What's new

Fallout 4

The games tend to have a few glitches and bugs but reviewers show some leniency just because there is an appreciation that no other developer makes games on the same scale.

The Witcher 3 for example broke the game down into three separate maps.

I find the fan fare over the Metal Gear franchise quite pretentious personally and the story line is a ridiculous mess that new comers have no hopes of wrapping their head around.

All three games will win their share of GOTY awards though although personally I think they should all nominate Rocket League.

I don't think bugs should bring a score down as long as they are patched quickly. Bugs are impossible to avoid in massive open-world games but if a developer, such as CD Project Red or Bethesda fixes them then it's fine. Skyrim was very dodgy on PS3 at launch but fixed soon after.

I'm not a huge fan of MGS - I only think it will win GOTY awards because everyone has said it's amazing. Fallout 4 reviews haven't been as good as Witcher 3, MGS or even Rise of the Tomb Raider out the same day, but it will win plenty of awards because of the hype, and because it's different.

2015 has been a hugely successful year for gaming, much better than 2014. Any of Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Star Wars Battlefront, Metal Gear Solid, Batman Arkham Knight and even Dying Light/Just Cause 3/Tomb Raider/Bloodborne would have dominated last year.

Rocket League is a good shout - I just want that to come to Xbox.  :sad:

 
Good reviews, I'm so tempted to stay up until midnight to play half an hour, but I know I'll then be up until about 5am.....

 
Quick review, with spoilers...

I'm still not asleep yet. 

Very delighted with my random killings so far.

What I think of this game after nearly 6 hours of gameplay.

So last night was a bad idea. Clicking start up at 12, my plan was a quick half hour then bed. So, did the intro stuff, character creation, wandered the vault, got out and saved. Right, bed, it's 1ish so I'm ok, won't be too knackered tomorrow. Little girl was up coughing and puking all night so I got about 10 minutes sleep ha ha, great timing. Not gonna stop me playing until 1 tonight though.

 
Tracking my order which is currently with DPD, it's about half hour away. 

The wife is threatened with punishment of death if she leaves the house before it gets there. 

 
With the character building system, is it possible to achieve 10 (or whatever the maximum is) on each of the abilities if you play it long enough?

Yeah there is no level cap, whether you actually sink enough hours in to the game to fully level up is another question.

Yup, it's possible.

There's no level cap in this game.
