Fallout 4 Review: Well Worth the Wait | Gaming Illustrated

GI:
Fallout 4 had a lot of hype to live up to and has done so admirably. It maintains all the charm that made previous installments of the series great while building upon that by including a fully voiced protagonist, excellent combat, and a crafting system that is so good that it will ruin lives. The story provides an addicting mystery for you to solve while still rewarding exploration.

In a year where we’ve seen some absolutely phenomenal games released, Fallout 4 is certainly one of the best. With 2015 winding down, Fallout 4 firmly places itself in the game of the year discussion.

Graphics: 9.5? Hrmmmmmm..........

Eidolon3479d ago (Edited 3479d ago )

How would Indies games ever get above an 8 if they rated the graphics in general, Bethesda has never tried to have photorealistic games or even just impressive, and it should be rated as such, Fallout 4 is a huge improvement over last gen's Bethesda game and anyone who says otherwise is blind.

Lisica3479d ago

Graphics are great.

I'm playing New Vegas now and believe me, it doesn't look that good anymore.

Here is the comparison:

98/10 on a game that runs like crap and full of bugs.Bethesda must have spend a lot of reviewers for this kind of reviews.New generation and we are still getting framerates below 30fps and reviewers keep cleaning and protecting Bethesda ass.Shame!

Protagonist3479d ago

How many hours did you play the game, before you came to your conclusion`?

Since you got the game, you should do a youtube video explaining the parts where it "runs like crap and full of bugs". You know just a response, to how Bethesda paid of the reviewers.

deadfrag3479d ago (Edited 3479d ago )

I must have played for more time than you i assure you i simple stop because how awfull it run,and i tested both console systems.There are plenty of technical analysis that show how crap it runs if you have not seen them something is wrong.Go to the front page theres a technical preview for you and all Bethesda lovers.

DeathbyHubris3479d ago

Bethesda games always have bugs. This is just a fact. When you make a game with a massive open world and the level of freedom you have in these games, it's going to happen. It doesn't take away from how incredibly fun they are, though. It is a minor annoyance.

I can tell you with confidence that Bethesda didn't spend anything on this review, by the way.

ProgressiveLiberal3479d ago

So because Bethesda always does it, it's fine? If people are going to crap on Unity for it's bugs than people should do the same for Fallout 4. While I'm sure Fallout 4 is a great game, the Bethesda hypocrisy has to stop.

DeathbyHubris3479d ago

It's a fair point, but we're talking about different kinds of games. Two vastly different experiences. Assassins Creed games may be classified as open world games, but they are not open world like Fallout is open world.

SegaGamer3479d ago

I have played plenty of big open world games that aren't full of bugs. There is no excuse for it in Fallout 4.

SavageFlamingo3478d ago

Chill. The bugs will be fixed. Don't take it too seriously.

DeathbyHubris3478d ago

I'd say for those of you who look at the bugs as a deal breaker, I get what you're saying. Perhaps you shouldn't play Bethesda games. They don't bother me enough to even put a dent in how enjoyable I think the games are.

Fallout 4 on Switch 2 seems inevitable, but what about Starfield?

A Fallout 4 Nintendo Switch 2 port seems like an inevitability, but what about other Bethesda RPGs like Starfield.

I think all games will end up on switch from Xbox. MS has embraced going to other platforms now if games aren't doing well on Nintendo MS may be more selective in the future

On playstation they have been quite successful

anast41d ago

I'm not sure too many people want to play Starfield.

Profchaos41d ago

Phils all but confirmed they are going in hard with the switch 2

TheColbertinator41d ago

All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.

Starfield is actually a RPG. Bethesda hasn't done that in a while.

GhostScholar143d ago

People acted like starfield was so less interesting than fallout and drastically different, but I call bs on that. Both are decent games, but they are both filled with the appearance of things to do and items to interact with but 99 percent are just there to be there with no significance. Fallout has better character work but they are both sort of illusions that they’re vast.

Studio has been going downhill since Skyrim. Every following game gets dumbed down more than the previous. I'll be shocked if Elder Scrolls VI even has dialogue options.

anast142d ago

Fallout 4 was bad, real bad. Starfield might even be a better RPG.

trez1082142d ago

Fallout 4 wasn’t a great fallout game per se but real bad? I don’t know maybe I’m a little biased because I replied it not long ago and had fun with it.
