Places your bets: Fallout 4 Metascore

[upwardlymobile]

probably better than 30% of BIDF would make excuses for bethesda even if the game made your computer explode a la stuxnet

If it turns out to be Arkham Knight levels of bad optimization, expect a lot of threads in the Steam community page from Bethtards spewing anecdotal BS about since they're not having any issue with the game, therefore the problem doesn't actually exist and people are just exaggerating.

"You don't have 16 gigs of ram and 12 gig of vram in 2015? LMAO no wonder you have problems."

 

[DramaticPopcorn]

Both userscore and critic score will be in mid 90s until after christmas. Guaranteed.

 

[Cyberarmy]

101?

 

[Belegarsson]

I'd love it to get any score below 84 just for what they did with Obsidian, but that seems impossible though.

 

[Fairfax]

Poll closed, half an hour left till the embargo is lifted.

 

[Volrath]

Trending towards 95+

Trending towards 95+

Sure looks that way.
I shouldn't have expected anything else after that truly unprecedented marketing push, but there was this small part of me that expected Fallout 4 to be this year's Destiny after all those dreadful-looking leaks.

96-100

 

[Fairfax]

Currently at 90 on OpenCritic.
Metacritic uses a weighted average giving more weight to the most popular sites, all of which gave it very high scores, so I'd say it's trending towards 90-93.

From Jim Sterling:

All that, and not a single microtransaction in sight, despite the game being easily structured for such a horrible business practice to slide right in. That is impressive.

Bethesda are now defenders of customer rights and bright beacon for games industry, you should fell obliged to buy this game just to support publishers that respect their audience if nothing else!:D

gamestar gave a 87 score, maybe others will follow?

they are recommending using gamepad for better controls, even on pc

Destrutoid recent common sense (75 for Fall Out 4 and 90 for AoD) is fucking with my 96-100 bet

Dont worry, that is why we have perfect scores like this one to balance it out

Of course, the thing you’ll notice right away is that you don’t have to rely on V.A.T.S anymore. Much like how the top-down camera in Dragon Age: Inquisition is entirely optional, Bethesda has revamped combat to the point where you can totally play Fallout 4 like a traditional shooter, with V.A.T.S. simply being icing on the cake. Whether it’s in first-person, third-person or done entirely through the V.A.T.S. menu, you can kill Super Mutants and Protectrons in any manner you please. This couldn’t be more of a treat for someone who, admittedly, isn’t the biggest fan of how Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas felt mechanically. Fallout 4‘s shooting feels a bit looser than that of the Bioshock games, which is perfectly acceptable for an open-world title this deep and robust. If you’re the type of gamer who doesn’t like to employ menu-based combat in a live-action game, then it’s absolutely time for you to jump on the Fallout bandwagon.

A "traditional" popamole shooter..

Two away from my 89, c'mon people! Someone admit it's not quite perfect and I'll have this!

It's 89 on PC if it matters to you. I hoped to see it hover around ~80 but IGN had to do what they always do with AAA titles.

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

If it settles at 89% on any of the three I consider it a win. If all three align for a Tilt I'm off to Disney World to piss on Cinderella's Castle.

 

[Adon]

Goes to show you the type of scrubs these people are when they mention not having to rely on V.A.T.S. anymore when you never really had to, at least on NV.

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

They didn't have to rely on it in 3, either. It was a free power up and many couldn't resist.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee! C'mon, c'mon it's so close I can taste it.



Blech, radroaches. Filthy creatures.

 

[Fairfax]

OpenCritic is steady at 89.

When can we expect a Codex review ?
