay, story unfinished but a lot of exploration and discovery done)
    So, this game is actually really quite a fantastic game on it's own merit.

    So, this game is actually really quite a fantastic game on it's own merit. It has a complex and rewarding crafting system, the shooting is miles better than in previous games, it's got unique and interesting stories, and some of the best writing I've seen in a Bethesda game for a long time. Yes, I do actually care about some of the characters and I want to find my son already!
    I would advise to leave the internet alone until you've finished everything you want to finish. There are HUGE spoilers just randomly placed about on wiki's (avoid anything to do with companions, trust me).

    So the good points summed up;
    1. The story is fantastic, and I've never cared so much about a Bethesda game, the characters are all we written and complex. I'd like to extend this to say the atmosphere can genuinely be very spooky and scary from time to time.
    2. The gunplay is so much more responsive and satisfying.
    3. The addition of new legendary enemies adds a lot of variation to things, I hope they take it a step further in the future and go an almost Diablo route with it (tons of variations of the same enemies)
    4. The crafting system (especially on weapons and armour) makes for some seriously awesome customisablity, if you want to sneak around taking people out silently, that's entirely viable!
    5. They really throw you to some unexpected positions as you go throughout the game, and this really allows you to see a whole other side of the Fallout universe and experience thing we've never seen before.

    That being said, there are also a few set backs here;
    1. The whole world seems kind of empty at the start, there's not that many random/interesting stories in the north of the wasteland, but this is rectified a little when you head south
    2. The new speech system isn't awful, but I still quicksave before I choose any option with the likelihood being that I'm about to make a character feel stupid for trying to feign interest in their plans.
    3. The crafting system, oh how I love it, but it's ever so difficult to correctly place items, you'll be over encumbered constantly for wanting to collect things to scrap, and the NPCs cannot navigate your new, custom-made terrain, and that's infuriating.
    4. Often times the story only seems to move when I most (although that certainly isn't always the case).
    5. Many of my decisions don't seem to be of any impact, maybe I'll save someone somewhere in the wasteland for them to run off never to be seen again. Maybe I'll convince someone to give up the drugs, maybe I'll create an entire new city for people to visit. Maybe I'll activate a 200 year old sentry bot only to have it sit around and do nothing. None of the side quests have any real impact on the rest of the wasteland, which is slightly disappointing.

    Overall, I have loved (and will continue to love) my time with this game, I can't get enough of it, but there's a few little bug bears that I think Bethesda just didn't really use common sense with when designing

    P.S. I would say that the bugs are awful, but I can only base this on my own experience. So far, after 24 hours, I have only had my gun disappear (twice), has to wait a little while to open a door (once) and on occasion I can see through the ceiling.    … Expand

    I think most of the people are upset because the game is too complex for them. Todd Howard was right when he said "We are probably doing too much with this game."
    The leveling system makes perfect sense, I actually enjoy it more then the previous system. You really have to think about where to put your points and it takes a long time to level up as well.

    The atmosphere is unlike anything else, great graphics, awesome missions, so much fun to explore.
    If everyone wants to make comparisons I'll leave some as well.

    Fallout 4 is much more atmospheric then the Witcher 3. Yes the Witcher did contain more dialogue but literally the rewards were terribly weak. I played the witcher, discovered every location...none as interesting as anything in Fallout 4.
    Every building design and mission structure set up in Fallout is multi tiered in a much better way then the witcher. The rewards feel great also, the combat in witcher sucked, all you had was a couple decent spells and the same 2 swords to swing over and over again.
    Fallouts combat takes thought and skill, you always risk running out of ammo and action points, there are a variety of several ways to attack and sneak through buildings. You can hack turrets, control robots, rig up booby traps, go stealth, beat someone to death with a rolling pin, you have lazer pistols that set people on fire, even baseball grenandes.....you can even sneak up on someone and put a live grenade in their back pocket.
    Talk about stale NPC's did anybody else get tired if seeing the same cut and paste villagers and salesmen at every town in the Witcher. Seriously the bowl cut NPC was everywhere as was the herbalist.

    Same **** with Metal Gear, great game but repetitive and boring.

    The best XB1 game yet! Forget game of the year, this game deserves to have a new category invented for it. Game of the Console! If your a RPG/Bethsaida/open world fan this is the only game you want for your XB1. IMHO it has destroyed all of the other "RPG" games that XB1 has released so far.

Game of the Console! If your a RPG/Bethsaida/open world fan this is the only game you want for your XB1. IMHO it has destroyed all of the other "RPG" games that XB1 has released so far.

    The good...

    1.Excellent post apocalyptic setting. The whole futuristic 50's vibe is refreshing in the RPG genre.
    2. Radio adds so much to the atmosphere there's classic/oldies/quest stations . It just need more songs.
    3. Flexible playstyle. Sniper 1 shot kills. Melee build. Stealth are all viable. Go high tech or medieval.
    4. True open world sandbox. There's a main story, but you do what you want, when you want.
    5. 6 different levels from very easy to survival.
    6. No level caps. So you can keep leveling even after story. 278 levels for all perks and stat boost
    7. Combo Skyrim/old school Elder Scrolls stats/ plus xp system. For varied development.
    8. Building system. It's totally optional, but you have at least 10 bases to build the way you like.
    9. The monetary system. Bottle caps are money.Everything breaks down for crafting. So even junk is good.
    10. The game feels post apocalyptic. Sparse animals. Ammo is kind of scarce. So resources seem valuable
    11. Mods for Guns, Rifles, melee weapons. Mods for all armor types. Again optional but vast.
    12. I've played 72 hours and I'm only level 34/278 (that mean something). Lots to do and replay value. Even if you finish main story arch or level cap you can continue to play.
    13. Some NPC's have similar quest type that is repeatable. So you always have quests.
    14. Bethsaida games always have DLC that add meaningful content if wanted.

    The bad...

    1. Bethsaida bugs. Some crashes. Like all of their games save often.
    2. Last gen graphics. Though they are stylized so you won't really notice.

    This is an 8/10 for the genre. But 10/10 compared to what new gen consoles have released so far. Easily the best RPG game I own for XB1. And I own all of the RPG for this console.    … Expand

Both Fallout 3 and NV had excellent dialog, you decisions in quests had an effect on game, and there was it required some thought when encountering bad guys.

