This is the first silent hunter game I've played since the original in 1996. Love that one and this one is wonderful to play in 2020. There are a few minor issues but nothing game breaking. Wanted to check out the earlier editions but just couldn't bring myself to play as the axis.

I had almost lost hope that a company could make a compelling game in this day of micro-transactions but Obsidian does a AA game that has delivered so much more than the latest batch of AAA games.

I don't know how it is possible for EA to release a worse game every year but some how they manage. This is an embarrassment to the NFL and if they are willing to keep letting EA damage their reputation with their exclusivity deal, then it be on their heads.

This game is what I expected out of the Fallout franchise. It is an engaging, well thought out RPG. The skill trees and the game mechanics are wonderful. Is it a perfect game? No but it exceeds all of my expectations. The most important aspect of the game is that I look forward to playing. It doesn't feel like a chore or a job and that is important with my limited time. I didn't fully appreciate just how good this title was until I played that garbage Fallout 76. It is hard to imagine that the same people produced such wildly different quality games.

This game had a lot of potential but that is where it stopped. To be fair, the graphics are beautiful but I didn't pay $60 to look at a pig with lipstick. The forced PvP is bad enough but to lock private servers behind a pay wall is simply a money grab directed at the core audience of the Fallout series. Here we are, two years after release, and they still haven't produced the game that was originally advertised. At a minimum it is false advertising and what it feels like is complete incompetence. This is the longest Beta release in Bethesda history...wait, not that is Skyrim but that is another story. Between the game breaking bugs, the griefers, and the out of control monetization for things that should simply be included indicate that their only goal for this "game" is to milk as much money out of people without actually providing what they sold. Sorry Bethesda, I wanted so much to love this game but you have overtaken EA as the worst publisher. Monetization is one thing but trying to monetize an incomplete game and then trying to sell the fixes as "new features" is disgusting.
