This game sucks.

It didn't always suck as the flaming pile of sh!t it's turned into today, but after years of playing and 2500+ hrs logged into this steaming, frothy pile of whale excrement, the game has become absolutely unplayable. All the enjoyment was painstakingly sapped from the game incrementally through every update over the years, needlessly focusing on things like tradable glove skins, music kits, and monetizing graffiti sprays.

Free-to-Play was the nail in the coffin. I have never seen a game so clearly abandoned by its creators and left to rot as I did loading this piece of sh!t up to play and having every competitive match be filled with newcomers who don't understand or care about the basic fundamentals of a game that's been out for 5 years. Calling out enemy positions? Working the objective? Forget about it, it's a Call of Duty/PUBG cesspool of racking up kills and diluted an already flailing competitive atmosphere. Again this is competitive where this happens, I couldn't care less about casual and private servers.

Never have the endless cheaters spamming walls, aimlocking, or flat out walling ever been given a real thought, Valve decided to give all of them Prime Matchmaking, effectively making Prime a worthless piece of sh!t. Cheaters are given a free pass as Valve continues to rake in their microtransaction $$$ as this game takes one final dying breath as kids throw their parents money into this Sarlac pit of a competitive-FPS game.

To put the cherry on top of this hot steamy turd Valve wants to pretend is a banana-split, the updates for the Danger Zone "battleroyale" bandwagon have broken multiplayer functionality for countless users "remote connection lost", with Valve having zero interest in fixing the issues. This game and it's hellscape development team should be put in a museum as an example of how one of the most innovative game developer companies squandered it's reputation and fell it irrelevancy because they couldn't keep their d!ck's out of the microtransaction hooplah.

Don't waste the storage space to download this game, don't waste the bandwidth and data to download it, just don't. Go play CS:Source instead.

6.5/10

Recommend for those with higher-end PC's who can enjoy the visuals & color that FO4 brings;

[PROS]
-Looks very nice, step up from Bethesdas usual NPC/player model issues
-Community crafting is addicting
-Brotherhood of Steel
-Dogmeat

[CONS]
-Dialogue options suck compared to New Vegas, FO3
-Weapon variety feels limited
-Skill checks don't matter, none of this matters
-Apparently you have a son or something

It's missing the spark that made FO3/NV memorable and outstanding, but still worth a steamsale pickup

Bugged vanilla AI, but easily fixable with proper mods. When ran with Darthmod it's easily 9.5 out 10