    In Fallout 4, you feel you have no control over the dialog and it is very simplified and limited. Feels like the creators force you to go down a certain road. Of coarse you can speed down it with good charisma, but I cannot take alternate paths.

    Ammo and caps are not hard to get in this game. In all the previous you never wanted to waste ammo. It was hard to get in the post apocalyptic future. In 4, I have more than enough. Caps are not hard either, I can easily accumulate several thousand caps.

    The weapons in 4 are not exciting at all. I do like the weapon modding system, however, there is such a small variety of weapons and no variation in ammo. I loved the feel of finally finding a good weapon.

    The same goes with armor as weapons.

    I do not like how power armor is achieved in the first few hours of the game. Power armor in all of the previous were hard to find and almost an end game item. I have been playing for 10 hours and have found 4 suits of power armor and enough energy cells to keep it powered for a while.

    Although I do like how power armor works, it actually shows it power and bulkiness. But I feel its achieved too early in the game and should be a more unique item. You can however customize it and get unique parts for it to improve it.

    Overall the creators tried to enhance the game, but I feel it change the dynamics and it feels more of a shooter, kind of like the game 'Rage' if you have ever played it. I can't say it's a bad game, but compared to the other games in the series it is a step back and horrible.    … Expand

    The settlement minigame seems like it could be fun, but I didn't put more than 3-4 hours into it.

    Mixing perks with SPECIAL was a huge mistake. 8 charisma and intelligence did nothing because without the perk along with it I'd fail speech checks.

    If you're a fan of Fallout 1 and 2 you'll probably hate this game. If you loved Skyrim and Fallout 3, good news it's the same game!    … Expand

    Anyways, with that said, this game is well worth the $60. gun crafting is more fun than expected, settlement building is alright, haven't really gotten into it too much, the gun play, like I already said, isn't total garbage, and you don't actually have to rely on VATS 97% of the time. The story wasn't all that great, but really, was fixing a water purifier that great? These games don't shine because of their in depth, amazing, breathtaking story line with intricate characters. It's the feeling of exploring a desolate wasteland where nearly everything is trying to kill you, and you have to do anything to survive.

    The enemies are fun and you don't feel terribly overpowered when fighting them being a high level, and the addition of Legendary enemies that drop legendary loot is a welcome edition. I definitely liked scrounging around ruins and at the end find a special weapon like in 3, but getting them after killing a legendary enemy feels more rewarding.

    As for perks, I like that they implemented SPECIAL and perks into one tree. The way it was done in 3 and NV, where you could put points into attributes and pick out certain perks, completely defeated the purpose of having the SPECIAL in there, since you could be a 1 charisma character with 100 speech.

    As for the graphics, yeah, the game isn't exactly pretty, and it most certainly doesn't look like a next gen game, but fun gameplay will always triumph over graphics for me personally.

    Overall, I don't regret buying this game, and I find it extremely fun.    … Expand

    Everything else is sub-par.
    Graphics are terrible, looks like something from 2005, with glitches and bugs all over the place.
    Nothing is explained in-game: crafting, cooking, modding, the Pip Boy, nothing! No tutorials on anything, I discovered that the VATS system existed purely by accident on YouTube (I thought it was a mod when I saw it!).
    The inventory system is extremely clunky (everything categorized alphabetically?! No universal locker?), all AI is mind-numbingly stupid and the quest system is broken (I've tried to finish quests only to find out that the final boss was unbeatable at my current level - thanks for the heads-up!).
    Camera angles unusable - even in cut-scenes! I watched one cut-scene from the inside of the throat of the NPC. ><

    The combat mechanics are the absolute worst, aiming is so terrible it takes 10 bullets just to kill a moth. And they compared it to Destiny!

    And the load screens! I've probably spent more time looking at the load screen than actually playing the game since every death means staring at a load screen for 15 seconds.

    To say this game was a disappointment is an understatement. The designers behind this game seem to have made a concerted effort to go against long-standing cornerstones of the Fallout IP, all in the name of mass appeal.

They    To say this game was a disappointment is an understatement. The designers behind this game seem to have made a concerted effort to go against long-standing cornerstones of the Fallout IP, all in the name of mass appeal.

    - For one, mixing Perks, Skills and SPECIAL into one system leads to a myriad of issues, not the least of which is Perk points no longer feel worthwhile to earn. They feel like keys that unlock things which could be gained other ways if Bethesda had put any thought into how.

    - Most, if not all, missions are railroaded and do not allow for pacifist or alternative ways to achieve an end, something caused by taking Skill and SPECIAL checks away.

    - The weapon handling overhaul brought on by ID Software, and the Weapon and Armor drops with randomized stats, leave the game feeling like a mix of Borderlands and Far Cry with Dragon Age Inquisition's crafting system bolted on.

    - The story's direction and tone is a mess, and the voiced protagonist shows at every turn that Bethesda was not thinking about how a person frozen for 210 years would truly react to a world they once knew being changed so radically. (Some improvements were made in the Quest descriptions although that was a long-standing problem that shouldn't have been one post-Morrowind.)

    - The game is a slog to get through, even with the changes made to gameplay. The reason is you have next to no incentive to partake in any of the quests or side activities because they grind against what the game was built to allow with barriers to progression taken away. Again, this hearkens back to Morrowind, which told you to go explore and gain levels and which locked down higher tiers of quests until your character was of the right character level or skill level to take them on. Having actors who don't sound interested in the roles they have doesn't help.

    - Skipping parts of the Main Quest if critical information or locations were discovered in other ways, like players could do in past games, is impossible.

    - Settlement Building, like many things in Fallout 4, are distractions that remind you of far better games you could be playing that use the mechanics on offer.

    - The Endings are a joke, and made more so because of how few game-changing choices outside of faction choice you have throughout Fallout 4.

    - Bugs upon bugs, which many mainstream reviewers seem to have glossed over in the pre-release reviews. I've had the game freeze my controls, and my character in place after the cryopod opened, three times in a row, weapons disappearing when using them, notices of my settlements being low on something only to be corrected or not show as soon as I get back, and many other things like this. Bethesda has no excuse for this.

