Will patches and DLCs fix the fact that it's not Fallout? It's Bethesda so... no. They won't. They already filled their pockets with $$$ so as far as I know this company they will go this way even more - more dumbing down, less RPG, more COD. And mods can't fix everything. I'm happy for people who like this game. But apparently they never wanted Fallout in the first place - just game in that setting.

You should know why it isn't here... Want me to say it out loud? Ok. Game is dumbed down for typical Bethesda fanboy. Everything that could cause any problems was removed - skills that required thinking before taking, different types of ammo, dialogue options that have any consequences, hardcore mode, item degradation and so on... Realy, I can't understand why they made game in post apocalyptic setting and removed everything that has anything to do with survivig in such environment. But, hey... I'm actualy surprised that they left radiation in place.

So... You never wanted Fallout to be RPG? Because right now it isn't. And that's the reason for all the hate. It's FPS in current state. And don't confuse streamlining with dumbing down. Removing skills, perks and traits is dumbing down. Innovation everywhere... yes. Dialogues are joke. I always thought that talking to other characters in RPG is one of the main parts of the game... sorry, I forgot F4 isn't RPG. Sims - Wasteland is definitely innovation. Sorry, but just LOL.

What did they add that is realy an upgrade? Crafting system? It sucks realy. You need to gather everything, every piece of crap which in the end makes single items worthless. No more joy from finding something cool. What else is new? Oh, yes... You can build a village. Truly a necessary thing for a game which was always about... wanderer. In return they removed literally everything that made Fallout such legendary franchise: awesome dialogues, skills, perks and traits, actual wasteland. And that point about changing difficulty... Realy? Changing difficulty makes game RPG?!

Because big magz got payed for good reviews. Read what people are saying. Most popular opinion: game is great because... there are no bugs. Realy? No one is bothered by the fact that it's not RPG anymore? It's FPS with actualy good crafting system and Borderlands-like character progression.

And what if someone hoped for decent (decent, not great, best, 10/10) RPG from Fallout franchise and got horribly ported console game with non existant RPG part in it?

What did you guys expect? Fallout 4 being a lot better than fallout 3? Look at fallout 1 & 2 and compare to fallout 3 & new vegas. What do you think most Fallout 1 & 2 players felt when fallout 3 was released at first? Hate. War probably never changes, but games do. Get over it. For gods sake, enjoy this beautiful masterpiece while you can, and enjoy it even more when mods release. Think positive. Bethesda focused more on the combat, first-person shooter element than the rpg element. Then we have modders who create player-made DLCs, and enhance the rpg element and storyline. I'm currently at 10+ hours and enjoying the game to the max. People have different opinions, that's healthy. Yeah, but most opinions come from players who haven't played the game which leads to more players not wanting to play the game, and decides to join the hate train. It's just ridiculous. What? That's most flawed assumption ever. Hype bandwagon was strong in recent months. Now it will crash into concrete wall. And if my opinion stops anyone from buying this game than I'll be happy. This game is closer to Borderlands than Fallout when it comes to game mechanics. Problem here is simple: Borderlands is FPS - not RPG. And Fallout is supposed to be RPG. And in Fallout 4 with it's terrible dialogues and painfully streamlined character development we don't have basic elements of any RPG. Combat is good, weapon building system is also ok. Change the name and this game would be easily 7/10. As Fallout it barely reaches 5/10.
