'Fallout 4' Review | Entertainment Buddha

EB: "Fallout 4 arrives as one of the most anticipated games of the year, with a massive legacy to stand on and a built-in fanbase hungry to explore the expansive wasteland. While a lot can change in five years, in the case of Fallout 4, a lot can also stay the same."

This seem way to low a score for a Fallout game. Going to play it myself to make up my own mind what score it deserves.

Neonridr3082d ago

That should be your philosophy on every game, not just Fallout.

Always make up your own mind.

boodi3082d ago

for the ones who have to choose among console/games ( wallet..) it s kind of hard to choose without reading the web about them

Neonridr3082d ago

@boodi - I am simply referring to the fact that you shouldn't let anyone else tell you if a game is good or not. Only you can tell yourself if you enjoyed something.

Obviously if you aren't sure if you are buying a game, then a review is a good source for determining if a game is worth your purchase or not. But ultimately only you yourself will be able to answer that question.

Anthotis3082d ago

It's almost like people would force themselves to love a turd if it came out the ass of a developer they worshiped.

elarcadia3082d ago

Of course everyone should play the game themselves to make up their own mind...if you are letting reviewers make up your mind, you have bigger problems. I respect the writer for giving the score he believes in, but I don't expect it to sway my own personal thoughts on the game.

WickedLester3082d ago

"if you are letting reviewers make up your mind, you have bigger problems"

Comments like these always amusing me. Just because some people like to use reviews as a source for helping them to make an informed purchasing decision doesn't make them mindless automatons.

Salooh3082d ago

Reviews help when you have no idea how to know the level of the game and then see if it's in your taste or willing to try something new. I played too many games in my life. I don't need anyone to tell me what will i like or not. As for facts about games , you can get enough content in videos or news to know the vision of the game.

suli55953082d ago (Edited 3082d ago )

cheap ass website that hasnt made a name for itself probably because of such crappy review scores, look at his website, probably cost him 20 dollars a year to maintain, 78/100 you know because 2 points away from 80 shows hes a professional critic, lmao such people make me laugh so hard.

madmonkey013082d ago

it drops to zero fps, it cant have a near perfect score with technical issues like that

Starscream863082d ago

Read his justification in the review first before you start trollin.

Clunkyd3082d ago

@Suli5595
Sensitive much?

DarthZoolu3082d ago

The gaming world has been taken over by none gamers, I hate it.

KyRo3082d ago

I'm glad I'm seeing some reviewers not being totally brainwashed by the hype. Fallout 3 was broken and so is this. Stop giving it a free pass when games much more polished are being slated for the same problems this game has.

3082d ago
elarcadia3082d ago

I actually don't think broken means "unplayable" personally. Anything that is broken can be fixed. I think "junk" or "total waste" would be much better terms to use, if you really consider something "unplayable".

3082d ago
TacticAce3082d ago

Google the phrase "Confirmation Bias"

elarcadia3082d ago

@WickedLester I see what you're saying. I mean reading reviews and using them as one source to make an informed decision is fine. But, do you know what I find amusing? When someone writes "That seems way to low a score for a Fallout game." If you are going to read a review, don't nag on it just because you don't agree with it! Or, at least if you are going to disagree make sure you have a) Actually played the game and b) Make a cohesive case for why you disagree.

Here come the clickbait reviews. Fallout 4 is a masterpiece, end of.

TenBensons3082d ago

A 78/100 is clickbait? No. No its not, end of.

Christopher3082d ago

As opposed to all those sites who throw just 9 and above scores at major releases like this?

OhMyGandhi3082d ago

Fallout looks to be an awesome game, but seriously...Just the shear amount of bugs alone warrants a few points taken away. It's great that they can throw so much into this game, have an incredibly expansive and interesting world to explore, but if a game were to score higher then a 9, it needs to be the absolute pinnacle of gaming perfection.

Bottom line: 78/100 is not clickbait, and to think otherwise is hilariously short-sighted and childish.
It doesn't help that you have a fallout-related avatar, so combine hugely relevant bias with outlandish accusations of scoring fraud, and you have the picture of a fanboy in action.

madmonkey013082d ago

master piece with lots of bugs and frame rate issues?

SegaGamer3082d ago

Clickbait reviews just because you don't agree with it right ? that sound's incredibly childish to be honest.

He's obviously taking bugs and glitches into account. His money. His choice.

josephayal3082d ago

Buddha meh,this game deserve better

Two-Face3082d ago

This score seems fair. This game does not deserve anything better. Looks outdated, and bring nothing new to gaming. Bethesda played it really safe, and that's fine. It's a decent game, but not a masterpiece it was hyped up to be.

Stapleface3082d ago

None of the 10s I've played this Gen brought new stuff to gaming. Not a single one. Bloodborne, good game but nothing new, The Order 1886, basic TPS cover shooter. The Witcher 3, fantastic game. But I never encountered anything in that game ground breaking as far as gaming goes. Just a great game. I don't think that's something they look for when reviewing. I don't believe any game should get a 10 though. There is always room for improvement in every game I've ever played. I agree with you btw, a fair score.

Salooh3082d ago

Sorry, i pressed disagree even though i agree but not with all your points.

The order visuals , art and graphics are new experience but it's short story and limited gameplay stopped it from being something huge.

As for Bloodborne , yes the gameplay isn't as original as Demon soul (even that game wasn't all that original) but still it had a massive upgrade in every aspect compared to previous ones and it did everything well within it's type of game. So it did deserve that hype. Still not a 10 for me too

And that's why i agree with you but not entirely. I intended to press the agree button but it was a mistake.

