Choose between BF4 and FO4.
For me, Battlefield 4 is straightforward. If you enjoyed Skyrim, Fallout 4 might appeal to you too. However, I found Skyrim to be uninteresting (though decent), and I don’t think Fallout 4 is significantly more engaging than Skyrim. I’ve invested a lot of time in Battlefield 4, and it still offers a solid experience, just like before. These are different types of games, so consider which previous titles brought you the most satisfaction. Battlefield 4 outperforms Battlefield 3, but I’m unsure if Fallout 4 surpasses Skyrim or Fallout 3.
Let me state that I am both a fan of Bethesda and of Battlefield games. My vote is BF4. The game play is still very solid even after all this time. It's optimized really well to almost that of Star Wars Battlefront so even a shitty PC can run it and look great. It's got a large and active community with many servers for US and EU. There are some minor barriers to entry due to lack of kit and skill but they give you free guns that level the playing field A LOT. On sale the premium version is $20 which is extremely reasonable. I don't think highly of FO4 and had only reasonable and medium tier expectations of it and it couldn't even meet those. They played the game of relying on modders to complete their game more than ever before and the use of repeatable quests to fill out time, most of which are fast and easy to do.The factions were done a little better this time around but the main one you're FORCED into feels really lacking in terms of actual story and content. The main quest itself is easily forgettable so much so that you can be side tracked easily and if just hardlined you can beat it in less than 6 hours. The gameplay is basically a pure FPS with a lack of a repair system outside the disgustingly OP power armor in which you can get the second best type without even trying at borderline any level. It's also easy as hell to stock pile so many resources you can basically do what ever you want and make everything extremely OP. Also full auto weapons are so useless it hurts, semi autos DESTROY them in terms of DPS and outright damage. The textures are also less visually appealing than even basic Skyrim and good luck running them past medium. It requires a heavy set of .ini alterations, texture optimizers and digging into CCC to alter tessellation to make it run smoothly. Oh and it's un optimized as fuck. Barely breaking 60FPS at 60% GPU usage and 40% CPU usage? Are you fucking kidding me?
