Fallout 4

If your worried about graphics then this. If you want a multiplayer experience then play fallout 76. If your after making a difference depending on who you side with then play New Vegas. If your after a game that has a strict reputation system? play fallout 3. If you are new to this and want to be so fucking confused that you figure it out as you go while still getting confused on top of lore? then play fallout 1, 2, and tactics. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR SANITY AND EVERYTHING YOU LOVE, DO... NOT... PLAY... FALLOUT... BROTHERHOOD... OF... STEEL... your welcome. But really fallout is a great series and any game you choose to play first will have a special place that ropes you into the franchise.

Amazing. This game is so much damm fun and a message to all fallout players another settlement is in need of YOUR help

Fallout 4 is the latest installment in the series. This time Bethesda has improved the graphics and upped the system requirements. The game has a large crafting system to allow players to find needed resources. The dystopian game word is very extensive making this game very popular.

I played this on my Dell XPS 9570 with GTX 1050 Ti Max Q. Beware this game is huge compared to the old ones.

Fallout 4 is a great game as Fallout is a great series. People have given Fallout a bad rap but its undeserved.

There is a glitch the devs know about, where if you can't talk to companions anymore. This is a P0 game breaking glitch which PREVENTS QUEST COMPLETION, prevents game progression, outfitting companions with armor, or trading equipment. The only known workaround is to restart game from scratch, or find the one other NPCs who you started a conversation line and didn't finish, like finding a needle in a haystack.

After years and years of knowing about this very simple problem that would take ONE man hour to fix, that completely breaks their game, they've still not fixed it. How many employee hours went into designing a facial wrinkle that cant even be seen during gameplay? Multiple updates have went out without addressing this.

That's why I have to give this game a 1 star, the developer doesn't care to a level that approaches fraud.

Greatest fallout game in my opinion first one i started on and was the best so far i have played all the other games but they just dont feel the same

This goes for every single Bethesda game (only half for Doom because there are no bad bugs) There should be 0 tolerance from anyone that any Triple A game company can not only release but have a game be out for 10 years be this riddled with game breaking and unavoidable bugs and crashes to where you need to download hundreds of mods just to even make the game playable for more than 10 minutes. Also you need to have a separate account from steam to even play their games which comes with more unavoidable bugs that cannot be fixed with mods being progress not being saved and most importantly achievements being bugged so its literally impossible to get someone if they didn't move to steam properly. Insane to me how these games are so positively revived yet only being able to play after spending $20 and 10 hours babysitting the developers and fixing their game for them. I believe bethesda is the worst gaming developers even worse than EA because atleast you can actually load their games.

So many gooner mods lmao but besides that the game is still great pick it up on sale. I’m still hating Sean to this day! 8/10

One of the best games I have ever played. I am not one for Zombie anything, nor post apocalyptic stuff - games, movies, etc. I prefer my enemies to have brains (or level up with me). But I love the post-nuclear annihilation issues that go into this story line. Not a huge fan of the 1950's thing either, but the modern day arms and armor stuff make up for that. I also love being able to save a typical spot and then playing through each of the multiple story lines given. The ending stories based on the players decisions throughout the game are awesome. I'm still playing this game...

Fun at first but honestly the world looks very bleak (which is fitting for a post-apocalyptic setting) and the gameplay gets kind of boring after a while. I liked Cyberpunk 2077 more

Bethesda needs to patch some stuff. I would open my pip boy and wouldn't be able to close it effectively trapping me in the menu. Hell i would have to soft reset the game to actually do stuff

Fallout 4 is an amazing game along with one of the best modding communities and welcoming playerbase

pretty fun, just be ready for alot of options

Very fun, mods add a lot to it, far harbor DLC is great. Wish the story had more to offer after the main ending, like more story to add onto, especially wish there was more BOS quests/missions and dialog.

Personaly, I find it super fun, with the customizability of a lot of things, it makes this game worth the 849.00 Philippine Pesos I spent on then

Bethesda left this game in its rearview mirror to work on other projects for years. All of a sudden they hear about a fan project that's looking to mod in a whole area with fleshed out quests, monsters, NPCs, and things for free. What does Bethesda decide to do? Update the game "for the next-gen" immediately to try and kill the mod.

Same thing with Skyblivion. Massive fan project to give players something carefully crafted with love, and what does Bethesda feel the need to do? They return to a game they hadn't touched in nearly 20yrs JUST to make sure they can make a buck off the remake, spitting in the face of the Skyblivion mod team.

These cretins will not touch a game without profit incentive. They will not finish the game either, as you can see from the hundreds of negative comments already posted here.

best.......game......ever.......i miss games like this, all we get now is some under developed, half planned games with no story and growth, just what crap can we throw out that will make a quick buck!

