I'm so with you, man.
Meh. I think the game is fucking amazing.
To each their own.
I agree. It's a pretty mediocre game that I had a lot of fun with, purely because the single player FPS genre is in such a dire state.
Like, I legit feel bad that I had to play fucking Fallout 4 to get my FPS fix for 2015, but whatever.
Holy shit at the first page, every post that likes the game is banned lol
For the record, I did not play fallout 4 because I don't enjoy any bethesda RPGs anymore. Nothing I've seen has given me pause on that decision.
Honestly, I'm not sure I really understand the FO4 backlash.
I mean, I entered the game with very reasonable expectations and with the exceptions of the narrative, the characters, the dialogue system, the voiced protagonist and established backstory that eliminate any real flexibility in roleplaying, the RPG mechanics, the leveling mechanics, the combat mechanics, quest design, encounter design, world-building and world reactivity, I feel like FO4 really delivered on all of its promises, easily earning the title a place in the pantheon of all-time great RPGs.

I love the game but I wouldn't put it in the all-time great. Not yet anyway, we'll see with the DLC/mods.
But I too don't understand the backlash. It's a great game with some flaws, but I feel like Bethesda went forwards more than it did backwards with the series.
Where did it go forward? The shooting was improved yes, but everything else is either the same or a step back

Just off the top of my head:
The new leveling/perks system is better
General gameplay (shooting, movement, animations, balancing)
Crafting system and weapon/armor modding
Itemization and legendaries
Main quest is tons better than FO3
World building (more compact, always something to find, NPC react to your actions more)
Companions are a great addition, albit some are really shallow
Did I miss something where everyone on the first page who said they liked the game got banned?
And while I hoped that they might have learned from Obsidian and New Vegas, I'm not surprised that they just did the same old crap with the storytelling.
Oh, god... Is this for real?
Is the writing in this game that bad?
Playing it felt like it was made by a team that was just given a task to do it, not by the one that wanted to do it.
Soulless, extremely safe and just boring.
You know, thinking about it I have a pretty big problem with how VATS works in general in this game (at least, until you get the 'shoot through walls' perk). People were super positive about the fact that it now slows down time instead of freezing it, but it just defeats the purpose of VATS for me. I have had many times where a shot failed because the enemy slow-mo walked behind a pillar or wall while I was targeting him (or more annoyingly, during the shooting animation) and the game failed to mention that my hit percentage was now 0% instead of 95%. I wasted entire magazines on this shit.Using V.A.T.S with the Blitz perk caused all sorts of weird shit to happen, including clipping through walls or simply failing to attack properly.
Concerning the world building, I do have something to add:
FO4 world-building and writing is totally 'goofy' and 'gamey' and I had zero problems with that, because it felt like the game wasn't taking itself too serious. It was almost like a playable saturday morning cartoon for adults.
The W3 on the other hand is more ambitious and wants to tell a mature/serious story
on the same level novels and movies do. For me, W3 fails in this regard. At some point in the game the overall tone of the game totally changed for me (everthing after Baron's quest). With every little piece they added to the W3' world over the course of the game they ruined my positive impressions when I started the game.
Apparently agreeing in on sentence is OK, disagreeing in one sentence is not....
I have held off on Fallout 4 so far as I didn't really put the hours in on Fallout 3. I think I am going to go back to that one first.
Why are people getting banned for saying they liked Fallout 4. What gives?
If it's because of them not adding to the conversation, what about those who are just saying 'I agree' and that's it?
If you disagree with the OP, try to actually elucidate WHY. Posting merely "I enjoyed it" or something like that is pointless white noise at best, and a passive aggressive attempt to drown out criticism at worst. Stop.

Incredibly disappointing game. Maybe mods will save it for me in a year or two.
Well yeah, of course it is. Why should you elaborate on anything if you agree with someone? You'd end up writing the same shit the guy you agree with did. It's generally expected of you to explain where you're coming from if you disagree with someone, otherwise you just sound like you're trying to dismiss their opinion.
The point is the contents of the post, not how short it is.
