Best Bethesda game yet

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2016

Platform: PCEdition: Pip-BoyVerified Purchase

I was one of the few to get this before it sold out. From the moment Todd Howard announced the Pip-boy would be included in the game's special edition at 2015's E3 conference, I went straight to Amazon and looked it up. I may have hesitated for a second before smashing the Pre-Order button.

The Pip-boy arrived smaller than advertised. It was advertised to fit the new iPhones, and my HTC One M8 is smaller than the larger of the two new iPhones, but still a little bit too large to fit. Also, the game code activated to my wife's Steam account rather than mine, and did not give me a chance to choose which of the two accounts on the PC it would activate to. It just picked one at random. And when I try to play the game on my side, Steam shakes me down trying to get me to purchase a second copy for my account. Which I may very well do when the price comes down some, but not at full price! (Steam also refused to let me transfer the game license to my own account.)

As for the game itself, it is great. It's really the same loot rat race Bethesda has been churning out since Oblivion, but the replayability is high. I never was a fan of Minecraft and other crafting/building games, but I have a lot of fun building settlements in Fallout 4, which is honestly the meat and potatoes of the game. The story is alright, but with no wrong answers and no bad Karma, it's really about building your trading empire.

I think one thing that gets people on Fallout 4 is, they push the game too hard to get to the end of the story. As desperate as the story tries to push you forward, when you come out of the Vault and you find your neighborhood in ruin, go to the red workbench (it's just about across the street from your home) and activate it. Now clean up your neighborhood. Get rid of all the fallen trees and broken homes. Kill the mutated bugs (ideally, get them to chase you out since their bodies don't go away). Clean up all the trash you can. Then build something. Make it your home again. There are a ton of mods that help with this, on the PC version only for now, but you don't need them. If your neighborhood is too big (and it really is), go across the bridge to the gas station. Kill the mole rats, recruit the dog, and, what I like to do is build an apartment on the roof of the gas station, and then store the ladder, so no NPCs can get up in my little home. But do it how you like. Each home is unique.

A Worthwhile Collector's Edition for the Price

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2015

Platform: PCEdition: Pip-BoyVerified Purchase

This review is primarily a focus on the collector's edition content rather than just a review of Fallout 4. The game itself is great so far, despite the criticism I have been hearing it has been an absolute blast thus far.

As far as collector's editions go for games these days, it's difficult to compare their value. Most of the time it seems collector's editions are not even worth buying for the price. However, considering the lower price tag of $120 for this one I'd say it's definitely worth it.
For only $60 more than the base game alone I don't think that you can really expect too much, but you get a fair amount of cool stuff considering. Most collector's editions now typically run $150+ and come with a statue (See Rise of the Tomb Raider), or hell, look at Halo 5's collector's edition for $250!

While the Pip Boy isn't exactly quality, you're getting what you pay for at this price point. An awesome display case, wearable pip boy, and a steel book for the game itself. Many of the complaints come from the build quality of the pip boy itself. Nevertheless, realistically it's just a toy, best viewed on display rather than worn and used all the time. As a matter of fact, this is really the case with the quality of nearly all collector's editions these days... for any game.
I understand the point is to use it alongside the game but it does serve that purpose as well if you're not too hard on it.
In order to have received a perfect, durable (perhaps metal construction) Pip Boy we probably would have had to pay double the price of this collector's edition. Would that have been better? Maybe, it depends on how you as the consumer wanted to utilize this collector's edition.
At the end of the day, as a fan of the franchise it's a great display piece and I'm happy with it.

Nice Collectible Items, A Game Undeniably Worthy of The Fallout Moniker.

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2015

Platform: PCEdition: Pip-BoyVerified Purchase

Let's get this out of the way first and foremost, this review is for the game and the Pip-Boy, the collection itself, not just one or the other.

After the initial headache of the whole scenario, I can happily say I am pleased with the purchase. I ordered the PC version of the game, and received the Xbox One version of the game itself inside the steelbook. Needless to say I was infuriated. After contacting Amazon support, explaining the legitimate limited condition of the set as a whole, they agreed and successfully deposited $59.99 back to my card as a refund, so I could buy the version of the game I originally purchased.

On to the items included with the Pip-Boy Edition:

The Perk Poster is a nice added bonus, and would fit in great in any collectors or die-hard Fallout fans home. It's made of typical poster material and is shipped folded into the Pip-Boy box.

