Right....game gets 9/10 from critics and 4/10 from players.
But let me tell you in a few words as possible how this game is a massive step backwards in terms of any thing actually.
-Railroaded progression through the world and map early on.
2-SPECIAL Stats are kneecapped in terms of effectiveness
3-Unkillable NPCs
4-Too much shooting, too little quality dialogue or roleplaying. AKA, Borderlands Syndrome.
5-Quests are at least 75% kill quests.
6-No Ron Perlman for the intro/outro videos.
7-Endings have been hacked down to nubs, and showcase no acknowledgement of things you've done outside of one major choice.
8-Skills are gone, which were a staple of the CRPG genre, especially Fallout.
9-Karma is also gone.
10-Dialogue is wretched, and leaves no room for nuance. Speech challenges no longer branch out from Speech alone into Skills.
11-At least 10 Perks are unlocks of things unrelated to your avatar, while the rest are blase percentage increases, sometimes with overlap in some places.
12-Getting Power Armor, something that took time and effort to get in past games, within five minutes of leaving the Vault, and a Minigun.
13-Having Sprint, Grenade and Bash mapped to one button.
14- Glitches out the ass, including installation glitches and PC crash/freeze bugs.
15- Sub-bar and in some cases very ugly textures that it's amazing how can someone say with a straight face that this game looks even ok.
