Mick Fraser: "Luckily, the robot crafting and new enemies are enough to carry Automatron above a smattering of bugs and glitches that bleed in from the main game. It crashed for me on two boss fights, and the usual visual anomalies persisted as robot parts floated in mid-air or vibrated around the floor after a fire fight. It’s to be expected with given the main game, maybe, but that isn’t an excuse. Thankfully, Automatron’s positives are enough to make it a solid opening jaunt into Fallout 4′s future."
BacklogCritic: "Automatron is a good start to the Fallout 4 DLC. The story was a welcome short stint into a robot building facility, that had some interesting moments. The main positive coming out of this DLC has to be the robot creating feature. If you enjoy the settlement building in the base game, this will be just another reason to go hunting for scrap parts. Automatron is worthy set of content for your time if you have it."
With the release of Far Harbor, Fallout 4 has received all three of its confirmed DLCs. Here's how they all stack up against one another so far.
What DLCs? Far Harbor is the only one worthy thing in this pile of crap. It's not like we have much choice. There's one story DLC and two build your sim//robot/settlement things. I remember when Howard lied to us that settlements are going to be optional. Surely they are optional - e.g when game forces me to build a freaking teleport and they offer two crappy DLCs instead of story content with new landmasses. It's f#%@&@ optional.
Some casual bethesda defenders are going to yell at me "they are optional, you don't have to buy them!!!oneone". Yeah. But it's not like I have much choice do I? They should focus on the story addons, just like in the FO: NV and FO3. That's hovever, not the case as we'll soon see another two workshop addons called "Wasteland workshop #2" and "Wasteland workshop #3"
But casuals are happy with their settlements, mutating enemies and legendary drops (even if legendaries have no fucking sense lore-wise)
Also anyone who doesn't have Alzheimer's knows a bethesda games comes with at least 30 dollars of dlc.
gave everyone fair warning of like a month before upping the cost so anyone bitter about that clearly had no interest to start with
So? When they increased season pass price, we were being told they'll make $60 worth of dlc addons. We already got Far Harbor ($25), wasteland workshop ($5) and automatron ($10) = $40
Now they're going to release NukaWorld ($? will be less than $25) and two wasteland workshop addons ($5 + $5). And that's it.
Lol you're adorable. It's like you want to hate because you feed off of it for survival. Whats next? You going to cry about your grandfather and then kill your dad while crawling in my skin plays in the background?
CRAAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIN THE SITH IT ISSSS SO REEEEALLLLL
Oh I see the problem. You're playing a Bethesda open world RPG on the console. When will people ever learn.
you see PC people will never be liked if they keep down-talking to the majority...it's like being donald trump and saying why don't you just get a million dollar loan from your dad and get a PC
Want to explain why you don't have a choice, does someone really have a gun pointed right to your head?
If it's because you bought the season pass that was once again your choice no one was forcing you to buy it and if your salty about it being $50 they gave you a chance to buy it at 20
I will admit the first two DLC were bad in terms of Fallout DLC standards they could have been easily just a free mod. Still Fallout games typically get to Big expansions so the other stuff in between is fair as the DLC is typically $30 anyway
I think this article is already redundant as Fallout 4 has only received one worthy expansion, Far Harbour.
The atmosphere of Far Harbor is simply amazing, from the art design to the soundtrack, they really nailed the whole Lovecraftian new england town vibe.
Fallout 4’s first piece of DLC has arrived. This should give gamers a
reason to jump back into the game. There should be enough to keep gamers
interested for a bit until Far Harbor is released in May.
I only experienced one bug that prevented a fight from continuing, but I liked the Automatron. I wish the Wasteland DLC pack offered as much as this did. Here's to Far Harbor later this month!
