Fallout 4. Modder's paradise, a batch of potential, and Bethesda's biggest game next to Skyrim. Obviously, it holds a special place near and dear to the hearts of many of us on this channel, but how does it fare in 2022? As we continue to roll back the clock weekly on all these games, it's time to see if Fallout 4 is the fine wine we imagine it to be.

[@StoneAgeWarfare]

Despite Fallout 4's flaws, I am utterly shocked at how the settlements and endgame legendary grind breathes some life into subsequent playthroughs. I know the Workshop DLC's get a bad rap but they truly feel like they expand the game's creativity factor. For a game with survival adventure game type crafting that is a pretty big plus to me. Just hope they learned not to remove skills and skill checks. Fingers crossed for the RPG elements in Starfield.

[@samd2013]

On my replays of this game on survival mode, settlement building is even more satisfying and rewarding. Creating little safe havens across the map where you can save your game and replenish your resources is incredibly awesome.

[@corymitchell902]

I loved how fallout 4 handled power armor mechanics-wise but just how common they were ruined it for me. The mod "Some Assembly Required" is how I think they should have approached it. You find the frame first and then find various pieces of armor throughout your playthrough until eventually you have a full armor set and can play as a legit tank. The fact that you get a full armor set within the first 30 min of the game was a major blunder imo.

[@Hot_Soupp]

For sure. The way you're describing it is much more in line with what I enjoy in good RPGs: giving you a small taste of some interesting shit early that you can't yet access because you're too puny and green. But now you know it's there, and so you indirectly are given something to work your way towards achieving *if you want to*. I can see why Bethesda did it the way they did, though. It's an early game hook to get people excited, and they probably did it to appeal to a wider audience. But I personally was not a fan. Thanks for the mod recommendation. I never finished FO4 and have been thinking about trying again. I'll be sure to add it to the list.

[@DrkStorm1]

FO4 was a pretty good game and i enjoyed exploring. The combat certainly improved. It failed epically as an rpg and lacked what i expect in a Fallout game however. I was hoping they would build off FO3 and the greatness of NV(obsidian i know). Instead they dumbed down the rpg elements. Even Skyrim was barely an rpg and i'm being kind. FO4 just lacked the magic of 3 and NV. I really hope they put the rpg back in upcoming Starfield.

Define what is an RPG.

[@DrkStorm1]

@@eaglegolden8326 Biggest thing for ME that defines an rpg is choice and consequence within the game that effects the story and ending. Fo4 had some of that but it was more of an rpg lite(as are many games labeled rpg) for me. The dialog system was a miss as well. It was a good game but just not what i was looking for in a fallout game.

[@eaglegolden8326]

@@DrkStorm1 Even Fallout 4 is more an RPG than 90% of RPG games in the industry cause we have choices, a less linear story, JRPG don't give often a possibility to choice things, and even without choice in the story the moment you can embody the character you want in a universe u can evolve its an RPG. RPGs are a wide range of things, of which everyone can find something that corresponds to at least one element of RPG.

[@KingInfernagon]

@@eaglegolden8326 the definition of an RPG isn't the point. Its nowhere close to what you're trying to define towards his point. His point was that as a sequel to Fallout 3 and especially New Vegas, its expected that the RPG elements and mechanics would evolve, not downgrade. Fallout's main selling point other than its post-apocalyptic setting is its diverse and wide array of dialogue choices. Fallout 4's dialogue system is objectively inferior compared to earlier titles for obvious reasons. Again, you're far from the point. RPG elements and mechanics vary but its obvious the reasoning was in regards to a downgraded version of a certain mechanic rather than it being an "RPG than 90% of the RPG games in the industry"

Knowing every inch of the Commonwealth & DLC's never deters me from playing again as Modding'the'sh*t'out've'it in so many ways makes it so repeatable.

Honestly Matty Fallout 4 was really good and I think that people were desperate to hate it. At the time I probably would have said it's almost perfect as well, the biggest thing I didn't like was the overemphasis on base-building but other than that it was fantastic.

[@distilledfour25]

I dont think people were desperate to hate it at all it removed a ton of things that people loved and added some okay to just bad things. people who are very role play heavy the voiced protagonist was horrible for people who liked options and choices in dialogue like matty says ruined it for alot of people and since the voiced protagonist is tied to the story it was also dragged down alot for them. They changed it from an rpg focused game to a sandbox focused game which bethesda seems to be course correcting with starfield. Fallout 4 was what i believe was a decline in quality compaired its predecessors i used to think fallout 4 was a really good game before someone asked me how many times i actually replayed the main story which was well none i didnt care to beat it more then once unlike 3 where ive replayed it 6 or 7 times. And new vegas which ive replayed at least 10 to 12 times. I do like how they returned to normal on the botherhood and left the enclave alone the institute was a great idea aswell but my god the rettcons to lore was also annoying. Its not a good fallout game in the stanard of rpg but its a pretty solid shooter and sandbox so to sum up. A lot of people didnt enjoy the changes that were tied to the story aka dialogue settlement system and perks. as it made the game less of the rpg that fallout was known for. Others like me were annoyed by the rettcons just for the "cool" factor or ideas that they had just fell short even though they were good ideas to begin with like the settlement system was good removing most towns to make space for settlements less so.

