Its deep and complex crafting system, diverse perks, massive gameworld filled with cool locations, top notch combat and interesting stories makes it a memorable game. But it’s not without its faults.
Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."
It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder
That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game
The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.
It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.
They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.
I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.
I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.
It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
It may be years away, but whenever it arrives, Fallout 5 needs to improve on its predecessor in several areas.
They really need to get rid of weapon mods and bring back more unique weapons that are hard to get / find
They won't improve it other than a slight graphical upgrade. They have always been better at live action than making games.
Only way it could improve is taking it away from Bethesda and regroup Classic Fallout (1&2) devs with decent budget and time to make it.
I feel so weird about this game, I've not been gaming much at all recently but this is the only game for a while now I spend every moment of free time playing, I always want to play more when I have to stop and even now when I'm unable to play I can't wait to get back to it. In every sense but one it's an amazing game and a huge improvement on the formula.
Which is why, despite all that I can only say I feel weird about it. The one place they've effectively ruined the series for me is in the actual role playing. In the freedom of creating your own character and having that character interact with and affect the world in whichever way you want to. This is the thing I loved most about Fallout 3 and it's completely gutted in this game, which makes me feel completely gutted too.
As much as I'm loving and enjoying every moment of this game, when I think of how I have to play as a relaxed deep voiced self confident caring guy who loves his family and can mostly only really interact with people by saying yes no or maybe, it gives me a really sad feeling in my gut. I hate the fact that, even if Bethesda decide to go back to offering more freedom of character in their next game it'll be The Elder scrolls (which as high fantasy really isn't my genre) and we won't get another Fallout game for years. I just hate how, despite making a great game, they've missed their chance to scratch that itch that only Fallout games could scratch.
