Replayed this in 2022. Got the Platinum on PS3 after having the equivalent on Xbox for over a decade.
My major takeaway is that perhaps I, and many others, judged Fallout 4 too harshly. Side quests were far more shallow than memory served, gun play was pitiful, and the choices were "mostly" superficial. RPG elements were weak.
You really had to experience this game at the time of release to truly appreciate it like many of us do. This isn't helped by the fact that the performance takes a nose dive the farther you get into the game. Not something we are accepting of in todays climate (looking at you Cyberpunk)
The game gets a lot right but has unfortunately been overshadowed by many games since.
It's crazy to think that more time passed between Fallout 4 and today, than passed between 3 and 4. By the time Microsoft/Bethesda does something with the IP kids born today will be old enough to play it.
