    An incredible game and an incredible journey. The definitive Fallout, so far.

    IF you loved Fallout 3 and Skyrim, then you should love this. The freedom of play and immersion are second to none. The settlement building aspect, as well as the modding community, ensures the longevity of the experience. I have played this game for years and years,

    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

    Um resumo antes de irmos mais a fundo nessa review: O jeito em que tudo funciona neste jogo é sensacional. 10 anos atrás eu tentei jogar Fallout 3 e simplesmente a experiência não chegou nem perto do que tive com Fallout 4. O mundo é fantástico, a exploração é prazerosa, o combate é lento porém satisfatório, a progressão funciona exatamente como deveria funcionar em um jogo desse tipo. OUm resumo antes de irmos mais a fundo nessa review: O jeito em que tudo funciona neste jogo é sensacional. 10 anos atrás eu tentei jogar Fallout 3 e simplesmente a experiência não chegou nem perto do que tive com Fallout 4. O mundo é fantástico, a exploração é prazerosa, o combate é lento porém satisfatório, a progressão funciona exatamente como deveria funcionar em um jogo desse tipo. O que eu senti jogando Fallout New Vegas (preciso jogar mais para ter um local de fala adequado, mas saiba que eu joguei Fallout New Vegas por algumas horas) é que o jogo é um ótimo RPG e um péssimo jogo de Ação, a mecanica é lenta, as armas são terríveis, a movimentação é péssima; Fallout 4 é o contrário de tudo isso.

    Acho que o maior detalhe que eu quero destacar aqui é que este é um jogo da Bethesda, ou seja, não tem um modo 'correto' de se jogar, você apenas faz o seu jogo e quando decidir que é hora de seguir alguma quest então será a hora de fazê-la. O que mais me impressionou é a profundidade em que as coisas ocorrem no mundo, simplesmente ao andar por ai você consegue perceber que as coisas acontecem, e isso é simplesmente (fantástico) natural, esse jogo funciona a modo de te engajar em seus pequenos detalhes de mundo, em quests extremamente bem colocadas no cenário, seja uma carta em um local, seja com um complexo labirinto cheio de armadilhas, ou seja ao encontrar uma pessoa vivendo reclusa no meio do nada e que precisa da sua ajuda. A todo momento este jogo grita "por favor não use a viagem rápida", pois ao andar você irá encontrar a maior parte do conteúdo por trás do mundo de Fallout 4. Para finalizar este tópico gostaria de destacar a beleza destruidora de Boston neste game. Pra ser sincero, os gráficos são okay, já se passaram 8 anos no momento em que estou escrevendo essa review, a iluminação e os detalhes do clima, como os raios divinos, a neblina na parte da manhã, e as tempestades cheias de radiação (que criam uma atmosfera única e assustadora, principalmente na primeira vez que você precensia isso) irão envelhecer muito bem com o passar dos anos; um trabalho fantástico por parte da Bethesda.

    A progressão nos níveis e o sistema S.P.E.C.I.A.L são definitivamente um dos meus pontos com sentimentos mistos. Eu gosto da experiência de lentamente progredir no game, isso faz com que eu tenha que pensar exatamente em como distribuir meus pontos para fazer minha build. Mas ainda assim, em alguns momentos senti uma dificuldade imensa em progredir, tendo que farmar em algumas quests, em especial as com as crianças chatas da Irmandade do Aço. Ainda com essa lentidão, ao distribuir corretamente cada ponto e ver seu personagem com um dano aumentado ou com alguma habilidade nova, você sente que está fazendo um progresso dopaminoso; é simplesmente incrível como essa terrível demora faz com que cada level up valha a pena.

    O sistema de construção é uma das partes destaque deste jogo, é compreensível que a Bethesda queira vender DLC com mais objetos para o modo criação, mas criar sistemas de farm de level up é abuso da paciência do consumidor (eu me refiro as traps, que são indiscutivelmente o melhor sistema de farm de nível neste jogo). Não há muito a declarar a não ser que exige muita paciência para montar seu abrigo corretamente, mas isso é uma jogada interessante e herdada do grandioso Skyrim. Acima de tudo é muito interessante montar seu própio assentamento.

    Alguns contras:

    Design de armas limitado.
    Não achei nenhum modo de fazer uma arma realmente muito forte, como é possível em Cyberpunk 2077.
    Sistema de parceiros limita a gameplay (perk lone wanderer só funciona com o dogmeat).
    Poucos modos de farmar XP fora das DLCs.
    Plot genérico.