    Do not buy this game in its current state. Rent it from Redbox and wait for the GOTY release to be on sale for $30. Then it will be worth the money you spend on it.    … Expand

But I won't. I'm giving it an honest score. Just because some others have been unfairly AGAINST Fallout 4 doesn't mean I'm gonna be unfairly FOR it. These guys deserve better. Their praise will come HONEST.

    Let me just get this out of the way. I've got a pretty nice collection of GOOD xbox one games now. Despite this, Fallout 4 has been the ONLY game I've played since I went and picked it up. I got it the day after it came out. I expected to see a few ugly-ish bugs that would soon be fixed as seems to be Bethesda's M.O. To my surprise the bugs were mostly minimal. I couldn't manage to remove custom markers from the map and my companions had an annoying way of being right where I needed to go and blocking my path. Big deal. I sent Dogmeat back to Sanctuary to wait for some sort of patch and the markers? Well, who cares? That marker bug is now gone anyhow.

    I've loved the Fallout games since the original, I even liked Fallout Tactics which I did feel was a bit light on the story line and world immersion but I love the lore and world so much that that didn't matter. I love Fallout and I like tactical RPG's like FFT and Fire Emblem so yay! Anyways, to be clear, NO, Fallout is no longer what it was when Brian Fargo and Interplay dreamed it up. In some ways it's come a long way and in a few others it has regressed. I'd complain about that regression but A) Bethesda's Fallouts have been good even when they were bad(like New Vegas, I'll get to that in a minute) and B) If I miss the old school Fallout that much then I'll go to my computer and play it or I'll put in Wasteland 2: Director's Cut. Problem solved.

    So, Fallout 4. I was looking forward to Fallout 4(to put it mildly)ever since I finished the last Fallout 3 DLC, I had hoped that New Vegas would tide me over but it really didn't because New Vegas may have felt and looked like Fallout but the perks and quest rewards were way too bland. Caps and XP, that was the reward for EVERY quest in New Vegas. Hardly any unique weapons to find and the whole mystique of the Mohave wasteland was just, barely realized. Barely. For another game New Vegas was cool but for another Fallout game New Vegas was only passable at best. Enter Fallout 4, finally that moment to moment wonder I missed so much from Fallout 3 is back! The feeling I get when I enter a new area where I'm thinking "ooh, what am I gonna find in here? What wackiness is going to be going on?" That's back. Fallout actually has a sense of mystery and intrigue to it again! And there is ACTUALLY something to discover, like in Fallout 3, not false hope after false hope like New Vegas ultimately gave me. I liked New Vegas, don't get me wrong but it was a step backwards from Fallout 3. Anyways, sorry, my biggest gripe with Fallout 4 ISN'T the graphics(no, the graphics aren't GREAT but they ARE passable, especially considering the content of the game), it's the consolidation of the level up system. I liked raising skills and picking a perk. The skills are still there and so are the perks but consolidating the two is crappy I feel. Being able to hack "expert" level terminals and THAT'S IT being the single reward for a level up is a bit lame. "Oh, need to be able to pick locks but also need to be able to do more damage with a weapon type? Gee I'm sorry, pick one." No. Absolutomente no.

    Pros:
    -Exploration is fun, mysterious and rewarding again
    -Combat is fun as ever, much tighter FPS system this time around
    -much more lively mutant beasts this time.
    -HUGE world(whoever said you could travel this world in 10 minutes DID NOT play Fallout 4, that's B.S.)
    -Legendary enemies with legendary loot appears at random
    -modding system is diverse and awesome
    -being able to manually exit V.A.T.S. is awesome!

    Cons:
    -having no skills list is disappointing
    -Not QUITE as "next gen" as I had imagined, but it's still top notch
    -Companions can block your path, big problem during firefights
    -Crafting is complicated and not fully explained.... I don't play Fallout to build a dream house anyway.

    Conclusion: Fallout 4 is awesome. If anything I think this is a good example of why over-hyping a GOOD game can be a bad thing for the game. The amount of hype that Fallout 4 got had me just about expecting it to be able to spawn a real life Mr. Handy that'd wash my dishes and make me macaroni and cheese and a milkshake. Even I feel a strange sense of disappointment that that's not the case, and I knew it wouldn't be. If you've liked the Fallout games then get this and watch yourself not regret it. However, if you want a hardcore tactical RPG type of experience rather than a post nuclear apocalyptic open world that's actually INTERESTING to steal your life away until this spring then I'd suggest Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition or Wasteland 2: Director's Cut because this game isn't as RPG-ish as the old school Fallouts are.    … Expand

After waiting 5 years since New Vegas came out, I thought that my very high expectations that I'd set were about to be destroyed based on the initial user reviews. Wrong. This game is incredible and is exactly what you'd expect from Bethesda. I would imagine that the people giving this game terrible reviews are either trolling, have never played a Fallout/Bethesda game before, didn't settle into the game, or just have poor taste in video games.

    While there are some major differences from previous releases, as far as the spoken dialogue and the much overhauled shooter mechanics, these elements only add to the betterment of the game, not subtract from it. I get that some people like to be in control of everything so the simplified SPECIAL system, where you can no longer put individual points in Lockpicking, Explosives, etc. might take away from their experience, however as gamers we're forced to evolve our play style just as the games evolve. There's no need to be afraid of change. It's going to be okay.

    Here are the pros:

    - The story is amazing. I found myself getting so wrapped up in the main story line that I'm pushing hard to complete it so I can start on some side quests. But as a father in real life, I can't imagine putting the main objective on hold to go help out some wanker kid who needs his water source cleaned up.
    - Shooter mechanics have been greatly improved. It doesn't rival a traditional FPS and is nowhere near Destiny good, but considering how bad it's traditionally been, I was ecstatic that I could aim down sights and actually hit something.
    - The graphics are good (not great), but they dynamic colors of everything are what really make a difference. I didn't care for the green tint in FO3 or the Orangish tint in NV. This makes the world vibrant and a little less daunting.
    - The ghouls are creepy as hell. Bethesda really did a great job with this.
    - Crafting system is great, and I love the weapon mods.
    - There are so many more little things that make this game great, but the main takeaway is if you're looking for an immersive world to spend a couple hundred hours in, then FO4 is for you.

