[The Elite]

No big outlet coming in with a 7.5/10?

I want to see chaos and mayhem.

This game is going to be my first big test for the Steam LINK and controller. Glad it's good.

Destructoid - 7.5

Huh, Destructoid have been harsher than the average recently. That's not a complaint either, I kinda like it.

Destructoid - 7.5

I <3 Destructoid.

 

[soundscream]

Hmm

I saw your 6.5 from polygon prediction.

 

[DukeBobby]

Good scores so far.

It might end up with a similar Metacritic score to The Witcher 3, Bloodborne and MGS V.

GOTY discussions should be fun this year.

 

[Balmung421]

Damn all these high scores nice

[mephixto]

Ok, time to buy and pre-load.

 

[DNAbro]

People actually thought it was going to review badly?

 

[Fonds]

Angry Centaur Gaming

This is a guy I trust, says buy it.

 

[Xando]

It reviewed great. As expected.

Let the Gaf meltdowns begin.

 

[Denton]

So is this like a 9/10? Don't want to read because spoilers

More like 8. 9 an 10 would be essential, lol

 

[Elandyll]

It's going to need a few 10s to have an overall 90+ MC, but strong start so far.

My prediction: High 80s' (87-89)

 

[gossi]

This is gonna be the first properly high scoring Metacritic game of this generation. FINALLY.

 

[brokenbeans]

Good to know even though I won't read them till I've played the game.

 

[shoryukens]

85 metacritic calling it

 

[aravuus]

Great scores.

That's all I'm saying for now, I'll come and see this thread again in a couple of days. Have fun, people!

 

[Anung]

Dat all you can eat crow buffet.

Good scores! Though to be honest I never doubted it'll score well. I just hope reviews didn't gloss over tech issues.

 

[Calmine]

If it gets a 84 metacritic does that mean Obsidian will get their bonus?

Our review is live on Push Square. Our reviewer really liked it - framerate issues on the PS4, but no major bugs or glitches encountered in almost 100 hours of play.

Fallout 4 PS4 Review

Fallout 4 is a masterclass in open world design. Consistently engrossing and absolutely stuffed with intricacies, it's a title that'll keep you enthralled for hours at a time as you gradually unravel its desolate yet hopeful post-apocalyptic portrayal of Boston. Although it's let down by some disappointing frame rate issues, it's not enough to detract from what's otherwise one of the most atmospheric and beautifully brutal games on the PS4. Significantly improved combat, a constant wealth of gameplay options, and a heavy emphasis on player choice combine to create an adventure that's truly memorable.

I'm curious to read some reviews but I was going to buy this game whether it got straight 1s or straight 10s.

 

[Kane1345]

Really hyped to play this!

 

[M.D]

I don't always pre-order, but when I do it's for a good fucking game

Did Eurogamer get so much flack they removed review scores?

Eurogamer got rid of scores in February.

 

[Sniffynose]

Huh, Destructoid have been harsher than the average recently. That's not a complaint either, I kinda like it.

The technical side is gonna be bad, every platform ffs...

Did anyone make a positive review excuses image? Lol

Jim Fucking Sterling Son 9.5

Cemented. Nobody cares what the other pencil neck dweebs think.

GOTY.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

More troubling still, I've suffered an appalling frame rate that plummets to what appear to be single figures during moments of intense action, and lengthy pauses while the game hangs and decides if it wants to continue or not. I've only suffered one fatal crash in over 50 hours of play, but that's not really a record worth celebrating. Experience tells me that with any Bethesda RPG, such issues tend to get worse over time, as your save file balloons, rather than better.

oh god

 

[v0mitg0d]

Yay! I can talk about Fallout 4!

So the short and sweet version: It’s fantastic, but there are a few things that bothered me.

I recorded a spoiler-free review video here:
https://youtu.be/rKPjJoAIJgU

I also made a 1080P/60 video of the PC version on Ultra settings:
https://youtu.be/h0CzFpWoZJY

Also, I made a workshop/settlement tutorial because the game does an awful job t explaining…well anything:

Overall technically a mess, but after a rough and long start it gets really good.
