Fallout 4: Review in Russian

To say that the game "Fallout 4" was the most anticipated for many years is not to say anything. The release was canceled and postponed, but this was not a hindrance to the multimillion-dollar army of fans who continue to wait, which is confirmed by the huge number of pre-orders. But were the expectations of the fans justified? And did the expectations of Fallout 4? The review in Russian, presented on our website, will try to answer all these questions. So, we go to the brutal world of post-apocalyptic Boston and its outskirts, where our adventures will take place, or welcome to the game "Fallout 4".

Overview

The release date - November 10, 2015 - can be safely written into the story. After all, this day was eagerly awaited by many players around the world. And no matter how opposite and ambiguous were not reviews - this game is worth it. Overview of the game "Fallout 4" you need to start with a description of the story. Our protagonist, awakened from a dream that lasted more than a hundred years, sees through the doors of the cryocamera how his wife (or spouse) is killed and takes the child. A little waking up, we recover in search of his son. And now we fall right into the detective story, in which we have to unravel intrigues, learn secrets and hear shocking memories - we can say that the script was a success.

The main story is a little linear, but still it will take you to the most important cities and places and will acquaint you with all factions of the Commonwealth, with each of which we will have to interact. At the same time, it is necessary to try as long as possible to maintain neutral or friendly relations with all groups. After all, it will allow you to visit their bases, where you can always use the doctor's services or get a free bed and food, but at some point the hero has to make his choice.

Freedom of action and an open world

As Todd Howard, director and executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios, stated, you can do anything, but in the context of the fact that the hero is looking for his child, his desire to help someone to build a village or bring an artifact is not tied up. So it makes sense to go through the main storyline, and then start additional tasks, which in the game a lot. At the same time, some of them are quite original and often lead to new tasks. So you will always find something to do when traveling on a not very large but rich map of Fallout 4.

The review of the plot can not be done without a description of the finale, but then the developers decided that life on the wasteland does not end, so that as such, the end of the game you will not find. It's original enough, but a little disappointing. The plot of the game, one way or another, revolve not only around the search for a child, but also around the relationship of people around to synthetic people. Should they be afraid? Or consider them ordinary people? You will have to decide, but such a concept as "karma", which is responsible for the positive and negative attitude of those around you to your decisions, no longer exists. And this becomes a real freedom of choice, because the game does not dictate to you how to act.

"Fallout 4". Overview of fractions

The player has a lot to interact with the outside world, and not the least role in this play a variety of groups that are at war with each other, have a specific goal and own secrets. And, despite the freedom of action, the hero will have to give preference to one of them, because the main plot is tied in factions. A lot depends on our actions, and this or that act rewrites the scenario of interactions with groups that are four in the game:

• Minutemen - a group that is focused on the creation of new settlements. This faction is always ready to help the peaceful inhabitants of the Commonwealth, but it is extremely cruel to deal with opponents.
• Already familiar from the previous part of the paladins from the Brotherhood have become. These militarists, using high technologies, flew on the Airship to wipe the Institute off the face of the earth.
• The subway is a faction that wants to destroy the Institute and free synthetic people, considering them to be no different from the ordinary ones.
• The Institute is a group of scientists who create artificial people (or as they are called in the game - "synths"). They dwell in an underground shelter, which can only be accessed through a teleport. The main goal of this group is the revival of life on Earth.

Each faction has its own tasks and interests, and none of them can be called bad or good. The player should give preference to the one that is closer to him on the ideological part. Want to develop and build settlements - welcome to the minutemen. The player-warrior will suit the spirit of the Brotherhood of Steel. The Institute is the most difficult moral dilemma. But if he is extremely unpleasant to you, then freely join the ranks of Podzemka - all the quests of this faction are tied up in a secret and obvious confrontation with the Institute.

