it's an average Fallout game and didn't do anything new, but still I had 100+ hours of fun with it

Finally! Been waiting for this for ages, was starting to doubt it was going to happen
I know there's lots of complaints about the settlement building stuff but after watching some videos I legit think I'll enjoy & spend a lot of time on it

LMAOOOO, the absolute balls on them. Game runs like shit, is such a huge let down compared to the predecessor in most ways and here they go releasing a goty. Top Kek Howard.

Wow. A game that won many GOTY awards is having a GOTY edition, letting people buy it, with all dlc included, one one disk. For less than the cost of the game +DLC at present.
Why are people upset? Many people said they were waiting for the GOTY edition when it came out. Hey, it finally did! Yay.

Can't tell if most people on GAF are deluded when it comes to Bethesda games while they break sale records, have more daily active player bases than most popular multiplayer titles for years, earn tons of praise from critics and fans at the same time... yet a bunch of people act like the game actively promotes the mass murdering of puppies.
It had its weaknesses, even more so compared to previous Fallout games but come on and get a grip. This is gamefaqs or IGN forums level here.

This is GAF. Always out of touch.

Yep. I got my mindless, open-world jollies and moved on. The game was a fine time even if it played it very safe and the new things it did try (main character story and voice acting) weren't all that compelling. I especially enjoyed it once the Survival Mode update came out. I haven't thought about it much since completing it though.

Loved all Fallout games before 4 though. 4 was just such a huge step back from New Vegas.

I was disappointed in this game overall. I only have about 230 hours in it.

Fallout 4 was just trash. I liked Morrowind and Oblivion. I loved Fallout 3. Skyrim is one of the greatest games ever made. But Fallout 4 was ass. A step back from all of their big open-world RPGs on about every level. Hated the game.

Yeah, the story was ass, but the world was the best they've ever made, bar none. The Bethesda hate cycle will begin anew next year, with their new game.
Ghost recon is the best selling game of 2017 and it's barely talked about here. Gaf will never be a good judge of games.

So this'll all be on disc? It won't just be a copy of the game with a bunch of download codes?

I think people here realize it sold really well. Lots of people love Adam Sandler movies as well.

Yes, we need more FIFA topics here.
As another avid Fallout fan myself, I concur greatly and have expressed similar disappointment as well. Albeit, I saw it coming because Bethesda is Bethesda.
Nevertheless, Bethesda being Bethesda means they still release Bethesda games. And Bethesda games are fun in all of their janky nature.
Nevertheless, as someone who is probably more critical of Bethesda than most, GAF can be hyperbolic towards Bethesda and it is highly uncalled for because Bethesda is a leader in successful single player games and a significant influencer to other successful ones from other developers. Ones which GAF hold in high regard.

At a certain point you need to expect bundles like this as an inevitability. If a game is heavily marketed and has lots of DLC, there is a great chance of seeing a goty edition.
It's funny how you act as if a bad game can not sell well, all while insulting others who don't share this incorrect perception, then proceed to mock everyone else for bringing down the level of discourse.
Perhaps I could lend you a mirror?

People are critical of Bethesda because they with every step forward they take two step backs. They introduce improved combat and weapon crafting and meanwhile they take away nearly all choice and consequence and completely butcher the dialogue wheel. Their writing and worldbuilding remain consistently bad across all games since Morrowind. Not to mention that every one of their games is riddled with bugs and most of it is left to the community to fix it.
Yeah, Bethesda games are insanely popular. Doesn't mean they are of a high quality. Or else The Big Bang Theory would be the best TV series of all time.
He's not wrong though.
Every Fallout 4 thread ends the same way, with people coming out of the woodwork just to drive-by shit post the game because it wasn't "RPG-enough" for them or some such. It's impossible to have a F4 discussion of any kind without this dead weight making an appearance.
At some point I'm just left wondering why so many are so invested in tearing the game down.
I get being disappointed. Highly-anticipated games disappoint me all the time. Thing is, when it doesn't work out for me, I just let it go and move on. It's no big deal, there's more than enough games out there to enjoy.
I think that's what makes me wonder the most about the hate-boner so many on 'Gaf seem to have for Fallout 4. It's like they follow behind every Fallout 4 thread like a jilted lover who just can't let go. Making sure everyone knows what a horrible person Bethesda is, LOL.
I just can't wait for the next Bethesda sandbox game to make an appearance. Hopefully by then everyone who has grown to dislike what they have to offer will have moved on, letting Bethesda fans enjoy their unique talents in peace.
I know why people are critical of Bethesda (because I'm one of the critics) and what is wrong with Fallout 4. I've explained what is wrong with Bethesda and Fallout 4 a dozen times over to others because I've spent years on their own forums doing it. I don't need it repeated to me.

