My god…Really? Fallout 4 failed miserably at those too…Building? Redundant, served zero gameplay reason,added nothing to the experience and had no mechanics or roleplaying attached to it. Loot? Awful, just trash or shitty guns with awful 'Legendary' effects…Exploration? Ehhhhhh its decent but pointless given how poor everything else…Nah Bethesdas problems run deep, from the very foundations, and the dumbfuck devs making excuses need a harsh wakeup call.
Settlements add a lot to the experience on Survival difficulty, and that's the only way I play this game. By looting, I mean collecting junk to get components for building and upgrading gear, not getting amazing weapon drops like in Borderlands. Exploration is absolutely top-notch, and Fallout 4's map is easily one of the best-designed in all of gaming.
Kill, loot, build. That's the gameplay loop of Fallout 4. It's not for everyone.
New Vegas is still better.
