    Weird direction for Fallout

    The Collector's Edition is great! The helmet is well designed and looks as if it was pulled directly out of the game. I can also commend Bethesda for the poster and action figures that are included. The map/poster is very highly detailed, I have yet to frame and hang it. Unfortunately, this is where the positives begin to dwindle. The carrying bag included in the box was not canvas as originally advertised during E3. What is included instead is a thin nylon bag. Every time I touch it or use I fear that I will snag a nylon thread and ruin the bag. Very unfortunate corner to cut in the whole package. The game itself is okay. It seems to have been released many months too early. The game is still in a buggy and unreliable state two weeks after release. The game itself is fun, but it lacks the mainstays of previous Fallout games. I would recommend the game, but not at $60 and surely not as $200.

    Everyone may know that the game is mediocre. Playing the game itself is not really fun, unless you group up with friends, you’re not really playing with ransoms you see online nor do you see many walking around. The collectible items are cool but, I’ve learned I was supposed to get a canvas bag. The included bag is nylon and feels cheaper

    This whole situation with Bethesda at the moment is a bit of a mess. The helmet itself is awesome, no question there. The bag is not what was shown but a cheap nylon version The game itself has potential, but at the moment is a bit of a train wreck. Basically Fallout 4 but with no one else except you and whomever might be online at the time. All NPC interactions (so far) are done via holotapes and notes.

    If you had a chance to play beta or any other bethesda game to this point you would know that they are typically a bit buggy in the beginning. This game is no exception to that rule. The game case and figures are nice quality along with the helmet but my opinion is this is more of a 150 dollar product not a 200+ product. The helmet is packaged well and protected but the bag to store it in feels cheap. the visor vision is horrible to be honest.

    So, bought this as a Christmas gift to be for my son. Where to begin. My son played the Beta on xbox and liked it. I have played the retail version for a few hours on a friend's PS4. I enjoyed that. The reviews have been brutal. I hope the technical issues will be patched. Bethesda says they are committed to this game. We will see. I am on the fence on whether to return it. My son loves Fallout. I think he will forgive Bethesda no matter how broke this game is. I am not qualified to say if the multiplayer style is the right direction to take Fallout. No human npc's is odd. I get the aesthetic but it is jarring compared to Fallout 4. I don't know if story can be delivered as effectively in this barren landscape . As it stands now, I would not buy this for myself. It's just too much of a mess and the community is not happy. This is a wait and see situation. For me though, I have to decide whether to disappoint my son by returning this and he didn't get it as a gift or give it to him and see if the game disappoints him.

    Was excited for mostly the helmet which is actually pretty cool (sort of cheaply made) but the rest of the stuff isn’t so great. Game still needs a ton of work to be bug free but I guess they’re working on it.

    *Make sure YOU are the one that opens the package first. The helmet we received had to be one that was actually assembled well. The light is nice, the fit is snug with the adjustable screw pad inside. The voice module is terrible.The figures are really nice but the *canvas* bag is not canvas, more nylonish. Now the game, it is not as bad as people claim. I would give the game a 3 out of 5 for being able to be in the fallout universe with my friends and Father. This review mainly about the poor responsibility of who Bethesda employed to make this collectors edition. It seems from other reviews they pushed quantity over quality when collector edition's should be the latter.

    The helmet is awesome. Made me wish I had the pip boy to go along with it. But as for the game itself.. for the first time ever I don't really feel excitement to want to play? It's empty. No one wants to team up, and no one wants to pvp. So what your left is just vast emptiness with no npcs to compensate. I don't think I'll play it for a couple of months until the majority of bugs are fixed. The "collectible figures" inside felt like some really cheap 99 cent toys you would buy kids from the groceries. I think one unique pop? or fallout boy figure would of done it justice.

    Love the functional helmet. Pretty good but lighter than I thought. Game itself needs some serious work, especially at this price.

    The game world feels almost lifeless, which gives the game the feeling of being unfinished. As for the Power Armor Edition, the collectibles are nice but seem fairly cheap in quality considering the cost.

    The only reason I gave it a 3 stars, because mine was missing the West-Tek Carrying Bag. Returned this one and ordered another one, hope is complete

    It’s a decent enough helmet and other bonus items, but the game is in a sad state currently. Wait for updates...or Fallout 5.

    I was expecting more from this. Helmet seems to be low quality, but still looks nice and feels cool. The helmet is most likely made out of a lightweight plastic, and the canvas bag is not actually canvas, it’s plastic. It’s a great collectors item but that’s about it. The helmet is just a gimmick.

    Well we're coming up on you now and there's been a lot of updates hopefully with the adding of human NPCs we can get back to the core of what makes this a fallout game.

    Game was awesome but the quality of the “canvas” bag turned out to be just nylon and rather cheap looking. Disappointing.