    The Bad:
    - There have been a few glitches that I've encountered, and only one that had any real impact on my game. Luckily, I'm a pretty avid saver and it only put me back a few minutes.
    - You'll probably feel pretty lost for the first few hours, however once you get going with the quests they begin rolling in pretty regularly.

    Unsure
    - The settlement feature. I haven't played around with this enough to have an opinion either way. I think I would like it more if I was one of these super-creative people. But I struggled for an hour putting up a fence. Probably one aspect that I won't spend a lot of time with in the future.    … Expand

No. But it's the best game I have played on Xbox One and maybe my favorite video game ever. I say that having logged about 25+ hours in the game. I don't understand the hate on the graphics, I think they look great for an open world shooter. The frame rate is mostly stable, and there is pretty good draw distance. The day/night cycle looks great and random weather like rain and radiation storms add to the variety. The music is great and adds to the atmosphere.

    The gameplay is much smoother than previous Fallouts and VATS is implemented better than before. You get to create your own character and upgrade him/her the way you want. The modding for the guns and armor is awesome and will have you combing the environment for materials . I've also spent a fair amount of time building my own house from the ground up and customizing my own settlement, which is a bit tricky to figure out but very rewarding.

    If you are looking for a great open world game, a great RPG, or even a just a great shooter, Fallout 4 is your game. It is a mashup of all video game genres and it is fantastic. I don't know where all the hate is coming from, but if you just play it for yourself I don't think you'll be disappointed.    … Expand

    This game is probably one of the best games I've played in a long time. It's keeping me so hooked that I've played ~30 hours since the release and I can't stop.
    Sure it's missing some things like weapon degradation, a karma system and some alternatives do going guns 'blazin (such as the Charisma approach) but it's still a wonderful game which I'm impressed by.

I can assure you this game is not a zero, and it certainly isn't perfect. Let's go over the good and bad of this game.

    First, let me list some of the good things in this game. Right off the bat, you are treated to some entertaining videos while the game installs. This, along with the poster that comes with the game, is a fantastic way to kill time during install. Once the game starts, you’ll note that the gameplay overall has been greatly improved. While roaming the wastes and killing, looting has been made easier and faster (although inventory remains a pain) and V.A.T.S has been balanced for a better challenge (in Fallout 4, time does not freeze while aiming in VATS). The dialogue system borrows from the effective Skyrim model; but sadly all dialogue options usually offer little variety. I did admire the voice acting from our main created character, which is new for Bethesda RPG's. For me, it made the game much more engrossing. Surprisingly, though, the other voice actors are rather bland. The facial animations in this game are also incredible, and really show what the Xbox one can be capable of.

    Another great addition to this game is the town building system. You can now enter 'builder mode' at certain designated places, and start to build your own house and community. This game mode is insanely fun, and also finally puts to use all those junk items you may find in the wasteland. Anything you find can be turned into building materials or used for decoration in your house. So addicting!

    Now, for the bad things that hold the game back. Just like most Bethesda games at release, Fallout 4 was also very buggy. In addition to small glitches, the game has also crashed before on my Xbox One. In the 45 hours I have played the game, it has crashed twice, and three of my save files have been inexplicably corrupted upon return. I found these bugs and crashes unacceptable for veterans such as Bethesda. The frame rate was another inexcusable blunder as well, as at times it can dip to almost unplayable rates while in a large city skirmish. Oh, and get used to being sent out to a lot of the same places to fight the same enemies while helping the Minutemen or Brotherhood; these were some of the most repetitive and uninventive quests I’ve played in a Bethesda game. They were more like MMO ‘fetch’ quests; somehow even worse than the lame Skyrim civil war whose missions were essentially the same no matter which faction you allied with.

    Another bad part of the game is it's storyline. I have to admit, this is the least amount of effort ever put into the story of a Bethesda RPG. Remember Fallout 3? We spent time with the main characters from birth until adult age. That is crazy good character development, and commitment to telling a good story. Although I have not yet finished the game, this story gets off to a rather quick start, and thrusts you right into the wastes before you know it; not allowing any characters to be properly flushed out and established. This was a mistake on Bethesda’s part. Also, what’s with the ‘awkward’ Diamond city radio DJ? Is he supposed to be funny…?

    All in all, even with the issues, I keep the rating high, because I’ve enjoyed playing it so much, and you will get many many hours out of this game. With the number of characters you can make, along with build mode and quests, you won’t be bored. As always, I’m sure Bethesda will patch almost all of these glitches very soon and the game will vastly improve. In my opinion, this is the game of the year by far. In these dark times of gaming, Fallout 4 is a shining light of hope in the wasteland of horrible games and micro transactions.    … Expand

I have over 3,000 hours into fallout new vegas, and over 1k hours into fallout 3. I thought that Fallout 4 was going to be every bit as good as the prequels, and more. However what I have is a steaming pile of garbage that has been thickly coated with paint, with some glitter and sparkles to entice.

    I cannot even begin to describe what I feel is wrong about this game, so lets start out by saying that its Fallout for dummies. Throughout the entirety of the game I feel as though I am in a tutorial, and despite my trying to move forward and progress the game stays simplistic, easy, and redundant, with more boundaries than you can even fathom. After 10 hours of playing on survival difficulty with my first character, I had figured that I had discovered some overpowered build that hasn't been patched yet. As it turns out, throughout the entire game, regardless of what difficulty you play on, so long as you follow the standard main quest path, you will not be challenged in any way whatsoever even until the final mission.

