It’s always a bit strange to see such huge disparities between the positive and negative reviews and reactions. Interestingly, however, many of the positive and negative reviews seem to agree on many points. The game has some very big problems. Where they ultimately differ is that for some gamers and critics, these problems don’t detract much from the overall experience. For others, issues ranging from technical to intentional game design choices have left a sour taste in many gamers’ mouths.
Here are the five biggest problems with Fallout 4.
Fallout 4 on Switch 2 offers 30fps, 40fps, and 60fps modes, with graphics settings differing from PS4 and PS5 versions.
Following Fallout 4's anniversary update, Nexus Mods have assebled an Anniversary Collection of existing mods designed to offer a free refresh as an alternative
A decade on from its Game of the Year-winning triumph, Todd Howard reminisces on how Fallout 4 changed Bethesda Game Studios, its TV show adaptation and playtesting The Elder Scrolls 6.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Disregard anything Forbes has to say due to having to wait 5 seconds to even read the Fallout 4 bandwagon clickbait article.
Nothing to see here folks
Agree with everything except the part where ''When The Witcher 3 came out looking, in my humblest of opinions, worse than The Witcher 2, that mattered to me'' like whatttt?
Are they blind?
I don't agree with most in this article.
Graphics are okay, its more about the quality and amount of content. I personally haven't experience any significant bugs. Conversations are a bit weak and wish there were more consequences to my choices. I find the combat to be fine and VATS now requires faster planning and puts more pressure on your decisions. More of the same is just fine. I haven't played a Fallout game in many years. This is all relatively fresh to me. Overall, I love this game and can't get enough!
I agree on too many bug and that the dialogue system is really bad compared to 3/NV but the rest I don't really agree with.
The dialogue is very poor and the graphics are abysmal for a game and studio of this magnitude. The modding is a 10/10 and the open-world experience is a solid 9/10.
The Witcher 3 stands as the pinnacle of open-world RPG excellence IN MY OPINION. That said, I'm almost 35 hours into Fallout 4 and loving it.
