Absolutely loving this game so far. I was concerned when I was readying some of the early reviews on this game. Many were good but a couple had quite a bit of complaints. I went ahead and bought the game and haven't regretted a moment of it. Game play is nice. The VATS system isn't as much of a game breaking crutch as it was in 3 and New Vegas. My only issue was with settlement building and the lack of instructions/tutorial. A little online searching can help you out there though. Absolutely recommend this game for anyone that's enjoyed any of the Fallout series.

You will like this game. Much of the same, why change a good formula? The story is good and intriguing, the gameplay is smooth, and the crashes which plagued NV are nowhere to be seen. Good job on this game, worth a purchase. If you haven't gotten it near launch date, I would recommend waiting for next year when GOTY edition comes out with all future DLC, which I am sure they will have.

Loved Fallout 3, and I enjoy this one more already. Much like Skyrim (another great game by Bethesda) it gives you the ability to craft in game and collect items to use later as well as allow you to display some in game items. Gameplay is great, story is great, it's just overall an awesome game. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Bethesda or "apocalyptic" themed games.

This was my first venture into the world of Fallout. Boy was I glad that I finally made the plunge. This game is fantastic!! I have not been able to put this game down. I have finished it once already and I am going back to do a few things different. There are some bugs here in there but they are quick to over look. This is one of the best games to come out this year. A must get.

Fallout 4 is a great game for the price it goes for. Be it full price or at a discounted priced. You get what you pay for and so much more. It provides countless hours of gameplay and a ton of replay value. Cation as it is a single player experience. Set in a post nuclear wasteland and you as the main protagonist or antagonist. Its really an open world game where you do what you want to do, go where you want to go, and shape the game how you want it to feel. A good amount of perks, guns, melee weapons, Armor and enemies will keep you entertained and on your toes. Finding the game too easy, it does allow you to change the difficulty and your way of handling certain scenarios. Aside from countless quests and minigames. It provides a wide range of system customization. Its weapon modding or tuning system allows you to change a pistol into a rifle, or a semi automatic to an automatic depending on your style. Another mechanic is it collect everything and use it to build your own settlement at various locations. It has a huge amount of content to keep you locked up in your homes. Though highly recommend to take several breaks just so you don't lose track of time. For a current gen console game its graphics are acceptable at best. Though I really don't care much about the graphics. Its an amazing game with a ton of content and replay ability.

I'm not a FallOut boy by any means ( this is my first FallOut Game Ever), but I was blown away by the level of story telling, graphics, and open world-ism going on with Fall Out 4. Best part about it was The Best Buy Games Unlocked Discount! If you don't have it , and buy at least 2 games per year, then invest the money and get it. You'll break even after your first game!

I have never played any of the earlier entries of this series, but I'm very happy that I picked this game up. It's one of the best RPG games I've ever played. The story line, the ridiculously vast open world setting is amazing. Just put in over 100 hours (no life, i know). You can get lost in this game. The FPS shooter type is top quality. Really really awesome game.

If you're not someone who's kept up with the fallout series, it'll be a little harder to get used to at first but once you do, this game is a masterpiece. There is so much to do & explore that I literally get side tracked easily cause I get caught up wanting to do multiple things while exploring or completing a mission (quest). It's worth it if you're into single player campaign, building, exploring, upgrading. conquering, destroying, etc. all just part of the adventure. So worth it, after all these years finally Besthesda brings us back into their world again.!

Graphics are unreal! Game is pretty sick if I do say so myself. Opening scenes and videos were incredible, great story line. A lot like Skyrim but modernized. If you haven't played a fallout game before I would highly recommend buying this game and giving it a whirl. Easy to be consumed by this game though, I spent over 30 minutes making my characters face haha

The graphics from Fallout 4 vs Fallout 3 are vastly improved. The added feature of being able to create your own settlement is great because sometimes you need to take a break from killing things to customize the perfect post-apocalyptic home. Only con is the typical Bethesda glitches but the large amount of free play makes up for it. Overall, I love it!

This is a great game thats the fourth in the series. So far almost 60 hours into the game and there is still alot to do and see. Highly recommended if you have played the previous games and not too much of a learning curve if you haven't. Definitely worth the money and way more story than most of the games out there that are out out just to sell you DLC.

An unfinished game doesn't deserve any good reviews! I am enjoying it, however I had some really annoying bugs. I had to load older safe files to pass the bugs. The graphics are good, better than expected for the joke of a console. The game is basically just Fallout 3 with better graphics and worse bugs. This gen sucks, I hope many of you return Fallout 4 and your garbage PS4. STOP buying garbage consoles and games, it's the only way these video game companies will give us something better to play.

I am a very minimalist gamer. I like to have a game that I can keep for a long period of time and do a lot with. This game is very much so one of those games. The graphics and long story make this game interesting and fun to play whenever you are able. I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking ofr a fun game to play.

Fun game. Prior to this I never really got into the Fallout series. I tried them over the years, but this is the only one since the original that Ive actually put time into.
Great graphics, but does have its bugs - pop in issues, and companions blocking doorways being the main ones, but they arent game-ruiners or anything

So much to explore, a good story line to keep you motivated. The AI of the bad guys seems to have improved and makes the encounters a lot of fun. I didn't think I would like the build you own community path that was added but it is a great challenge in it self, with lots of fun thing you can do to make your towns unique.

If you life previous fallout, it's more of the same, more than 150 hrs of game play, has a few glitches and as in previous fallout takes couple hours of boring Gane play to build a character and stats before it gets interesting ! All and all love it - great value when you think about the hours of play unlike most games

When I first tried this game (having already put 200+ hours into Fallout 3 years ago), I felt the beginning was slow and disappointedly put it down for a few weeks. Determined to give it another shot, I'm now 25+ hours in, only a few major storyline quests in, and fully hooked! This game has all of the aspects of a Fallout game that I love - endless side quests, some with more story and intrigue to them than the main storyline; tons of collectibles and upgradeable weapons (most of which you'll find in those side quests); and this time with vastly improved gunplay that doesn't feel tacked on like it did in previous versions. The VATS system integrates perfectly with FPS aspects to merge RPG gameplay with fast-paced shootouts and the dim, dreary atmosphere is punctuated perfectly by a truly engaging and non-intrusive soundtrack. Highly recommended!

This is going to be game of the year. So much to do and so little time. Improves on many different qualities from Fallout 3. I recommend to anyone who loves open world games. Takes some time to get in to, but once you get your groove you will loose al aspects of your life to this game. Kiss your wife and kids goodbye.

Once again, Bethesda knocks it out of the park with an open world game. The dystopian alternate future of the Fallout world has been a pleasure to return to after the half decade since New Vegas. So much to do and see here, it's impossible to begin to describe in a short review. Buy it and see for yourself. 5 stars.

Best Fallout Yet

I've been completely entranced by this game for the past 2 weeks. Bethesda has really outdone themselves this time. This is by far the best Fallout game yet!
Excited to see what DLC they will roll out for this. I'm about 28 hours in and it feels like I've only scratched the surface of what this game has to offer.
