    Antigamente, o melhor Fallout que existia era o Fallout 3, mas depois que eu conheci o Fallout 4, ele ficou no meu coração!

    In the past, the best Fallout that existed was Fallout 3, but after I met Fallout 4, it stayed in my heart!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. War war never changes and neither do fallout games it seems. Now dont get me wrong this is a fun game and the settlement building is great the graphics are goo the combat is great and overall its a fun game my favorite in the franchise better than three but three was way more RPG then four and thats where it lacks it feels way to open world FPS for my liking of course there are decisions but not to the same extent as the others games overall great game though Expand

    Fallout 4 is a splendid game with good graphics and new features and the mod menu and dlcs to the game . The power armors are not like the wearable ones in Fallouts 3 and new vegas. It feels like a tank. Totally playable. But the story is an exact copy like fallout 3

    It's a great game. But, in comparison to Fallout 3/NV, it's almost like a few steps back were taken. For example, i find the loss of the original skill points system a bit of a flop, as with the new S.P.E.C.I.A.L/perk system, which just feels a bit sloppy. On the flip side, there is a huge selection of perks to chose from, which can all be levelled to your choosing, and with no level capIt's a great game.

    Game play wise, i love it. The graphics (Even on my low spec Xbox one) are a huge improvement over Fallout 3/NV, with great visuals and colouring. The shooting mechanics feel good, as well as the pip boy, map etc. Crafting is also majorly improved, as you can now tag the objects you need to make a certain mod for a gun, amour etc.

    I enjoyed the quest line, if anything i found it to be a little bit too short. It's not quite as impressive as the Fallout 3/NV quest line, but enjoyable none the less. Side quests do get very repetitive however, but with the addition of a few good DLC's this changed my view on the game a fair bit.

    Overall, it's a good game. It's got the odd classic Bethesda bug here and there, but it's a very enjoyable game none the less.

    Fallout is a fantastic Rpg that has seen many transformations over the decades. Since Bethesda acquired the Fallout IP in 2007 the series has stayed as a first person shooter. Many fans prefer fallout 3 to 4 but not me. 3 is fantastic, and it's no secret that 4 takes a step back, but the combination of gameplay, characters, and story make 4 the best Bethesda fallout game.

    Awaking to a neighborhood on the brink of nuclear fallout was mesmerizing to me. Bethesda nail this opening sequence and it sets the tone for the rest of the game. You exit the vault and begin your journey through the wasteland, and what a marvelous journey it is.

    Walking through the wasteland listening to glorious 40s and 50s music on the radio is fun and frankly never gets old.

OUm resumo antes de irmos mais a fundo nessa review: O jeito em que tudo funciona neste jogo é sensacional. 10 anos atrÔs eu tentei jogar Fallout 3 e simplesmente a experiência não chegou nem perto do que tive com Fallout 4. O mundo é fantÔstico, 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 contrÔrio 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 serÔ 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 (fantÔstico) natural, esse jogo funciona a modo de te engajar em seus pequenos detalhes de mundo, em quests extremamente bem colocadas no cenÔrio, 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 rÔpida", pois ao andar você irÔ encontrar a maior parte do conteúdo por trÔs do mundo de Fallout 4. Para finalizar este tópico gostaria de destacar a beleza destruidora de Boston neste game. Pra ser sincero, os grÔficos são okay, jÔ 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 fantÔstico 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 estÔ 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 hÔ 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.
    NĆ£o achei nenhum modo de fazer uma arma realmente muito forte, como Ć© possĆ­vel 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 genƩrico.

    Alguns (pequenos) pros:
    Ɠtima voz para o personagem principal (feminino).
    Dificuldade se adpta Ć  vocĆŖ, e vocĆŖ pode adptĆ”-la manualmente.
    OpƧƵes de diƔlogo fantƔsticas.
    OST razoƔvel, se encaixa bem no mundo do jogo.
    Você pode correr (não é fantÔstico, Fallout New Vegas?)

    Fallout 4 é obrigatório!

    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.

    Fallout 3.5 is more accurate. It's Fallout 3 with better graphics plus a poorly conceived base building addition which seems like it was cobbled on at the last minute. I completed it so must have enjoyed it but no part of the story sticks in my memory. A big disappointment.

