Fallout 4: A fanboy’s op-ed review

287

When I finished Fallout 3, the game had left me with one desire: please let there be another installment soon.

Fallout New Vegas tried to fill the need, but opinions among Fallout fans were split. Some loved “west coast Fallout,” replete with motorcycle gangs, delusional wannabe Romans, and one super-depressed kid named Boxcars. Others hoped for something more evolutionary, something that didn’t just add to the Fallout universe but deeply improved upon it. For that sort of game, fans had to await Fallout 4. So we waited… for more than half a decade. And the wait was indeed worth it.

We’ve already run our review of the new game, but I wanted to offer a slightly different perspective: how Fallout 4 feels to someone who is deeply invested in the Fallout universe. That is, how it feels to a Fallout fanboy—which I’m proud to be. As such, I will look at the game only as it relates to Fallout 3 and to New Vegas, with no regard for how it stacks up to other titles in the RPG genre.