As for the witcher i still haven't played 10% of the game. Busy with MGS which is a masterpiece for me so far.

guyman3081d ago

The Order 1886 is not nearly a '10' game

Fallout 4 London mod delayed indefinitely because of Fallout next-gen update

If you were excited about the Fallout 4 London mod, we have some bad news for you. The mod has been delayed indefinitely thanks to Fallout 4 next-gen update.

Not a bad thing. They've even shown excitement at what the update could bring to making things better for them. More work? Yeah. But, still a good thing overall.

-Foxtrot1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

I think this looks pretty great so they should take as much time as they need.

It’s kind of shame however we’ll probably never get to see an official Fallout London game or anything set in the UK now because of the mod.

Andrew3361d 12h ago

Why not? It's only gonna be available on PC and is not backed by Bethesda at all

-Foxtrot1d 6h ago

Because Bethesda might think "Meh, London has already been done with that Mod, they've taken the shine away from it and if we do it now they might think we're copying"

Something along those lines.

FPS_D3TH1d 7h ago

While I’d love to see more world building lore in Fallout, I’d be surprised if Fallout ever ventured beyond a United States setting. Maybe a dlc to a main game though. Always wondered what other places would look like, if they too had the 50s culture with futuristic tech.

Richhard11d 12h ago

No point on the update, you can get 60fps anyway with mods.

Fonsecap1d 9h ago

The update will break much more then it will fix... At least on PC.

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot5d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot074d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH4d ago

I want the first two games to come to iPhone/android

Friendlygamer4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot

Fallout player base begins to grow in wake of acclaimed TV show

The Fallout player base is beginning to grow in a resurgence following the release of the critically acclaimed TV show.

I bet they feel pretty stupid not allowing someone else, possibly Obsidian to do a Fallout game because they could have released it this year near the TV show to capitalise on it.

RaidenBlack6d ago

ironic, given the fact what the TV show did to New Vegas, lol

-Foxtrot6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

You know what the funny thing is...literally 10 MINUTES after making that comment I've just seen what they've done.

I mean it was a chalk board and it still feels a bit ambiguous in places but they didn't actually just do that...right?

FPS_D3TH6d ago

What exactly did the show do to New Vegas?

Wretchedstain5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

@ -Foxtrot. Based on a lot that I've read of your comments, i though we were on the same page (physical media etc non digital at nauseam...) . As Canon, I thought they did pretty well (I'm a hardcore fan), they delved into a pretty decent tie in to expand on for season 2, let alone fan service with nods to certain gameplay aspects along the way. I hope you've watched it to appreciate it 'for what it is', It's good. (Loved seeing Red Rocket station in Ep 7, goosebumps galore throughout the 8 Eps they did let alone that)

Sciurus_vulgaris6d ago

Obsidian has been working on two RPGs (Avowed and the Outer Worlds 2) for the past few years. TV shows and films can be produced much faster than video games.

-Foxtrot6d ago

I meant it as in if they just let Obsidian do this years ago before The Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed was in production. This could have been their next game instead.

ED-E6d ago

Eh depends,development hell can take many years in movies and tv series. Fallout tv series was announced 4 years ago, which was also the main development time of Fallout 4.

But yeah Bethesda was already in full production of Starfield and working on Elders Scrolls on the side. Obsidian was already with Microsoft (while Beth was not) and busy with Grounded and Pentiment. So minor updates/dlcs for their latest games was probably the best they could do.

I would have outsourced a remaster/remake of Fallout 3 to align with the release tv series.

MrBaskerville5d ago

@-Foxtrot
From what I gather they'd rather do Avowed and Outer worlds at this point. Doesn't sound like the current Obsidian really desires to go back to New Vegas at this time.

Obscure_Observer6d ago

"I bet they feel pretty stupid not allowing someone else, possibly Obsidian to do a Fallout game because they could have released it this year near the TV show to capitalise on it."

They´ll certainly take advantage of the next gen upgrade, coming to Xbox Series, PS5 and PC.

raWfodog6d ago

“They´ll certainly take advantage of the next gen upgrade, coming to Xbox Series, PS5 and PC.”

You mean ‘current’ gen, right? ;)

Obscure_Observer6d ago

@raWfodog

"You mean ‘current’ gen, right? ;)"

Precisely. Thanks ;)

Chard6d ago

Bethesda probably resents that Obsidian made the best Fallout game

Wretchedstain5d ago

Then why end the show in that fashion?

If you thought '76 made Fallout feel mainstream, now we have a TV show that looks like a cosplay convention. The clean duds and Garbage Kid- Looking power suits (Head scale) are killing me. I think that it's nice that there's something for tv viewers to glimpse at why people like Fallout, but they are only getting a filterd down, made for series-seasonal tv (ew), passanger's flattened persfective with no risk based upon actions or consequese or social/non-social stangings that are experienced in the game.

The series represent's itself as a Fallout the tv show for people that need that kind of pacing (again ew), not the Fallout the game. Some people will dig this. I can see them having reason to, considering everying the show is borrowing to make it something Falloutish. It not for me, and I'm cool with that.

Wretchedstain5d ago

I am a MASSIVE fallout fan, I have a computer desk shine THAT IS FALLOUT and no other. The show was amazing to me, and bias had nothing to do with that, my trepidation was ultimate. The tie in to 'something' New Vegas, had me cheering like a sports fan at the end there (I have the collectors edition, and covet its mint condition highly) and I hate sports. I love a lot of other gaming, movie and TV show things, what they have done its pretty damn cool to me.

marioJP875d ago

Checking out the show possibly tonight or tomorrow for sure. Hope it’s as good as everyone says.

anast5d ago

I have to watch it. Hopefully it's better than the recent Fallouts.
