"The game's music is perfectly set for the different situations you find yourself in. It's suitably dramatic in the big fight scenes and similarly soft when you get to a more emotional part. Whilst not at the forefront of your attention, the music is always there and sometimes you won't even notice it until it goes silent. Your heart might be in your mouth as you hack a computer or lockpick a door with enemies nearby, and the music will do a great job to reflect exactly how you are feeling." ... Read full review

"Fallout 4 is a game that will spark conversation and a huge amount of love, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t follow in the footsteps of Skyrim as something of a cultural phenomenon. The game’s only real issue is in the dated visuals, but the engine serves a purpose beyond eye-candy, and hey, we’re mostly walking through irradiated trash anyway, right...Fallout 4 is impossible not to recommend.

"You’ll have to deal with people who grew up with no understanding of morality and civility, gain their respect (by force, if necessary) and build bright post-nuclear future with them. Wasteland domination is just a step away. [Issue#203, p.46]"

"At some point, I just want the games to work reliably. Fallout 4 follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, which is to say that it's a large, sprawling world filled with so many different quests and locations that most players will miss entire subplots as they scavenge their way from one side of the world to the other. That's also to say that it's occasionally kind of broken, from performance issues specific to the console versions to scripting glitches that might just prevent you from progressing to the same sort of "physics gone wild" moments that make for killer animated gifs and such." ...

Best game I have played on xbox one, theres obviously something going on here where somebody is trying to bring down fallouts score, not sureBest game I have played on xbox one, theres obviously something going on here where somebody is trying to bring down fallouts score, not sure why but dont listen to them, game is amazing, i played it for 17 strait hours when it came out only to be stopped by the need for sleep. graphics are great, the shooting is awesome, the weapons are great and super customisable, everything about this game is great, the only thing is there is a few little bugs, but none have been bad enough to get me to stop playing, just afew little things here and there. Im pretty sure all the negative ratings are from 1 person or group, all of their accounts look new.… Expand

This game is great. So much depth. There is a classical music radio station that plays EXCELLENT music while you wander around. There is alsoThis game is great. So much depth. There is a classical music radio station that plays EXCELLENT music while you wander around. There is also John Cleese as Cogsworth! So far the visuals are great. Some of the characters look like last-gen, but no worse than Skyrim did. It's still effective. The framerate is fine on Xbox, it's a bit cinematic, but it really works with what they're going for. So far all the reviews seem a bit picky. This is better than Witcher 3, less glitchey and buggy, although centering on and selecting items is a bit wonky.

The plot is surprisingly deep. There is a definite sense of loneliness in the wasteland. And it really doesn't look like Fallout 3. This is more of suburbia turned wasteland. Fallout 3 was just pure open-space wasteland, like 'The Road'. You explore empty houses and gas stations.

So far so good.… Expand

This game is one of those games that seems like it's a 10/10 the moment you begin to explore. The environment feels like a post apocalypticThis game is one of those games that seems like it's a 10/10 the moment you begin to explore. The environment feels like a post apocalyptic sort of setting and the guns and enemy types you fight along your journey match the environment and suck you in. As you play you get more and more toys to destroy your enemies with and the experience simply never stops until you decide to side with one of the factions. Once you side with one you lose ties to some of the others and then the game plays itself for you. The choice of choosing a side feels shallow and lame to say the least. If you play a game for its story avoid Fallout 4 like the plague, but if you love to explore and love to simply roll around in toxic waste at every opportunity then this game is for you.… Expand

They giveI'm a big Elder Scrolls fan and also enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas that being said Fallout 4 is just not what it could have been. They give you so many options like building your own town but its pointless since they do not give you any reward having an epic town worste theres no quest involving this, and that is just an exemple of many things they developped but did not use well.

When I first played I thought this was an unbelivable game then after 25 hours when I decided to go threw the main mission I realised ''well that's it'' I completed all the side quests in 25 hours, except for the minor ones. I spent hundred of hours playing Skyrim and this is only a mere 30 hours to complete pretty much everything.

The perk system is just boring. It seems you have a lot to unlock until you realise 75% of the perks are pointless.

Buy it under 40$ it is still a pretty good 25 hours of play time which is better than a lot of games.… Expand

EDIT: I'm lowering this to a 6, Im trying to enjoy myself, I find a cool submarine, and where does that quest send me? TO **** SAUGUS IRONEDIT: I'm lowering this to a 6, Im trying to enjoy myself, I find a cool submarine, and where does that quest send me? TO **** SAUGUS IRON WORKS!!!! I'VE ALREADY CLEARED THAT PLACE OUT 4 TIMES FOR 4 OTHER **** QUESTS! HOW IS THIS GAME THAT TRASHY!?!??!?!??!??

This is a solid game all around, yes it isn't as good as Skyrim for a number of reasons;

--Too many boring go clear a building quests
--Locations reused multiple times
--Uglier terrain
--Nameless NPCs to 'flesh out' cities
--Lack of location variety
--Obvious copy and pasted areas
--More bland infinitely generated quests

But it does come with a bunch of upgrades

--you don't have to level up a perk to unlock a perk, you are free as long as you meet the level requirement for that stat
--you don't have to go into a menu to loot containers and bodies
--your followers all have their own backstories, and as they get to like you they reveal a little bit of it here and there, until they ask you to go on a quest with them!
--completing said follower quest unlocks a perk
--there are multiple factions that actually oppose each other, you can't just join them all

There are also times it seems Bethesda didn't care about the game. When you clear out a location to build a settlement, the dead bodies stay there forever, and I am playing in 2021. You'll be addicted and frustrated. It feels so annoying and passive aggressive when they force a random event "kill some people for no real reason" missions to be selected and pop up on your HUD.… Expand