    So what about going on an adventure to some random, unknown area of the map away from the main quest? You could make your character, level up 1 or 2 times, and head out into the wasteland, right? No. You see, Bethesda had this idea for Fallout 4. The idea was to remove every possible sliver of fun that was leftover from the prequels. We could technically wander the wasteland, however you would not enjoy fighting enemies after venturing out further than 40% east or 60% south of vault 111. The reason is that Bethesda decided it would be a good idea to go the route of creating a level barrier on enemies. While you can fight enemies that are much higher level than you, your weapons will deal virtually no damage, and the enemies will gain a massive damage bonus based on their level. You may put points into related damage boosting perks, and find legendary weapons, but none of this will be of a great deal of use until your character level has caught up with theirs. Gone are the days of playing Fallout 3/NV for fun, and going off into some incredibly fortified, difficult area that is not meant to be traveled by a mere level 5, and coming out victorious through your sheer wit and skill. This is technically still a possibility, however the damage reduction to your weapon, and the enemy bonus damage removes any enjoyment that would come with fighting one of these high level characters.

    -----
    Now on to the most terrible, horrific thing that Bethesda has done to the beloved Fallout series.

    -LEVELING.
    Who knew that leveling up in a game titled "Fallout" could feel so terribly unsatisfying? Everything that we knew and loved about Fallout has been destroyed, including the enjoyment of leveling up, and fine-tuning your character to your own play style. Let me ask you a question, and I want you to think long and hard about this before you answer... -What is the point of a perk, if you are going to get every single one of them anyways?-. Can someone tell me why we even get to choose when we level up? If I have to be level 15 to get the rank 2 of whatever perk I want, I would be able to get ALL TEN of the rank 1 perks of an attribute before hand, and then 5 more of a different attribute before I would be able to repeat the process again to get a tier 2 perk. What in the hell Bethesda. I wanted to specialize my character into a particular field. I'm playing an RPG, if I want to be a thief, I shouldnt have to wait until I'm level 30 to pick master locks, if I want to dedicate all of my points into lockpicking, and neglect combat, that should be my own decision, not yours.

    Additionally, there are FAR less opportunities for you to negotiate with wastelanders through your adventure. In Fallout New Vegas you were bartering, lying, manipulating, and communicating with others from the very first few minutes of the game and onward. Fallout 4 doesn't even come remotely close, with the majority of areas having only a single direct mission to accomplish, and occasionally a speech check for extra caps when you complete it.

    Fallout 4 is just another example of why video games today have become dry, terrible time-wasters that require no thought. What we have here is a below average FPS (Not an RPG) that has you running around killing massive amounts of raiders with no backstory or interactions.

    Also your city building is broken. All my buildings are floating off the ground, and grass is shooting up through the floor.

    1/10 Good job Bethesda, you actually made a terrible game for a change. I'm sorry to see this happen.    … Expand

    / Solid first person shooting mechanics, nothing exceptional, but a definite step up from previous games
    / Decent visuals and sounds
    / Settlement crafting...nice idea, but feels in an alpha stage, "tacked on" and without any ties to main story or quests
    - Classical issues with Performance, bugs, glitches...very poor optimization which is completely inexcusable when done by a studio of this size, considering it's an engine they should be VERY familiar with
    ( Funny note: Their engine is probably older than those here, who give this game a high score)
    - Horrid UI design, floaty movement, lack of game customization options, keybinding problems, poor controls
    - Retarded companion and enemy AI
    - Clumsy Melee combat, little enemy variety, unbalanced difficulty ( bullet sponges, grenade spamming...)
    - Character progression ( through both story line and game mechanics), loss of distinctive Fallout rpg elements (karma, skill checks, traits, New Vegas hardcore mode...)
    - Lore inconsistency, lack of witty humor...game has none of that Fallout "charisma"
    - Main story( cross over between Star Wars and Terminator porn, but without sex ), pacing and presentation
    - Poor Side quest design, almost all in line with Skyrim/ MMO "quality"
    - Low quality Voice acting ( even with Courtney Taylor), dialogue, characters, lip sync and animations

    Personal rant:

    After finishing Last of Us and Wild Hunt recently, there is a jarring, absolutely non subjective drop in quality you'll notice immediately when jumping into Fallout IV ( and No, it goes far beyond just texture resolution or flow of animations)...almost like going from Oscar winner or a great HBO drama to low budget porn.

    Fallout IV is neither bad or good, but flat out feels unimpressive, uninspired, unpolished and outdated.

    If this was done by a small, emerging studio, fair rating would be somewhere between 4-6, but this kind of blatant laziness and incompetence should not be rewarded.
    This game was done by a company that relies on massively influential PR to sell, while it's left to the modding scene to add any real quality to their games ( on whose efforts they also tried to cash in, since they were going bankrupt at the time).

    Show some integrity and intelligence people... and instead support developers that are far more deserving of our time and money.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is definitely going to be game of the year with a large open world, a large variety of perks, weapons, armor, and so much more.

    A Dead Land: The game excels when it comes to its open world. Lots of enemies, new ways explore the world, and it's been reported that Fallout 4's map size is 11 minutes long vertically. And trust me it's large. The game looks gorgeous with a new creation engine. Some people say it isn't graphically up to date but you have to admit, it is a giant leap from Fallout New Vegas (2010). Plus with lots of new radio stations and lots of side quests in which other companions could possibly react towards the actions of these side missions and some may interest you. You can also create your own settlement that you have to keep resourced, defended, and a simple place to let settlers rest and go on with their business.

    200-Life Crysis: The game takes place a few minutes or hours "depending how long you create your character" before the bombs have dropped. So you soon enter Vault 111 where a freak experiment goes horribly wrong. Since your 200 year cryogenic stasis, takes you deep into the future in where you have to find your son Shaun who has been kidnapped by the institute a isis like group who kidnaps survivors of the commonwealth. So it is your job to take him back.

    Guns n' more bullets: Shooting is more playable. V.A.T.S. is still a thing in this Fallout installment but shooting a gun feels more shooty than your average Fallout game. Your guns no longer break so you can shoot with letting it break but it looses a more survival focused aspect but I didn't like survival focused aspects anyway. You can also customize your amazing little guy into a F***ing beast, with re-naming it, adding new weapon mods that are available to all weapons. Legendary enemies drop legendary loot and it is either amazing or surprising. You can also choose when you want to get a critical strike on an enemy or not. It you get enough hits on enemies, you will build up a bar that will fill up and create an execution command and vats no longer pause the game it will slow it down the game leaving vulnerable to an easy but cheap death, so act fast.

