I don't think Fallout 4 is a bad game. However, it's not a great addition to Fallout series and is most definitely Bethesda's least inspired foray into the wasteleand thus far.

fenome3439d ago

I'm hoping Obsidian picks up the next one, they did an amazing job on New Vegas.

NukaCola3439d ago

I could have done without the settlements and junk crafting. The Factions would have been better if they didn't copy New Vegas's branch path. That was frustrating for trophies. Overall it was decent. The DLC was a complete Joke.

_-EDMIX-_3439d ago

Well the settlements and lots of the crafting was optional.

Overall I like Fallout 4 just as much as I like any other Fallout game.

I would still want an obsidian Fallout game but I would want it just as much as I would want a Bethesda Fallout game.

The dlc was OK, a lot of it was more of the same. So far I only played the robot DLC

KwietStorm_BLM3439d ago

Definitely not a bad game. It just has an identity problem, because Bethesda added some new mechanics, which ultimately left some other staples of the game behind and forced you to do things that, at times, feels redundant. I feel like it there was a large missed opportunity to evolve on the repair and condition mechanic while out in the field. Instead, they did away with it completely. Nothing degrades, and that takes away a lot from the previous approach.

_-EDMIX-_3439d ago

Agreed overall I still like Fallout 4 but that is definitely a feature I missed tremendously.

wakeupcall43439d ago

I have really enjoyed it, but I can see where people could look at it as nothing more than a dystopian Skyrim

KyRo3439d ago

Finally more and more people are waking up to bethesdas terrible games.

Profchaos3439d ago (Edited 3439d ago )

No it was an excellent game overall. It didn't just clone 3 or nv it gave us better graphics awesome side quests a decent story on the back half despite being predictable and not that great but they created a wasteland with much more depth to it imo.

Story based dlc was decent aswell far harbour was amazing but nuka world well that sucked.

Also despite popular opinion I'm happy the protagonist was finally given a voice.

Bigpappy3438d ago

Agree. I enjoyed it more than 3 and played it for much longer too. I had a contentious relationship with the Brotherhood and so chose to not do some of their quest. I had mixed emotions about destroying the railroad. Wanted to win favor with the lady scientist, and would have preferred not kill everyone in during my raids. But those are knocks on the game, those are just validations that war is not pretty.

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.

-Foxtrot224d 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.

mastershredder224d 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.

lukasmain224d 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.
