Fallout 4: 11 Reasons It's A Disappointment

8. Glitches, Glitches Everywhere

It wouldn't be a Bethesda game without a ton of glitches, but holy crap, this game is absolutely riddled with them. Be it the infamous "meatspin" glitch which has plagued every 3D Fallout game (pictured above), characters getting snagged on random objects for no reason, dialogue not being subtitled or skipping altogether, the player being teleported across the map, enemies getting flung into the air for no reason or any of the other endless amount of glitches, it's astounding that they all made it into the final game. While it's understandably impossible for Bethesda to QA everything, the final product suggests their QA department consisted of a single pot-smoking intern with a severe case of Friday Afternoon Syndrome. Though some players insist they've not encountered a single glitch and others are prepared to put up with the jankiness because of the "charm" it infuses into the game, many just expect a AAA game of this stature to be significantly more polished. Compared to, say, Metal Gear Solid V, it's hot garbage from a presentational perspective.
