Fall out 4

[Tamesh16]

I have been wanting to enter the fallout games, starting with fall out 4, 

i just want to know if its worth it 

cause i hear the game is really good, but i keep seeing negative reviews too so it has me torn 

btw its on sale for 24 dollars

I found it enjoyable. not BEST GAEM EVAR!! material, but was fun. i would say it's worth the $24. it's much like skyrim, in that there are tons of mods which you can use to change the game to your liking

Its an okay game, but the DLC is better than the main story. If you can get the GOTY edition make sure to do that

 

The older fallouts are also fantastic despite the old graphics, take a shot at new vegas!

For $24 dollars, hell yes!

 

I played it when it first came out, and enjoyed it a lot! Great story, great open world.

 

I don't know where all the negativity comes from about this game. I think it was mostly from Fallout 3 fans that were upset some things changed between 3 and 4. I played 3 myself for a bit, and I definitely enjoyed 4 more, so not sure what people were talking about. People love to hate on things nowadays.

 

Play it, great game I think!

The negativity comes from fallout 1&2 fans, Fallouts were all about dialog and deep narrative, the combat was out there, but you were able to avoid it, talk through it, solve quests in various ways. It's from the times when RPG was not all about gathering news items and buffing yourself to shoot around a lot. From the perspective of F1&2 F4 is more sims than an RPG game. If F4 and F76 were under a different name it would get different ratings, but the direction Bethesda has taken with this franchise deserves heavy critique.

I think Fallout 4 had a great narrative and great dialog options, great characters (Piper, Nick Valentine, etc.), great music, etc. compared to some other games out there. I never played F1 & 2 so cannot compare. It is definitely more of an action / RPG now rather than a hardcore adventure/RPG. But it is still very much about leveling up your character.

 

I don't know, if you judge the game based on its own merits, it is definitely a good game. I guess you can never please everyone.

I'll also just drop Fallout 3 in the mix. You'll want to play through that before going with Fallout 4 or even 76 because it's super clunky in comparison. The atmosphere and narrative are excellent, though.

The gameplay in 4 was definitely an improvement in how smooth it was.  However the characters, RPG elements and world building were definitely weaker than earlier entries in the series.  I have enjoyed 4 (~300 hours) but it definitely falls down in the RPG/story areas and deserves critique for that.

 

I would recommend that people who are interested in the series check out 3 and NV as well and if you don't mind the gameplay style 1&2 as well.  If you are looking for games with great stories and lore then these are the ones you should play.

If you finish Fallout 4 and enjoyed it, I would definitely recommend picking up Fallout New Vegas and 3.  I personally enjoyed New Vegas more than 3, but that is going to vary between people.  If you do get them make sure you install the community patches for a better experience.

[Koeshi]

Are there particular community patches you would recommend?  I have done a bit of modding on F4 but my play through of 3&NV have been vanilla.

Except skyrim doesn't randomly update and break tons of good mods out there
