Your honest rating of Fallout 4, 10 being best obviously, explain why if you wish.

8/10

Very good game, my GOTY for definite. Favorite of the Bethesda Fallouts by a long shot and prefer it over New Vegas as well.

BUT, it is flawed. Dialogue is ropey most of the time, bit glitchy (But I've had no major issues and only a single crash) and just not quite polished enough to warrant a higher rating.

I voted an 8. I am NOT factoring in bad bugs just the actual game. The game is great and combat is much improved (especially real time combat).


I didn't get the same feeling in fallout 4 leaving the vault as I did in fallout 3. Age and nostalgia will do that to you. I feel as I get older and older I am harder to please when it comes to games.


Overall fallout 4 did what it was supposed to; be a solid game that tests new ideas to prepare for the next TES game. Bethesda did a great job and if the dlc and improvements are great I will revisit this rating and possibly push it to a 9.


I think as far as games fallout 4 is my 6th favorite game of all time; not too shabby!

10

It is not perfect, but it's a master piece more fun than any other game this year.

I gave it 9/10 but I'm hopeful that good DLC will push it to 10 but could also go the other way if it doesn't add what I wish for or fix certain bugs/issues

Bethesda made some good progress with the game, gunplay is so much better than before but in many ways the game is also a step backwards. Story seems ok (though I'm not finished with main quest yet) but it limits roleplay too much for an open-world RPG game. It would be fine in a linear game but in Fallout? No, just no. Dialogue is also tied into a certain kind of character, there's no option to play anything else but the worried mommy/daddy role. It's especially annoying for those of us who aren't fond of kids to begin with. And come on, you make your character look like a badass raider and go around killing everyone who looks at you funny but whenever it's dialogue time it's like your character is about to burst into tears! Again, ok in a linear game, in Fallout no.

Sidequests are pretty shallow as well, and don't get me started on settlements! They're fun for the Minecraft-crowd but they just don't add much in terms of content. They could've at least added some radiant quests to them...

Still, overall the game is entertaining. Gunplay is fun and exploring is still good, even though the map is too dense. But once I've explored everything and done the main quest, I'm going back to Skyrim. Give it a year or two and hopefully modders will have fixed the shortcomings.

Let me just say that i hate putting numbers on games, its stupid, but i usually take part of it non the less. If i like a game that is enough for me. So i enjoy Fallout 4 alot and its one of the games i have enjoyed the most the last few years. So that will be my rating.

I gave it a generous 9/10 as it was not as epic as i thought it would be but I love my fallout so felt compelled.

Solid 8/10 for me, great game but it still has a few things that need to be ironed out, potential of scores 9 or 10 depending on what they add via DLCs/patches.( after Geck release mods will push it to 10 for me anyway, but i dont count that as vanilla games score).

7 from me. Would have been easily a 9/10 without the atrocious voice acting and incredibly lacklustre dialogue.

5.75/10

+Good color pallet

+Companions are much improved

+Interesting factions

+Combat has been improved

+AI seems better this time around

+SPECIAL chart is mostly an intuitive way to organize perks

+Mostly free to make the character you want

=The world is nice, but way too cluttered. Feels like I can't walk 20 feet without coming across something to kill. Preferred the loneliness of the Capital Wasteland and the Mojave, where it could be ages before running into something at times

=Settlement building is a nice feature, but doesn't feel as robust or varied as it should. Also has some wonky design.

=Crafting is robust generally, but it feels like there's not enough chances to deck out regular clothes with armors

-Dialogue isn't as robust as it should be, both in terms of your choices and the dialogue trees themselves

-Too few speech/skill checks

-Level requirements for certain perks are unreasonably high, making hacking/lockpicking/sneaking builds much less viable than they should be

-WAY too much emphasis on combat

-World feels way too cluttered

-Neat areas are not properly utilized, instead being used for regular combat

-Lots of ideas feel half-finished

-Mr. 111's voice actor isn't very impressive

-Animal Friend's change has ruined its appeal for me

-Can't use two companions at once

-Can't modify/patch up Codsworth

-Not enough development in various story aspects

-Too few choices in regards to how quests unfold

-Preston Garvey has a stupid name and a bland personality

-Doesn't seem to have the staying power other games have had

-

Overall, a fun game. Improves on its predecessors in some places, is a huge downgrade in others. Don't think I'll be coming back to it as often as New Vegas or Skyrim, and I'm probably done until DLC comes out.