He's not wrong? Most people on GAF are deluded when it comes to how much the game has sold? Oh, ok.
I guess since you're using terms like hate-boner you must be the higher level of discourse that the poster was hoping we'd achieve. I think I'll take my leave...

The problem is that people can't tolerate any middle ground today, and that goes both ways. To combat rampant exaggeration they exaggerate rampantly. It's either the best game I've ever played or the worst. No middle ground. The game hold a 86% average on Metacritic, which is a B, this is a perfectly B game. Some outstanding qualities, several bad qualities. It's like people can't be happy unless it's 3/10, which this game isn't close to.
I can understand putting this on a Goty though, if the story didn't grossly offend you, then it's a pretty great game.

Yep, it's a good game, and this bundles all the DLC at a great price. Great time to jump in for anyone that loves exploration, loot, and building your own towns in a dynamic world. But be cautious if you value story and dialogue quality above all else.

I posted this in the Fallout 4 OT but I'll repost it here since it will get more exposure. I personally would play without mods for a little bit if you're a completely new player and add them later but definitely give the below a try if you're a returning player. Unfortunately, not all of the below mods are available on consoles, but there should still be a lot available to you.
Where do I state that "bad games" can't sell well? I specifically listed areas in which this game succeeded and pointed out the stark contrast between a lot of hateful comments and positive facts about the game. Since you're apparently fond of your propensity to exaggerate: you should know that a bad game doesn't objectively exist and thus can sell as many or as few copies as possible. A portion of consumers want to attach a certain level of quality rating on a game, so they can quickly generalize whether it's worth your time or not.
I also don't insult anyone with contrary perceptions of Fallout's quality. I find it rather insulting to read short one liners, lame jokes and most importantly the pure hatred in some of those posts. You don't have to look far to see people being jealous about the fact that Fallout won more GOTY titles, which is ridiculous! Does it lower the worth or quality of Bloodborne? I assume it lowers their self worth which results in such a toxic atmosphere on GAF more often than not.
The same toxic environment I dislike about forums like gamefaqs, like IGN - minus the hateful worldview.
I don't need a mirror since I can see myself just fine, you may just want to check if your mirror isn't broken.

Far Harbor was damn good and wildly better than anything in the base game.
God the bitching in here.... it's 2+ years ago, just move on already. We all like Bloodborne too, it's not a zero sum situation here.
I actually never played Fallout 4 but occasionally do think about that world and want to check it out. I'll probably grab this on sale over the winter. Glad it's all in one package, sometimes it's annoying tracking down DLC for cheap and figuring out which is worthwhile and which is crap.

Now to begin the inevitable task of waiting for the GOTY edition to go on steam sale.
I may hate the story and lack of compelling quests, but the Gundam mods alone merit a revisit lol

Do you need the dlc for the gundam mods? 😱Now to begin the inevitable task of waiting for the GOTY edition goes on steam sale.

Are there any weapon mods?
Their most ambitious game? Didn't feel ambitious to me! Map is smaller than Skyrim. It didn't feel more advanced than Fallout 3. It had better graphics but that isn't enough to call it ambitious. It didn't feel like a step forward. Even having very, very few or no loading screen between areas would have gone a long way to make this ambitious but no, still loading screens for areas literally the size of one room. Hell it felt regressive in some areas. Fuck what a disappointment this was.