The shooting along with weapon customization is amazing. And although building settlements is definitely not for everyone and a bit clunky, I really enjoyed trying to fit as much as I could into the small building area of the red rocket settlement. I enjoyed going out and trying to get better weapons and exploring different parts of the map. Definitely one of my favorite games but completely understand why some people don't like it. Expand

    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)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fallout 4 is a good RPG, although some yucks are way too yucky.
    The World is great, but it doesn't really feel like a Fallout game when almost everywhere there are humans. I would love to see more of a dying world, not a Fallout Renaissance.
    The main story is great. I really liked it. But I didn't really get the point of the Institute, replacing Humans with robot Humans? Yeah, doesn't really make sense. Other factions are good tho.
    The Variety of Enemies was fine, but I often just stood there and was shooting a gang of ghouls.
    The Building is good once you know how it works. There isn't a tutorial for settlement building in game in which i was incredibly disappointed and challenged.
    In Overall these issues were for me like a hair in the soup. The main problem of Fallout 4 is its almost unplayable state. On my Xbox One I experienced crashes every 2 hours.
    Verdict: 9/10 if the world wouldn't be so peaceful and it wouldn't crash every 2 hours. 7/10

    Cons: lack of music variation, many bugs, can feel grindy at times.

    When this game was released, I was head over heels in love with it. I sank over 50 hours into it in its first week of being released and that was when I was still in High School so that's kinda saying a lot. It seems like everyone loved this game upon release and started to grow bitter towards it once the honeymoon period was over, myself included. I stopped playing it and started to forgot just how much I really enjoyed it. This was a game that I asked to get for Christmas a second time just so I could get the Pip Boy edition so I really must've enjoyed it.

    Upon revisiting it, it isn't a bad game. Not by any means. Fallout 4 is very good at doing things that Fallout 3 and New Vegas couldn't but the opposite is also true. Where 3 and New Vegas shine in things like roleplaying, world building and memorability, Fallout 4 shines in things like character customization, combat and building settlements. I enjoy the Fallout 4 for different reasons and while there are genuine issues I have with the game, I've decided to not let "it's not roleplay-y enough" be one of them.
    I beat this game in November of 2015 and November of 2019.

    The story is good, but is admittedly short, but that's not why you play a fallout game. The lore and exploration in this game, as well as the side and misc quests are all great, some better than others, with my favourite being The Silver Shroud. The lore is very detailed and each location has some lore attached to it. Combat and gameplay feels good, and overall it is an upgrade from NV.

    Settlement building was new to FO4 and I really enjoy it. It is one of my favourite things to do, gathering materials and then building my settlement, full of settlers, bars, stores, etc. Definitely a very rewarding thing to do.

    If you enjoy lore, exploration, building and story, then this game is for you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first Fallout game and wow this was amazing. I had so much fun and i fell in love with the characters and i was invested in the story. Trying to find Shaun through the wasteland was the best experience i ever had and all of the side quests made the game last so long and it never got boring. Ignore all these people who get hard off graphics, this game graphics aside is a champion and i doubt there is a Fallout that could compare in quality of story. The sound of the game is amazing with just sitting around and hearing the booms or the bugs just makes it all feel the more real. Overall this game is the best around. Expand

Unfortunately, nothing is perfect and once you achieve a certain level, there is no real danger against you and the game gets repetitive and without emotion. You will be facing some bugs from time to time and you may fell tired of living the same over and over. A great game, worth the buy. Expand

    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.

    Fallout 4 is a beautiful game with a fairly large map and many things to do but its story is almost the same as Fallout 3 only now instead of looking for your father you are looking for your son and there are also many holes in the script and I feel like this one was not so well written but another of the wonders of fallout 4 is that there are many secondary missions that distract you andFallout 4 is a beautiful game with a fairly large map and many things to do but its story is almost the same as Fallout 3 only now instead of looking for your father you are looking for your son and there are also many holes in the script and I feel like this one was not so well written but another of the wonders of fallout 4 is that there are many secondary missions that distract you and remove the bad taste in your mouth from the main story Expand

    I've heard many people describe Fallout 4 as "Skyrim with guns," and I have to say, that is a massive disservice to Skyrim.

    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.

    Very different than the old ones but I enjoyed it a lot.
    One thing I really appreciated is that the character finally speaks and expresses himself.

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!

    After replaying a great deal of the old fallout games including Fo3 and New Vegas, it's clear that fallout 4 is just starting to give a bit into franchise fatigue.

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

    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

    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.

    In the first fifteen minutes of the game it was perfectly made then I got out the vault and I met cod guy. Afterwards he lead me into a house , got stuck on the objects I accidentally started pickpocketing him and he starts to attack me I kill him then RESPAWNS kills me after I respawn and I have black face for no reason and the game puts the camera in the wrong place

    Sometimes beautiful, a bit broken, and really quite brilliant in many places, forgiving fans will adore Fallout 4. [Christmas 2015, p.60]
  3. More Fallout 3.9 than 4, but still absolutely essential. Skyrim 2 has a hard act to follow. [Jan 2016, p.67]
