Fallout 4 Review | Hardcore Gamer

Whether you’re going to run around in your underpants stealing coffee cups and circuits, build the greatest Wasteland settlement known to man or simply take in all of the wonderful human stories littering the Commonwealth, it’s going to be tough not to fall in love with Fallout 4. This is the type of game that should be played with a spotter, as it’s way more appealing to play more Fallout 4 than it is to eat, drink or sleep. Good luck out there Vault Dweller and try not to literally die on us due to malnutrition.

all these perfect scores but little mention of the frame rate issues,

Stapleface3110d ago

This can be fixed. This isn't Framerate 4. It's Fallout 4. A game not about the framerate. Should they mention it? Absolutely. Should they take points away if it didn't effect the fun for them? No, absolutely not. This isn't the old days where games are stuck in their state of release. Reviewers seem to keep this in mind. Now if the drops and stutters effected their fun, and playthrough then yes dock points. Must not be the case.

reviewers keep it in mind when it suits them.

Aloy-Boyfriend3110d ago

Maybe because the game is so fun these issues can be easily overlooked. Or, maybe the frame pacing isn't as horrible and unplayable as Unity.

It's called selective grading everyone does it for certain games.

Dan_scruggs3110d ago

Jim Sterling gave it a 9.5

I trust his opinion.

'it’s way more appealing to play more Fallout 4 than it is to eat, drink or sleep'.

I might die. My housemate leaves tomorrow to go work on Doctor Strange. He would be my spotter.

TripC503110d ago

I'll buy it when they fix the game.

bananaboats3110d ago

i gave you an agree because I can understand your opinion but at the same time i disagree because a game like this i can wait another week to play.

Gatsu3110d ago

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 14h ago

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

anast20h 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."

helicoptergirl6d ago

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.
