"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." ...

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

It does however redeem itself withWhile Fallout 4 strives to match the success of it's predecessor, it falls short in some key categories. It does however redeem itself with innovative new mechanics that redefine how Fallout makes you feel and think while you sink dozens or hundreds of hours into the Wasteland. In short, while it's not perfect it does make for an enjoyable play through for all but the most overzealous fanboys.

Quickly let's review what worked:

1. The base building mechanic, while rough compared to other similar mechanics in modern games, is an enjoyable pastime and a needed break from the monotony of wandering the Wasteland.

2. The map is expansive, while still keeping major cities close enough together to run between them if the player chooses.

3. The enemies prove to be just as classic as in Fallout 3, with some new twists to keep them more challenging for casual gamers.

4. The V.A.T.S. system is still wonderful and fun to use.

5. The power armor and upgrades is a welcome and cool addition to the armor scheme.

and what didn't work:

1. The voice acting for every storyline character is flat and uninspired. It is painfully obvious that the voice actors weren't engaged in the story lines and were simply reading from a script that desperately needed some personality.

2. The main storyline is routine for a Bethesda game (someone takes a loved one and I must find them etc.) and leaves a lot to be desired. The player should want to complete the main story arc, but most will skip it entirely until completely necessary.

3. Bugs, bugs, and more bugs. Ranging from small annoyances like broken NPC bodies, to game breaking ones where quest givers are missing and players fall through the ground. This iteration of Fallout marks Bethesda yet again as the king of buggy RPGs.

4. The graphics seem to be only a small step up from the Fallout 3 engine. On new systems and with a six year gap between games, people expect the art to evolve not stagnate. Unfortunately this is becoming a trend with Bethesda releases (see Skyrim, ESO, etc.) and it doesn't keep graphics nuts appeased.

While Fallout 4 is a fun play and the base building is a welcomed addition, Fallout 4 leaves a lot to be desired in the area of story, voice acting, and graphics. This warrants a 7/10 from me as I did enjoy the game, but I always felt it could have been so much more.

Thanks for reading,

While some important upgrades were made, the overall experience wasn't as enjoyable as I thought and hoped it would be. Still this isn't a bad game, and there is plenty to do in it.

The amount of content available is really quite incredible. The side quests are what most people gravitate to in these types of games, and its crucial to make them fun, and for the most part they are. Some quests are repetitive, (especially the ones at Sanctuary), but otherwise they feature fun characters and interesting diversions. The issue I have is that the main story isn't all that interesting. While some of the twists were impressive, I left the game not feeling the same attachment to characters that I did in Fallout 3. The ending was pretty anti-climatic as well, (although I guess that also applies to Fallout 3).

The mechanics are improved quite a bit and the improved map system and opening items system really made this game a lot more accessible than Fallout 3. Still, the characters weren't as memorable, main story not as interesting and locations not as iconic. Fallout 4 is a fun game for sure, but isn't one I fervently return to.… Expand
