So many games in my collection are gathering dust right now because of Fallout 4. I am totally hooked on this game and it's pretty much all I've played since Christmas (With a little MKXL thrown in). It's also my first Fallout game.

I really need to start playing other things. I actually have to start The Witcher 3 over, because it's been too long since I played it last and I forgot what's going on.

No Man's Sky will surely break the spell Fallout 4 has on me...

His character is wearing Military Fatigues with a Sturdy Combat Armor Chest piece. Great places to find Combat Armor are at most Gunner occupied locations, and you can also farm Combat Helmets at Parson's State Insane Asylum by killing and looting the Mercs guarding the outside. The mercenaries respawn daily, so you can amass quite a few helmets rather quickly.

If it's what people say and just Fallout 3 2.0, then of course it's a good game. This past summer all I really did was play through Fallout 3 GOTY edition. Very enjoyable game despite the clunky combat. Well designed world and fun upgrade system that keeps players exploring.

I wasn't a fan of Fallout 4.

The game has no soul, and the quests were uniformly terrible. They made a better attempt at creating a realistic wasteland this time (as opposed to the mess that was Fallout 3), but...it's one step forwards, two steps backwards.

@jamzzee: This game is sick indeed! Those ragdolls effects omg and the VATS system is allways cool and unique. The way you lv up in this game has the best lv up system in any rpg i've ever played tbh.

The Armor im waring is a Black Ops Chestpiece (with black star) Has 29 in DMG resist + 29 in Endurance i think. Don't remember where i got it, think i killed some motherfu.... down south/west some place in some small huts or something like that, was dark and rainy so could't see much lol

I've been playing it on my son's XB1. So far, it just doesn't have the same emotional impact as exploring the post nuclear war Washington DC in Fallout 3. Still though, it does do many things better, such as the ability to make the wasteland a safe, habitable place with the creation and expansion of settlements. And, I'm sure that I'll like the PC version much better once I mod the hell out of it. Until then, I'm hoping that there will be some nice mods released for the console versions...

The new Survival mode makes it so, so, so much better.

What other game had me get excited about finding empty beer bottles?

Fallout 4 is absolutely amazing. I've put 413 hours into it to date and I'm on my third character (first survival mode playthrough) who hit level 82 last night. Aside from Doom 3, some l4d with my buds, and the occasional cooldown single player GTA V run, it's pretty much all I play. I really think they should have released the game as the new survival mode, You don't take any gameplay features for granted, making for a much deeper gameplay experience.

It really is a brilliant game.

Fallout 3's environment was one of the best in the entire series

Yes it sure is an excellent game. Been hooked on it again and playing a lot of it recently. Finished the main story line and now tying up some odds and ends before I take on Far Harbor.

the stories of every questline suck, and amount to go here, kill that. The rpg elements are stripped away. The world is way smaller, and not nearly as dense as people make it out to be. There are barely any communities that exist outside of the ones I create myself. If there's a settlement, and I roll up, they will all just try to kill me. No variety. This si coming from someone who played F03 and NV to death.

@hillelslovak: Totally agree with you 100%. I wanted this to be THE game. I wanted it to revolutionize my video gaming experiences. All that happened was I put in 100 hours into it, finished the main quest and other side stuff, then put it away and picked up other games. I think for those of us that wanted a Fallout experience, like real RPG shit and all, we were let down. A LOT. I mean, if I wanted to explore areas of a world and kill enemies for NPCs, I'll play Borderlands 2. And that's not a bad thing, I've still got my copy of that game here and play it more now that summer's here. But this is Fallout. I want to make choices that matter. Bring back the interesting dialogue options and the karma system. Bring back the unique quests that don't always have me killing or fetching things for people. Just sad to see a series I love being streamlined so much.

@poe13: Hate to break it to you, but this was so obviously gonna be the case with Bethesda.

Anyone that expected any real RPG incline from them at this point must be living in a dream world.

