How many of us actually finished FO4?

First time out of the vault
I seriously couldn't bring myself to finish it. I played about 60 hours worth the two weeks following its release, really trying to be open minded about all the shit that is horrendously wrong with the game. At some point it hit me that I was forcing myself to play the damned game and I wasn't really enjoying it. I tried taking a break and since then I've put another 15 hours or so in since its release and I can't play it anymore; every time I've booted it up since I play for a few minutes before realizing why I stopped. How many actually finished the story?

I sort of feel bad not even finishing the main storyline but it just doesn't feel right to me. Plus the male player character voiceover kind of makes me nauseous.

The true ending in Fallout 4 is uninstalling it at any point. I have completed the game.
 
I got around 60 hours into it twice, and just couldn't make myself continue with either character. I have since wiped the game and all my saves off my HDD.

Oh absolutely.

Up on a tower, here's a button. Click. Nuke. Cause, reasons. Hole in the ground. Nothing much changed. Boo... Boo, Ben! Boo...

My problem wasn't so much as that the ending involved whether or not you nuke central Boston.

My problem was more that no actions before that have any affect.

The only important decisions you ever make in the game that will effect the ending are which faction you side with.

But he delivers the best version of Fallout's famous line.

[/sarcasm] Jesus Christ it's so awful, with the "inspirational" music and the total misunderstanding of what that line actually fucking means. Just watch the first Fallout intro, you get chills from it.

Why does that scenario seem awfully familiar to me, almost as if it's happened before?

No I must be imagining it, Bethesda wouldn't recycle something from a previous game.

I finished it. I don't even remember how it ends. The nuke thing mentioned sounds familiar. I also was kind of pissy I wasn't able to go into a story-driven showdown with asshole-shaun, but I was at least able to shoot him dead after the dumb, pointless "dialog" with him

Wasn't my point either.
Railroad? Nuke.
Minutemen? Nuke.
BOS? Nuke.

It's pointless who you choose cause it all ends up at the same place.
In FNV it makes sense for you to end up at the dam in NCR, Legion and House quest lines.
But that every single faction you can side with in FO4 wants to nuke The Institute? That's lazy of Bethesda.
 
I gave up twice. Once at level 8. I picked the game up again like... Three weeks later? Anyway I gave up again at level 13. Haven't picked it up since.
 
I attempted to but I couldn't, I was trying to find atleast one good quest. Just ONE, I couldn't find a quest with decent writing or any semblance of logic. That shitty kid in the fridge quest was the final straw for me to uninstall this uninspired abortion and excuse of a Fallout game. If asked to finish it I would find having one of my eyes shot out to be much more preferable to that.
 
I completed it in about 30 hours.
It was a "Lets get this over with" moment.

I've put in more for DLC through.
It's a chore to be honest.
 
I managed to power through the main quest, then instantly grabbed a gallon of ice cream and a bottle of whiskey then I proceeded to my bathtub And cried in pain and agony . my brain couldn't take all the abuse of trying to comprehend all the stupidity on screen. After a couple of months of "self therapy"( watching lots of harem hentai) ,and self medicating( drinking whiskey until I couldn't tell the difference between my dick and my big toe). I eventually managed to try some of the dlc. I had the season pass ( it was a gift from a well meaning relative who didn't know all the damage that it would do to my psyche). I tried playing far harbor( I didn't bother with autoshitron) and honestly kinda liked it had "decent" atmosphere,and and a interesting location. I was genuinely suprised to find a skill check(it's sad that I'm suprised that a skill check is in a games that's supposed to be a RPG). I was kinda of having fun, until I realized I was just suffering from Stockholm syndrome , and I was just playing a action shooter with a few more rpg elements and only one "fun" quest, that was only "fun" because it was a ripoff of autumns leafs( i highly recommend playing autumn leaves btw, that mod is better then fallout 4,and it's dlc combined). I then relapsed back to my bathtub, with a bottle in my hand, and the words" another settlement needs your help" permanently branded into my conscience.

Tl:dr fallout 4 raped me on a physical, and psychological level, and I'm still trying to cope with it to this day.
 
I made it about 40 hours. I managed to beat the main quest and Minute Men quest line. Although at the near the end of the main quest, I got sick of it and just toggled god mode.
 
I honestly wonder if I ever should get this game on discount and finish it at least once. I even finished FOBOS at least a couple of times.
 
I finished the game once (main quest and whatever side/Radiant/faction quest I could find) and boy was it a dull and forgettable experience. The only reason I recall for continued playing until the ending was to give it a fair assessment for my own online journal and by the end of it, I wish I could reclaim those hours I wasted to that dull experience and channel it into something more productive.

It's not worth a discount let alone for free. If you want to replicate the equivalent of playing that game simply take your head and repeatedly bash it off your desk until you feel like you have suffered brain damage.

"You played for 75 hours and you say you didn't like it? LOOOOOL! Who plays a game for 75 hours if they don't like it?"
Ok, Bethesdrone mode is off.
The game is all about being shiny, it doesn't have much essence at all. Once the shine from the game being new disappears all you have left is button mashing, linear dungeons, dialogue that is an insult to even a troglodyte, repetitive combat, repetitive quests, unrewarding exploration, plenty of skeletons and teddy bears that get old fast, etc...
I never finished it, to answer the title question.