Interesting rating system. What kind of rating would you give to Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and also Skyrim just to throw it in there.

8: good game overall (well, at least modded version of it), but really lacks as a roleplaying game.

9 because despite the headaches it is still the most fun game I have played in a long time.

10/10

but that's basically something like 9,6 in my eyes

it's the best game I've ever played, but it's not perfect

there'll be always room for improvement in the future

If i could put Witcher 3's in depth interactions with fallout 4's gameplay then it would be a damn 15 out of 10!! but it doesnt so i gave it an 8. i DO like it better than any game i have played this year tho.

This is tough. I'm going to give it a solid 7. It is a fun game but the settlement building feature is poorly implemented, the armor/clothing upgrade system has no logic to it at all, the new dialogue function and choices are bad, they're still using the old engine, and they implemented headbob without giving an option to turn it off.

I gave it a 9. Great game, but not perfect

Sadly 6 in the state the game is in right now.

There have been improvements. Lighting is much better, weather is nice, gunplay is way better, enemy AI enhanced, character gen is best yet, the world is more colorful, and general game stability is better. I'm an east coast kinda person so I find the location interesting as well.

Then there are the "six of one, half dozen of the other" things. Crafting is great and all but I can't create anything like the weapons in FO3. The power of creation is always greater than modification. Power armor system is great but why is there so much of it laying around? No training? Companions are much more interesting this time around but their AI is so frustratingly bad I'd rather be alone. The settlement system is a wonderful addition but comes with so many additional problems that I start to wonder if the game was even playtested by humans. I won't even mention the parts of it that seem half finished because the amount of automatic radiant quest spam that comes with it makes me avoid it entirely.

While crashes and freezes are much less frequent than before there are still tons of bugs. I'm usually willing to cut Bethesda some slack in this department but when I find a major area where every single quest is bugged in some form or another with most of them uncompleteable I lose my frickin mind.

Finally there's player agency, or the lack thereof. I love my pc's voice but in dialogue I have the choice to say "Yes," "Yes," "Sarcastic yes," and, "More info." I can't ask any faction leaders difficult questions because why? I can't challenge anyone verbally so I'm forced to pull out a gun and enjoy the new shooting mechanics. Right. Normally my pc sounds great but anytime there's a mention of her child suddenly she's on the edge of tears and the whole scene just falls apart. My back story is written for me and my character is railroaded into being something I don't want her to be because of the lines that were written for her to speak. I simply cannot be evil no matter how much I try.

Wherever my pc goes if she gets close enough to certain people I'm going to have auto updates to my map and my journal. I don't even have to be close enough to these npcs to hear what they said. In one case I went sprinting by a guard and yet hearing two words was enough to get a map marker and a journal update. Also happens when I go to settlements and faction hq's. Everywhere I go I'm told what to do with no option to decline. This trend started in Skyrim and it is absolutely out of control in Fallout 4. This spoonfed quest giving needs to be stopped in it's tracks and knocked over the big green wall in left field never to be heard from again.

I want to like this game a lot more than I do but right now I just can't. I have enough hours played to say I got my money's worth but I'm still left slightly salty because of what I see as wasted potential and lack of QA.

10. Fallout 4 is legitimately one of the absolute best games I've ever played. I've always been a gamer, but I rarely get addicted to games like I have to Fallout 4.

8/10

A million miles better than Fallout 3, but a few steps down from NV.

Story and quest design: 5/10

Combat : 7/10

Graphics : 8/10

Sound : 7/10

Dialogue and characters : 2/10

RPG mechanics : 6/10

5.83 /10 ~ 6/10

i give it a 8, overall the game is a huge improvement over NV and 3.

3 icecream cones out of 7* to the 2nd power of puppy dog tails....

' 7 '

Bethesda only knows how to make one kind of game and thats an Elder Scroll game..........they can't slap the same formula to every other franchise......just doesn't work....

(P.S. Even for TES this formula is getting old)
