    An absolute triumph. I've come across some very slight graphical glitches here and there but nothing that gets in the way of what a great game this is.

    Of course, it's not reinventing the wheel. If you've played Fallout 3 then you'll be instantly at home with this, but everything feels more polished in it's execution. Bravo Bethesda, once again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We loved the game... It is for adults because of language... The occasional F bomb is something that parents and guardians should be aware of... This game is more like Mass Effect 2 to Mass Effect... It has the first person shooters in mind more than the earlier games... That being said, it's only there if you want to go after... I liked the new system... But you need to know a lot about the game to go on a good first run play through or like I do, I have three characters and play them different... In this there is fun for me... For those that think there is no story... If you have kids... It's can be a real challenge... Anyway, I had a great time...… Expand

Outside of VATS the gun play has been significantly refined making gun fights much more stimulating and tactical. The classic sense if exploration is still there but the overall story, scenery, and journey you take this time seems more epic. Diversity has been added making it so exploring the metro tunnels is not so repetitive, same with vault exploration. The player character now talks and the lines are well acted giving a deeper sense of interaction with the npc's. The color palette is much brighter but the graphics, while the best in the series, are not as refined as I had thought they would be on the current generation hardware. All in all Fallout 4 is a masterpiece that is a must play for RPG fans everywhere.… Expand

Forget about quests and a hardcore mode, the best part is simply exploring, and it is tough enough as is. Looking for that next cache of ammo or stimpack that'll keep you alive for the next trek to an abandoned factory is absolutely enthralling. Searching for a spare lamp or circuit board left behind during the apocalypse just so you can add an attachment to your rifle? Engrossing. At anytime you might happen upon something that will end you- so save often. I really haven't seen any bugs yet 15 hours in (though I keep hearing about them?), but there is bound to be a couple. 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. Otherwise, get this game before the hype is gone and experience it with the rest of us!… 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

    I am loving the game so far and am confused at the low scores honestly. Granted I am not very far into the game yet, but I will go ahead and rate it from what I have seen and adjust later if I feel I need to. I am happy that they kept to the same type of gameplay and formula they used for Fallout 3 and changed/added new features that flow very smoothly.

    The graphics are improved over Skyrim, and may not be quite on par with some other current gen games, but I really do not care it works and is a massive RPG game(graphics beat Dragon Age Inquisition by far at least). The combat is fun as well, though I am annoyed at how hard it is to aim down the sites and will dock a half point for this annoyance that I have ran into so far. I am also pretty disappointed about the removal of the item degradation, and knock the other point off for that bringing my rating to a 8.5/10. Overall the positive changes outweigh the two negatives I listed, so I will round up to a solid 9/10 and will continue to enjoy this great addition to the Fallout serious!    … Expand

I mean it's post apocalyptic the sims, people try to say as a criticism. What about that doesn't sound fun!?! I have probably a thousand hours of just building stuff in this game.

    I've been playing fallout since the first one launched, 4 is my favorite in the series. Sure, the dialog got a bit gimped. Sure, the writing is kinda weak at times. But it's got the best npcs (Nick and Hancock being standout characters, and Nick being the first companion in fallout history to get his own dlc) and when it's good it's incredible.

    Don't listen to the people telling you "if this is your first fallout, play 1. 1 aged terribly, and fallout fans are famous for absolutely hating the most recent game. It happened to 2, it was too casual and silly. It happened to 3, it was 3d. It happened to new vegas, it was a broken mess at launch. It happened to 4, "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. Not a real ar pee gee!" It's happening right now to 76 because 76 actually is a dog turd wrapped in 50s americana.

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

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

So far all the reviews seem a bit picky. This is better than Witcher 3, less glitchey and buggy, although centering on and selecting items is a bit wonky.

    The plot is surprisingly deep. There is a definite sense of loneliness in the wasteland. And it really doesn't look like Fallout 3. This is more of suburbia turned wasteland. Fallout 3 was just pure open-space wasteland, like 'The Road'. You explore empty houses and gas stations.

    One negative I have with the game is that there doesn't seem to be a way to be evil. In other words, you have to be a good guy or gal. I usually don't play that way anyways, but I've always liked how in Fallout games you can decide what kind of person you want to be.

    I am not sure where to begin,there is just so much to talk about,i'm going to ignore comparing it to the past games as they are a different kind of fallout,as this one takes a more borderlands approach then for say skyrim.While i'm sad the RPG elements were sidelined,i'm only going to focus on the main game.
    Best combat system in a bethesda game to date,combat is far more fluid and fun.

    Massive immersive world,everything from weather to random encounters
    Top notch crafting,the best I have seen in a RPG game to date.
    I constantly saw myself looking for the plentiful collectibles in this game,simply to see every little detail.
    There is also a lot more then simply combat,the settlement idea is a grand idea,and I hope to see it in the elder scrolls 6 instead of the on-rail hearth fire house building.
    The quests are dynamic and interesting.

    Here are my only problems
    Speech is a bit pointless,as no matter the choice you make in the speech,other then intimidating/bribing/persuading.
    And the perk/skills system,which isn't a massive deal,I just wish they went more with skyrim or the past games instead.

    Overall it is a outstanding game,and I believe the problems aforementioned will be fixed with mods.    … 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]
