    I am excited for this game.

    Something I just learned is that this game is set in 2287. 10 years after fallout 3 and 5 years after fallout new vegas.

    So with this information in mind I hope we get a reference to Vegas in game.

    I'm broke as **** atm so this one will have to wait. Might as well wait for reviews to pour in and for Bethesda to patch any game breaking bugs while I wait.

    I'm actually pretty excited to endure the horrible Bethesda launch bugs as I've never been able to pick one of their games up early enough to experience them before now. It's a weird feeling.

    That's ok, I'm sure there'll be plenty of bugs left when I get it.

    Interesting. I didn't know that NV took place after FO3. I should go take a look at a wiki I guess. :p

    Love that trailer.

    I enjoyed F3 but every time I played it I could almost see my PS3 sweating its guts out as it ran it!

    While the reviews are positive across the board (Albeit with varying degrees of "It's good/great in spite of the bugs, which are comparable to Skyrim and Fallout 3."), one interesting thing I've noticed is that the reviewers received a copy of the PS4 version of the game, despite the fact that 1. it's a Bethesda title and 2. they were on MS's stage for part of E3. Presumably this will ultimately mean one console version won't be exceptionally buggier than another, which is a nice change of pace.

    I just purchased a PS4 I got Witcher 3 -which is AMAZING- its already making me forget Skyrim-that I still haven't finished:p! I put $5 on StarWars battlefront but I'm leaning towards Fallout4 after hearing the reviews from avid Star Wars fans is a bit disconcerting.

    It is, isn't it?

    EDIT: Copy's en route, hard to say when it'll turn up though.

    Just finished pre-loading FO4. I'll probably mess around with the character creator before I go to sleep tonight and start tomorrow evening.

    I took tomorrow and Wednesday off work to play. I've had it preloaded since Friday but have to wait another... hour and 45 minutes to play.

    Based on Giant Bomb's quick look the settlement stuff is as Hearthfire on steroids as I suspected, and there's Donkey Kong.

    When they find my body in a few weeks, I hope I've at least gotten a decent number of trophies.

    Bethesda is following CDPR's model so closely I half-expect to open my copy when I get home and find some rad stickers. So yeah, here's a thank you letter:

    Sure, it's a soulless corporate goodwill maneuver, but it still feels nice, like a gold star on a drawing or something.

    So, uh, it seems like they only measured iPhones and Galaxies when making the Pip-Boy. They made the hole the right size but they rounded off the internal corners so my phone just won't fit because it has corners that are more square. All this excitement about putting a phone in it and my phone doesn't fit. :_|

    Not. Yet. Arrived.

    Pre-Order guarantee of getting it on release day - my arse!

    Going to have to return to using the Evil Empire instead.

    TBH, I can think of far more wretched and soulless corporate beasts in the vidya game industry. Bethesda seems to play a far different ballgame than its competetion.

    But their quality control, man...I mean, sometimes you get weird glitches that are usually lol worthy. But others that cause crashes where you lose hours of gameplay...much less so.

    So you say the base building in Fallout 4 is Hearthfire on steroids, well that sounds interesting. One of these days I will give Fallout a try, and finish Skyrim with all of the DLC and start doing more specialized characters.

    Well, I'm pretty sure I was done with it after taking down that cheap bastich Ebony Warrior. Afterwards my last Dragonborn retired to relative tranqulity in Hjallamarch Hall with Lydia and their adopted kids. :p
