'Fallout 4' Review: The Dangers Of Hype [VIDEO]
The hype comes from people who never played an Elder Scrolls game playing Fallout for the first time at game 3 and being blown away because they went in with moderate expectations and loved it. Fallout is a great series but its more about the exploration and looting than anything else.
I think Fallout 4 will be game of the year clearly but at the same time new people shouldn't go in expecting this crazy hyped up experience. This is the kinda game you could play for a while and end up never even completing the campaign.
