In fairness, fans were made aware of this one a while back, when the initial trailer didn't even attempt to mask the fact that Fallout 4 just doesn't look that great. Yes, it's dripping in atmosphere and has a ton of mood, while the world-building is incredible, but on a basic aesthetic level, the game is fairly ugly. The textures are bland and flat, animations are often jerky and the lip sync is so laughably bad it's a surprise Bethesda even bothered. While this has been par for the course in pretty much every game the developer has made, it's fairly disappointing that they've made a game that looks like it could probably be released at the tail-end of the PS3, or at the very most as a launch title for PS4. Graphics absolutely aren't everything, but they are something, and this is one area where the commitment and attention-to-detail of the world as a whole just isn't found.
