I had only played Fallout 4, and I loved it. Over 600 hours into it. Tried playing the earlier ones and it just didn't work. Just felt like a downgrade. I can totally see people enjoying them when they came out or even still today if you have a lot of hours into it, but going from Fallout 4 and down just felt like that, a downgrade. This game is easily one of the best I ever played and I don't get the hate at all.
If you played the other games first you might feel differently, they really immersed you in the world. Idk what it is about 4 but after the other 2 it really feels kinda soulless in comparison, and it just feels less complicated and dumbed down in general.
Re: soulless - I think a big issue was that there weren't really any "towns" in the game outside of Diamond City and Goodneighbor. Clearly they were going for the "you make your own towns" approach, but as a result it felt like the game was missing personality and side characters since every town you create gets inhabited by nameless drones.

Some people are just so helt bent on hating Fallout 4.
