Fallout 4 Review | IGN

IGN:
The world, exploration, crafting, atmosphere, and story of Fallout 4 are all key parts of this hugely successful sandbox role-playing game. Great new reasons to obsessively gather and hoard relics of happier times, strong companions, and sympathetic villains driving tough decisions make it an adventure I’ll definitely replay and revisit. Even the technical shakiness that crops up here and there can’t even begin to slow down its momentum.

Sweet. All my fall games have been 9s! lol! Cant wait to get stuck into this. Ill have TR and fallout 4 by the end of this week...but which do I play first? Im still neck deep in forza and halo, but having TR and fallout 4 as my adventure and RPG games, rounds things off VERY nicely.

Gazondaily3110d ago (Edited 3110d ago )

Been a great year for gaming really, particularly in the holiday period. My backlog is massive. I still need to complete MGS, Tomb Raider, Halo 5, Forza, Cod and now this. Still, good times.

Masterofwiiu3ds3110d ago

If you can get a backlog off of Xbone games, you'd never see the light of day with a PS4.

I kid! I kid! Can't we all just get along? :)

donthate3110d ago (Edited 3110d ago )

@Masterofwiiu3ds:

Drumrolls.... Septic already has a PS4 and that is the entire list worthy!

I kid! I kid! Can't we all just get along? :)

Gazondaily3110d ago

@Master

Nah not into Hatsune Miku Upskirt Mega Edition Volume 3.

I kid I kid :P

MSBAUSTX3110d ago

I am worried that IgN is just handing out 9.5 scores these days just because.

RedDevils3110d ago

Not bad for a Bugthesda's game

Hell yeah, same for m e. I'm knee deep in games atm and bout to go deeper.

"but which do I play first?"

lol. I think we all know the answer to that.

UltraNova3110d ago

Play TR first as it will take you up to 12 hrs, then you'll be free to take on F4 that requires anywhere from 50 to 100 hrs depending on your game style.

Flash813110d ago (Edited 3110d ago )

My brother just beat TR in 8 hours on the Xbox 360. Does the Xbox one version have extra levels??

RiseofScorpio3110d ago

The they have more time for the campaign since there's no multiplayer.

ThePope3110d ago

If you beat TR in 12 hours you will be missing out on things. I beat the first one it 19 hours and collected almost everything.

Flash813110d ago (Edited 3110d ago )

Fallout 4 is definitely worth 60 bucks!! Tombraider would be a rental to me if my brother didn't have it. Under 8 hrs is always a rental to me if its just a single player game. Or wait until it gets on sale.

Masterofwiiu3ds3110d ago

@Flash - agreed. You could probably get Fallout 4 right now, and by the time you're done (depending on how much free time you have to game), Tomb Raider will be discounted.

modelgod3110d ago

I have 1,3000 hours in Never winter so I should breeze thru birth TR and Fallout 4 like it's nothing.

MSBAUSTX3110d ago

Yay 50+ hours of mindless running across the same looking terrain and killing basically the same thing over and over again only to gather an item that you should have been able to get when you were in this place 30 levels ago. Sounds great.....yawn..... No thanks. Did it in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I'm not falling for it a third time.

MazzingerZ3110d ago

Hope not as buggy as usual...will wait for a couple of patches

madmonkey013110d ago

main issues seem to be the frame rate, especially the x1 version. patches should improve it.

iistuii3110d ago

I'd play TR for its entirety & keep on F6, then complete Halo5 & do some warzone & by the time your done with all that maybe, just maybe they would have patched Fallout 4 to something that plays anywhere near as smooth as those other great games. I have no idea how a game can get nearly a perfect score when the frame rate drops so badly, even to 0fps at one part & has floating objects & other bugs. The Witcher was the same, 10 patches later it smoothed out the framerate...just.

showtimefolks3110d ago (Edited 3110d ago )

IGN can only give out 9 and above but after they gave evolve a 9 all respect and credibility was lost

Waiting for some honest gamer reviews on YouTube

Angryjoe

BTW not hating on fallout 4 it's already pre ordered. Just stating that too many games get 9's.

