I would like to give it a try, but it would mean buying an upgraded console (and the game) and cash is a little tight right now for me.

I did spend many, many hours playing New Vegas, though and thinking it might be worth it?

The game demands a lot from a systems GPU if you want to play it on Ultra graphics settings. I had to upgrade from a XFX 7870 to a Powercolor 390X Devil (I had to hustle up overtime to pay for it!) to do so and stay at about 60fps. I’m not sure how the console version graphics compares to PC other than the 30fps lock. I’ve read so many complaints about the game that I pretty much just ignore now. Some people really enjoy it like me and some don’t.

New Vegas is much better storywise and RPG wise, and I think it was also designed to favor a wider diversity of builds. The areas 4 improved upon NV basically have to deal with the better aiming system and the settlement system. Melee is really good in VATS but is awkward outside of it, while unarmed is a disappointment (four different weapons, can’t use the weapons with power armor, sneak attack bonuses from Ninja scale much better with melee...)

The settlement system is plagued by horrendous settler AI (the recruitable settlers are extremely buggy) and very small build limits. You can do an exploit to increase the build limit, but then your game’s FPS will be shot.

Another thing I personally don’t like in the game are the RNG weapons, although they did include fixed unique weapons like they did in 3 and NV. Most of the effects are forgettable, but then there’s the gamebreaking explosive shotgun and minigun, which will make survival a joke.

Fallout 4 is a good game, its problem is that it exists in a world with NV.