    The Uglies returned: Enemies look more disgusting and more terrifying than ever before. With new ones such as bloodbugs and synths. Oh and if you hate deathclaws they're back and deadlier than ever. Enemies with a star next to them represent Legendary enemies. Enemies featured with a skull next to them, f***ing run. You can guess who is the first is to encounter.

    Packin' a punch: The amount of base perks built in to the game are over 70 but go a little deeper and you will find over 200 perks. How, they are counted a mini perks to a perk. Let that sync in to your head before moving on. Bobbleheads make a return but a little more impactful than Fallout 3. A little hint the perception bobblehead is the first to be found usually.

    The game runs at 1080p, 30fps or so I've heard. Smooth for the most part but sometimes dips but no where below 20fps. Lowest: 24fps that I have seen. Also mods are on Xbox One now. WOOHOO!

    À mon retour, on me demande : "Alors, comment il est le nouveau Fallout ?"

    Fallout 4 est très bon. Pour ses premières heures après sa sortie, sur la version sur Xbox One, il n'y a pas de bogues qui empêchent de progresser. Quelques "glitches" à l'affichage et quelques ralentissements. Et un seul plantage en 20 heures de jeu. Ce qui n'est pas mal lorsqu'on le compare avec les autres jeux de l'industrie de ces dernières années...

    Il est différent du 3e titre et c'est pour ça que les critiques des fans sont négatives. Il n'y a de simulation de l'usure de l'équipement, ni de système de Karma... Cependant, les compagnons jugent nos actions. Si les choses ne vont pas comme ils le veulent, ils deviennent moins coopératifs. C'est moins éprouvant que d'avoir des chasseurs de prime qui veulent votre peau et une réputation qui vous précède partout où vous vous rendez, nous sommes d'accord. Du point de vu "game design", j'ai trouvé intéressant de constater le changement sur la dynamique lorsqu'on retire la mécanique du Karma. C'est un exemple qui prouve qu'une idée aussi simple soit-elle peut changer l'expérience du joueur.

    Cependant, Lorsqu'on apprend à connaître les nouveautés, on peut se consoler. Fallout 4 nous offre l'opportunité de donner des toits, de l'électricité et des défenses à la population afin de créer des communautés organisées qui pratiquent entre autres l'agriculture. C'est une activité complètement facultative, mais elle est aussi étonnamment addictive.

    Une autre nouveauté qui s'ajoute au cycle du jour et de la nuit : un système de température. Il peut faire ensoleillé ou pleuvoir... ou y avoir des orages électriques. Ces derniers sont tenaces, car les éclairs libèrent la radiation dans le sol ce qui rend l'air contaminé. Du coup, notre personnage s'empoisonne en plus de risquer d'être frappé par la foudre. J'adore !

    Nous avons aussi la possibilité de modifier notre équipement, armes et protections, avec tout ce que l'on trouve. On peut également cuisiner nos aliments et nos médicaments ce qui permet d'être moins dépendant des soins offerts qui peuvent être très coûteux.

    On comprend que Bethesda a voulu faire évoluer son titre. Pourquoi se contenter d'une copie de l'ancien aux graphiques améliorés avec une nouvelle histoire ?

    La jouabilité et les graphiques sont améliorés. La musique est toujours d'aussi grande qualité : chapeau Inon Zur !! Les narrations sont agréables. Cependant, j'ai l'impression que nous avons moins de possibilités de dialogue que dans le titre précédent... Encore une fois, c'est facile de perdre la notion du temps durant des heures.

    Finalement, pour moi, Fallout 4 est moins une simulation de survie qu'il l'a été avec Fallout 3. C'est maintenant un FPS avec des éléments de RPG dans un monde ouvert... Et probablement le meilleur dont j'ai fait l'expérience jusqu'à aujourd'hui.    … Expand

People trying to play this game like any other first person shooter are doing it WRONG. This is Fallout, they stated the gun play was inspired by Destiny, but if you try to play this game like Destiny you will fail! If you want a full grasp on the real success of this game, just play Fallout 3, and everything will be understood. The Fallout universe has a very original lore and requires the proper understanding to give it it's full appreciation. You cannot move from Call of Duty to Fallout and expect to enjoy it, it's and open world with infinite possibilities just like it was advertised, and it's everything I could have asked for since the previous Fallout games, and Bethesda managed to keep it a secret from me until the last moment, those sneaky devils... :D… Expand

    After playing this game for about 10 hours, I have to say I'm quite impressed. There are some issues, sure, but they aren't bad enough to take away the overall enjoyment from the game. Looking at the negative reviews, the most talked about issues are the bugs, the graphics, and some game mechanics, particularly the leveling system and story. Here's my personal response to each of those:After playing this game for about 10 hours, I have to say I'm quite impressed. There are some issues, sure, but they aren't bad enough to take away the overall enjoyment from the game. Looking at the negative reviews, the most talked about issues are the bugs, the graphics, and some game mechanics, particularly the leveling system and story. Here's my personal response to each of those:

    -Bugs: this I will agree with, in that, by this point, Bethesda should've updated their game engine, as all their games have had them. On that note, ALL Bethesda games have had bugs, as have pretty much ALL games at launch. They aren't game crashing (Arkham Knight for PC or Assassin's Creed: Unity, anyone?), so ultimately, they don't matter.

    -Graphics: really? The graphics are "sub-par"? Compared to a Call of Duty or Star Wars: Battlefront, I totally agree...until I remember that the size of this game is SO much larger than any of the other games. For the size of this game, they are awesome. If they were the level of Battlefront, the download size would be MUCH higher, and that's what you would be complaining about instead.

    -Leveling system: The new perk system, I agree, takes some getting used to. The whole frustration with being able to add in points to your stats, though...given how Bethesda was going for making a life in the game, it makes sense. Don't you, as time goes on and with work, get stronger, faster, smarter, more aware, etc? Why not have that same freedom with your game character? Makes sense to me...
    -Story/NPCs: I will save this one, as admittedly I have not delved as much yet into the main story. I've been busy doing the countless other things you can do in the game.

