Do you like Fallout 4 ?

OP - apparenty you think all gamers are below 30 years old.

You are wrong. Look at you poll.

Also, why are you asking for ages when you're asking questions like this? What difference does it make?

Why does my age matter?

That seems pretty irrelevant. Either that or flame-bait.

People who dislike a game like saying that "Only kids like it!". I guess the OP tried to check if that's true here.

you forgot the option of "Meh it's a game" If I am having fun nothing else matters. I never like nor dislike a video game. it does get annoying when things don't work the way the developer claim or the leave out important information about aspects of the game that are less enjoyable, because of micromanagement.

Ha!, there is no upper limit for computer gamer ages, and 31 is close to the average age of gamers these days. What are older people supposed to do? they can't see any more so reading books is out, television is trash and everything hurts to much to be physical. I read books on my e-reader and play computer games for entertainment, and I'm way over your 31+

Pretty much. I've played 2 though, a little of 1, 3 lots and lots and NV for only about 850 hours. I'm 40 hours into this thing after buying it 3 days ago. I like it a lot, as its way more immersive than NV and so far almost completely bug free. I've now had a freeze which is the only thing wrong with my game to date. There are a some things I'm not sure about, but I won't say I dislike them yet as I don't know if its me misunderstanding or something wrong with the game. Its a solid 8.5 for me at the moment, and it should get higher with mods.

Yeah, I like it. At first I was less impressed than I was by Fallout 3, but as I kept playing it eventually grew on me, and I ended up getting svcked in. In the end I have to say that I like it more than Fallout 3, but not nearly as much as Fallout, Fallout 2 and New Vegas. It's a great game, albeit a great game with some serious problems... the dialogue system, controls, UI, writing, and quest design really stand out, and none of these are small issues. Still, I've been able to look past the game's flaws and enjoy it - which is the most anyone can really hope for.

54 years old.
I've played every TES game and every Fallout game.

Once again, I'm hooked. Change is good and Bethesda has nailed it.

I love it, I'm 40 plus and its probably one of the best games I have ever played, and I have played a lot. I have already put over 50 hours into the game and not even close to completing it. Its one of the best open worlds in any game, its pretty much a living breathing world.

For the latest in a sereis almost 20 yeras old, the large number of older players makes sense.

42 next week, although sometimes I am still feeling like 13 in heart. I started gaming with things like bard's tale or little computer people on c64, i played every Fallout Game and all Elder Scrolls Games since Daggerfall and i like F4 very much. I had already almost 50 hours full of fun and I am sure, that number will grow a lot, especially after the release of the CS, hopefully in January. I used most of my ingame time for sidequests and minute men quests in diamond city and the NW of it.

There are several points, that were already mentioned above, that could have been done better and some decisions made by Bethesda weren't the smartest in my eyes, but those negative points can't make this a bad game, by far not.

43 and love it. Looks great, runs great. Have only encountered one bug, the disappearing arms. But it went away after switching from first to third person, and back. Not understanding all the problems people are saying they have. I even got it to run on my old PC that doesn't even meet the system requirements.

This is something I would've liked to be able to say.

Alas, the inflation has kicked in hard. I've admittedly not put too many hours on the game (and I need to play on a platform that I find uncomfortable since I do not own the game myself), but still... I can't shake off the feeling of "been there done that", that this game has nothing really worthwhile new to offer, that it does not renew or improve the "Bethesda formula" enough to keep it interesting on enough levels (and in a lot of cases, it has evolved in the exact opposite direction that I would've had liked to see). All things considered, there's a problem if, for several hours, I have to struggle to keep myself going with the hope that "maybe it picks up soon". After reaching that point, looking back at previous Beth games, it never does.

Going to be 22 on Friday, and I am in love with this game.

Ive been playing since Morrowind when I was a wee kid who took a chance on a cool looking rectangular box in EB games back in 2004. Since then Ive yet to find a developer that does such consistent good work as Bethesda. They have some elements they've done that I don't like over the years, ive detailed that before, but compared to almost every other developer who I would be interested in its really no contest. I played a lot of Total War back in the 2000s aswell, grew up on that. Has anyone here played Empire Total War? Or Rome 2 Total War? Those games break my heart. Its the same all across the industry, every developer has stinkers, but Bethesda has never released a game like Empire, and I don't think they ever will allow something like that to happen.

This is definitely a problem with Fallout 4. Fallout 3 did a much better job at svcking the player in early on. Fallout 4 has a really slow start, the factions you interact with early on aren't terribly interesting, and the early game quest design leaves much to be desired.

It does, unfortunately, take quite a bit of time for Fallout 4 to pick up. At least it did for me.

47 here and i am enjoying most of it. I might be loving it if it wasn't for the game breaking bugs I have run into with a certain part of the map. Even if those were not present I don't think this is a game of the year material even though it probably will win it running away just based off of sales. What keeps me in a positive mood is knowing that some sweet mods are coming.

I'd say it's actually a substantially better game than Fallout 3. The combat is much more enjoyable and the setting/NPCs on the whole are more interesting (not that this was a high bar to clear). Still not what I'd like to see in a game that calls itself Fallout 4 or much of an RPG but hey that was true of Fallout 3 as well. Pair this sort of gameplay with a NV-esque world and quest design and I think I'd wholeheartedly enjoy it which is a personal first for a game that still clearly follows the Bethesda format.

That said settlement building is pretty boring and distracting and I'm not at all clear why it was included. It's every bit as disjointed and pointless in relation to the rest of the game as I thought it would be.

52 here -- been playing Fallout-ish ever since Wasteland on C=64 (yes, back in 1987).

I do like it -- even more so now that I've invested some time in it.

Now . . . if they would just fix the key binding for the PC I'd be a very happy camper.
