also to be fair, a game this large is going to have bugs. It's inevitable.. Lets not cry about it as if it's unfixable. I will say this is the least amount of bugs ive seen in a bethesda launch.
So they are getting better at killing bugs. like a new mmo player should be.
EDIT: everybody saying "oh the witcher 3 was big and it had no bugs". BULLSHIT, the witcher 3 was full of game breaking bugs when it launched i personally remember having my save game ERASED because of bugs from tw3. It got fixed way after the launch point but again it's been a week with bethesda give them a chance.

The witcher 3 is not bigger than fallout 4. Also the witcher 3 you have to load into "Zones" the only loading happens on fallout when you go inside a building thats filled with assets. The witcher 3 had a lot of loading. Fallout 4 is a large close to seamless world.

Not sure how many hours I got but it's probably somewhere around 100, I've encountered 1 gamebreaking bug (Confidence man invulnerability) that I had to reload a save 5 hours earlier to get rid of. Other bugs are rather minor but there are some weird performance issues though, specifically in the city and sometimes when you look through a scope fps drops drastically for no apparent reason.
Never had a crash or save game corruption yet (something all previous games on this engine has had)
After about 100 hours I've hit a bug that prevents me from advancing a quest called Tradecraft. You recover an item and head back to the quest start point. The door into that area can't be used.
Others hit a bug earlier in the quest where an NPC doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Either because it's stuck in geometry or never gets the game program to tell it to proceed.

I once this issue last night (spoiler) where once i unlocked the bunker base the bad ass dual fusion core robot started to attack me and was sitting outside the power amror bunker. well i ran back inside thinking i would avoid him. i was wrong. the game auto saved the robot following me into the bunker. took me 15 deaths to figure out how to hide behind a wall and spit lazers at him until he died. i miss him. it was a epic battle
Bugs are par for the course with Bethesda and they will get patched eventually. Overall Fallout 4 is a decent game. I'm not sure I'm ready to yell "Game of the year!" at the top of my lungs as some of the reviews would suggest.
The dumbing down of the core system and dialog options is a detraction for me. I recognize, Bethesda wanted to go in a different direction; not a direction I favor. It's a decent game and I'll plan on finishing it but I question how much replay value it will have for me.
It isn't optimized either. It plays fine on XBox but looks kind of nasty on my PC and I have a very high end system. Not having advanced settings at my fingertips in kind of annoying too.
So far, he story is decent enough. I got sidetracked by some of the game's features and restarted a couple times. I agree with some of the reviewers that settlement management seems like a waste. Getting the power armor right off feels underwhelming too (See, no spoiler here. You get it right away....)
Anyway, we'll see what the whole game is like. I'm glad to have another Fallout game to play but "Skyrim in the wasteland" it isn't. Nor is it on par really with the original games. Right now, I'm at a solid B Plus.
Fusion Cores are too easy to get on hard mode at least which is what im playing on. Makes the game too easy when I always get to be in power armor since I never run out of cores, I have like 54 of them right now with the perk that makes them last twice as long on top of that. And I got the X-01 Mk1 armor upgraded too. Might just raise the difficulty.