Bethesda will rob you of your atom shop and CCC and tell you to kick rocks.

if you have a bethesda.net account and want to play on steam you cant because they dont and want merge or reimburse your Products that you paid money for.

you have to contact support and they will do you the kindness of overwriting the account.

i have been at this since I made the mistake of purchusing 76 and ever since the transfer my ccc stuff has been in the void and I have to choose between my character i play on 76 or the trash they put on fallout 4s creationclub.

this company isnt worth the stress anymore, go play a real game

One the best Fallout games. Love coming back to it and playing again and again

If you love the franchise you get it otherwise its more of a city building sim with quests. The story feels clunky, the only somewhat interresting part was the memories of the Kidnapper.

There should be an easy way to play old gen, there are plenty of good mods that don't work due to bethesda suddenly having update the game with content no one wanted.

After spending around 120 hours in the wasteland, Fallout 4 still feels like an unforgettable dive into a raw, post-apocalyptic adventure. The open world brims with intricate details and endless choices that shape your story, even when the occasional glitch reminds you it’s a work in progress. Every journey, every encounter, and every hidden secret makes the hours fly by. It's a rugged, immersive experience that still commands respect and keeps you coming back.

In it's vanilla form this is one of the best games I've ever played. I've played this on multiple platforms and IMO this should be the model for similar game for decades.

What really makes it though is the MODS MODS MODS! The modding community for this game, and most Bethesda games in general, is amazing.

its a really fun game you can get lost in mentally and physically lol i get lost a lot

Recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (150+ hours played)

Fallout 4 is a game that pulls you in and doesn't let go. With 150+ hours in, I can confidently say that it's an immersive, addicting, and sometimes overwhelming experience.

✅ Pros:

Exploration is top-tier. The world is massive, detailed, and full of hidden stories. Every abandoned building has a tale to tell.

Modding potential is insane. If vanilla isn’t enough, the modding community has turned this game into an endless playground.

Combat feels smooth. Gunplay is way better than previous Fallout games, and V.A.T.S. is still satisfying.

Settlement building is addictive. You either love it or ignore it, but if you get hooked, say goodbye to your free time.

Companions are actually interesting. Nick Valentine and Piper alone make the game worth playing.

❌ Cons:

Dialogue system is weak. Compared to New Vegas, choices feel limited.

Bugs and glitches. It’s a Bethesda game—expect some weird (and sometimes hilarious) issues.

RPG mechanics are simplified. It leans more into action than deep roleplaying.

Overall, Fallout 4 is a great game if you enjoy exploration, combat, and world-building. The story may not be the strongest, but the journey makes up for it. If you're on the fence, grab it on sale—and mod the hell out of it.

⭐ 9/10 - War never changes, but my sleep schedule sure did.

I played the snot out of Fallout 3/NV, and have beaten 1 and 2. I did not enjoy this. The game interface just felt really convoluted and I despised the settlement building. The armor system felt like it needed a complete UI overhaul. I did not have fun, and getting a set of power armor and minigun and facing off against a deathclaw in the first mission was...dumb. Oh, and I encountered multiple major graphical glitches in less than 4 hours of playtime.

288 hours and still haven't finished it. Got it on Xbox then on PC and still haven't finished it. Got every DLC and STILL HAVNT FINISHED IT. This game is worth it, a buggy but fun mess.

a really fun base/city building game with some minor story, action and rpg

Its a C at best. The combat is fun and it is a good way to pass time. The settlement building is cumbersom but entertaining. Other than that, the game is is very hollow. The main story is about all there is for questing. Otherwise, its all just fetch and kill quests with no story. Feels a bit unfinished. The DLC's are good especially in comparison to the main game, but are not amazing. I would only buy it on sale, otherwise, play New Vegas.

It's beyond boring, the skill system sucks it's basically "choose this to do 5% more damage" instead of the more creative perks from 3 and NV. The characters are boring and this game is nothing more than a looter shooter

I could care less what annoying angry blowhards say for clicks. I myself love settlement building and this game.

After so many years of fun and +1000 hours playing, just realizing not having left a positive review for this masterpiece.

Best game ever!

I´m 55 and my first game was Defender of the Crown on a C64 in 1986.
I played thousands of games since then. But FA4 is my benchmark for good games.

Best game ever!

Runs terrible and the load times are atrocious (especially on "fetch quests"....)
But it has the baddie Paladin Danse so it's okay I guess! :0

Good gameplay, better shooting, a nice "play how you want" action game. An absolute disappointment as an RPG regarding the story. Do not turn on your brain on if you want to enjoy it. Most of the faction choices don't make sense. The biggest choice you can even make is which one you support. The dialogue wheel is an insult to good RPG-dialogue.
Also if you for some reason want to play Sims light in your first person post-apocalyptic RPG-shooter, this game has a lot of that too for some inexplicable reason. It works, it's just very misplaced.
You can have fun with it, as I obviously have, but the fun is in the mods, the one actually good DLC and just f*cking around. If you want an actually good RPG go play something else.