Heath is not a place for loneliness

Overview of the game "Fallout 4" can not do without mentioning about partners. Of course, such characters existed in the last part, but they were not particularly expressive, silent, and were most often used as pack animals. Now everything has changed dramatically - the partner has his own story (albeit slightly unfinished), character, reacts to the actions of the protagonist and can get into dialogues with other characters. Separately, you need to mention the dog - a few perks and from this dog you can make a killer terminator, which will not be superfluous during a fight.

Interaction with others

Cities and settlements have become more lively. Their inhabitants have found many different occupations, and the hero will always find someone to bargain, communicate and get a new job. This is a huge plus, but the system of dialogues has deteriorated markedly in comparison with the previous part. Sometimes it is not very clear what your hero will say if you choose one or the other answer. If you make friends with someone, you can get some useful skill, which will not be superfluous when passing "Fallout 4".

The review of romantic relationships can be expressed as follows: they exist. Love story will not become too complicated or complicated. Several replicas with a bias towards flirting - and the hero will get a lady or a gentleman. But the only bonus that can be obtained from this is a small temporary increase in the points of experience, which can be obtained for a dream in one bed.

Heath can be beautiful

The game turned out to be atmospheric, however, Bethesda Game Studios is famous for it. We can not say that the schedule in Fallout 4, the review of which we are going through, has become some kind of breakthrough or has an insanely beautiful picture. But still there is a huge step forward. The design and drawing of locations brings pleasure and pleases the eye, and also causes a huge amount of time in search of new settlements or places for study. A huge impression is produced by radioactive storms, which can only be observed from the shelter, because the hero instantly perishes in them. The musical part of the project also immerses into the game completely. In addition to the main soundtrack, you can listen to the radio, but most of the tracks are familiar to us from the previous part, which is a little tiresome.

The pumping of the character in "Fallout 4"

Overview in Russian, presented on our website, you need to continue with these words - the game ceases to be an RPG and turns into an action. The developers overdid with the simplification of pumping the SPECIAL system, and now it's not necessary to puzzle over what parameters to make basic - everything is merged into one system of characteristics, to which 10 skills are tightly bound. Of course, do not think that with an intellect of 4 units you can hack difficult locks, and still have to think about which skill is better to pump now, and what can be improved at another time.

Combat and Critical Strikes

The VATS system, known to us from the previous parts, has undergone changes. First of all, it is not the freezing of time, but its slowdown. In addition, there is no accidental critical hit, but there is a system for accumulating a scale, the speed of which depends on several factors. Opponents have become smarter, moving around, hiding behind obstacles, can throw a grenade or shoot from the shelter - which makes the battle more dynamic and interesting in "Fallout 4".

The weapons can be reviewed for a very long time, because in the game it became not only more, but also the possibility of its creation increased. Now there is a benefit from the trash lying around all the wasteland, because any weapons can be improved or changed with the help of improvised means. In general, building and creating objects is a separate topic, but which can be spent more than one hour.

Expert Reviews

Not bypassed this game and eminent surveyors, who responded differently about the game "Fallout 4". Overview "Stopgeym" gives an assessment of the new post-apocalypse "Amazing", and this is the highest score, despite the slight claims to a simplified system of pumping and unimpressive graphics. But the atmosphere, the variability of the passage of quests and the great possibilities of "crafting" weapons outweighed these shortcomings.

Did not pass over the attention and a well-known connoisseur of games, like "Rap Game". Review of "Fallout 4", conducted by him recently, described this game as one of the best in 2015. Like everyone else, there are small claims to the schedule, but overall the game is made "excellent". And, according to the reviewer, he does not regret that he spent many hours playing at "Fallout 4".

The review of "Igromania" conducted more thorough, and on these experts the game made an indelible impression. Let's start with the shortcomings, which include the weakness of the first half of the story, the inadequate depth of the history of satellites, the small number of opportunities for passing missions and the incomprehensibility of the finale. Also there are a lot of bugs at the start. But this is a small fly in the ointment, because "Fallout 4" impresses with its original world, atmospheric, building and improvement abilities, and also boiling with life wasteland. In general, reviews about the game are largely positive, but the conclusions still do to you.