The Pip-Boy Operation manual is a really nice touch for the "realism" of the Pip-Boy and whatnot. It goes through both lore-based fictional explanations of the uses and operation instructions of the pip-boy, as well as goes through real-world instructions on how to put it on, mount your phone and so on, functional and fun; Nice job.

The steelbook case is very sturdily made and looks great and has a nice collectors design.

The Pip-Boy enclosure/box that everything comes in is very sturdy, made of possibly ABS or some other hard plastic, but made very well. Inside, everything is protected by about an inch of black foam around all sides, save the top. The box is spacious and functional for housing the Pip-Boy itself if you'd rather it not be on display or plan on transporting it. The design is very appealing and lore-based with some of the logo prints emulating some wear on the box.

The RobCo Pip-Boy 3000 stand is a very nice touch, and really brings it's shelf-appeal to the next level. It has a black plastic base, fairly sturdy (certainly enough to withstand holding the Pip-Boy itself without an issue), and clear curved stands with square protrusions that seat in the bottom of the Pip-Boy to hold it in place. The stand feels pretty sturdy, and doesn't feel very cheap, which is nice. The small plaque on the front, labelling the Pip-Boy is also some type of metal, likely aluminum, and will shine in light and looks really nice.

The Pip-Boy 3000 itself is the real draw here, isn't it? The Pip-Boy is the ultimate collector's item for Fallout fans, and any fans of the series will love it, regardless of whether or not they plan to be using it. However, there are some fairly serious issues with it, that I (personally), only dismiss because of the sheer collectible and limited nature of the item. The foam inserts for the arm insertion area are not attached to the Pip-Boy at all. While functional this may be, for dismantling the Pip-Boy itself for whatever reason you may have, it's a bit annoying and causes the whole think to look a bit cheap when the corners of the padding is hanging down a little. The foam arm padding feels nice and is made of some sort of (p)leather-ish foam material. There are two small reddish lights than can be powered using a small power button on the front of the Pip-Boy, powered off of an easily accessible watch-style battery, whose only use, is powering these lights. All knobs on the Pip-Boy perform no functional action, they simply turn and make noise for your enjoyment. Every hinge on the Pip-Boy 3000 is made of metal, which is a very nice attention to detail and functionality, as they would be the first things to go if something were to break.
The Pip-Boy 3000 itself is made of some glossy hard plastic. It doesn't necessarily feel cheap, but it does feel a bit "brittle" or something, but I can't see a reason for it to break during normal use or shelf-sitting.
The phone-holding area is kind of spacious, but honestly, I find the supported phone sizes to be a little disappointing. I own a Motorola Moto X (2nd. Gen), and it would not fit due to being about 2 mm too wide. My only alternative, was to put an old, neglected Motorola Droid Razr Maxx in it instead, which fits, but doesn't fit in any foam inserts, and doesn't allow for any foam underneath. It was legitimately designed with the two most popular phone lines in mind, and not anything else (iPhone and Galaxy). I wouldn't expect your phone to fit in here unless it's small.
Now, when my Pip-Boy arrived I noticed a small rectangular button on the top edge of the device that had been shoved down into the Pip-Boy and looked broken or something. After popping the Pip-Boy open after removing the foam arm inserts, I discovered that part of it's plastic section that held it to the inside of the Pip-Boy had snapped and there was only one screw in it instead of two (likely why it snapped in the first place).

All-in-all, the Pip-Boy 3000 itself really feels like a bit of a cop-out. It's not build as nicely as I had hoped, it doesn't hold modern phone sizes very well (and really only had two phone lines in mind). It really feels like a lot of corners were cut during manufacturing and assembly. Would I buy this if the Pip-Boy were sold separately and weren't a collector's item? No. It isn't worth that. But as I said earlier, I'm only dismissing it's glaring issues because of the sheer collectible and limited nature, otherwise, this wouldn't be worth the extra $60.

GAME REVIEW (PC VERSION ONLY):

Fallout 4 manages to expand on the Fallout universe in some of the best ways I could have imagined. Bethesda Game Studios really out-did themselves with this game. Having been aware that this game would run on the same Creation Engine as Skyrim, I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first, but after seeing the game in person and playing it, I can tell you, don't worry. They took the engine to a whole new level with this game and really shows the expand-ability of it. It feels like Bethesda really tried their best to give us the best textures and graphical enhancements they could with the time they were given, and even then, mods will always be there to add even more to the game world.