Its a good and fun game with a lots of issues. How do setlements have problems with raiders on the other side of the map? why do so many npcs never miss with either guns or grenades and seemingly never run out of ammo? why does the game send you into high level zones while you are very low level? there are so many issues like those that are annoying beyond comprehension

Put a couple hundred hours into this game about 8-9 years ago and thought it was awesome. Just returned after the next gen update and I have to say its in a completely horrid state now. Can't sum it up any better than saying no matter how you change the settings it feels like you are playing on console, I guess maybe that's the point since its pretty clear Bethesda doesn't care for its PC community. Numerous problems such as the ABSENCE OF AN FOV SLIDER IN 2025, horrid sensitivity options, the creation club is a pointless cash grab with much better options of the PAID mods on nexus, if you do have mods you should uninstall them(they apparently just give out free mods which are given as quests from the beginning of the game with no barrier to them at all), widescreen support is awful despite that being one the main features of the next gen update. On top of all of this if weapon debris is on the game just wont work for the majority of people no matter the GPU they have. I've seen many people say the graphics look worse since the update and while i never thought the graphics were outstanding on this game something is definitely different, maybe updated lighting with old textures but I have no clue. Stuttering and crashing were common for me as well and I have a pretty nice PC that shouldn't have any problems running this game. Many have said that extensive modding would fix most to all of the issues with this game, however there are many issues with that statement. Mods as small as a bug fix that doesn't give an advantage in the slightest will disable achievements, many casual gamers just simply want to be able to enjoy the game without installing 10 different mods to make the game run correctly. Also, if the game requires extensive modding just to work the way it is supposed to then it's an inherently faulty pile of shit. Sad to say I'll probably never play this game again as it seems to be nearly abandoned entirely. DO NOT BUY.

I have SOME fun playing this game. Half the time it's pretty chill and clearly cares about giving you a nice gameplay experience. The other half is the part Bathesda did. It's clunky as hell, crashes all the time, softlocks you for no reason other than it felt like it. And is over all one of the worst pieces of writing I've ever seen.
Absolute garbage, but so is a cheap pizza. I guess it's FINE

Not the best writing, building mechanics are meh. but good gun play and game play. If your looking for an rpg like the other Fallout games Fallout 4 isn't one but it's still a good Fallout game

I didnt get a Fallout tattoo for nothing. Favorites for years now. Amazon even picked up the show series and its great. Highly recommend!

Loved the vanilla version, but when fully modded, the game is even better. I like building settlements and siding with the Minutemen.

First Fallout game I actually got the chance to play and get into. Tried New Vegas back in the day but it wasn't mine so I didn't actually get the chance to get fully into it. Fallout 4 though sucked me into the Fallout series and thanks to steam I got the chance to play some of the Fallout games I always wanted to try out and never got the chance to.

fallout 4 be so good when you don't have some loser reddit nerd in your ear telling you how much they prefer new vegas.

cause y'know...two perfect games can't exist within the same franchise...

loved this game when i was 14 and i still do 7 years later.

very cool game.

The reason the game is called Fallout, is because you fall out of the map for no reason.

Most of my time playing the game is one PS5, platinuming it. That being said, the game is really good. The story was good enough, but its the exploring and side quests that bring out the best in F4. Obviously a voiced protagonist is a down grade for a Fallout game. Mods really make this game, but even without them, the game is still really good.

You cant just down load the game and play. It gets stuck at 20 fps then you have to go into the games files and change stuff then set your refresh rate to then get stuck at 48 fps. This should not have to be done by players in order to play the game correctly its just pure lazy! Unless you know your way around files etc i would stay away from this game, I grow tired of trying to make it run properly.

Awesome game, great story, mostly easy mechanics, Tons of places to explore, I love it.

8.5/10 - This Game Makes Living in a Wasteland Fun.
This was my first Fallout game, and I’m glad it was, it’s an absolute blast. From deep character customization and branching story/dialogue choices to an extensive selection of side quests and a well-designed companion system, there’s so much to explore. Also, the ability to build and customize weapons, as well as create and manage your own settlement, adds another layer of immersion. Even today, with mod support keeping the experience fresh, I could easily sink countless hours into this game. Definitely recommend!

I love that I can play Bethesda games over and over and get different experiences and gameplay years down the road. Fallout 4 has been my go to game recommendation for those looking to have a fullfilling gameplay experience.

Played it for a bit the vibes and setting of fallout are so cool, however I like the 50s aesthetic part and not really the post apoctalyptic part. I know the male protagonist is canon however I think thats a load of bull and it is more fitting for it to be a badass mother who lives on to protect the memory of her husband and child. 3.5/5

Good game, but not supported on linux/ubuntu. for the love of god add linux support you cheap bastards. you made a big deal out of breaking 90% of nexus with a "next gen update" the least you can do is support most major operating systems
