I'm already playing thanks to it being out in Aus. So far I'm sort of impressed. The gameplay is definitely much better than in FO3 and NV. Let's face it, the combat in those games was finicky at best and I can't imagine trying to play them without using VATS. FO4 feels more like a traditional FPS and can easily be played as one, while retaining the VATS system. The new conversation system is pretty annoying and most of the UI is not at all PC-friendly. Even more so than Skyrim. Controls are also all over the place. Alt to power attack instead of holding in LMB, arrow keys for conversation instead of letting you use WASD, unresponsive controls, etc.
We'll see how the RPG elements pan out, seeing as that's what will ultimately make or break the game for me. Not a fan of the removal of skills, though.
Also, it's about as buggy as you can expect a Bethesda game to be. Poorly optimized and prone to frequent CTDs. Luckily I'm not getting any crashes but it seems I'm in the minority on that. I do get sub-optimal frames regardless of settings, though. It feels like a framerate lock, but apparently there isn't one on this game.
This Fallout NV bug makes me laugh every time...
Seems like it might just be a good game
Nerdist gives it "5 RADical Burritos out 5."
PROS
• An open-world masterpiece. Hundreds of hours of great content packed into a large and beautifully designed sandbox.
• Aiming and movement mechanics feel as top tier as, if not better than, the front-runner AAA shooter titles of today.
• Narratives are compelling, robust, and delivered in the most concise fashion as to not interfere with gameplay.
• Crafting system adds creational elements to Fallout, and makes looting a far more meaningful undertaking.
• The most polished and well-rounded Bethesda game to date.
CONS
• I’ve got nothing
And as a counter point, the ArsTechnica review does not paint the game in a good light. Not that I generally use them for game reviews, but I saw the review yesterday when I looked for other articles.Originally Posted by MalicE

What is odd is that there are just as many locations as in the other games, but the map is much smaller. This makes it feel pretty cramped. You'll often have something like 5 locations in a 500 meter radius. Much worse in the cities, where there can be 5 in a 100 meter radius.
Maybe console limitation? I dunno. Would have been nicer if things were a little more spread out. On the plus side, most locations are much better quality.
or maybe it's an attempt to prevent a skyrim situation where travelling becomes exhausting
Could very well be. Also remember that it is a persistant world. Any you change or drop will stay that way and no despawn like a lot of games do so it stands to reason this could be very taxing on memory, could also account for a lot of the microstutter.
Bad news for the retail folks.
Fallout 4 physical disk only has 5GB of data, requires 19GB download
OMG wtf. Why even bother putting anything on the disk when you're only going to put 20% of the files on it? This is the most retarded thing ever.
Yep i would have gotten it digitally if not for the exchange rate. Will install tonight and probably only start playing this weekend.
Good thing i'm still really busy with TW3.