No game has ever had me so hooked, no game has ever made my imagination just go absolutely wild like Fallout 4 did.

I had the exact same experience as you but with fallout 3 in 2008 back when I was 14. How time flys

[@ghost-user559]

Same but Morrowind in like 2002/3

[@Samual_33]

@@ghost-user559 i bet that was a great time bro, I'm still trying to wrap my head around morrowind about 3 hours in I have it in openmw on my phone. It seems Bethesda went more streamlined in there Tes releases after morrowind I didn't find oblivion or skyrim to be as indepth rpg-wise

[@ghost-user559]

@@Samual_33 Yeah I just reinstalled it after like a decade not playing with Open MW on my old laptop too. It’s WAY more stable than modern Bethesda titles especially on the Open MW engine. I haven’t crashed a single time. It’s probably one of the deepest RPG experiences I have ever seen done. I still remember the first time someone told me it was a game where you could literally just do whatever you want, and you didn’t have to automatically choose a good guy or a bad guy. And you didn’t have to play a specific character the game gave you, it was your own decision to be the hero or the villain. Compared to most rpg like final fantasy or something where you have to play the character they give you, it was a whole new thing. It definitely takes getting used to the mechanics though. It’s more like Dungeons and Dragons with dice rolls for combat. And because it’s all text based it’s more like reading an amazing novel than it is playing a game. I like to just zone out and go deep into the lore and role playing. Plus using text let them make the story so much deeper because of the money it costs to voice a thousand characters, the later games got better looking and sleeker but they lost that world building. Each game got less deep, and less interesting. Morrowind is truly a one of a kind experience. Part exploration, RPG dice rolls, but real time combat. I don’t know of any RPG that did it like that to this day. Skyrim is more like an action game in comparison, and Oblivion was actually even bigger than Skyrim, and had way better quests, but Oblivion suffers from some sloppy gameplay and leveling choices. Still a way deeper and more immersive game than vanilla Skyrim. However Skyrim with mods is truly another masterpiece. Skyrim without mods is the best looking and most exciting gameplay overall, but actually Oblivion and Morrowind are still way better games. I never even really played the main quest in any Bethesda game after the first few play throughs either. Something about just exploring and role playing in those worlds is better than anything I have come across in any other franchise. Fallout 3 was great, and I never played Fallout 4, but the Elder Scrolls was my favorite franchise ever made. Truly a role playing masterpiece. Just the right combination of role playing and gameplay, but you really get the choice to just play however you want. You can sink a thousand hours and never touch a main quest line and still it beats most modern RPGs. What kind of character build did you go for on your recent playthrough?

[@SynthLizard8]

As cool as the intro was, it's the most insufferable and long-winded, it pretty much murders any head-cannon you had for your character, was X before the war and had the personality of X? well you are a loving spouse that desperately wants to find their child which the game built Diamond city mainly for that purpose from the moment you try to enter, to the moment you set off with Valentine. You are also softly tied in to using the Power Armor and settlement system with the world around you facilitated just for that, that's what the fusion cores are for unless you want access to the populated vault or using the gatling laser. Of course who can forget the Dialogue system which got absolutely butchered due to the voiced dialogue, removing the 2 key essential ingredients of Fallout, it's like cake without the sugar or filling. This severe disapointment on top of humiliation that is Fallout 76 is what killed my love of the franchise for me and has almost animosity towards Starfield out of sheer spite.

[@kgfire247]

I'm never not playing Fallout 4... whatever other games I'm playing, I always have a Fallout 4 playthrough on the go at the same time

I always found fallout 4 to be a better fallout 3

[@Zarcaster]

Gameplay wise yeah, that's all that matters.

[@samd2013]

I agree, but I love FO3 too. But I enjoy 4 a lot more.

[@mvd3338698]

I still play fallout 4 and absolutely still love it and enjoy it very much ,now playing with mods and loving it even more!!!!

[@YorkGod1]

I'd love to play Fallout 4 properly, but after 7years the game crashes: Boston area, More than 4 NPCs in a fire fight, Using the Workenches, Any sudden abrupt movements, Buy from Vendors, etc I hope this 2023 Update comes ASAP! I wont be buying Starfield until I can play Fallout 4 all the way through without game breaking crashes!

