Can someone tell me the good and the bad sides for Fall Out 4 , may grab it tomorrow but wanna know if its worth it or not , thanks :)

 
Have played it a little over 6 hours.. 

Plays great, looks great and has some nice features like base building.. Also the dog's handy..

i have 0 regrets buying it so far.

 
Yea its pretty good, but end of the day its pretty expensive tho. 

 
If your a hardcore fallout fan, as in the previous ones, they you will be disappointinted to a.. slight line.

As i did.

I wont spoil much, but the dialogue options are awful, and the PC port is currently unstable to most of the player base, i got infected today with crashes and graphical glitches, (yesterday was fine)

So, it's like they made this game purely for consoles, so want to buy it? Go for console. 

Im waiting for a patch :(  

It's like the console world held the true potential of this game back unfortunately.

Finished the main questline already and cannot fault it personally, and I'm an avid fallout/bethesda fan. Great game in my opinion!

 
Cons: Graphics on Ultra are about same as Xbox360 with extended view distance and god rays so many god rays!, POV is set super small like 50-60 and have to play around in the game files to get any kinda view at playable size, The port from console to PC shows extremely badly near unplayable without my Xbox controller, The dialog is poor, the protaganist back story is weak and I hardly cared about them nor the story. They taken the RP out of the game, its more a FPS with RPG elements. Its expensive... for the content thats in game now. They doing what all games now and going to have 2-4 addon packs that cost money.

Pros for the game: AI is pretty reasonable getting flanked and even cover usage is nice,  Base building is pretty fun, I think out of the time I played 60-70% of it has been about building bases, The sounds in the world are nice like radio stations, the rumbles and crumbles of a nuked world. I'm trying hard to find anything good to say.. and that painful.

This game Sound 8/10,

 Game-play 5/10,

Basebuilding 8/10,

RP/story line 4/10,

Graphics, 5/10,

Overall 5/10,   They messed it up, as with so many games, I get caught up in hype with... Buy it on Xbone or PS4 if you want the game or Play FO:NV or FO3 / buy this game and wait for modders to start with it.

See I'm not knocking your judgement, but I play on a PC with mouse & Keyboard, and I haven't had a single one of these issues.

 
My main issue is basically where you cannot fully see what your character will say anymore, so sometimes you get into something you don't really want to do.

I have not yet met any issues with crashes YET, yet based off everyone else's comments, I recon I will come into some sort of crash later.

I do not see why this is under Member Support for the Altis Server though, so moved.

Great optimized. running 30 fps on High with my 660 so thats good.

Also basebuilding is freeking awesome and the dog is awesome aswell.

Only stay away from Ghouls and Deathclaws they're OP.

 
my dogs wearing welding goggles and a red bandana...what more do you want from a game

I bought it and a bit disappointed for some reason i am locked on 30 FPS with a good computer on Ultra and High. As well as the graphics are a bit disappointing. I love the fighting with gun whipping etc , i don find that very cool.

I think its locked on 30 FPS haha. On high and ultra i only get 30 FSP. With a 970

 
It's a good game but it doesn't match up to FO3 or NV but I'm enjoying it so far and without any kind of crashes, glitches or errors. I'm running it on Ultra with 50 - 60 FPS on a graphics card I'm too embarrassed to put in this post. The dialogue options you're given are poor at best and feel very Mass Effect 2-esque but I've spent 27 hours (Yeah I know, not very long) doing nothing but exploring and blowing people up.

It did take a few hours for me to adjust to the changes as it is a PC port but I'm having no issues with using a keyboard and mouse now and I'm enjoying it more now that I've played it long enough to adjust.

Deathclaws aren't as bad as they used to be but still deadly, admittedly the first one I encountered I ended up running out of all the ammo and spent 30 - 40 minutes smacking it in the face many times with a Security Baton until it died.

Ghouls are actually a challenge now and can cause you to panic at times rather than in previous games where they ran at you, usually one by one, swung an arm or two at you, growled/rawr'd and did very little damage to you before you explode their head with a shotgun. 

The Settlements look like they could be fun but I've only dabbled with them a little as I feel as if they could become a nuisance over time when you're trying to get something important done only to get a notification that one of your settlements is being attacked. No doubt someone will prove me wrong on this point but I'd rather see the sights and surroundings rather than building a house or three at such an early stage of the game.

Oh and also try and get it cheap, it's not worth the price it's going at now and especially with the impending DLC inbound.

FPS are not limited in any way except for the consoles. As long as you're playing it on PC you should be fine. If not, here's an easy way to remove the fps cap.

""C:\Users\(Yourname/whatever)\Documents\my games\Fallout4""Edit Fallout4Prefs.ini, now change iPresentInterval=1 to iPresentInterval=0