The sound, music and general background score for this game is phenomenal, the best of any Bethesda game since Oblivion, I think. Inon Zur did an amazing job with the game's background score and title screen music. The in-game radio music has been a blast to listen to, as always. They have taken some of the best songs from Fallout 3, and New Vegas and added them to this game, and proceeded to add some new songs, never used in a Fallout game before to really give a perfect blend of nostalgia and freshness. They also took the time to ensure that there were no songs like Johnny's Guitar or Big Iron that would essentially play so often it felt like nothing else was in the game. The general sound quality and attention to detail is amazing, every sound feels well designed and placed, so much so, that I often find myself turning off the radio to just listen to the background music and hear the sounds of the Commonwealth wasteland.

While we're talking about sound, let's talk about one of the newest big features to come to Fallout 4, voice acting for the playable character. One actress and one actor spent 2 years of recording working on the voice acting dialog for the character you play as in Fallout 4, the Sole Survivor. It panned out great in the end. Having your character actually verbally respond to the NPC's and have conversations with them and some BioWare-esque dialog scenes with facial movement from your character, really does a great job of immersion and makes you feel at home in your character. They did a great job as well of picking voice actors that could really be an "every-man" or an every-woman", that is, the voice acting really feels like it could fit with any play-style and any character. My only real complaint with the entirety of the games voice acting and dialog, is some of it feels a little poor-quality, or maybe a little too "cheesy" per se, but it's nothing terrible like I've seen in Indie games or anything where the voice actors seem like they've never done voice acting before.

In terms of the main story line of the game (having not completed it), I would say it is a very "Fallout" story, true to the fans and has a great intro that really gets you in the zone and makes you interested in the story and the characters and gives you the desire to know how it all pans out in the end. The side-quests are in the typical Bethesda fashion, nothing extraordinary there. The faction quests are great and there are some really cool new factions with awesome backstories. All-in-all, I think Bethesda is probably going to have outdid themselves with Fallout 4 and it's future DLC in terms of the story it tells and how it tells it.

The gameplay mechanics have been fine-tuned to a point for sure. This is by far one of my most favorite improvements of the game overall. The controls are very smooth and intuitive for the most part (some of the key binding are a tad ridiculous). The NPCs and your characters movements are very realistic and believable, and the AI on the enemies has been improved from the past games for sure. The gun mechanics though, that's where Fallout 4 shines. Bethesda had to have taken a look into some first person shooters for some inspiration because the new gun handling mechanics and the recoil and shooting and everything, is some top-notch stuff that hardly feels like an RPG at all when you're in the middle of a gunfight, or charging at someone with a rocket powered sledgehammer. The new guns are also amazing. There's loads of new weapons to try and loads of new modifications to do to them.

On that note, we'll talk about the new creative features to the game. There are now something like 50 mods you can attach to each weapon, all with varying effects (longer barrels, ported barrels, marksman stocks, pistol-grip stocks, quick change mags or box mags) That can turn a .44 pistol into a long-range rifle with a bit of work. Bethesda succeeded in making every single item in the game useful for something as well. Now, every single item except for Aid items and Misc. items can be salvages and scrapped for parts to use for weapons or armor of the new settlement building feature. In terms of armor, they have added a feature I have long waited for. You now have under-armor and then armor pieces on that. For example, you wear a Vault 111 suit, but then you equip a helmet, glasses, a shoulder piece for each arm and shin pieces for each leg OVER-TOP of that Vault 111 suit. It's an amazing mechanic. Also, there are about 5 mods per under-armor piece and something like 10-15 mods per other piece of armor (some to make it lighter, some to make it easier to sneak, some to withstand radiation damage better).

The new settlement building feature is my second favorite, only to the new gun mechanics. You now have designated locations in which you can gather materials and build the walls, floors, roofs, decorations, furniture and defense systems to your own little settlement. You aren't required to participate in making or maintaining any of the settlements, but doing so give you a nice place to call home and base-up. You create the walls, or use pre-fabricated sections, add the roofs or the floors, add the stairs or the bridges and fences and gates and doors, then add the water pumps or purifiers and the food to eat and then the generators for power for the defense spotlights, traps and turrets, then add radio beacons to attract new settlers and then add guard posts and wall lights and ceiling fans and beds and rugs and paintings and TV's and radios and benches and all sorts of new things for your settlers and you to take advantage of. And once you do all that, you can build trading posts for settlers to trade at for food or drink or weapons or armor, and you can also add trade routes between your settlements and form a trade connection between them and share resources between all of the settlements you maintain, giving each one their own specialty that helps the others survive. There's a TON to be done here, and the fact that every single item you find is useful in the construction of these settlements is a double-edged sword for me. It's amazing, everything has a purpose now, but at the same time, you and your companions inventory can only hold so much. It's so much fun.

