A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I like Fallout 4, spent hundreds of hours in it, and couldn't blame you with that comment at all. For all the improvements that FO4 makes to graphics, gameplay, etc, it really trounces on the story side in general.
Don't get me wrong, I understand people that like Fallout 4 on its own merits. If it had been released as a new IP, I wouldn't have any animosity towards the game at all.
It's just that, there's a reason Bethesda started releasing games under the Fallout name instead of a new IP's name, and it was to sell the game to the existing Fallout audience. And I feel like I met them halfway in embracing FO3 and NV, but FO4 was a bridge too far.