[@ronnoc841]

i enjoy fo4 a ton. the modding community is amazing. I recommend Sim Settlements 2 for every playthrough

[@RepentInReprise]

DUDE! That intro got me so hype with the music! I was actually going to say Brittany Spears lmao (David Beauregard did a GREAT job emulating her music!).

[@Nullybk]

100% one of my favorite games of all time my 2nd favorite in the series behind New Vegas

[@yupperdude1]

It gets a lot of hate but man, I’ve sunk a toooon of hours into it and it has stood the test of time.

[@Lockitvolt]

Ok I have a funny story. The first fallout game I purchased was fallout 4 but after leaving the vault I was too scared of continuing because of the monsters and horrors in the wasteland so I stopped playing. A year later I purchased a little game called fallout new vagas, my friend really thought I would like this game more so I tried it. Idk why but this quickly became my favorite game of all time, the game was so good I forgot about all my fears of the horror of the wasteland. Should I go back to fallout 4 and re play it?

[@vinniecorleone62]

I was 144 wonderful immersive hours into "Fallout 4" when my back went out & I could no longer sit to play long RPG's so I've really missed my time in it & need to finish the last half of the main missions. A year ago I had a extensive spinal fusion surgery that corrected my inability to sit for long periods again so I'm slowly getting back into longer gaming sessions & "Fallout 4" would be ideal to delve fully back into it after such a long period of torture being unable to game for more than 30 minutes since early 2016.

[@Samual_33]

Good to hear your recovery is better, I hope you get back to fallout full time soon

[@vinniecorleone62]

@@Samual_33 Yes, it's exciting to be able to game again like I did for so many years prior to my first botched back surgery in early 2016, today I have a 7 year backlog of games I've bought hoping to experience someday which is overwhelming. None of us really appreciate the little things like sitting in a car seat for more than 20 minutes or even being able to sit on a couch & play your favorite game, many of us take this for granted.

[@Samual_33]

@@vinniecorleone62 I can completely agree about taking things for granted I've been layed up in bed for 6 weeks with a shattered heel can't work or walk properly took walking for granted. I've had more time for gaming though hahaha. I hope your recovery continues well Vinnie just out of interest which game you playing first?

[@vinniecorleone62]

@@Samual_33 While considering trying to remember the controls for both "Fallout 4" where last week I purchased the 3 story expansions as well as "Mad Max" which I completely restarted on my XB1-X instead of continuing my 5th attempt on my PS4 Pro as a game breaking bug before the 4th patch broke my lengthy playthroughs. I have started playing the Definitive Edition of "GTA Vice City" from the remastered Trilogy now that they have been properly patched, I also just downloaded & started "Stray" on my PS4 Pro & am enjoying it quite a bit while also downloading last week the RPG "Weird West" to start soon & then I have that 7 year backlog of games I bought each year that I know I would enjoy oncecI got to them all. Sorry about your foot my friend, I pray you recover well & can savor some great gaming in the mean time.

[@flipcats]

I did my Fallout 4 walkthrough through Nuka World first and when i came back to the Commonwealth i'm so cracked the game felt so easy to play

[@Ashephalt]

Say what you will about the game, but I had a really great time in my first playthrough before the cracks started to show. It may not be the game I wanted but it was something new and I respect them for trying at least.

[@brunor.m3276]

C'mon Matty... You "tried" it's probably the 200th you played this game only this year lol Jokes aside, I played it too. It's pretty good however it lost it's magic for me , so I went to 76 which I hadn't played before. So far I'm enjoying my time with Fallout 76.

[@lucianwong420]

There are a few things i miss in Fallout 4, but the one thing i miss the most in Fallout 4 is the eerie atmosphere. Boston is great and all, but the Capital Wasteland is truly terrifying.

RIP Dogmeat. This is the first time I think I have been jump scared in one of these videos

[@anonco1907]

Yup was gonna comment about that scrolled through and surprised nobody else mentions it lmao

[@00Mike55]

Fallout 4 was my first Fallout game to be honest, enjoyed the game a lot, the first act of the story was great, building up the mystery and all, but after that act 2 and 3 felt rushed, not as interesting and felt like the game was pushing your decisions instead of you making them. Your partners in crime however, that was truly the highlight of the game, each one had their own quirk about them and felt unique, unlike those you find in Skyrim where everyone feels copy/pasted. Overall, not a bad first experience, I'm excited to try the re makes of Fallout 3 and NV on Fallout 4's engine.

[@nurse1175]

Love the game, play it on pc and series x daily. Love playing where I grew up.

