It's hard to add anything more than what's already said in the thousands of positive reviews for this game. So I'll focus on three positives and three negatives that stood out the most for me:

1. The Crafting System: I'm obsessed with building up every settlement. I'm obsessed with designing it the way I think it would look if it were real. And I'm even more obsessed with getting them to over 80% happiness and as large as humanly possible. (A Skyscraper for each settlement!)

2. Guns Don't Break!; Remember in Fallout 3 or New Vegas, when you would always need to store or carry around the same gun with you? Or carry around repair kits to fix your guns when they would become worn out? You'd be surprised how little of a burden exists in Fallout 4 when it comes to carrying whatever gun you want.

3. No Karma; Yeh that's no Karma System which a lot of fans were upset about, but it's fun to not worry about what your actions will do when you are hanging out in other settlements or towns. The less I have to worry about the better.

Now for the three negatives

1. Bugs; It's Bethesda so don't be surprised when companions get stuck in the floor, or you can't figure out why a settlement isn't happy or the game just crashes for no reason. You'd think they would QA their games better, but whatever man it's Bethesda.

2. No Co-Op; How cool would it be if there were drop in co-op like Saints Row? Why is that such hard thing to add to Fallout? I would love for my friends to check out some of the settlements I made.

3. Next-Gen Graphics- not really. It's engine looks old but it makes up for it for being really colorful and dynamic.

Overall: It's Fallout alright, and it takes place in my home town. It would be nice if the engine was a bit more stable and a little more pretty but it's everything i was hoping it to be and more. The crafting system is addicting as hell. And the mod community rules. Here's hoping there's DLC or a New Vegas-like game in the future.

Edit: One more thing. I find it hilarious all of the gamers "Not Recommending" this game for others but yet they've spent 100-200 hours playing it? At what point do you decide to not recommend it but are still overly obsessed with spending that much time playing?

All are valid points. However, I like the bugs (minus the crashing). To me that's part of what makes a Bethesda game a Bethesda game.
