I really enjoy Fallout 4. It’s got problems but I think Bethesda did a good job taking the honestly kinda bad Fallout 3 and turning it into a far better Bethesda open world.
Fallout 3 is too tied to the Fallout IP in ways that are detrimental. They keep a lot of the Fallout style RPG elements but… Do so in a way that is really bad as a fallout rpg and doesn’t make for an interesting Bethesda open world. So it ends up being kinda just bad.
Fallout 4 takes the game in its own direction and really improves on the gameplay itself. Exploring, looting, crafting, and building, all work really well together and make a just really fun game to play around in.
Most of its flaws come from once again, being too tied to the fallout IP. Significantly less so than 3 though. Also I don’t mean that if they just renamed it, it’d be better. If it wasn’t a fallout game, and wasn’t trying to keep a lot of the design and baggage that series has, it probably could’ve been far better.
New vegas is a better mesh of classic fallout CRPG with the Bethesda style. Fallout 4 is a really damn good open world sandbox.
i give 3 a pass because it pretty much had to write the groundwork for how fallout would be approached in the future. that and without it, we wouldnt have new vegas. or wed have the cancelled fallout 3 but then the ncr would have been nuked

I think I agree with all of this. Good take
