fish sandwich should be FO3, 4 should be a turd on a nice bun, and new vegas should be a wagyu steak
I cant believe I'm encountering this opinion on a leftist website with lots of trans people on it!!!! (ur mostly right but I think FO4 is Fun To Play just not really meaty in any way).
I can never get a straight answer about FO4 everyone either says it’s fun or says it’s the worst thing to ever exist it’s like FO3 discourse all over again.
Gameplay wise it's pretty good, and does improve on what was laid down in 3 and NV, but it also back steps in some ways with VATS being a slow-mo thing and the only way to get critical hits now
Visually it's fantastic. Some people didn't like the art style change but I'm all for it, I think it fits the retrofuturist aeathetic
Story and writing wise it's dogshit. The main story is beat for beat identical to FO3 but with a new coat of paint and somehow even more boring, the characters other than Nick Valentine are boring, and the main villain motivation is nonsense
Solid 6/10 from me, goes up to 7 or 8 when modded
Also at one point the lead writer voices a character and he calls the player character - and player by extension - the ableist R-slur. Gives you a good idea of the respect the writing team has for your time I'd say