    Alguns (pequenos) pros:
    Ótima voz para o personagem principal (feminino).
    Dificuldade se adpta à você, e você pode adptá-la manualmente.
    Opções de diálogo fantásticas.
    OST razoável, se encaixa bem no mundo do jogo.
    Você pode correr (não é fantástico, Fallout New Vegas?)

    Fallout 4 é obrigatório!

    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

    I have done 100% of this game and I have to say I enjoy it. It has lots of content not to mention DLC my only problem is how badly polished this game is and how much it will crash in the middle of playing. Overall worth the money.

    La meilleure chose qui pouvait arriver à la licence Fallout était d’atterrir chez Bethesda : Fallout 3 en fut le premier bénéficiaire, puis il y eut le Fallout 3.5 NV réalisé par Obsidian, le spécialiste des (bonnes) suites mais depuis 2010… on attendait, on espérait le Fallout nouveau et Bethesda le cachottier fignolait dans ses laboratoires quelque chose d’extraordinaire.

    Bethesda a su faire évoluer avec brio et intelligence son monde : il est plus ouvert que jamais, grand mais pas trop ! L’ajout du mini-jeu (qui n’a rien de « mini » en vérité), ce jeu qui est un jeu dans le jeu, à savoir la simulation de construction pour « mes Sims de la post-apocalypse nucléaire », totalement optionnel et totalement indispensable, est une idée de génie. Tout le bric-à-brac qu’on récupère a enfin sa noble utilité : reconstruire le ‘Commonwealth’ ! pourvoir aux besoins et au développement de ses colonies permet d’imprimer sa marque sur le monde dévasté : le développement durable en somme et quelle leçon de tri et d’écologie… prenez-en de la graine.

    Bethesda a amélioré grandement la mise en scène : auparavant tout était bloqué en vue subjective ; ce n’est plus le cas et on sent une nette inspiration biowarienne. Notre personnage parle (enfin !) et les conversations sont « cadrées ». Ce n’est pas non plus la foire aux cinématiques, non, non : pas le genre de la maison mais ça change. Les compagnons potentiels sont légion et chacun a sa propre histoire et sa propre quête… ils ne sont plus de simples mules mais ont quelques compétences qui pourront s’avérer très utiles.

    Ce qui ne change pas ou si peu, c’est le SVAV désormais en temps très ralenti au lieu de rester figé et la gestion des coups critiques via une jauge : un régal ! le SVAV reste le meilleur système de combat actuel, couplé à l’interface exemplaire du fabuleux Pipboy. Dans le cas éventuel où le SVAV ne vous branche pas, jouez en temps réel sans aucun souci !

    Bethesda a revu les compétences et viré ce qui était trop restrictif, ce qui bridait notre liberté de choix et d’action : plus besoin de répartir des points dans les armes à énergie, à feu, lourdes, à mains nues etc et de devoir en choisir une pour se priver des autres ! si je mets les pattes sur un lance-roquettes, je peux l’utiliser et je ne m’en prive pas !

    Les seules restrictions concernent certaines compétences liées à un niveau général minimum et bien sûr, celles qui dépendent du système SPECIAL. Très nombreuses, ces compétences permettent de paramétrer notre aventure et notre façon de jouer à notre guise. Une entière furtivité par exemple ? un distributeur de mandales, un pro du discours ? c’est possible !

    Dans cette optique, les drogues que l’on peut fabriquer délivrent des capacités et avantages non négligeables ; idem pour les armures ou les flingues monstrueux que l’on peut également optimiser voire carrément métamorphoser tant les combinaisons sont nombreuses. Même la bouffe et ses nombreuses recettes, même l’armure assistée sont personnalisables et bidouillables via tout ce qu’on peut ramasser dans le Commonwealth. Ainsi, la liberté n’est pas un vain mot dans F4, le jeu s’adapte à votre humeur !

    Bien entendu, la quête principale est moins « libre » pour garder sa cohérence mais chaque étape peut attendre si vous avez envie d’aller voir ailleurs… et il y a tant de choses à voir… et à tuer. Bethesda a repris le principe des factions de New Vegas, des factions bien délimitées ici et toutes séduisantes… le plus dur sera de choisir. On notera d’ailleurs que toutes les factions sont faisables au contraire de Fallout New Vegas et de sa foire aux bugs lors de certains choix.

    Techniquement très présentable, F4 reste bien joli avec sa belle gestion de la lumière et des effets météo. Quelques accrocs sur la bouse one ici et là, et des temps de chargement nombreux et souvent… longs mais le FPS Boost (sur Series X|S) permet de booster tout ça… et de joeur en 60 im/s ! La direction artistique de ce monde en ruine est toujours cas d’un goût exquis, plus variée et moins sombre que dans F3 : une belle évolution.

