Varrok you tried too hard to hate Fallout 4 and your above post is garbage. If you put more time and effort into exploring the game and being unbiased you could have written a much more effective summary of why it's bad. Your frustration with the games industry ruined a post I was really looking forward to  |
I'd have probably explored it more if not for terrible memory management in this game. I have whole 6 gigabytes of RAM and it's never enough for F4. After an hour of continously playing this optimizabomination the framerate drops to 0,5 FPS and it's hard to even close the game. This is just shameful. That's bad coding at its finest.
I admit the review's a bit biased. The second half, at least. I wrote it today, on impulse. But I can honestly say, it's not that hard to find other reasons, all perfectly unbiased and logical, to why this game is really, really bad. I just might not be the one for the task.

Anyway the game's ok. It's passable in most areas, and there are a lot of those area. It's a jack of all trades, and that's why everyone loves it. If you go in with an open mind and heart you'll find something fun in there. This game isn't art, and it won't be remembered in 100 years like the original Fallouts will be, but games that are fun have their place. It's a pity the mainstream media weren't harder on it, but that's just the climate at the moment.

You know, if you said the same about Fallout 3 some time after its release I might have even agreed with you, as I can understand Fallout 3 has some... moderately... fun... aspects. But this game feels infinitely worse.
And I did complete Fallout 3, even the DLCs, despite the fact I wouldn't recommend it to any Fallout fan. I initially thought I was able to complete F4 as well, because, why not, but each new step, new dialogue feels like a deep insult to my intelligence, and that's something that's apparently too much for me. I was unable to get any fun of the game. Even hating it hadn't given me any bitter-sweet pleasure, like it did with Fallout 3. It's just sorrow.
Honestly. It's weird. I don't remember any other game that made me feel this bad after playing it.
Oh wait.
Deus Ex Invisible War. Avoid like fire.
...even DE:IW I completed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again though - this game shouldn't have been a Fallout title. If it was made by another developer with a different name there would have been a very different response to it, but it would still be popular and fun for most people. I don't know if I've said this here, but Fallout 3 should have been a new IP and this should have been its sequel.

Fair enough.
