Completely agree with Yahtzee. Never liked Bethesda RPGs and have no idea why they're so popular. Witcher 3, now that's a great game.

Upvote for the Michael Nesmith reference alone.
Otherwise I disagree completely, I am LOVING this game, even with all it's mentioned minor flaws. It's better than anything else being offered today that I've played.
I mean, did he really just complain that there's just too much game world? What?

I love Elder Scrolls (back to Morrowind), and thought Fallout 3 was very good but not great, but I just cannot get into Fallout 4 at all.

Some of my reasons coincide with Yahtzee here, but a lot are different. It's clunky, the dog does a great job of heroically jumping in my line of fire to take bullets / melee blows for enemies that I am trying to fight, pathfinding is significantly worse than Skyrim (and it was rather poor there), the crafting seems WAY too obsessed with needing 1 or 2 "rare" bits like the screws mentioned in the video that should be in *everything*, etc. etc.

The city building as an upgrade to Hearthfires in Skyrim is pretty cool, but should be a back-burner *optional* thing that encourages you to check it out because it gives cool rewards rather than because the very first set of hobos that you run into want you to do everything for them.

...Take all of that with a grain or three of salt, because I only played for a few days before I got thoroughly annoyed with it and haven't been back since. Skyrim gets new mods that add fun content or make it look *way* better than Fallout 4 does all the time. And I like the setting and lore better, but that is a personal preference. But basically, even after playing through the main story and all of the factions many multiple times each, I still periodically find myself getting interested in another run through Skyrim with a new set of mods. Fallout 4 might get good once the community gets hold of the creation kit for it, but for now I have zero interest in even giving it a more thorough shot to catch my attention.

I'd like to explain what I love about Fallout 4, but I'm too busy spending my limited spare time playing Fallout 4.

FALLOUT 4 (Honest Game Trailers) has been added as a related post - related requested by eric3579.

I loved Oblivion, but more specifically, the Dark Brotherhood quest line. That was solid gold. After I finished that, I didn't go back to it.

I'm too busy punching the snot out of peoples faces in Deus Ex 3.

However, I prefered Skyrim (it's crack) over Fallout (it's a grind) simply for the fact that I can be the bastard child of Palpatine and Conan, shooting lightning out of my hands while wielding big swords. Also, I fatally shot a bear into its asshole twice. I'm quite proud of that. Fuck Bullseye, I'm Brownseye.

I'm quite enjoying it myself, though I've been playing more Just Cause 3 since it came out.

Fallout 4 is mildly better than 3, especially the main story but not nearly as good as New Vegas (talk about dumbed down in comparison) but as other's have said I've always preferred Bethesda's Elder Scroll series.

That said, none of these titles has anything on Witcher 3, the out and out Goty and quite possibly Go/t... century!

I really have enjoyed Fallout 4, but having watched this i'm surprised that i kind of agree with it. I think out of all the quests i've done in the game, a good 90% of them must have been to kill everything in a certain area, sometimes even when i'd already cleared out that area. Mindlessly ferreting away huge amounts of scrap stuff and making trips home just to store it was boring as hell, a better option would have been to let us strip useful stuff out junk and have it weigh less.

It says something for what they've put together when you think that it makes almost all of the critical errors of rpg making and still somehow manages to make me enjoy it. But i think the mistakes it does make takes away from its longevity, i played all the time for a few weeks and now not at all, and i can't quite bring myself to finish any of the main storylines.