The map is large enough to make it fun to traverse without feeling overwhelmed by being on foot, and the added addition of usable Power Armor really brings some new tactics to the game. The locale is amazing and uniquely different than that of the Capitol Wasteland or the Mojave Wasteland, the Commonwealth really is a region all it's own, that stands unassisted against the other Fallout regions and holds its own.

To say the least, Fallout 4 is an impeccable addition to the franchise, and any fans of the series will likely enjoy it. See you in the Commonwealth, Survivors.

Overpriced and cheaply made toy for an otherwise great game

Reviewed in Canada on May 10, 2016

Platform: PCEdition: Pip-BoyVerified Purchase

Similar to others, this is a review of the pipboy/box and not the game.

The pipboy, as others mentioned, is pretty cheaply made. The knobs feel as though they can easily break off if one fiddles with them too much. The plastic housing of the pipboy is nice and clean but doesn't feel as cheap as others seem to imply; it's closer to some higher quality toys (at least to me) from the late 90s but not quite as good as the early 90s./late 80s.

The main problem I have with the pipboy is my small wrist which even with the strap attached the pipboy is quite loose on the wrist area and not quite as snug as I'd like. Further up the arm it's a perfect fit though.

Overall, I agree with others that this is only something a die-hard fan would likely enjoy more than the average gamer. Paying $150 (CDN) for this is quite the overpriced little toy for the quality we get. At this price, even the PC Explorer Edition of No Man's Sky seems like a better deal with its die-cast figure. That said, I do enjoy it for what it is.

To conclude, either get this when its on sale (which I doubt it'll ever be :/ ) or simply wait for the GOTY edition of Fallout 4.

Arrived 2 days after launch even though I was told it would FOR SURE arrive on launch date. The Amazon customer service guy was cool though. There was a little scratch on the back which my brother noticed, not sure if that was because of me or them but that's pretty lame, not very noticeable but still. Other than that, it's pretty cool, made of cheap plastic and you see the "Made in China" right off the bat lol. Overall, was it worth the $185 CAD? Maybe, probably. It looks good on my desk on it's stand and it's better than a statue so why not, the metal case is also nice.

Game rocks, but don't play with the pipboy!

Reviewed in Canada on November 26, 2015

Platform: PCEdition: Pip-BoyVerified Purchase

The game is everything I expected! It's engrossing, beautiful and despite the usual Bethesda early adopter glitches, quite playable!

The pip boy accessory, while looking really nice from afar, is a disappointment. The plastic feels flimsy and the knobs don't have any functionality and feel like they would fall apart if I'm not super careful.

Finagling with the phone, foam padding, and little plastic mask just to play with the pipboy is a real pain. You also can't properly use a keyboard while wearing it.

Worse yet was the pipboy app: I can barely use it when the phone is loaded in the accessory, and getting a call while playing results in disaster: you can't answer the call easily since the pipboy hides the onscreen buttons, and you can't return to the app without removing the pipboy, popping the cover open, removing the mask, and restarting the app...

The poster, base, and metal case look badass though!

Conclusion: buy the pipboy edition if you want to show off your collectibles and possibly do some cosplay, but don't expect to be playing the game with it!

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS JUNK

Reviewed in Canada on January 9, 2017

Platform: PCEdition: Pip-BoyVerified Purchase

Not only does it feel like a cheap over priced McDonalds toy, the knobs feel loose and as if they'd come right off if you didn't very very gently and slowly turn them. Most newer phones will not fit in the device, and the foam insert came loose basically the moment it was taken out of the box. I've seen similar reviews, and this "collector"'s edition is absolute garbage. Don't waste your money.

Well what can I say...I bought this for my son and he is smitten over this game and all the fancy things that come with it. He was disappointed the PIP boy didn't fit his iPhone 6+ as this information was not released until after the preorder. We managed to get one for pc, Xbox one and PS4 and he has stated that the PC version is the best gaming experience. Great work Bethesda