Fallout 4 is not a bad game but it not as good as Fallout 3. Fallout 4 biggest problem is the RPG element are horrible. Moral choices and the like in game have nothing to do with it being a RPG. From the start of the game in combat you role has been pick for you as a weapon master and it is such a huge part of the game. You can only pick special power from beyond if you use vats. You can pretend to be not good but there no real role playing in it.

If we are talking about real RPG then why are talking about moral or dialog picks?

@bussinrounds: Yeah I admit anticipation and excitement got the better of me as it had been 5 years since a Fallout game came out and that announcement in the summer as well as Bethesda's amazing E3 showing really got me going. I never once thought that they would dumb it down like they did with Skyrim coming from Oblivion. I just kept watching that E3 demo and kept thinking "Holy Shit! The gunplay looks amazing! The movement is better now that you can sprint! The graphics are better! It's voiced!", but I never once thought they were going to sacrifice the key elements of the Fallout RPG formula (dialogue, karma system, and unique quests/multiple outcomes) in order for this game to happen. I thought all that time that they were working on the game would have them make it on the level of The Witcher 3 or above it, but yes, I looked like an idiot after playing through a good chunk of it. They fooled me by doing this with Skyrim back in 2011 and now they fooled me again. I feel kind of stupid, but I got my dollar per hour worth of the game so at least I didn't waste my money and just play a couple hours of it.

And that's not to say it is a TERRIBLE game, but it's just not a good Fallout game. That isn't me trying to justify what they did to the game to make it so one-dimensional, but I really don't want to trade the game in or sell it off. I will still play it, but other games like The Witcher 3 or DOOM have clearly had studios care so much that they made quality attention to everything big and small in their respective games the biggest factor in the selling point. But yes, looking at it on the other hand, that means the last good Fallout game was New Vegas, which was 6 years ago. Putting it like that sounds fucking awful, but I'll still play it just like I do with 3 from 2008. Hell, I put in another 117 hours into Oblivion last year alone because of how much I love that old gem and it reminded me of my high school days putting in hundreds of hours into it and just becoming lost in its world.

Yeah, I think I lost the point of this rant, but all in all, I admit I fell for the old new-coat-of-paint trick that Bethesda pulled with Skyrim.

It has some great qualities but the engine, dialogue system and writing are all so shitty it ended up leaving a really bad taste in my mouth.

@with_teeth26: I personally think the dialog system is funny as h.... Haha, so much random funny things being said:) just take a look at that video i posted and read/hear the dialog when i shoot that guy with the 10mm kneecappeer, it starts at around 1:14. I agree with the game engine not being that great at least if you compare it to The Witcher 3.

Meh.I adored Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but Fallout 4 feels like such a hollow experience like a shell of the other two in terms of role playing.

All the dialog options feel like different ways of saying the same thing which removes my motivation to find interesting characters.

My biggest issue is 90% of the map feels like it's hostile enemies. So now I just roll my eyes and walk away when I see enemies because other than being bored of killing a million of them, I have more resources than I could ever need.

Skyrim got me into Fallout 4 and it is my first (seriously playing) Fallout game. Before this I did try playing Fallout 3 and New Vegas but stopped after like 30 minutes. This is the first one I put more than a few hours into.

It could be just me, but I really can't get into this game. And I'm trying really hard. I got all the awesome mods; scripts to fix behaviour, graphics and texture packs to make the game look 2015, but it just doesn't seem like enough. The animations are clunky, stealth gameplay is to laugh at, combat is the biggest bore, guns feel (& sound) like modded toys, all the quests (so far) feel the same (go there, kill/get that) and the list goes on and on. The way Skyrim (1000+ hours between different saves) sucked me in, this game fails to do even 10% of it. Plus, for some reason it looks like that Skyrim had much better and awesome(r) mod support than FO4.

However, I'm fairly early in the game. I'm holding up my UNINSTALL till I visit DIAMOND CITY. If the quests, NPCs, story there doesn't hold me; sadly it'll be time to reclaim all that SSD space back then. :(
