Adjust your expectations, boys and girls. But if you're expecting something revolutionary? You're going to be disappointed.
So if you loved Fallout 3 and Fallout NV, there's a lot to love here. The combat is much improved, the story is interesting, the NPC companions engaging, but at its core it's just more Fallout. Fallout 4 is a good game, don't get me wrong. I think the problem is that, once again, people bought into the hype machine.
I've been lucky enough not to encounter any hard crashes or major glitches, but as with all of Bethesda's big open world games, the edges are a bit rough and ready in places.

I'm having a ball in it, meanwhile message boards are drowning in pure, unadulterated BILE, not just from PC users but all across the board.

I genuinely don't understand the hate being leveled at Fallout 4 right now. Less fantasy/wizard/unicorn nonsense and ye olde tavern crap. I personally enjoy a game world more closely related to the real world. It offers a longer RPG experience (if you play survival difficulty and utilize base building properly), sandbox elements, a lot more personalisation of the main character, more influence over the game world, and the opportunity to kill raiders with teddy bears. But I think Fallout 4 offers some things that the Witcher doesn't. People are judging this game harshly because of the grandness of the Witcher 3.

And the sandbox elements (with some mod tweaks) are excellent, and really do add something to the fallout world that was missing in previous games. Those complaining about a lack of RP depth, I feel your pain, but I really do believe the perk system can be built upon in the future, by modders or Bethesda themselves. Fallout 4 is a beautifully constructed environment. Graphics wingers can get stuffed as far as I'm concerned. Those who are complaining about graphics need to remember that this is an RPG. and I really think they should have made survival mode a locked in option at the start of the game (like in fallout NV) and give the player some reward (like an exclusive and fun perk) to encourage them to play a version of the game that actually requires strategy and knowledge of the various enemies. A mod to bring more depth to the perk system would make this game truly fly. Loving this game now, mainly due to the new sandbox elements that have not been present in previous fallout games, and a few mod tweaks to make the game more challenging, but not tediously so.
