Our review is posted. It is based on the PC (Steam) version of the game. I play tested the PS4/Xbox One versions and compared my experience with the reviewer.

It seems night and day, when mentioning the significant framerate issues that exist on the PS4.

SelectButton - 9/10

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Gamespot talking about "excellent storytelling".....I think I will wait for some GAF impressions here.

 

[Krabboss]

If broken piece of shit New Vegas can get 84 metacritic, this won't have any problem reaching 90.

Pretty much. Same goes for Master Chief Collection, it reviewed well as well. And Bethesda games have a history of scoring highly despite what some of us on GAF would call flaws.

 

[Kathian]

Am in work what are GB saying? Seems like a good result; might be tempted to bite earlier than planned. Hopefully a strong cast of interesting characters.

 

[Maxrunner]

People actually thought it was going to review badly?

Unfortunately Bethesda will continue to have free pass it seems....

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

You must have missed a few games this year.

Hold me, GAF.

[Jebusman]

Why did anyone expect this to score any less than a 9/10 from major outlets? At all?

How many times have we been through this with every game in existance.

It doesn't matter how many flaws or what flaws you find, or complaints about regression in systems, buggy performance, etc, the hype train consumes all and 9/10s will be thrown about.

Then in 6-12 months from now we'll start nitpicking the shit out of the game and people will start questioning "Wait why did we think this game was amazing? It's still good but this is nowhere near perfect".

Again, and again, and again.

I'll play Fallout 4, but man, anyone expecting this game to get any less than 90s was in some dream world.

DF also says the PS4 version runs better.

Everybody take a crow.

Does OP know that he's supposed to update the OP with scores?

op i think you're supposed to update the op with reviews op op op po

I was planning on making a nice little review thread, but of course I was beaten by someone jumping the gun and doesn't actually update the OP.

 

[Syringe]

Swedish Gamereactor = 10

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Hey OP, if you're going to make a review thread, it'd be appreciated if you actually put some effort into it. I would have been more than happy to have created a Fallout review thread and updated it throughout the day.

Edit - Ok, you're at least adding some links now.

 

[FeelTheKick]

This is from Sterling's review

There are less city-level settlements and lengthy sidequests overall, with a focus being more on repeatable quests that tie into the settlements you can build. There are still loads, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like the game could have used more traditional quests alongside the repeatable “Clear this area of raiders” ones that pop up

I don't like it

 

[DryvBy]

This might---might---knock Withcer 3 off the thrones for me. That's going to be tough though.

Damn, I knew the game was going to review well but not that well. Good job Bethesda.

 

[DNAbro]

Unfortunately Bethesda will continue to have free pass it seems....

You haven't even played the game lol

Even if there are tech issues, it just kind of proves that people don't really care as long as it's playable.

 

[Sifl]

oh god

Guess stuff like this still doesn't factor into review scores.

 

[Tubie]

Were people here really expecting low reviews for this? Seems that way from reading the first few posts in this thread.

I wasn't expecting low reviews but almost universal 9+ is amazing, can't way till midnight to play!

 

[Cloyster]

Without me reading them all, quick, any comments about the dialogue system?

"A vast and frequently brilliant return to Bethesda's atomic sandbox, but constant technical issues are a frustration."​

"Your reaction to Fallout 4 will depend greatly on your expectations. If you're a fan of the series - or at least Bethesda's rebooted first-person take on it - then you'll find everything you wanted, and more. If you despair of Bethesda's creaking game engine, with its frequent glitches, stutters and occasional fatal crashes, then you'll also find everything you feared."​

I guess time will tell how bad it is and whether this is just Bethesda getting an easy ride again.

I wish New Vegas got this kind of shackled criticism.

I hadn't seen ACG until his superb AC: Syndicate review, but he's been immediately become one of my favourite reviewers. I'm watching his Tomb Raider review at the moment, and it's fantastic. Off to watch FO4 next!

Also, Jim's site has crashed. I wanted to read that 9.5 for myself!

 

[JacksUsername]

Great review scores so far! I was on the fence about keeping my pre-order, but now will definitely stick with it.

 

[hwy_61]

Destructoid

At this point, you're probably aware of Bethesda's history with shipping buggy open-world games by now. If you were hoping that somehow a generational leap would magically buck that trend, prepare to be disappointed. Nearly every classic glitch is accounted for, including occasional save data issues, repeated dialogue, frameskipping, severe frame-rate drops, pop-in, falling through the floor, and so on.

Goddamn it.

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

And they said, "Locked 30 fps"

Do reviewers just ignore the technical side of these aaa games? They are giving 9s out like it's nothing.

This is from Sterling's review



I don't like it

That sounds awful.

 

[old manatee]

I notice you left out that destructoid review.

 

[Scrawnton]

I love how GAF has an agenda for this game to fail and most will disregard the great scores this game is getting.
