Fallout 4

Ah right. The thread has a rather generic title though, lol

[BTGBullseye]

True... That's why some of us came here to try and discuss it instead, so as to remove as much of the unfounded hostility as possible.

It didn't work. It did not work.

So hey guys, bit of news. Apparently the press copies of the game have been released, so for the next two weeks, be careful about spoilers.

 

Although given how surprisingly little we know about the game, I'd have to wonder how much you can really spoil, since we don't even have the smallest shred of context for the game.

Still, stay safe. Stay vigilant.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yep, use spoiler tags.

 

It didn't work. It did not work.

Pssht, always so negative?

Oh, I wasn't even referring to just here. I mean just about anywhere.

For instance, the achievements have already been released, and apparently do contain spoilers (which fortunately I wasn't privy to).

That said, you should be fine if you just avoid major communities for the Fallout series for the next two weeks.

Really wish I didn't have to, though. I'm really jonesing for the hype....

[Seattleite]

My "It didn't work." Was aimed at BTG's comment.

Why not? There's no rule that says we can't be negative if we want!

Check it out.

[BTGBullseye]

Preloading is now open for Fallout 4. Get your preorder copy now so you don't get slowed down on launch day. (only 3 days to go)

[Alyxx Thorne]

Preloading it

[Descriptor]

I was a sucker who got the Pip-boy edition, so now I gotta wait for Amazon to move their hinders and get it shipped to me.

I was kinda hoping to get it Monday so I could play it that night, but it looks like Tuesday for me.

 

Plus, all that loading. Gah!

 

Oh well, I'll just have to take Wednesday off work instead...

[BTGBullseye]

Grats on getting the Pip-boy edition! It was sold out before I got my copy of the game... (besides, my phone is too big for the arm device)

 

Only 7 hours till it unlocks! (now to install the Android companion app)

Thanks, although I'm almost slightly regretting it since I won't get to even start downloading it until tomorrow night.

Man, getting through work tomorrow is gunna be awful. Luckily, I have Wednesday off.

 

Assuming that the bloody thing ever ships, since it still hasn't done so yet.

 

Also, TFW your name isn't on Codsworth's name list.

 

Gordon Freeman is, though.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Got my mind blown when Codsworth called me Miss Thorne.

And now to finally play Fallout 4. Thankfully, I preloaded so I don't have to wait hours to play... Huh, little... Update. Guess I should have seen that coming. And it's going to take... Hours. I still have to wait hours to play.

 

Well, at least it's a single-digit number of hours. It wouldn't have been if I waited until now to buy it... That's a positive. It took TWO DAYS to preload on my shitty internet.

 

Quit reminder to Fallout 4 haters: Fallout New Vegas was awesome. I had to wait SIX WEEKS after I bought it in order to play it. This little delay is meaningless.

I know the feeling.

I still don't even have the game yet, let alone any sort of pre-load or anything.

And from the sound of it, I might not even get it until tomorrow, even ignoring download time.

 

I'm jonsing, man. It aint right!

[GrooveWindow]

I get my copy delivered Saturday. I'm beyond pumped. And the time will go by quickly because Monday Night Combat comes to Xbox One and I'll be wasting my time on that

[Icebox]

I plan to get Fallout 4 later, when the special edition with all the dlc comes out, which is what I did with Skyrim.

[Descriptor]

So I finally got it after wasting half of my day off waiting for it. Turns out that Fed Ex Express takes longer than regular Fed Ex.

And man you won't believe the trouble I had to go through just to play it.

 

So once I downloaded it, first thing was that it kept crashing on startup.

But that was a quick fix, just download new graphics drivers. Easy.

 

Next, it recommended Ultra graphics. Sweet. So I start playing, have a fun time, spend an hour in character creation, and then bam. Computer shuts down mysteriously.

I freak out, because it won't turn back on, and I'm terrified that something got fried. Long story short, it was just a simple overheat, and it worked after a few minutes. No big deal. So I turn down the graphics to merely High and continue on my way.

 

Well, not much longer after that, the power goes out. For like half the city.

It was at this point that I began to think that someone, or perhaps some thing, didn't want me playing this game.

 

Anyway, once the power came back on, I spat in the face of the cosmos and continued playing on my merry way, ready to brave any sort of disasters or nuclear Armageddons likely to show up next. Thankfully, nothing new has happened yet.

 

As for actually playing the game, I've played for about 5 hours now, and have barely left the starting area. It's honestly kinda overwhelming, and I'm a bit off my groove since enough mechanics have changed that I can't rely on old habits anymore.

So it's pretty fun as a new experience.

Also, I am really enjoying the new radio DJ in this game. He hasn't given many news announcements, yet, though....

And surprisingly, I've been hearing a lot of repeat music already, which is weird, considering they really upped the song count in this game.

Ah well, 5 hours isn't really enough to judge. I'll come back with a new update in another 50.
