While I've been continuing to play and enjoy the game, it's been suffering from consistent game crashes, sound profiles being broken midway through a game, and while loading into games have been instantaneous, there's minor hitching that can get on my nerves.

This however may be due to my system, but it's both discouraging, and consistent enough that it's been a poor experience.

The Bot Issue is atrocious.
Both in inflating the active user-count where there's statistically a much larger bot population (either as Griefer Bots, Sales Bots or just inactive on the homepage) compared to a human population, and referring back to the Griefer bots, actively making the experience for other players worse.

While a very enjoyable game during the time I have played it, there are still a fairly large number of bugs still present which have made me hesitant to recommend.
Something unique, but audio issues are often present that are exclusively in this game compared to other mainstream games.
Devices that use both a combination audio and mic interface had lead to terrible sound issues that persist after closing the game. Inability to use bluetooth headphones from second-launch onwards without disabling the hands-free handshake functionality made my main headset useless while trying to run with friends on Discord. Inability to change audio sauces in-game, especially with the game requesting that you make use of the mic a catch-22.

Other regular occurrences include the game closing mid-game while in public games, and had been occurring more recently.
While I'll continue to jump in to play, I can't really recommend the game to others, just in case my issues are not exclusive to my circumstances.

Well I reached 1,000 Hours.
I have WAY too much time on my hands.

Was able to reach Silver Sage in that time, which is neat.

Came for the anime tiddies
Stayed because I'm an awful human being.

Concerning recent events, it is only the icing on the cake of the general negativity that this entry has compared to the rest of the franchise, and what ultimately amounted to a difficult game to recommend.

Looking at Fallout 4 as a whole, the game is plagued with new mechanical additions such as settlement building which remained heavily restrictive to being practical, and being hard-baked into the game that removing such a feature requires additional work on the consumer.
The direction towards less traditional perks for percentage-based changes and the lack of traditional RPG-features and tropes such as "Skill Checks" (including DLCs, a grand total of 3), mediocre player choices (Choices being Yes, No, Sarcasm, and Cancel) & a rather weak incentive towards the story makes the game fail as an RPG.
For other mechanics, weapon customisation is heavily tilted towards guns, and the initial promise of full customisation is only really demonstated with the "Pipe Pistol", the incredibly cheap mook weapon found from early-game raiders. For gameplay itself, besides the V.A.T.S. system, is rather mediocre. Concerning V.A.T.S., it serve as a nice cosmetic to help mask some of the poorer gunplay mechanics, while also offering a level of ease for hard-to-hit enemies.

While I have been rather negative towards the game in this review, and might not recommend it personally to other people, those still interested shouldn't be discouraged from buying or playing the game. The game has a rather bountiful modding community that have tried to fix many of the glaring issues present in Fallout 4, with various videos demonstrating the newest mods that may interest you, as well as tutorials on the best loadout for your experience.

For now, the best time to get the game is either when it goes on sale, or when GOTY is released as also on sale.

Outside some minor testing, I've never much had any reason for playing GTA V, and this partially came down to the excessive draconian ruling concerning their online half, with legitimate programs unrelated to aiding in the game triggering the floodgate of bans. With recent news of the OpenIV closure due to Take Two, a program designed for modding the single-player half of the game only, they have opened themselves into a PR nightmare that could see shares plummet for future products.
While I was able to get the game on sale, most people wanted to play as soon as possible. For my £20, I have a multiplayer mode I'm too scared to go on in fear of receiving a ban for having Discord up, to a Single-player that has now lost the main avenue to install some incredible mods, some fully changing how the game plays.

When purchasing the game, I went into it with the mindset that this in fact a port of the PSP version of the game, a title that had only had a presense in Japan (barring English Patch work) and the news of seeing the recent 'HD' port going to PC would allow me the chance and opportunity to enjoy the title properly.
In my case, I had an enjoyable experience so far with the game, though this may vary from person-to-person on preference and approach to this title.

Voice work on English is barely passable, with either cringey dialogue, or very sub-par VA work; the better comparison of the team throwing the script to Google Translate, though character personalities are an even worse contentder (With exception to your two non-numbered party members Machina and Rem, though this is also a stretch pending your expected view to the game)

Gameplay will be your main bread-and-butter for this title, with a focus on using the various characters available (14 initially) to go with a particular style. Styles however may appear fairly limited, though do expand for a wider range as you level up. An example of this with the character of Queen (Longsword/Fencer) can allow for teleporting setup potential, something akin to the character Nightcrawler in speed, though still bland overall.

While I can recommend the game for play, I highly recommend waiting for further development if going for keyboard/mouse setup, with myself using a DS4 controller through the program InputMapper (Make it think it's a x360 controller)
