Bethesda's "Fallout 4" is a foolish, depressing, overproduced video game that mixes post-apocalypse with science fiction to make something that is fun as neither one thing or the other.

Yeah, I finished it out of spite. I don't care anymore. I couldn't live with myself giving a game 0.5 and having so much resentment towards it without actually seeing how bad it gets. After a while of playing, I did become numb to all the awful decisions and was mostly just bored or mildly irritated, but whenever I took a step back and looked at the game as a whole, everything came flooding back to me. Grinding out all the role-playing aspects from a series known for its role-playing, a story that feels like the most generic sci-fi plot ever told with twists that only exist for the writers' masturbatory indulgences, gunplay that feels like the clunkiness of Fallout's past with a much too thick layer of wax over it, just shit all around. It is actually mind-boggling how awful Father is as a character from every single angle, but I don't want to get into spoilers here, I just had to get that out. I don't even know what more to say. The Flanderization of Fallout, full stop.
