[Sevenfold]

Subbed and ready.

Oh please can we keep it shit free?!

 

[aravuus]

Little tip, click the header before you start reading.

Should've added a small red "(click me for optimal OT experience)" text there lol

 

[Screaming Meat]

Nice OT, OP.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Bland subtitle. 3/10.

 

[El-Suave]

My bod is ready! After missing out on Skyrim due to the PS3 debacle I can't wait to get back into another Bethesda RPG.

 

[UltraGunner]

I get Fallout 4 at the beginning of a week long vacation

I will definitely use that time productively

 

[Vex_]

Fallout 3 came out when I was 11 and it's been 7 long years my body is ready

Holy shit you child! I feel ancient now!

 

[Alethebeer]

Should've put OT in an e-mail tag just for fun.
Good job and thanks. Happy isolation to everyone!

Your breakdown is full of flaws. It supposes the actual gameplay isn't going to be problematic and therefore also provoke whining.

GREAT OT!

Me too. I've stocked up on food and drink (and jet to keep me awake).

 

[Yabberwocky]

Goddam you, OP, I'd literally just gotten that bloody song out of my head today. Damn. You.

Wonderful OT, though!

 

[Krappadizzle]

So glad a new Fallout is here. Work couldn't end soon enough.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Funny that you should say that. I originally had a mini-puzzle hidden in e-mail tags, but I ultimately removed it because it felt redundant.

 

[FreeQuebec86]

Dog glitch #2. Free-Falling!

So much hhhhype! I have watched too much stream of it, i'm ready!

 

[Horseticuffs]

My brother is getting me this for Christmas. Totally stoked! I put hundreds of hours into 3 and NV.

 

[TBiddy]

Man, I am so hyped. I need to take a day off I think and play the hell out of this game. Definitely going for the PC version, since I think it'll run better than on my XB1.

 

[Cairnsay]

Anyone in the EU had the PS4 pre-load go live for them?

 

[Despera]

So can I get rid of the dog?

 

[NeatoKuni]

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.

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.

thanks! i'll be sure to pick this up as soon as I finish the Uncharted Collection!

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.

I do that in most games already, haha.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I'm pretty interested in what the reviews will say.

 

[xkramz]

i wanna VPN but they said i gotta leave my pc on all day after i VPN which suck*

That shit is an almost guaranteed ban on gaf, so hurry up and edit your post.

Umm... was there a need for the homophobic slur?

edit*: my bad for that slur bros, im from nyc and slang here are so loose.

 

[WITHE1982]

I've never been so hyped for a Review Thread before. It's gonna be a bloodbath!

What time does the embargo lift? tnx

 

[SliChillax]

This excites me.

 

[Bradach]

With my interest in Destiny currently waning I have high hopes for fallout.

I've always enjoyed their post-apocalyptic atmosphere more than others for some reason.

At least here with 4, all that junk can go towards building things! Buffout and my companion have helped carry a ton of stuff.

If you're not buying digital from a US PSN account, you're doing it wrong. Its just so much more expensive in EU.

 

[danowat]

I'm pretty interested in what the reviews will say.

Yeah, me too.

I've already heard a few people from a few outlets saying that they are busting to get their review out there.

Which means it's either going to be very, very good, or pretty bad..........

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

I've said it once and ill say I again. Tho review thread is going to be one for the ages either way it goes.

 

[Denzar]

C'mon Kinguin. Where's my fucking code. Ordered it weeks ago, still haven't received it...

Friend ordered it last week, received the code on Saturday...

 

[RulkezX]

i wanna VPN but they said i gotta leave my pc on all day after i VPN which is gay.

Really?

OT - Can't wait to get home tonight and play it, Halo and CoD will go back in the drawer for the next month.

 

[Klyka]

C'mon Kinguin. Where's my fucking code. Ordered it weeks ago, still haven't received it...

Friend ordered it last week, received the code on Saturday...

With Kinguin,you should never expect to get the code earlier than the actual release day.

If you want to get keys for games you can VPN early, you should go with GMG or cdkeys.com

 

[N.A]

Umm... was there a need for the homophobic slur?

Like this? :lol

 

[GavinUK86]

Vault Boy approves!

I am so ready for my Pip-Boy Edition tomorrow.

Maybe the key resellers key is from Funstock which were delayed until today, haha.

 

[Disxo]

Nice OT, I hope we have another thread for the graphics because the previous gold one had almost nothing of it and felt good that there was actual discussion.

 

[Philippo]

My delivery got moved to tomorrow...

 

[mitchman]

I got this in Saturday, so I have to ask other people playing this:

Spoiler

Is it just me, or is the game really hard? Game seems harder on normal than other games I've tried, but I'm not an expert so I went down to the Easy level.
Secondly, does anyone else thing that settlement building stuff is a burden, particularly since I run out of storage space on my so quickly, having to dump stuff I really need. I've seen you can store in various places around the game, does those items show up in the workshop later?

 

[KZXcellent]

What time does the embargo lift? tnx

3 hours from now.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Won't I miss a lot of stuff including ammunition if I don't do that?

 

[Nere]

Why isn't the preload up for EU PSN? The game launches in less than 12 hours.

[LifEndz]

Had so much fun with fallout 3 and wish I had played new Vegas. Can't wait to get lost in this world. One of the first games I played where your character skills really matter.

 

[Auto-Reply]

I wasn't really serious

Fallout 3 to me was a scavenger simulator, if you are not doing this then you are playing the game wrong.

Spoiler

Just imo of course

Not really spoilers, but just in case:

Spoiler

I've played on Hard and Normal. Definitely ramps up pretty hard after that first mission out of the Vault.

I find myself running out if ammo quite often.

Settlement stuff is a good time once you get multiple settlements and unlock the Local Leader perk which allows you to set supply routes between them. I have 8 settlements, all connected back to Sanctuary so I can dump all the junk I pickup into any of those workshops and be able to push it to where I need it.

 

[Kaversmed]

I read somewhere that subtitles on the PS4 version are broken - is this a wide spread problem for people or just an instance?
