10 Major Fallout 4 Problems The Fans Won’t Admit
The Fallout fallout rumbles on.
As the latest instalment of a beloved series, Fallout 4 gets away with quite a lot. While no one is under the illusion that the game is perfect - as virtually all of the reviews demonstrate - it has still received an awful lot of love from its longstanding fans.
Don't get me wrong: Fallout 4 certainly does a lot of things very well. It's an adequate continuation of the franchise, taking the events of Bethesda's apocalypse to a great new setting, adding a whole host of new elements to the ever-growing lore.
Naturally Fallout 4 does deserve praise for these things, but not to a degree where its failings are whitewashed or marginalised by over-enamoured fans. The game is good, perhaps even great, but there's no denying it has many major problems that its most ardent fans refuse to accept.
Looking for a more objective view than that? Well then you've come to the right place! We'll take you through ten of the major problems that Fallout 4 fans would rather forget about... consider these all of the things that need to be fixed a few years down the line when we're all anxiously anticipating the release of Fallout 5!
10. The Third Person Perspective Is Too Broken To Use Regularly
One of the admirable things about Bethesda's immensely popular RPG series is the way they've always tried to cater for as wide an audience as possible. In theory, fans of both first and third person perspectives should be thrilled by the dual offerings.
That is, if both of them worked properly. As was the case with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 4's first person view is vastly superior to the capabilities of the third person view. Draw distance and camera responses are woefully buggy with the third person mode, which can genuinely prove the difference between life and death when a player finds themselves in a tight spot.
If you're ever backed into a corner or tucked a little too close to a solid wall in third person mode, you may just find your movements completely thrown off as the camera spins and fizzes away from where you actually want it to go. While a majority of players do seem to prefer the first person perspective, it's a huge shame that the alternative is so inferior to the point of being useless.
So long as it remains broken, one has to ask whether it's even worth leaving in anymore?