    Now that that's done, here's what I feel Bethesda did right, in addition to the above:

    -Freedom: I love how I be literally anyone, and do literally anything in this game. The possibilities are endless. I've played the game for over 10 hours already, and just barely touched the main story, and that was only so I could get to a place with more shops. This is also the staple of Bethesda games. And to fully appreciate their games, you HAVE to approach it with that mind-set. Any other expectation about their games, and, yes, you will be disappointed. Yes, many other "open world" games have better graphics and deeper story. They ALSO don't have the shear number of other stuff. There are very few games where I have as much fun just exploring as I do in Bethesda games. They really are the "create your own story" game makers. That's what I've always loved about their games, and they delivered yet again.

    Sorry but I've got a long rant to share for this one. What is with every "official source" saying that this is the game we have been waiting for with just a couple bugs and no real flaws? This is a Fallout 3 clone with an improved combat system but without any form of worthwhile dialogue. And the bugs. Dear God the bugs...

What is with every "official source" saying that this is the game we have been waiting for with just a couple bugs and no real flaws? This is a Fallout 3 clone with an improved combat system but without any form of worthwhile dialogue. And the bugs. Dear God the bugs...

    Here's the pros: Ghouls trip, we get scopes/mods, and a building system (which is completely bugged and not as rewarding as it should be). Yay.

    The graphics were something I didn't care about prerelease. This game was supposed to be so big and full of adventure that it shouldn't have mattered. Alas, that was not the case. The map was incredibly small and I've explored the majority of it already. Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Skyrim each took more time for me to explore with more subtle secrets to find (not one terminal in a central location for every map marker that explains everything). Seeing the plain faces and bodies as well as bad lip syncing in a game like this just hurts. 7 years for that. It doesn't nearly match up with other games it's size released around this time.

    The dialogue system is my biggest complaint. It ruins the entire experience. Gone are the days of talking to inconsequential characters about their lives and opinions on the state of the world. You used to be able to question random citizens about a city and use the hints they gave to find something interesting. Maybe even get to know them. Now we get "Hey" as our only option and a one line, unimportant or too direct response. Sometimes we even get the option of saying one of four lines that we have to guess the meaning of. Even that's rare. Dragon Age was able to pull this off flawlessly but it does not fit in Fallout and is used repulsively. The fact that trying to convince a character of something with a coinflip is also pretty annoying. That includes starting a romance.

    The companions are just a husk of what was seen in New Vegas. Those were interesting characters. Veronica was funny and had a backstory you could get into. Boone's story was even more engrossing with a serious character. There were more but we'll keep it down to two. Fallout 4 has Paige and Valentine stealing the spotlight. Randomly, they stop you while in a den of raiders or supermutants and begin to rant about their moderately interesting pasts which you cannot inquire further about. You only get two options when talking to them otherwise. Thoughts on the situation and how's our relationship. It doesn't feel like real companionship as Veronica and Boone brought. It feels like badly utilized and poorly written game characters.

    I'll give the short version for the bugs. About 20% of the time I played I was trying to get around a bug or just dealing with it. The building system would glitch and objects would float 3ft above my head instead of the flat ground so I'd have to reload. I have gotten my head stuck in so many random damaged buildings and feet stuck in so many holes that I lost count. Also, I'd finish a conversation with a character and they'd walk back up with the same line or give me the response to an option I didn't choose. (Specifically the director talking to me three times in a row at the Galleria and the mayor's assistant randomly being pissed about me asking her to help me. Which I didn't even do.) Instead of finding those cool easter eggs from earlier games, you find the glitches in this release.

    Even the storyline wasn't impressive. Just predictable and unimaginative. Games are meant to improve on their predecessors but Fallout 4 fell short. I love Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim, Morrowind, and the Dragon Age series (which it definitely pulled from) but this doesn't match up to their appeal for their respective times. Maybe the bar is just too high at this point.    … Expand

    It's bad. Really, really bad.
    -Once again, Bethesda, trying to emulate the great stories of the old Fallouts, involve a family. That's the easiest way to make the players feel something, yet they fail at that. The voiced protagonist doesn't help, you just don't feel anything, because bethesda can't write and nothing can help that.

The voiced protagonist doesn't help, you just don't feel anything, because bethesda can't write and nothing can help that.
    -Gameplay is taken from Borderland, but how can you justify "enchanted" guns that don't need reloading, or armor pieces that reflect damage, in a fallout game?! That's lame and tacky as hell. And lame and tacky are "radiation" guns. Guns that somehow shoot radiations that somehow kill on the spot and move the rag-dolls around like skyrim shouts. But we all know Bethesda doesn't understand physics and basic biology...
    -Then there is the power armor. The change is nice in term of gameplay, but... it's lore-raping. Fusion cores are supposed to last for a lifetime. There also a pre-war T-60. Too bad that pre-war production stopped at T-51.
    -There are cats, also a lore-raping thing, cats were extinct.
    -Where is the RPG component? It's nowhere to be seen. You don't make your own character, you'll always be the good dad, and the perk and SPECIAL systems dumbed down the game a lot. Some perk are even tacky and stupid, like the one that lets your breath underwater. How can you explain that?! It's not coherent with the universe or common sense!
    -Graphics are from 2008. Not bad, but not good. Animations are mediocre like always. Fewer glitches, but they are still there.
    -Homestead building is mediocre too. You get to build only **** huts made out of scraps.
    -The world is not big at all, in 10 minutes you can go around all of it.
    -I can't think about anything else to say, but there is more to cover, I bet... Perhaps I should have said the good things. Oh wait, nothing comes to mind.
    -Oh right! No faction reputation and no karma! I suppose I should have put those when talking about the RPG component... Who cares? I bet nobody is reading this far. The fanboys have pressed the "no helpful" button when they saw the red number, and those that are actually considering to buy it have already understood the game is **** by the first 2 or 3 points.

