Fallout took a nosedive after New Vegas. Especially with using an old and buggy game engine and crappy writing. FO4 was terribly disappointing. And it looks like 'ol Todd is going to screw the pooch again with 76. I guess he's angling to compete for a-hole game designer of the decade with Chris Roberts.
I don’t get the criticism of Fallout 4. I do think Fallout New Vegas was a far superior game, but Fallout 4 was reasonable.
If they had taken Fallout New Vegas and built on that, Fallout 4 would have been much better. Still, I enjoyed it.