[@nfmjcn2687]

Idk don’t really like watching you sit down and play the game, would rather you just clip and talk about these moments or something. Almost Halfway through the video and you just got out the vault lol. Yeah you didn’t really go over the game?? You got to the power armor and death claw fight… at least go over other key parts of the game?

[@brenzmilne]

I know this will never happen. But Larian studios to do a remake of Fallout 1 and 2 with Divinity Original Sin graphics/gameplay. Or a brand new Fallout isometric game. A man can dream.....sigh

[@ipolarisi2381]

I love this game so much, definitely in my top 5. I actually got 100% achievements on it just a few months ago, can’t wait for FO5

[@divergentlife493]

Thumbs down! Playing on control pad. Like seriously wtf? This is a great game. But this is a game that should be played on a PC. Do not play this game on a console. It is not remotely the same thing. It's a watered down console version. Also, any FPS shooter will be much much better using KBM controls. VATS or no VATS, Fallout is no exception. You should definitely not be using a control pad for this game. Control pads are basically good for platformers and fighting games. Definitely not for this. What a loser. And most definitely by all means, don't play this on a console. You should be investing in a decent PC if you're going to play this game or any similar high end game. And yes even though it came out 7 years ago, it's s till a resource intensive title. And you will never ever get the same experience on any console. In fact, stop buying consoles because it only gives devs more incentive to put focus on them due to being being so prevalent. Consoles fading out = more focus on actually developing the game. Without having to do anything extra for multiple consoles.

Settlement mode hard carries this game to the second spot on my personal list of fallout (yeah yeah I know I know)

The game still sucks as an RPG

[@___Karma__]

The game is so large i still havnt had the time to beat it as i always explored and did many side quests and activities. Going to upgrade my monitor to 1440p this black friday and enjoy the game on higher res soon. Its a great game and thats coming from someone who started on FO1 and 2 back in the 90s. Loved fallout 3 and new vegas. Looking forward the The Outer Worlds 2 in the near future. with a real budget im expecting a great game.

[@UbermanPrime]

F04 is literally unplayable for me on Xbox Series S due to how buggy downtown Lexington is. Even without mods it crashes every couple minutes after hitting 2fps

[@MutantCyborg001]

Ah yes Fallout 4, the most shitty and self destructive fallout game in existence, Fallout 3 was good, New Vegas was perfect, this one just killed the franchise once and for all and F76 just put the nail on the franchice.

[@connybengtsson9304]

I will never understand why the fanbase doesn't love this masterpiece. Fallout New Vegas is also amazing, but both games have so much 10/10 stuff that I don't get the hate

Was it perfect no. Was it like most fallout games? No. Was it a fun Bethesda feeling fps with rpg elements? Absolutely. The game was great to me. Especially far Harbour omg god tier dlc.

Gawl fo4 is ass, fo3 all day everyday bb. I forced myself to beat this game. This game was missing something I cant quite put my finger on. Im not talking about the no choice or consequence thing, besides that something else

[@qjames0077]

You rated a near perfect Bethesda game because you were excited about playing a new Fallout game. Almost purely because of Bethesda, I no longer get hyped about games, I don't preorder them, and if anything I let some time pass before I purchase anything, typically on sale at that.

[@Hurbster2112]

I was generally a bit disappointed with it. I think the voiced protagonist hurt the game quite a bit and the endings just were not that good. As has been mentioned it lost a heck of a lot as a RPG. Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed it, it just didn't seem to be that good of an role-playing experience.

[@wingedhussar1453]

fallout 4 was whack ,got bored of it quick unlike fallout 3 ,which i enjoyed the immersion of it this game broke immersion constantly

[@Zarcaster]

Fallout 4 still has the best E3 presentation from BGS. It's a shame BE3 is not coming back. Shame on you Xbox.

[@thememeilator2633]

When i first played Fallout 4 my only other post apocalypse themed game was Borderlands 2. All of the changes about the roleplaying and all that didn't bother me since it still felt familiar to me when i picked it up, i never played many roleplaying games at the time so player choice wasn't something i thought about in the game

[@shookshibe]

I think that fallout 4 has the strongest art design of any fallout, even over new vegas. It just feels 50-60's si-fi

Didn't live up to NV, but was okay. Interesting story, although could've been better.

Never uninstalled fallout 4 and what keeps me playing is mods. Every new game that's release this year is just boring and I just keep dragging my ass back to fallout 4 due to mods!

Fallout 3 makes me feel good all over. Like you say gettin “cozy” with it. Happens in 3, not so much in 4 but still one of my favourite games on my console. Fallout 3 might be my favourite game of all time. Even though it might not hold up too good today.
