Fallout 4 launched worldwide three weeks ago and Steam users have written over 36,000 reviews since then. Some of them are dumb, some of them are insightful, and some of them are hysterical.

It also moves these jokes off to their own section so that customers hoping for actual information on the game in question can actually get it.