    Enfin, pour un jeu de cette richesse, la finition est excellente malgré quelques bugs mineurs mais très rares. Bethesda avec F3 avait déjà accompli de gros progrès et s’affirme avec F4 comme un faiseur aussi sérieux que rigoureux. Un mot sur la musique d’Inon Zur qui signe une belle partition, très inspirée dans sa sobriété et son ambiance. Et un autre sur la VF intégrale d’une qualité remarquable. C’est du tout bon, tout ça, mangez-en !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was the one and only "next gen" version of Fallout 4 and you can feel it in the size of the world vs Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
    I love how vivid and colourful the world is compared to those 2 Fallout games, it was a stark contrast and highly needed after being so bleak and dreary (rightly so for the circumstances but still).

    I did not really enjoy the building a village part but it does add some additional realism I guess because our hero needs somewhere to live and some support to survive.

    Another memorable storyline with a few unexpected twists and turns, it deserves a place in your library.

Perhaps I got lucky but it ran surprisingly well for a Bethesda game. Despite this, the game was very lacklustre in terms of story, gameplay and dated graphics. I was a huge fan of Fallout 3 and New Vegas but Fallout 4 just left me feeling disappointed. Bethesda’s strengths have always laid in exploration and world building but even the world of Fallout 4 became tedious after a few hours. Returning to this game years later to give it another go, I find that it is now completely unplayable on the Xbox One. Searching for answers online, it seems that back in 2018/19 Bethesda launched a vast amount of compulsory “updates” based around Creation Club (a feature most people never even wanted or asked for) which completely broke the game and introduced a wide array of crashes, particularly in the downtown Boston area. Not only did they break their own game, they then proceeded to abandon it shortly afterwards meaning they have left a shell of a game on the original console it was launched on. Let this be a warning to players before deciding on picking up any other future Bethesda titles. Those who have never experienced this game before, I highly recommend you give it a miss on Xbox as its current state is unplayable and Bethesda are very unlikely to ever return to fix what they broke. Although, for those who have never played it before, you’re not really missing out on anything. There are far better role playing games out there including ones set in a post nuclear apocalypse.

The amount of times my game crashed out even on my Xbox Series console is just insane. I got stuck in places, fell through the map, had to restart broken quests etc. It is a buthesda game. But outside of the story lacking a bit and the bugs this game is amazing and endlessly fun. The side quest content is amazing, the world and worldbuilding is absolutely incredible. 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. Especially since it is on Gamepass!

    Then, though I've never been dumb enough to play it, they did Fallout 76 and that sucked too. Is Bethesda dead? Only Starfield will tell.

The story starts pre-war, which is a phenomenal setup and a great start to go off of, however, it doesn't do a great job fleshing out the 'soul survivor's' motives in any real way. The player never really feels the loss of his son in the intro in any real way because the game didn't give us a reason to care. The intro sequence was brief and sets up the main character without really delving into his identity. (Although this is kind of a moot point because it is suggested in the far harbor dlc that the MC may actually be a synth.) If you're going to give a talking protagonist, make him a story. The key failure here is that Bethesda tried to make that cake and eat it too. The inventory is still clunky, you need to quicksave often to safeguard from crashes, and the gunplay is a bit dated, but what really shines is creativity with the workshops, npc connection, and side missions. (Aside from the settlement gigs). With every release of a new dlc or even functionality with the main game, bethesda found ways to introduce new and cool features to sink hours into, ie raider settlements and robot customization. Some of these needed to be a little more fleshed out, like the vault dlc, but the aspects they add to make the game more enjoyable really do make the game stand out. The story is, well, not that deep. It lacks some finer tuning and deeper emotional value than some of the previous games in the franchise with characters like Shaun and Preston Garvey being particularly overlooked and fundamentally disinteresting. However, the recovery of Shaun and DiMA's secret are two twists that really emphasize what aspects of the stories are good. The general plotpoints make the story worth fleshing out. It's like having a phenomenal storyboard and a so-so script. It just needs to be put together. The guns, robots, settlers, trade lines, settlement customization, VATS, mods, dogmeat, dlc content and faction diversity are all really great. Really the most revealing aspect of my Fallout journey is just how bad Fo76 is, because as average as this game is story-wise compared to all of the previous games, it is light years ahead of Fo76 in almost every conceivable metric. Fo4 is a joy to replay, a solid title entry, and an otherwise unique relic from a developer that has since completely lost their way. 7/10. Expand