    TL;DR: wait for the "Final Edition" with all DLCs to cost about 20$, it doesn't deserve anything more. You would think they learned few things from Obsidian, but nope, it's like they tried their best to go against the franchise.    … Expand

    I too am a long time Fallout fan going back to the first two Fallouts on PC. I am also a HUGE Bethesda fan, playing the Elder Scrolls series since Morrowind. Morrowind and Oblivion are some of my favorite RPGs of all time. With all that said Fallout 4 has been an incredible game with many interesting and fun elements. For all of you who don't like to read I'm going to do you a favor andI too am a long time Fallout fan going back to the first two Fallouts on PC. I am also a HUGE Bethesda fan, playing the Elder Scrolls series since Morrowind. Morrowind and Oblivion are some of my favorite RPGs of all time. With all that said Fallout 4 has been an incredible game with many interesting and fun elements. For all of you who don't like to read I'm going to do you a favor and break it down into four points: 1. Gameplay 2. Sound 3. New Features 4. Problems I have with it

    1. The gun gameplay is superb with so many guns and customizations to choose from no two guns feel the same. Sure the controls aren't as snappy or controllable as Battlefied or COD but that's hardly to be expected from an RPG... VATS is as helpful as always providing a helpful slow down to the madness during combat but now it keeps time going which adds an element of risk to your selection. Will they move in time to avoid your shot or dodge behind a piece of cover? Lastly because of the viewing distances sniping and long range combat is better than ever before. I personally like to run a ranged character specializing in sneak, perception, and agility. To conclude, the gameplay is classic Fallout at its best, refined and tuned to keep up with modern gaming but not too different to loose that frantic Fallout feel.

    2. So many of you have complained about the voice acting for the main characters and that it is a travesty equal to treason and punishable by death. Why?? When did having a voiced character become a bad thing? I must have been out of town and missed the memo. Just as many great games (Dragon Age Inquisition, Mass Effect, BioShock just to name a few) have done in the past Fallout has given a voice to our character. Maybe some of you don't like it because it takes away from your connection to the character? What ever it is if it really bothers you that much GET OVER IT. It is not a big deal its just a voice and doesn't take away from the gameplay and if it really bothers you that much you have my permission to plug your ears and hum a tune every time your character talks. Moving on, the music score is classic drawing much of the music that made FO3 great and adding some new classics.

    3. Customization out the wazzoo, Settlements, Facial sculpting, power armor customization, customization of weapons, customization, customization oh yeah and customization. There are so many things in this game that you can change and make your own! This leads to many different possibilities for dramatically different play throughs. Something to me that makes Bethesda RPGs so great are the many different customizations of character, weapons, skills, armor, and even story and FO4 delivers this over and over. Another new feature to add to this list are good graphics. I know that some of you will think "Wahh good graphics aren't a new feature wahhh" and I will respond by saying um yes they are. Maybe many of you forgot or just have issues with memory but FO3's graphics SUCK!! Seriously go back and try playing now you will be amazed at how poorly the graphics look. Want to know why? Because it is a massive game! you cant expect a game that huge to have photorealistic graphics (at least not yet). Here is a revelation that will amazing you... FO4 does have good graphics! Sure its not going to win any awards for its graphics but its on par with every other massive game Bethesda has come out with. So until all you people who whine about graphics get a masters degree in game/graphic design, can it.

    4. Lastly here are my problems: it wen the route of Skyrim. Bethesda has done this thing recently where it is trying to appeal to you silly casual gamers (what ever that is) and has dumbed down their game. Personally I thought Skyrim was only decent and lacked a TON of cool, albeit, more complicated features oblivion did (off the top of my head spell creation). Bethesda has done it again with FO4 where they have taken out some of the features that will in the long run make each of the characters you create more unique and lost some of its depth in gameplay. An example of this is the fact that now all you have for skills is the S.P.E.C.I.A.L system instead of each skill being leveled up with use. This makes it so that you don't have to learn to use skills before you put points into them and makes your character feel over powered right off the start. Secondly I wish they hadn't made power armor so abundant and so accessible right away... Power armor should be something you work to and establishes you as a king/queen of the wasteland later in the game.

    To recap this lengthy review (thanks to those who actually read this even though I doubt it was many). FO4 is an INCREDIBLE game that is only going to improve over time with updates and DLC. Give it a chance, stop being a cry baby, and actually try playing it through and you might realize that you have a piece of gaming history.    … Expand

    The reason I'm not giving this masterpiece a 10/10 is because that would mean it's absolutely perfect. Which I believe no matter how hard a game tries, it will never achieve that level of perfection, that said, Fallout 4 almost reaches that threshold. Nonetheless it still leaves some to be desired. The main quest line is a little short for my taste, but the almost overwhelming amount of side quests makes up for it. I have already sunk 30 hours into this beast, and I'm not ashamed to admit I'm addicted. There are currently some bugs, nothing absolutely game breaking, but annoying nonetheless. The gun play feels incredibly smooth, and it's satisfying to empty your reserves into an enemy's face. While they have completely abandoned skills, they replaced it with perks, a much better system I might add. There is no longer a morality system, but I always felt it was a little bland ,flawed, and albeit patronizing at times. If you need a game to tell you whether you made an ethical decision, well, you get the idea. The weapon/armor customization is to die for. So many possibilities, my favorite being a bayoneted rocket launcher for how impractical it sounds. Power armor feels more like, power armor, not another set of clothing that gives you the highest amount of defense. You will feel like a bad ass in that thing, and Bethesda's balancing solution was to make it run on fusion cores, meaning you can't wear it anytime anywhere. No longer do you have to worry about the condition of your weapon, a feature I'm sad to see go. I can go on and on about the mechanics, but the last one I feel on touching up on is the settlement builder. Needless to say I have spent over 10 hours messing with it, and it's completely optional. I love it, but if you don't there are no large repercussions, but you won't be able to reap their benefits and merits. Lastly, the graphics. Oh yes, they look surprisingly amazing, for a game of this size I mean. I was not expecting it to look this nice. Another reason I decided to to bestow this masterpiece a perfect score is the frame rate drops. It's not the most unstable thing in the world, but it could be a lot better. All-in-all, I love this game. It's a large leap from Bethesda's last entry into this franchise and I still feel I have a lot to experience. To be more precise I would give it a 9.75/10.    … Expand

    Sometimes beautiful, a bit broken, and really quite brilliant in many places, forgiving fans will adore Fallout 4. [Christmas 2015, p.60]

    More Fallout 3.9 than 4, but still absolutely essential. Skyrim 2 has a hard act to follow. [Jan 2016, p.67]
