Fallout 4 (PS4)

Product Information

Everything you've heard is true, from the dumbed-down mechanics to the awful story with all its nonsensical plot twists, I really do feel like I don't really have to point out every issue here, all FO4's problems are self apparent and have been talked to death already, what I'll say though is that the main saving grace for this sorry excuse of a Fallout entry is the gameplay loop, credit where credit is due what they came up with is quite addictive indeed, I only wished that everything surrounding it wasn't the gaming equivalent of Tofu. Any companion present besides Dogmeat will react to certain player actions in one of four ways (love, like, dislike, or hate), which either raises or lowers their "affinity". This game does not dissapoint with the freedom to explore the post apocalyptic landscapes which are detailed in depth. Unlike the previous titles, Fallout 4 's story begins on the day the bombs dropped: October 23, 2077.

GameSpot's Peter Brown awarded it a score of 9 out of 10, saying " Fallout 4 is an argument for substance over style, and an excellent addition to the revered open-world series. With all the latest gameplay updates (including Survival mode), graphical enhancements the ability to play Mods for free on PC and consoles, plus all official add-ons included, this is the ultimate way to experience the award-winning post-nuclear. Power Armor has been redesigned to be more like a vehicle than an equipable suit of armor, requiring fusion cores and being essentially dead weight without it [4] and can be modified, allowing the player to add items such as a jetpack or selecting separate types of armor for each part of the suit. The updated Creation Engine allows for a more advanced character creation system, which uses sculpting—forgoing the series of sliders present in previous games. The other six possible companions are Cait (Katy Townsend), an Irish-accented cage fighter; Curie (Sophie Simone Cortina), a robot scientist turned Synth; Danse ( Peter Jessop), a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin; MacCready ( Matthew Mercer), a mercenary; Strong ( Sean Schemmel), a human-sympathetic Super Mutant; and X6-88 (David Paluck), an Institute Courser.VATS is still there, and still very useful once the player has leveled up a bit, but when in corridors or locations with a lot of cover, I would have to move around and try to flank enemies in real-time. In Howard's words, "you are free to walk away anytime if you want, or you can even shoot him in the face. Impressive like fallout 3 and Oblivion, exquisite narrative, which is the engine that moves the whole game and makes it a thrilling experience.

It is the fourth main game in the Fallout series and was released worldwide on November 10, 2015, for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. Fallout 4 is a 2015 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. After the Survivor retrieves a chip and decodes it with the help of the Railroad, Virgil provides the blueprints for a teleportation device, which the Sole Survivor constructs by allying with the Brotherhood of Steel, Minutemen, or Railroad. With regards to the aforementioned fluid animations, the updated engine also allows a much more open approach to conversations with NPCs—wherein the camera views can change depending on the player's preference from a first-person view to a cinematic third-person view—compared to Fallout 3 's rigid and instanced conversation system.Meanwhile, development on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had Bethesda's full attention, and after that game released in 2011, the studio continued to regularly support it until 2013 with updates and DLC. Unlike the previous games where it felt more like armor I could equip, Power Armor in Fallout 4 feels more like a mobile tank or vehicle I could use.

Fans of Fallout 3 will notice one big improvement to the combat – the real-time shooting is actually viable and works well this time around. Fallout 4 received "generally favorable" reviews on all three platforms according to review aggregator Metacritic.
