Seems like a lot of people disliked Fallout 4. I thought it was incredible! It was one of my favorite games of last gen, and my personal favorite Fallout game.
- The most detailed and vibrant world Bethesda ever created. Pack to the brim with incredible environmental storytelling. The world was actually enjoyable and rewarding to explore. Ever since Oblivion, Bethesda have been masters at this.
- Incredible sound design, incredible soundtrack, beautiful art design. A coherent package with a clear design direction.
- Great feeling gunplay, especially for a massive open world RPG. No matter what people have said, F4 really has great gunplay. Guns had impact, great/punchy sound design, great animations. It was such a significant improvement over their previous games.
- The gameplay was fun and satisfying, it was so good that I found myself not using VATS as much, especially compared to F3 and New Vegas.
The only negatives I experienced was the ending. You only had 4 or 5 choices for how the game ends, none of which are really great. Not a big deal considering I had over 200 hours of enjoyment. Voice acting for your character was not a negative for me. When I play RPG's I only play one character type, Paragon/Good, so I personally don't really care about various choices, as I typically only go with the best/good choice. I did really like the sarcastic choice in Fallout 4, gave the game a lot of character.
Fallout 4 was the smoothest, least buggy Bethesda I've played. I only experienced physics bugs and getting stuck in the world geometry a handful of times. For a 200 hundred hour experience it was inconsequential. Physics bugs are hilarious anyways, and I see them in pretty much any game that uses HAVOK. Bugs/glitches do not bother me in the slightest, the only thing that would be a REAL negative would be corrupted save files, of which I have never experienced with a Bethesda game.
