The 'MrMattyPlays' Fallout 4 Review "A Near Perfect Game"

[Fall Out Boy]

I've seen him here and there on YouTube, came across his Fallout 4 review.

I'd very much like to hear NMA's response to this thank-you.

I stopped watching it after he said "Fallout lovers" and "near perfect". I cannot take someone that ignorant seriously.

I saw this video because it was one of the first reviews posted. It's just further evidence that anyone can buy a microphone and record themselves playing a video game and post it to YouTube with the word "Review" in the title.

Gaming journalism is not like becoming a lawyer or doctor or even a real journalist. There's no entrance exam or requirement. Any schmuck can have an opinion - the difference is these people post it to Youtube.

Super Bunnyhop did a fair review of the game and is one of my "go-to" reviewers, although reviewing games is a secondary part of his channel. He actually has a journalism degree.

I am not sure what you can say about someone who's calling Fallout 4 a near perfect game. I mean com on, even if you love the game, but near perfect? That's pretty hefty.

These are the same people that give the game 9/10 but say "it is FAR from a perfect score."

 

[MercenarySnake]

To me games seem to be on a scale of 7-10/10 because I rarely see anything below that. Even if someone says tons of negative things about it the game will still get a 8/10. I want to know how this game is near perfect because I find it super boring after 64 hours and I haven't even finished the main quest.

Without knowing who this guy is my guess is he's the age of the target demographic for Fallout 4 or he doesn't play role playing games OR he plays Fallout 3 and New Vegas for the shooting aspect.

Likely the case, even though the shooting is better then it was I have played way better shooters. That's all the game has going for it unless you like to play Fallout 4: Minecraft Edition.

Fallout 4 is a near perfect Fallout 3.

Update: that reviewer says "settlement building is the real deal" of the game.

It actually hurts knowing that there's people like this.

At least some of the top comments point out how stupid he is.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Holy shit. I think you guys should take a look at these vids:





I think he got some flack from someone to do with Fallout/Bethesda/Can't remember. Thats why he "updated his thoughts" :/

I really have no interest in the opinions of someone that made a video titled "Fallout 4: A Near Perfect Video Game" and posted it the day before launch.

Just like I have no interest in the opinions of someone who begins a sentence with "As a hardcore Fallout 1 and 2 fan, here is why Fallout 4 is the best game ever made."

he was cool at first but now that the game has came out and we can all see how shit it is, i don't like him anymore. never seen his 1/2 review tho

Who the FUCK has ever said that?!?! paha

Just from taking a quick glance at his vid list you can see that the guy milks views from the Fallout 3 and 4 fans to no end (there must be over 300 vids about Fallout 4 in there) and it seems to be working well for him since he has 200k+ subscribers. Since his whole "bread earner" comes from pandering to that fanbase of course he's going to glorify that thing to no end.

True, but It's still incomprehensible to me that a human being could give Fallout 4 the title of 'Near Perfect' and have a large amount of people agree with them.

It's not like hyperbole would be controversial in the age of "10/10 goty". xD

Unfortunately, a surprising number of reviews are out there with that. Bethesda's marketing has likely realized they can sell more Fallout 4 by bringing up its heritage and how it is a "hardcore RPG" and how fans of the original love Fallout 4.

Still, 'Near Perfect'

I can't think of anything that I've ever considered 'Near Perfect'

People need to understand what PERFECT actually means.
