In this part of the video, the reviewer discusses the recently updated version of Fallout 4 for current generation consoles, specifically the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. They highlight the limited changes in this new release, focusing mainly on the addition of graphics mode options. Players can choose between a performance mode, running at 60 FPS with dynamic 4K resolution, and a graphics mode at native 4K with 30 FPS. The performance mode is generally stable, although some minor frame rate drops occur during combat. While the game still looks solid visually, the reviewer feels Bethesda missed an opportunity for more significant visual enhancements. Additionally, there is little new content beyond a few creation club items such as a quest, new weapons, and cosmetics. Despite these limitations, the reviewer notes that the game performs well without major bugs in their experience.

In this part of the video, the discussion centers around various issues and aspects of Fallout 4, particularly following its next-gen update. Key points include reports of significant bugs affecting PlayStation Plus subscribers and players on PC and Xbox Series X and S, leading to crashes and deleted saves.

Fallout 4’s combat, while not top-tier for a first-person shooter, is deemed superior to previous Fallout titles, especially with the VATS system. However, the dialogue system is criticized for limited options due to the protagonist being fully voiced, even though the new camera angles during conversations are a noted improvement.
