    Fallout 4 has a pretty good map and lots of things to do. for the 20-30 bucks you can get it for today is worth it. Far Harbor DLC is great, nuka world is okay. The game as a whole is worth every dollar.

    I loved the addition of legendary equipment and workbenches BUT building my settlement became too large a part of the game for me. I love I finally have a reason to collect everything I come across but I hate the fact I often crawl from location to location (which is that place back to the nearest workshop)

    Excellent game, one of my favorites of all time. It isn't what many people wanted, but that doesn't make it a bad game in the slightest, or even a "bad fallout." The Far Harbor dlc makes it even better.

    A game, where you can dive in for hundreds of hours. The setting can't be beaten by any post-apocalyptic movie or game. Overall rating: 8.5.

    The game is very wide and long, but I enjoy its freedom to create things and places to visit in Boston. In which the protagonist has a voice, I liked him. The modification of weapons and naming them I liked. Some enemies are challenging, but they are more difficult depending on the weapons and range they are. Companions are a challenge to persuade and I really liked. It is a gem of Fallout.

I actually really enjoy to combat even though it is not incredibly polished. The crafting and building is so in-depth and addicting. The DLC's are all great and add so much to do. Far Harbor might be the best Fallout story yet. The humor in the game is also very funny. This is a game you can sink a ton of time into very easily. I fully recommend this game.

    Fallout es enorme, un mundo que se siente vivo, donde realmente no quisieras estar, la inmersión que ya es marca registrada de la casa está ahí en su máxima expresión Técnicamente falla sobre todo en las expresiones, pero compensa con historias interesantes y una exploración como no hay en otros juegos

    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

    Crafting and item hunting is fairly well done, although it would have been much more enjoyable without such a hash item weight limitation.

    At the beginning there are really not many interesting questchains. None of the factions seemed that interesting or intriguing to me at first. It does get better the more you progress. The new graphics patch has improved the visuals significantly, the environments look very good. Voice acting is sometimes not that good in german, but good in english.

    Many animations and coversation cutscenes are fairly wooden and not really believable. The writing sometimes doesnt seem to be very smart.

    The pip boy interface is a bloody nightmare. Locating a specific item is fairly hard and often not the entire name of an item is displayed. Navigating is not intuitive.

    The music is quite good, some City tunes are really beautiful.

    Overall the game felt a bit like a drag in the beginning, mainly due to the fairly lackluster, generic quests. However, this seems to be a game that gets better the longer you play. After a while the bizzarre world really captivates you quite nicely and the story picks up pace after a while    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Continuing on with Bethesda's control over the license of the Fallout franchise is their third dive into the world, or in this case, the fifth main title, Fallout 4. Faults with the first attempt at Fallout, such as the poor, drab graphics, repetitive textures, lack of weapon variety, and simplistic morality system have been fixed in Fallout 4, albeit, bring new problems of it's own. The world of the Commonwealth is seamless and has a emphasis on huge and expansive: roads actually look like they were once driven on, especially the sprawling highways and overpasses that hang over places like Boston or Lexington, instead of Fallout 3's single car overpass and highways that go to nowhere for no reason. Attention to detail was this games main focus, from the details inside and outside the buildings, to the ammo, the weapons, and the armor, giving them a more practical look that coincides with their ammo type. As for said weapons and armor, they have expanded through means of the crafting system, expanded upon the weapon mods from Fallout New Vegas; you can add powerful recievers, silence weapons, add beam splitters, and change the fire rate of certain weapons, as well as adding extra buffs to your armor as well. The same goes for Melee, although to a lesser extent. Armor components also deride on different parts of the arm and legs as well, rather than just simply being an outfit and a helmet from FO3. Which brings me to the Power Armor.

    Power Armor by far has been the most changed aspect of the previous game, now serving as a sort of 'Gundam Suit' rather than a heavier variant of the Outfit/Helmet set from FO3. You can add different parts of different power armors, from the weak T-45A to the most powerful X-01 power armors. Not only that, but like with basic armor components, you can add extra buffs based on what materials you have as well as what paints are available, which brings me to crafting. Collecting useless junk is actually useful compared to FO3, which only served to increase your cap rate, which by the way, has been balanced quite well in this game where you won't have 900,000 caps and nothing to spend them on. Shipments, ammo, guns, trading shops will all drain your cap amount significantly where you will have to consolidate said resources, so looting areas doesn't become a matter of collecting that one unique from said area.

    Although, here comes the first big negative. The Settlement System. Now, the settlement system was a good idea at the start: give you the opportunity to make civilization thrive again, but the micromanagement of 20+ separate settlements with settlers who will never be satisfied no matter if you have 5 different medical stores to keep happiness up, so you will be running from pillar to post to expend all your junk and caps to make more pointless stores to keep that arbitrary happiness meter up, assuming it works. The settlements in question glitch a lot, as some places will show up with unexplainable triangles on certain things, or inexplicably have no water or food resources despite the contrary. The Minutemen questline focuses on this heavily as a result, so if I were you, I would suggest avoiding this, as this will be the main crunch of your time, if you want to get right into the story.

