Current Events > Should I buy Fallout 4?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Maybe I should get on this trend of playing the most recent Fallout game due to the show.

Is it worth it?

I might can find a used copy for about $15 on the PS4

Yeah its amazing (inb4 some nerd tries to tell you no because of New Vegas or something)

It's a decent enough game especially if you're not familiar with the rest of the games. Be prepared for bugs and shoddy performance though especially on consoles

if you've never played a fallout before, then yeah for sure, it's a good intro for modern players into the series. it's different than the other games, it's loaded with scripted sequences and dialogue unlike any other, so it's more of a 'on rails' experience. but it's still fallout.

if you're looking for something more open and less linear with more choices and outcomes, then 3 and NV are for you. but they're also older, crash often, and mods undoubtedly make them better (but could be a hassle to install).

76 gets a bad rap but it's actually a pretty good game now and you can actually play with friends or other people so that's a bonus. there are a lot of quality of life improvements to the overall systems and it's more like 3 and less like 4 in many ways.

shelter is also fun but an entirely different genre and plays absolutely differently. but the lore is still mostly there so it's nice to be in that world in a different way.

also 1 and 2 are great for what they are but they're very old and the systems and gameplay are very outdated. if you're into older isometric games then you'll be right at home, but if you're not, then they can take a while to figure out. fantastic games though, once you get the hang of it. same with tactics but most people don't even bother (i loved it but it requires a lot more strategy).

Survival mode is pretty cool

If it's $15 with all of the dlc then that's a good price it most likely won't get cheaper than that.

Yeah it's pretty good

the GOTY edition is usually on sale on Steam, PSN or whatever digital game store of your choice at a reasonable price.

Probably the second worst Fallout game.

i think it's pretty fun.

It's a fun shooter-based action RPG. If you compare to traditional PCRPGs, or the writing of an Obsidian game, you may end up angry and/or throwing feces around the room. YMMV.

i've spent most of the time exploring the Wastelands rather than doing the main quest.

sorry kid, you gonna have to wait longer! >_>