Already digital foundary did a video and they Cleary stated that both ps4 and Xbox one version has long load times

Xbox one version also has frame rate dips to ZERO in some areas

Hopefully some patches are coming soon

Witcher 3 and bloodborne had long load times at launch but both improved greatly with patches so here is hoping for the same. My only issue with Bethesda is that they usually are not quick to release patches

Also why is it that Bethesda games always launch with issues yet reviewers never say anything. It's to a point where this gas to improve from Bethesda end

yarbie10003110d ago

Angry Joe lost a lot of credibility with a lot of people when he kept talking about beating Halo 5 in 4 1/2 hrs. He played it Co-op on NORMAL.

BlackTar1873110d ago

@yarbie whats wrong with his play time even though he did coop normal? Is this some new standard that has been set all of the sudden where playthroughs have to be solo on max difficulty?

showtimefolks3110d ago

Yarbie

For your kind information every reviewer plays the review copy on normal/default setting

Also halo 5 campaign is about 4 to 5 hours and that's a fact, halo 4 from what I remember was about the same too

Atleast Joe has the guts to call out game companies that either try to take advantage of gamers or release unfinished or broken games

s45gr323110d ago

Halo is best played with a buddy. It just feels lonely and kind of meh playing Halo solo.

ThanatosDMC3109d ago

Yarbie1000, how does Angry Joe lose credibility when he reviewed it honestly?

Aenea3110d ago

TR has mulitplayer elements, right? at least online challenges and such, might be more fun to start with that one then!

By the time you're finished with TR the minor framerate issues and some other little bugs that are bound to happen in a huge open world game could have been patched!

Null3110d ago (Edited 3110d ago )

Be on the lookout for spoilers. People are mixing the game ending spoiler with regular comments or just making it their name. I don't even know why you would spoil the games ending.. The main mission in almost every Bethesda game is always like two hours long and you spend the rest of the game just having fun making your own story

Neonridr3110d ago

what do you mean spoilers? People are ruining the game??

How dare they do... Han shot first... such a thing

Null3110d ago

That's not funny. I'm currently watching those movies. Grow up

Neonridr3110d ago

lol... my apologies kind sir.

BlackTar1873110d ago

sorry you don't get to complain about spoilers on a 30yr old movie.

Taero3110d ago

It's cynical of me but I read your comment in kind of a jerky eye motion because I was suspicious of you putting it in the middle :p like a "watch out for ending spoilersSPOILERpeople are doing that"

Elit3Nick3110d ago

*Looks at name* Oh god, everyone dies confirmed

cfc783110d ago

Judging by the scores (didn't read the article just incase of spoilers) were in for a great game.

11 hours to go hope we all enjoy.

Garethvk3110d ago

I have been playing almost a week now. I can say it is easily the most accessible game in the series.

Automatic793110d ago

Is fallout 4 as slow as Fallout 3 and is the shooting mechanic closer to a shooter game then a turn based RPG?

Garethvk3110d ago

For me it was faster and easier. It does take some getting used to. We have some video up and you can see the mechanics in action. The biggest issue for me was something coming at me, I tended to be early or late with firing so I died a few times until I got it sorted out.

iistuii3110d ago

I'm reading it has frame skipping & terrible frame rate issues, have you noticed this ??

Garethvk3110d ago

No but a 4 GB 9700 card on an I7 with 24 Gb Ram.

iistuii3110d ago

Ahhhh PC the way to go then, cheers for reply..

RedDevils3109d ago (Edited 3109d ago )

A low-mid end gaming pc will do

Paytaa3110d ago

Hahaha yeah I'm going to be a straight up vampire the next couple days playing this. Goodbye world.

How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.

bondsmx1d 11h ago

Well, I still crashed like 5 times last night within two hours. So there’s that.

anast17h ago

I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

Furesis6d ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

Vits6d ago

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.

anast6d ago

They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.

anast6d ago

I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.

Good-Smurf6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.

MrDead6d ago

It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
