Most likely a way to try and minimize potential damage on sales.

It really could well be. I've noticed that many big releases these have embargoes. I've also noticed how many big titles are lacking too.

I suppose the best way would be to discuss the game with someone who has an early sales copy.
 
The reason why the review came out early wasn't for some clickbait or malicious reason. It was a simple publication error.

I dint believe that for one second. A convenient excuse indeed. Anytime I search for games rumours and info, ibt, idigitaltimes, etc regurgitate the same bullshit stories about game speculation.

It was click bait plain and simple, delude yourself into thinking that this is a credible review, even though to anyone who is capable of critical analysis will call bullshit on such pathetically written drivel that's presented as a review.

Ibt has zero credibility, they have no integrity and what they present as journalism is an insult to anyone's intelligence.

They broke the embargo on purpose, of course they did. Theyre a third rate publication that's desperate for attention. They completely ruined their credibility with developers, they probably won't get the chance to break too many more embargoes in future.


I give Forbes more creedence and actually read their stuff and enjoy it, because it is actually informative, well written and totally objective. Whilst this "review" is a pathetic excuse for journalism. Says more about those who are desperate for it to be taken seriously.
 


The performance on consoles seems really sketchy.

It seems like the pc (with geforce) version is the one to get, if you like such games or whatever.

Lot of people are complaining about the UI saying that its worse then Skyrim's. Seems like Beth didn't learn from Skyrim or realized something was wrong with their UI given the fact that the most popular mod on the Skyrim Nexus is a fix to their crappy UI.

Unless you got something substantial that proves otherwise, belief is all you've got. It does indeed look like this so-called IBT fiasco was a simple error.

As another poster already pointed out, Beth extended the review embargo and these guys apparently missed that--having released the review on the original date intended, then immediately withdrawing it.

By the way, Buxbaum666 is right.. you're way too eager over this shit. Do yourself a favor and scale it back some--you sound like a goddamned kook.
 
Looks like someone is really determined to express his hatred of this "click bait" review.

It seems there are a large number of people that give it either a 10 or 0. Interesting if you ask me.

Two sides of the same coin. Both of them emotionally invested in their pursuit to save, or destroy. While this game is stupid, it is definitely not bellow 5 and not above 8.5, by the look of it.
 
Also to complete demolish the inane they did this on purpose for clickbait theory:

You do realise that "international business times" is just a worthless click bait site? Lol look at the name. It's some Indian dude praying for that sweet click bait moolah. Do some of you have difficulty with comprehension? Look at how crappy the article is written. Guy obviously has never played fallout out and created some degenerate click bait to ride the hype train. Lol people putting stock in a review from a site with the name of international business times. Ahahahahahahahahaha

Click bait or not Bethesda gave them a free copy to review. It's their own fault for giving it to, as you put it 'some Indian dude who's intentions are only to get that sweet click bait moolah'.

Your points are valid, but when you actually read how bad the review is, then you'll know where I come from. I read the review, the guy seems like he has never played ANY fallout game. He makes criticisms without using examples of what is wrong with the game. He never spends time talking about anything different from previous iterations, nor does he even mention any of the improvements in the series. It seems like propagandist click bait. Honestly, from his review, its likely that hrs never played it, never got a review copy. Man, it's called international business times, it's just a fancy name for an Indian click bait site. There's tonnes of them with equally shitty and self important titles. I put no stick in a review that doesn't actually talk about the game that they are ALLEGEDLY reviewing. But, hey, take someone who presented ZERO facts as gospel if you wish. I learnt ZERO about fallout 4 from this click-bait review.

Let's accept your premise that this reviewer has never played a Fallout game in his life (which IMO is a faulty one - he does after all say that current fans of Fallout 3 will love it, so he may have some sort of experience with that game to use as a reference). Don't you think there might be a problem if a newbie to the Fallout franchise has trouble getting into the game? If this game's going to be the biggest thing EVAH and shatter all sales records, don't you think it better be able to rope a bunch of new players into the franchise? Especially when you consider that from all appearances so far, Bethesda is pretty much telling a significant chunk of their existing customer base, the fans of the originals and New Vegas, to just piss off?

By the way, if you had bothered to look at that link provided earlier, you'd learn that IBT was founded by an American and a Frenchman and its headquarters is in Manhattan. Vincent Balistriere (the review author's name) sounds more Italian than anything else. So where are you getting the idea that it's some kind of "Indian click bait site"?

I didn't bother to look, because anytime I search games, ibt is usually one of the click bait sites that regurgitate the same bullshit from other sites and talks about games without giving any meaningful details. Lol to consider international business times as legit, says more about those who consider it legit. Its a publication that cannot be taken seriously, at all. But if you want to take such pathetic nonsense as gospel, that's down to you. Just don't get butthurt when people call bullshit on such bullshit "reviews"
For you to actually to consider this as a "review", says it all. Also, I can't help that you're butthurt that it's not more like NV, I preferred Fo3 more anyway, so kudos to Bethesda to keeping true to their own franchise and not buckling to the demands of jilted fanboys. After all they paid for the rights of the franchise, they didn't pay to play lip service to fanboys.
I couldn't care how the game sells, as I'm not some pathetic cod fangirl whereby I'd use sales to justify how I spend my own cash ( couldn't care less if it sells more than "evah", what a dumb, butthurt, bitchy and whiny fangirl statement to make). I already bought my copy, so I don't give a shit about anything except my own experience. Although I'll call bullshit on bullshit. If I don't like the game, I won't be afraid to say, it's my right as a consumer. Go figure.
If you're not happy with what Bethesda has done to the game don't buy it or play it, it's as simple as as that.
Did you actually consider this as a legitimate review? I'd be intrigued to know why you'd consider this as a review and not a pile of click bait bullshit.

What the holy heck are you talking about? Is that you, Todd?
