I put in about 20 hours in this game and then I found a link on reddit to this article and realised that I am not alone in my experience with this game.......

This is by far the most unbiased and most accurate account of Fallout 4 and fully translates my 20 hours in F4;

http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2015/11/20/fallout-4-review-bethesda-never-changes/

Just wanted to share this;

Thanks....

The presence of "breitbart" in your link is a 100% reliable indicator of absolute twaddle.

Welll, unfortunately there are folks who disagree for one reason or another, or just don't "see" it

personally my rebuttal is, for all intents and purpose a little (A LOT) more depth to the game

wouldn't hurt YOU at all, you might like it as much as you like the settlement builder mechanic

or how power armor works.....you know the stuff people have been pining for, the stuff mods

brought for the first two Beth/Obsid Fallout games on Gamebryo.

you liked those mechanics right? then what the actual hell is the problem with more of this?

Fallout hark Bethesda Games since Oblivion have been FANTASTIC GAMES but shallow

on everything else, Morrowind wasn't a GREAT GAME, but it is damned awesome in the

Ambition it had that are only rivaled by this focus on Graphics and pandering.

That said Fallout 4 has some interesting directions I enjoy, long asked for features since time memorial even

Heavy Armor sinks

Piece meal Armor

Settlement Building

Locational damage

Wound states

Crafting

etc etc all awesome things, BLUNTED by streamlined aspects complained also since time memorial.

again, Great Game, not much imo on other aspects, and the aspects imo deemed to add depth would have no negative baring

on folks who enjoy the (re)added features.

Cheers

P.S I still play with a stupid grin on my face like a but hey, anyway the planned "expansion" packs will be nice

At some point, we're going to have to acknowledge that each developer has its own unique flavor. For Bethesda, it is EVERYTHING that was complained about in that article (though I don't agree that much of it is worth complaining about).

Skyrim, for instance, was just Fallout 3 with D&D gear and story. These three Fallout games have been virtually identical in a lot of ways. And we were right to expect that to continue with F4 prior to its release. And we got what we expected, not some complete out-of-left-field surprise.

I'm plenty happy with Fallout 4 so far. I get some of the complaints raised in the article, and I'll respectfully disagree with some of the others. And I'll even agree with a few things they were whining about.

At its heart, this is the problem:

The Fallout games are an indictment of the American generations that ruined the world. Some folks are alright with that. Someone at Breitbart is not. Someone at Breitbart needs to go back to History class.

Well that sentiment isn't held JUST at that site, its an example of thoughts many hold. and not a welcomed one at that in the

grand scheme of things, I don't think the game is terrible in of itself(FAAAARRRRRR FROM IT), I also don't think thats a view people are trying to push with genuine voice. its just.....please just go all the way, stop with the weird curving...please?

Beth is literally the Company that can do no wrong, seriously most if not everyone views them in that light (or knows someone who does lol)

One good point that I never thought about that the reviewer brings up is that there is no consequence for not tending to a settlement. It would be pretty cool if settlements got word of your carelessness/selfishness and actually wouldn't talk to you (and even attacked you!) until you rebuilt your reputation through Preston's missions.

There is they die.

i read the whole "review" but again for me is the same close mind opinion of someone stuck on the 90s RPG games. I mean from ME to Witcher 3 game have been evolving and changing. He compare Fo3 and Fo4 saying both feel the same when it come to exploration and i have find ALOT of different like place that after a quest change like the Quarry or the Mutants water plant. Boston feel alot more dynamics that DC feel.

I dont know i just feel alot of the angry reviews or the one that dont like the game is just they dont like that the game have try to change the old RPG formula for something new.

The same could be said for yourself.

"Breitbart"? Really?

Try reading.

Some of those games are improving. This game is a step backwards. I mean, there were better facial animations in VtMB.

In short, I agree with everything the reviewer said.

That has no impact on me though. Ultimately, settlers are just generic NPCs that you can't tell apart from another. There needs to be repercussions for my reckless abandonment!

Yea but in Witcher 3 choice matters and the dialogue, cinematics, story plot and the game world changes according the course of action you take...........this dynamic fluidity is absent in Fallout 4. Which is kind of disappointment.

There are some good things in F4 too but to me it seems like that F4 would have been a great release back in 2009 but in 2015 it seems kind of unfinished and primitive, with all the glitches and due to undynamic nature of the game plot and game world where your decisions have little to no impact on which way the game flows.
