Bought it on sale for $30 which i thought it was great price since it includes all the DLCs. Only downside is that you need to update the game and download the DLCs which in total is like 15GBs on PS4 Pro. It comes with a voucher with the code for the DLC add ons and a perk poster. Besides the fact that you need to download all that stuff it was a great purchase.

One of the best games of the year just got better! Endless hours of exploration and crafting makes for a unique experience. Superb action and intriguing storyline, including all of the DLC add-ons, makes the replay value very high!

Absolutely had zero interest in this game when it launched. Loved skyrim and oblivion, but, personally hated Vegas game and never could get into Fallout 3. Saw that Fallout 4 was on sale and decided to purchase, am extremely glad I did. This game is awesome, they fixed alot of things that I hated about 3, never once did I use there VATTS system which essentially slows down gameplay to shoot specific body parts. Which, in my opinion hampers action RPG games. This is my first game EVER for which I exceeded 400 hours of gameplay (which was me wandering around exploring between missions) which is a choice that I made myself, because it is so fun. A must buy for anyone wanting a game that delivers endless hours of joy.

Game works well, and I was surprised how few bugs/crashes I experienced.
I'd recommend leaving Nuka-World as the last thing you do, because it was only once I entered Nuka World on the monorail for the first time that the game would randomly crash on me.
Still though, at least 100 hours of gameplay here, absolutely worth it.

I was on the fence...

So my first introduction to the Fallout series was 3...and quite simply I consider it to be one of the best video games I've ever played. I've only experienced a handful of moments with games where I COULD NOT stop playing. That game has ruined relationships, caused starvation, and loss of employment. I enjoyed New Vegas as well. My issue with Fallout 4 was that I had a corrupted save that took place a solid 50 hours into my game and never really went back to start over because I was rather upset, experienced issues with 3 and NV but nothing I considered game breaking. I saw the GOTY edition was coming out and bought a copy for my PS4 and I realize that I actually love this game, there's certainly some issues with clunkiness, graphics, etc but the sheer amount of things to do is overwhelming. i can spend 5 hours simply tinkering around in the workshop, or scavenging, questing (some are rather repetitive, but that's natural) There is just so much to do and I never got to experience the DLC on the Xbox. Bottom line is that for some of the issues this game is really fantastic.

A Bethesda game through and through

This open-world RPG from Bethesda, the makers of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, among many other modern classics, returns to the Wasteland in this alternate post-apocalyptic game. While the gameplay is as nuanced and tight as one would expect from a first-person shooter, there are many elements and character customization systems keeping the game fresh. The Boston setting feels well realized, and player choice has significant consequences in how the world is shaped thereafter. The sense of discovery when happening upon a new town, cave, or building is addictive.
This package includes all previously released DLC by way of download code in the box, so there is plenty of content to keep you going after the main quest and many, many side quests.
My only criticism is the game often “drags” at points, specifically when trying to complete some quests or events that don’t feel very rewarding, such as the settlement building and fetch quests.

The immense world of Fallout is absolutely phenomenal! This game and it's dlc make it the best title Bethesda has created to date! On normal mode this adventure is a beast but those challenges are hours worth of fun.

I love these open world games! I was looking for something like Skyrim and this game was perfect! Since they are both made by the same company a lot of the mechanics are the same (shooting, sneaking, running, lock picking, etc.). I jumped right in without much of a learning curb. It mirrors Skyrim for the most part but instead of a beauty, Fallout gives you a world of doom & gloom. I loath the flying bugs, I mean they make me rage quit frequently. When you encounter them, just run away. One thing I wish this game did is let you sneak more. You can sneak to a point but the enemies always detect you there no matter how good you hide or sneak up. It’s a really good game and recommended.

I was a little late to the Fallout franchise, but I'm really digging it. I love how open world it is, but it is daunting (In a good way, like Skyrim!). Definitely am going to invest MANY, MANY hours into this one. FYI, I know it's been said, but all of the DLC is not on the disc, it is a separate download. Essentially it's the vanilla game on the disc, so it won't replace your classic copy.

HEADS UP, DLC IS ON A VOUCHER

Fallout 4 is in a weird spot for me. Fallout 3/New Vegas are just better base games and having the option to mod them to hell on PC has almost soured my taste to Fallout 4.
A lot less emphasis is put into the character skills in this game compared to previous titles but each skill at least doesn't break the game mechanics overall.
As every Bethesda title has been the glitches are usually comedic and easily fixable by reloading or waiting a second.
My biggest gripe about the GOTY edition however is that the DLC is not on disc unfortunately. So this title is not truly future proof.
If you like Fallout, you'll likely like Fallout 4, but honestly you can get away with just replaying Fallout 3 and New Vegas

I was waiting to buy this game until I had the time to play it and that was smart considering I invested an insane amount of time in the game. The story and scope of this game is epic in scale. The graphics are amazing. You will not regret this one and it is well worth the price for how much gameplay you will get.

Understand why this was Game of the Year by playing it. Tons of engaging game play and a great story-line that captivates you into losing track of time until you realize you have played for hours straight. I wish I didn't have to go to work and could play this game from beginning to end straight. Highly recommend!

Looks nice on the ps4 pro, but due to modding restrictions i went back to the PC version. However if you only have a ps4 i would highly highly recommend you pick this up and play it. Automotron is included in this and was my favorite dlc thus far.