    As for the story, it is ambiguous in it's morality system, as it doesn't hit you over the head with basic black and white statements: The institute is well off but isolationist and distrustworthy of life above the surface; The Brotherhood is powerful but otherwise opportunistic and militaristic in their control; and the Railroad wants freedom for all synths, at the great risk of said synths becoming raiders and terrorizing otherwise peaceful settlers. Minutemen is the only faction that will warrant an overall 'good' ending, as you only need to sacrifice one of the three main factions. It's a shame that the story does get heavily sideswiped by the intense focus on settlement building. As for the NPCS in question, there are positives, and negatives.

    NPC dialogue is a lot more fresher in previous installments, as I never came across an NPC with the same voice other than the same generic NPCS like Raiders or Settlers. Dialogue sounds more authentic, rather than a bit blocky or unaware, but ultimately, the dialogue wheel and making the protagonist actually speak was a mistake. It limits the ability to branch your character off in different ways, or find inventive ways to convince said NPCs or companions, although, Morality is not based on a meter and actually feels authentic as well, as you can feel the decisions you make affect others around you based on the affinity system, as well as making said choice felt throughout. But the dialogue wheel, combined with the streamlining of the leveling system to strictly a perk system, do limit your player choice as Charisma is the name of the game, as you will be able to pass all speech checks, gain all settlement perks, and woo any companion.    … Expand

New armour and weapon modding system is an amazing improvement on previous games. Power armour is badass and comes with its own mods too. The spoken dialogue and new conversation style was something I was really against but I stopped caring about it so much as the game went on and I feel like it really enhanced the story, which for the first and second act was really good. While also controversial, I found the new perk system fine and occasionally more intuitive than other editions, although I did find myself wishing for a little more variety in what new abilities they gave me.

    The story towards the end lacked as I didn't feel any kind of personal involvement. Things just kept happening around you. Also, the results of your sentence choices rarely have any effect on the overall direction of the conversation. In F:NV alliances could be brokered and factions ignored, but here there seems to be a 'kill everything' approach to all the faction storylines. This is also seen in the general mission variety, which usually boils down to a 'kill everything' checklist.

    Oh and of course, bugs. Lots of bugs.

    I think Fallout 4 managed to become an enjoyable experience greater than the sum of its parts. Glaring flaws make it far from a perfect game but it is definitely worth the money for its 60+ hours of quality gameplay, For those it really clicks with hundreds more hours can surely be found in the nooks and crannies of the wasteland.    … Expand

    Let's compare Fallout 4 to Fallout 3- as I feel it would be a good way to explain the flaws and strengths of Fallout 4.

    When I first turned on Fallout 3 years ago it was amazing to say the least.

Now Fallout 4 is good (maybe    Let's compare Fallout 4 to Fallout 3- as I feel it would be a good way to explain the flaws and strengths of Fallout 4.

    When I first turned on Fallout 3 years ago it was amazing to say the least. The open endedness of it, the deep levels of interaction, the heavy and depressing world- it all combined to create one of the greatest gaming experiances ever. Now Fallout 4 is good (maybe great) but fails to capture that feeling of Fallout 4. Lets start then with what Fallout 4 does worse.

    Worse
    -The world lacks the same heavy depressing feeling found in Fallout 3. This does not feel like a world ravaged by nuclear war- but rather a dirty city. It lacks that authticity that made F3 so great
    -There is almost no world interaction. The days of trying to find a way around a mission by pickpocketing, or hacking, or speech checks is over. EVERY mission is shot everything and leave. Without fail- every single mission.
    -The factions are less engaging, the plot less believable
    -Character motivations seem forced
    -Graphics, while generally better, are too cartoonish. It lacks that raw brutality found in F3.
    -No Karma system!!! Makes no sense
    -You'll never steal or even be temped to because the world of F4 is plentiful and provides all the **** you need. It lacks the feeling of a apocalyptic wasteland
    -Stronger story
    -F4 lacks the awesome RPG systems of F3. It lacks any skills- instead of upgrading your "big guns" or "medicine" skill and then picking a perk- you just pick a perk. It restricts the level of engagement with the character.

    Better
    -WAY WAY better shooting mechanics
    -The whole "pick your ending" thing was really cool
    -Great companions
    -More diverse and jam packed world
    -Great side missions, more developed
    -Power armor is better
    -Weapon crafting
    -General armor is better
    -No weapon degrading, thank god
    -Weapon diversity is great
    -Larger arsenal of weapons
    -Settlement system is cool but lacks any real use, seems half finished and undeveloped. Could be added onto and made better though

    Sadly Fallout 4 is not a step towards a better game. Rather it is a small step back. Don't get me wrong it is a fun game and I loved it. However Bethesda abandoned the deep RPG elements and involved world in favor of making a strong shooting game. It needs to have a return to form for the series before it becomes another COD shooter, in a long line of COD shooters    … Expand

Romance: I was so happy about it, but the romance plot consisted in just some dull dialogues, no kisses, no sex scenes, it was all so.... childish... maybe good for pimpy wankers but I'm an adult woman.

Good thing my character has a voice now but dialogues are oversimplified. Old gen graphics with awful textures. Many interesting characters that could and should have been developed more in depth. Bugs and glitches everywhere. Could have been a good game but... disappointing!… Expand

    Fallout 4 is truly a remarkable experience and you need to play it.

    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]
