Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game

[hellboy]

It should be miles better than F3. Can you clarify a bit? Does it feel like a proper shooter? (within the framework of an RPG yada yes i know yada)

It's better than F3, but not miles better.

"95% loaded.."

thank Christ. This has taken 3 hours so far to load.

[Calfium Jay]

Nope. Won't run on my PC!!

FUCK OFF!!!!!

[hellboy]

LOL, no problems on mine, it even suggested I use Ultra settings, despite being a few years old (though with a newish graphics card)

[Calfium Jay]

It plays...finally. But not in full screen mode.

[hellboy]

Wierd - have you tried Windowed and Borderless?

^^^ PC Master Race ....

Works like a charm on the XBox One

Might even buy a copy for the PS4 for shits and giggles just to have it in case anything ever happened to the XBox One.

See how that works, having both consoles? Highly useful

Okay so joking aside Cal have you made sure your computer has the proper specs to run Fallout 4???? Do you have a proper gaming machine? You are not an idiot so I can't imagine you would not have checked that but I had to ask.

[Calfium Jay]

Do you have a proper gaming machine? .

Yes and no. But mostly no.

Cal I love ya like a 3rd cousin but why you trying to play Fallout 4 on a shitty pc? You had to know how that was gonna turn out.

So first impressions:

The shooting feels so much better. The game looks great. It is a tad buggy but that is to be expected. I would be playing it non stop if I could just pull myself away from the power and the glory that is Halo 5. Warzone calls out to me. Longshot BR and adapted Promethean style SMG. Oh so much win right there. Those young COD loving bastards might be able to get me in Arena but not in Warzone. That is my house.

It plays 3/4 screen now. Not the best out come but better than nothing.

My PC is one of those things that's just a big fancy looking screen - no PC tower. The computer is inside the screen. Just looks like a flat screen tv. It's not "mine" per se. Belongs to the family. Been meaning to get a really good gaming PC for a while now, but I'd rather spend my money on other things.

It plays every other game I have beautifully though, including Skyrim - which is weird. I wouldn't say F4 is graphically better than Skyrim.

Anyway, back to Skyrim - great game, however every single thing that attacks you is approximately 10,000 times harder to kill than the same thing in Fallout 3.

Even the bloat flies kill me quickly. Even in "easy" mode.

Fuck!!

Combat is certainly harder, though some of the starter weapons seem pretty underpowered. Now that I have a decent gun I seem to be able to hold my own against at least entry level cannon fodder pretty easily.

The shooting certainly is better, and better than my initial assessment I reckon. I'm having a good time with the crafting and settlement stuff as well, both of which are right up my alley.

As to the "core" of the game, so far it's pretty much standard Fallout fare, which works just fine for me.

Where would you rank it in the series order so far?

[hellboy]

Where would you rank it in the series order so far?

I'm going to disregard 1 & 2 as they are really quite different games. As it stands I'd say NV is still the best, with F4 close behind, and F3 being the "worst" (I still really enjoyed that though).

That's the reason why I never take a companion with me in a Bethesda game.

[hellboy]

Sounds like a good reason to get back into Fallout 4:
