I'm happy with my purchase of fallout 4, I have about 16hrs in it so far and still haven't beat it. I really cant wait for all the awesome mods that it will have one day.
Ugh ... I know every PC is different and whatnot, but i've never had issues with textures o.o I seriously wonder how you guys make that. I play on ultra graphics and sometimes i go under 60 fps. Yes its not very nice to have that but the screens im generating are top notch. No fragments or shit like that.
Corrupted textures could mean bad GPU drivers and this has nothing to do with the game. Just last night I finally installed Windows 10 Threshold 2 which (i think) updated my GPU driver as well (AMD GPU, which everyone on this forum loves to hate about bad drivers) and I've never had corrupted textures.
Don't be too quick to judge the game.
I saw and posted about the very same texture issue at the Thicket Excavation as the poster above you. So far it's the ONLY place in the game where this issue exists...and it's real (at least on the PC) and has nothing to do with graphics driver. Go there yourself if you want. It's due east of the Red Rocket truck stop near sanctuary... or google "fallout 4 thicket excavation" and you'll see the many posts about it.
The only thing different about this spot vs. the rest of the world I've seen so far is that here the water is temporary and you get a quest to drain the quarry. After it's drained, there are no texture issues any longer.
Don't be too quick to judge other people's experiences.
Yeah, this happened to me on every character so far at this location. When I save and restart the game it goes away, but there is definitely a graphical bug at that place that needs fixing.

I had the exact same texture issue at the excavation, a game restart fixed it, haven't had it happen again yet. My son never experienced it, could very much be a driver issue. He's running a GTX970 and I'm running a Titan X.
I'm running the Titan with a 2k 144hz G-sync monitor and the graphics are nice, not as nice as the Witcher 3, but no complaints here.

It's actually a place that has at least 3 phases: 1) flooded phase, 2) drained phase and, if you go away and come back later (no idea how much later -- for me it was about 20 levels later) 3) a built up phase with several shacks and lots of raiders.
The texture problem only happens in the first flooded phase.

For some bizarre reason, the stuck at terminal bug happened a lot early on but it no longer happens to me. No idea why. The only persistent one I keep seeing occasionally is the invisible Pipboy one.
All in all, for me, it has been relatively bug free. I'm level 30 now and have roamed around quite a bit with very few issues.
I'm using the latest nvidia drivers with a GTX980. I think your son just got lucky or had the right combination of whatever in the game (with so many interrelated systems in the game tracking the cause of bugs and glitches is never easy) but that excavation texture glitch isn't an AMD vs. Nvidia driver thing. Like I said in my post above, it's one of the very few areas in the game with 3 phases - I suspect that's where the problem code lies.

I'm level 39 and so far have not seen any texture glitch and have never been locked into a terminal :O how does that work. Even when i fail 4 times i have to wait like ... 10 seconds to be able to retry again.
I had one weird bug but its not critical. There was a mine i panic and jumped. The explosion threw me and i was stuck between a chair and a desk. Toggling no clipping mode (tcl in console) got me out of it. That's the only bug I've encountered through. And I did all the excavation quests. Even defended it for bunch of settlers. Haven't gotten back there though to see if they settled there. Will do so when I get back home
Also i failed to persuade the dude giving me the quest to fix the water pumps. So i didn't like that very much so i shot him in the face :U The quest did not fail :v
I'm having a hard time understanding these great reviews. Well, until my cynical nature starts screaming at me that it's because of dollars changing hands. Big fat cheques with lots of zeros. That must be it.
Graphically it sucks, let's face it. The mod community is already making vast improvements to the game's graphics, and if they can do it then why the fuck can't Bethesda do it themselves? Are we to believe that Bethesda can't find decent artists and programmers now? We have to rely on the modding community to fix the shit they can't do? Not good enough, Bethesda.
It's a great buggy mess, across all platforms.
There's nothing particularly innovative going on. Ooh, housing and a gimmicky bullet time. You can do better than that, Bethesda.
In fact, it's pretty much more of the same, with a few little changes thrown in. It smacks of laziness from a Dev living on it's rep from earlier games. Not a great idea with the competition we've seen emerging recently.
It's worth maybe a 6 or a 7 out of ten and that's being generous. No way is it a 9. Anyone giving it a 9 has been bought off. Game site scores are worthless these days, you can't trust any of them.

I'd give it a 9 based on how much I've played and how engrossed in it I am.
Level 22 and not encountered a bug yet, not saying there arent any but saying buggy mess is a bit much. You only see the videos where people encountered some bugs but avoid the 100s of videos where people are playing it smoothly and enjoying it. Im not using graphics mods and I think the game looks great. I personally give the game a 9/10.
I'm curious. Has anyone figured out if the engine is still bound by the 4Gb memory limit (32bit) as FO3 and Skyrim were? Is the game multithreading? This might be revealing as to whether FO4 is merely a retread or not.

It's true that it is more of the same but the game looks fantastic and the bugs are over exaggerated.
Numerical scores are garbage without context and everyone knows that. The only thing that matters is that the game is good enough to recommend to anyone who enjoys these types of games.
its so easy to say something is bad but when you have played a game for 50+ hours and then say its bad you just look stupid
in steam ive seen people playing a game for over a 1000+ hours and say a game is bad giving it a thumbs down and you just wonder at what point they thought it was bad (its also amazing how many people with a private profile are negative about a game, its almost like if your profile is private you don't like the game )
plus the fans boys who play for 0.5 hours and tell you its a the best game ever
so next time you want to know if a game is good, check out about 50 player and you will give you a feel for what you will get out of the game
I've played a total of 50 hours now with several characters. I'm not a real fan of post apocalypse themes but this game has what I wanted as far as crafting goes so I am playing it to death.
The only issue I've seen is when I can't toggle pip-boy. It is happens only when I enter build mode by pressing the 'v' key. Not that big of an issue just save exit and restart.

Graphically it does not suck, I happen to think it looks really good. They created the look they wanted and mods allow you to create the look you want.
I have experienced 1 bug so far after 53 hours of playing, I would hardly call it a buggy mess.
A game doesn't have to innovate to be good. A lot of people like the style of Bethesda games and if they were to change that then a lot of people might be annoyed, no one else produces the kind of games they do.
Ugh...those "reviews." I'm 30 hours in. This is definitely a solid 7.5/10. The dialogue system is awful as well as the lack of skill checks, definitely its biggest flaw, but good combat, exploration and crafting system. If you want a good role playing game this is disappointing as hell, but as an open world shooter with a decent base building system it is enjoyable.
Giving a perfect score (and I think all game scores are pointless) means the game is perfect and cannot be improved. Clearly Fallout 4 has a ton of huge bugs, and has many issues. It can be improved. Ergo, the sites that give perfect scores to the game I have no trust in at all and would avoid.
What is with the perception that a 10 means everything is perfect? 10 is as arbitrary as every other number on a scale. I've seen many people claim that "10 means perfect and so I've never given any game a 10 ever." Well... ok. At that point you are judging a game on a scale of 1-9, not 1-10.
An 11 is impossible on a scale of 1-10. If a ten is impossible, then you are using a scale of 1-9.

10 is the reserve spot so you can always say well it's great but there is still better you can do as it's not a 10. If you rate it a 10 but still have problems where else are you going to go when they "fix" said issues, you're already at the top.

It's no longer an RPG with shooter elements. It's a shooter with RPG elements. If ever there was a game to complain about being 'dumbed down', Fallout 4 is it. Funny how the usual detractors of such things have chosen to stay oddly silent about FO4.
That is sad since The Elder Scrolls single player games have also gone down that road. Bethesda to me feels like they have gotten lazy.
