![]() ![]() ![]() With so many factions at play, saying the wrong thing can have unintended consequences, so not being 100 percent sure how I was about to reply in each situation was frustrating. Shaping the fates of characters, communities, and entire towns (looking at you, Megaton!) is part of what people love about Fallout. A majority of the time I would just hit triangle which amounts to the “more information” button for 90 percent of conversations held (X is “yes,” circle is “no,” and square varies between being “maybe” or “sarcastic,” which should have been called “witty” instead). It was rare that I felt any kind of pressure put on my responses. Fallout 4 opts to assign the four face buttons to “yes,” “no,” “sarcastic,” and a simple question like “why me?” to nearly every conversation. In Fallout 3, the entire response was written out, so you knew exactly what you were choosing to say. This time around, your character has a voice, and while it helps to define your character far more than previous games, it also creates the terribly vague dialogue tree that Fallout 4 suffers from. It’s this incredible beginning that sets the stage for your adventures in the wasteland. ![]() You get to leave the confines of Vault 111 more than 200 years after the bombing, a man (or woman) lost to time. You’ll witness the deception of Vault-Tec. You’ll see the bombs rip the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to shreds. Beginning before the war, you get to see life in 2077. When I say graphics, I am not talking about performance, however, and that is something that I will touch on a little bit later.įallout 4’s story resonates with that part of me that values a family bond. You’ve seen what the graphics look like, so if for some reason those affect your enjoyment of it, knock a few points off that final score, directly proportional to how much visuals impact your satisfaction. It’s about how fun and enjoyable the game is to play. My review is not about whether it looks as good as The Witcher 3 or Metal Gear Solid V. Fallout 4 is engrossing enough that I very quickly stopped focusing on how it looked and was captivated instead by my new life in the wasteland. Sure, they aren’t the greatest we’ve seen on PS4, but the style is uniquely Fallout, and the sheer scope of the game trumps the occasional jaggy texture or goofy character animation. ![]()
