FO4 was fun enough from a shooting/mechanics perspective but the quests, writing, and locations were bland and forgettable. Never bought any of the DLC and it looks like none of it is worth it, anyway.

Looks great. I really enjoyed playing Fallout 4. I don't understand the extreme criticism.
Indeed. I enjoy the actual shooter. Of course in my mind isn't a Fallout just another "i'm bored, need kill things because i'm only got 30 mns to play today"
lol that sounds about how i played it mostly towards the end

Don't play it.

it's just funny. i ended up doing the silly radiant 'clear out the mutants' and 'setup a settlement' quests once in a while and wondering why long after I grew bored with the rest of the game. I guess it's a testament to the shooter qualities of the game.

Hopefully we get a real nuclear apocalypse to stop this shit from coming out

It still boggles my mind, how fallout only really became popular to the masses after FO3, because it wasn't an RPG anymore.

Met countless of people who never even heard of fO1 and 2.

Jeez louise.

I completed FO4 in 35 hours and I didn't remember a thing afterwards. It was just so bland, boring and forgettable. The only cool things were the armor and weapon customization, almost everything else was total shit. The worst part is that every Bethesda game after Morrowind has been selling more and more one after another and it's more than likely the same shit will continue with TES VI: Skyrim 2. Todd himself said the 4 option dialogue system was shit so I guess that counts for something, but with how amazing the dialogue of Skyrim was I'm not hopeful.

This guy

makes Fallout almost sound playable with the DLC stuff and maybe a few mods.
Might be alright for 20 bucks.

Noah is a good commentator, and he does often have a lot of points when critiquing games (i.e. how awful and counter-intuitive Outlast 2's story is, how schizophrenic Crysis 2 and 3 were narratively and how they went against what made the first game great, and the at-times tryhard edginess that VTM:B exuded at times), but he does have a way of trying to find the best in everything, which has a side-effect of making mediocre-to-bad games sound much better than they actually are. He managed to convince me to re-try Dragon Age Inquisition with all the DLC, and while overall I don't regret the experience (at least it allows me to explain in-depth all the bad design and story-choices it made), it was still a thoroughly mediocre experience, no matter how much he tried to prop it up with praise.
