edit and that's to say, I loved fallout 3 when I played it the first time round, but I don't care for a newer fallout 3 + minecraft + borderlands 2.
$$ wise, always wait. The GOTY edition goes on Steam sale for cheap, with all expansions, and likely many of the bugs worked out already.
With that said, do you have a fun game that you're playing right now? If not, fallout 4 is a fun game.
Cons
- Almost no tutorial. For anything. This likely wont get patched
- Its harder than fallout 3 / NV
- If you like settlement building, you're practically forced to read about it online and learn how to do it right. You also have to constantly defend them. (I swear, every hour it tells me that one is under attack, and if I dont stop it...my town is destroyed. Regardless of how many turrets I set up)
- Lots of RP elements are almost non existent. I've run into 1 intelligence check so far. Charisma is cool, but you dont get as much outta it this time around.
- The water is terrible, lol bethesda.
- But...I havent run into an irreparable bug yet. Never been forced to load a prior save.
Pros
- Everything else that you like about fallout 3
- Its harder
- You get a dog early
- Modding guns/armor is fun
- You can pretty freely pick perks. The 0-100 scale thing is gone, and all perks are available if you have enough SPECIAL points in that tree.
- The enemies are FANTASTIC compared to the other fallouts. Everything is more deadly/scary, with the odd exception of the deathclaw.
- Settlement building is actually pretty fun. I made an interment camp for one...barbed wire and spotlights and everything. Im not a good person.
- Character creator is decent, and you can change your appearance later.
- Sometimes, locations change. Thats cool!
- Companions dont die.
All in all, I'm having a lot of fun. I think the good outweighs the bad, and the story is pretty good so far. $60 is a lot for a game though...so figure out if you got other things to do now or if waiting bothers you at all (great chance of spoilers, etc).
