Mamoru Oshii Says He Has 10,000+ Hours in Fallout 4, Playing as a Lone Wolf

VATS‑assisted combat with solitary exploration keeps him returning years after release.

Overview

  • In a Ghost in the Shell 30th‑anniversary interview highlighted by IGN Japan, the director called Fallout 4 his favorite game and estimated more than 10,000 hours across Steam and earlier PlayStation play.
  • He outlined self-imposed rules: skip the main quest, avoid all factions and settlement building, and travel only with Dogmeat.
  • He said the VATS system lets less twitch‑reliant players succeed, which he credits for the game’s long-term pull.
  • He described aggressively targeting the Brotherhood of Steel, even stockpiling their empty power armor suits at his Red Rocket base.
  • Coverage from Dexerto and PC Gamer notes the playtime total is self-reported across platforms rather than verified by platform data.
