Zoya Posted November 9, 2015 Share #52 Posted November 9, 2015 So much hype for Fallout 4 that we're pissing off the rest of the board Even the hype is radioactive. Guess it's a good idea to play some Half-Life. Link to comment
allgivenover Posted November 9, 2015 Share #53 Posted November 9, 2015 One person is hardly the rest of the board. I'm interested in playing this game eventually, but I've learned my lesson when it comes to Bethesda's bug riddled launches a long time ago. Also I don't pay full price for games anymore. I'll wait for some sort of sale and then jump. Link to comment
Sig Posted November 9, 2015 Share #54 Posted November 9, 2015 It looks fun, but I'm likely waiting 6-12 months to allow time for bug fixes, mods, and DLC materials. Plus it's hard to peel away from FFXIV because RP has been so much fun lately! Link to comment

Dravus Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share #56 Posted November 9, 2015 I plan to go to bed early tonight. The game is due to arrive at some point tomorrow - so hopefully that'll be in the morning rather than the afternoon or evening. With nothing to distract me tomorrow and a good night's rest tonight I think I can count on playing it for most of the day. I've stocked up on healthy snacks and water too...so bar any unforeseen circumstances I'm good to go! Link to comment
Lost River Posted November 9, 2015 Share #57 Posted November 9, 2015 Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, new FFXIV Content. . . and then Star Wars next week? Bye bye social life! Link to comment
Lost River Posted November 9, 2015 Share #59 Posted November 9, 2015 When I get out of work tonight, I go right on over to pick mine up at the store. It is that convenient for the first time ever. Link to comment
Branson Thorne Posted November 9, 2015 Share #60 Posted November 9, 2015 So how do you plan on playing for the first time? Do you plan on just making choices as you would if it was you in the game? Do you come up with a character concept and RP the game out? Do you maybe just jump in and wing everything as it comes up? What character type are you leaning towards? Link to comment

My first playthrought I'll probably be a saint. I played NV like, 8 times, but I never did a single Legion playthrought and that's a fact I am proud. I'm kind of a puss to be a horrible person in vidya gaems. After my first playthroughts, I'll take more "immersive" playthroughts like I always do. Link to comment
Dravus Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share #62 Posted November 9, 2015 I kept wanting to try out playing the bad guy in Fallout 3 & New Vegas but I never managed to bring myself to actually go through with it. I generally prefer playing the 'good guy' or a more morally grey character rather than the sort who just goes around doing really horrific things for the sake of doing really horrific things.

Oroban Posted November 9, 2015 Share #63 Posted November 9, 2015 Five hours and fifty one minutes until it unlocks. I'm eating, taking a nap, and then I have a row of energy drinks waiting for me. I work tomorrow, but I'll survive. Somehow. Link to comment
Nero Posted November 10, 2015 Share #64 Posted November 10, 2015 Thank lordy for Australian VPNs. Now to spend the next nine hours creating a character. Link to comment

CrimsonMars Posted November 10, 2015 Share #66 Posted November 10, 2015 PS4 version's gonna suck... Welp, now I know what I'm gonna do all day tomorrow. Link to comment
Aaron Posted November 10, 2015 Share #67 Posted November 10, 2015 Wing everything . Best way to go about it. Link to comment
Makyn Loneseeker Posted November 10, 2015 Share #68 Posted November 10, 2015 My first game I'm gonna go in and shoot all he bad guys. Second run through might RP a marksman rifle guy... Link to comment
Oli! Posted November 10, 2015 Share #69 Posted November 10, 2015 As far as builds go I usually go for Science, Lockpicking, and Energy-Weapons, in that order. My offense isn't the best but thanks to Science and LP I can get into all the game's secret rooms and shit. Link to comment
Makyn Loneseeker Posted November 10, 2015 Share #70 Posted November 10, 2015 10 MINUTES. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS. Link to comment

Dravus Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share #72 Posted November 10, 2015 My copy is due to arrive between 8am and 8pm. It's currently 7:30am. Hopefully it'll be delivered sooner rather than later! Link to comment
Branson Thorne Posted November 10, 2015 Share #73 Posted November 10, 2015 How do you all like it so far? I've yet to play it, real life keeps getting in the way! Link to comment
Dravus Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share #74 Posted November 11, 2015 How do you all like it so far? I've yet to play it, real life keeps getting in the way! It's pretty amazing so far. Everything I hoped for and more. Character creation is very in-depth though I went for the default look for my guy since I liked his look and it let me enter the game much quicker. I won't spoil anything, naturally, but the quests I've done so far have been great too. Link to comment
Coda Posted November 11, 2015 Share #75 Posted November 11, 2015 They cleaned up a lot of the issues I had with FO3 and NV. Combat feels good, and there's actual enemy variety now. Yao Gaui aren't just bigger, reskinned molerats anymore and Deathclaws aren't just slightly altered Ghouls. Everything attacks you differently instead of just bee-lining at you. The animation work is really great; human enemies and companions will use cover as if there were a cover system. Ferals will literally dive at you and crash into the ground in a roll, and Deathclaws zigzag or toss things. The AI still isn't perfect, but its leagues better. The crafting is just amazing without being tedious or intimidating. The new Special system is... very different, but not strictly bad, and a lot less frustrating. Its much easier to plan than before if you're into that sort of thing. Thanks to level restrictions, the game will stay balanced longer, at least until you get to 40-50 and you start capping Perks and Stats. Overall, I'm impressed. This feels like a much better leap than ES4 to Skyrim was. Link to comment
