Don't care about reviews, i have the game pre-ordered on steam since July so its not like i need a review to base my game purchasing decision.

Last thing i need is a game spoiler so i am avoiding clicking on any topics related to Fallout because i know spoilers are inevitable, be it in reviews or comments. If the game is even half as good as F:NV or F3 was then i am still gonna pour 100s of hours in it and that's easily worth my $60

I'm sure after playing 400 hours, a years worth of DLCs and another year of modding the game, you will eventually find something to [censored] about.

I don't remember a game played by bethesda that had a stand out story and i have played morrowind, oblivion, fallout 3, skyrim. They were all about exploration and freedom about building your character. Story, dialogues, romance, strong rememberable characters was never bethesda's strong suit and if you are going into fallout 4 with huge expectations about outstanding story telling then you are going to be disappointed. Better look for bioware rpg's or witcher series if you are a svcker for strong story.

Also why one should care about how much rating it gets on metacritic? The Witcher received less rating on metacritic then The Witcher 3 but i enjoyed original much more then 3. Its not like 3 is a bad game, its exceptional but witcher was even better for its days when it was released. It had same or even better strong questlines and lots of surprises along the way, something that witcher 3 lacked. In the end, game ratings mean nothing.

That was funny. Six years ago you would have been right. But that era's come and gone my friend. BioWare can't write a good story to save their sinking company from being dismantled by EA.

Bethesda didn't make FO1 or 2. Obsidian made FONV and incorporated much of what we would have found in Van Buren. So the combined stories you find in theses games and the progression of the lore is part of being a Fallout fan and makes for a good story. For example, not posting a spoiler but you will find a connection with the West in FO4, which I think is great, but probably didn't mean anything to the game review.

You are wrong, Mass effect trilogy had good story line even though some complain about its ending. It had great remember able characters, Garrus, Tali, Liara, Jack, Mordin to name a few. Dragon age origins also had awesome story, DA2 story was also good although the overall game wasn't because it was rushed and had repeating environments. DAI had not so great story but thats just 1 game. And 6 years is nothing when you talk about RPG's, its just 1 game time as most rpg's release between 3-4 years. Fallout 3 released seven years ago, name one bethesda game that had good story? None. So joke's on you.

Morrowind's dated ass [censored] over almost anything BioWare has ever done except maybe the original Baldur's Gate and KotOR. BW's best game in recent memory was the first Mass Effect and that game's narrative was average at best. Mass Effect 2 had great characters, but the story amounted to "help me with my daddy issues so we can blow up the other guy's base". I'm not touching Dragon Age. As far as I'm concerned Skyrim was a huge, successful middle finger to that IP.

I found on the neogaf thread talking about the same thing. I wish I had made it though!
