Fallout 4 Review Embargo Gets Embargo

Fallout 4, like most major video games, has a review embargo. Unlike most major video games, however, Fallout 4 has an embargo for its review embargo.

Thats ok i'll be reviewing this 1 for myself early hours 10th.

Mariusmssj3853d ago (Edited 3853d ago )

Isn't anyone else interested why is there an embargo on the review embargo?

thekhurg3853d ago

Bethesda has always had a stick up their ass about reviews for their games.

nveenio3853d ago

A lot of games do this. Rockstar did it once, too. No idea what the benefit is. Maybe it helps preorders or something.

SolidStoner3853d ago

easy enough to understand.. I think its because most reviewers are immature, do not know how to actually play the game.. and most of the time are not informed about games past (previous titles), result is a reviewer who is searching for problems where there are no, and uplifting features gamers dont care about in that particular game..

anyway! gamers will review it by actually playing it!

@SolidStoner

You mean like somebody who would be dumb enough to play Uncharted 2 remastered and think they were playing Uncharted 4?

That couldn't happen, right?

Most of these comments seem to relate to review embargos - what this article is actually about is an embargo on critics announcing when the review embargo lifted! haha

I think they don't want even more leaks to come out

CDbiggen3853d ago

Reviews are bullshit anyway, look at MGSV.

Malphite3852d ago

Looking at it. I mostly agree with the reviews I've read - It's a damn good game.

PaleMoonDeath3852d ago

MGSV was dope, and pretty much on point with everything.

Don't know what you mean.

Relientk773853d ago

Embargoception, an embargo within an embargo

generalwinter3853d ago

This is one case where reviews are irrelevant. We will all be playing it too much to read reviews!

VIRUS! XD heh. Yeah I'm waiting a week before I buy the game. I got burned too many times with games not being what they cracked up to be..

KumquatGOATBEEF3853d ago

Same here, no way am I visiting that site.

Bansai3852d ago

Kotaku and viruses? Probably a false alert.

Pintheshadows3852d ago

It is the false alerts again. It is doing it on every story. It happened a few months back as well. There is nothing to worry about.

Just need the relevant people to sort it out.

They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.

-Foxtrot195d ago

Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.

mastershredder195d ago

So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.

lukasmain195d ago

I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
