WHoo hoo! I was waiting for the OT! Good job! Chooo chooo! Hype train off the rail! This will probably keep me busy for the rest of the year.

The thread breakdown:

50% graphics whining
30% FPS whining
15% review whining
5% actual gameplay talk

I don't know exact percentages, but your reply is a prime example of the "meta" that will make up 10% or more, so the other figures can't be right.

Cautiously looking forward to reviews...

I have a feeling this game will be dissapointing in a big way

Also have tomorrow +2 extra days off

Excellent OT!
This is gonna be my first Fallout game. Do I need any prior knowledge before jumping in?

Nope, you will be just fine playing Fallout 4 as your first game. Of course you might miss out on references from previous games but nothing major. Just load it up and have fun.

Not really. You'll just have to run Steam in offline mode until your region's official release after you unlock it. No one has ever been banned for unlocking games early if that's what you meant.
Figured as much. I just wanted to make sure since this is my first time doing it.

Hope the PC version's performance is decent enough.

The game's strength is exploration and going off the beaten path, so don't only focus on the main story and play the game just for that, it's not even part of the core experience judging by past Fallout games. You can play the game in any way you want though so if you do just want to play it linearly that's fine too.

In terms of story, there is no direct continuity between the game regarding stories, if you've played the other games you may come across references to some things but it's not important, just "ah, that's cool" type of references if you notice them.
 
My store better have it ready for pickup first thing in the morning tomorrow, they're still stuck at "processing payment".

I'm just gonna dive right in. Not waiting around for reviews/benchmarks. Surely it can't be any worse than Skyrim on PS3. My PC is just shy of recommended specs so should be fine.

If it's anything like Fallout 3 then don't open any drawer and never look inside trashcans etc for items... you won't be able to stop this behaviour for the rest of the game and it will become the activity you spend the most time with by far.

Great OT! Have my pre-load ready to go on Steam. First Fallout game on PC since Fallout 2. Hype!

Been watching some streams on and off today and have already seen some really cool side quests. Seems like Bethesda upped their game in that regard.

Got this one waiting, it's been a while. Really hope I can find the time to play it through properly.

When do reviews hit?

Too late for that. I am already a

So here's a topic of utmost importance to me, don't laugh. I wanted to recreate a female character from the Release Trailer and found out that I cannot get the proportions right. Can anyone screencap their "squat mom" sliders? I have created something nice, but it's too flat.

At this point I really need me some reviews to be convinced. Mainly to decide what platform to go for.

I love me some couchgaming, but I ain't wondering a choppy wasteland.
