You sound like we have a vacuum magnet in our characters that requires us to pick up every little thing immediately and haul ass back home when overencumbered. Although that would make a great attitude for a recycling activist... I'm assuming F4's dialogue wheel isn't limited to four options. You take a first answer and that leads into other questions/answers just like previous games. Sure the limit of words for the choices looks a little scary but I think people will adapt to it. Unlikely Bethesda would make you say something entirely different tone-wise than what the preview was hinting at unlike other games that people are using as examples. If they do, then I will admit they f'ed up there. And your final line is where I question the typical 'troll or just stupid' line. :) E: Sleepy brain screwed up Obsidian's companion wheel for dialogue wheel, woops. Even Mass Effect 2 is better and that often has the character say things inappropriate for the choice you made. No one wants vague dialog choices, that's dumb.

Every time I actually decide to peak at leaked gameplay or a stream I switch tabs the moment I see dialogue pop-up to not spoil story information. Just peak back when it looks like random combat gameplay.

Watching 2 hours of gameplay and seeing some heavily compressed screenshot aren't really a solid foundation to bash the game. Sound more like some NMA's biases to me. With that being said, I will not buy the game on day 1. Let them fix all of those game breaking bugs first (honestly, what kind of dev left thousand of bugs for modder to fix?)

Well, tomorrow, Fallout 4 will either suck all of the air outta the (gaming) room, or let out one, big fart.

Review scores are great (9s and 10s everywhere) but not sure how credible they are when you get frequent drops to single digit fps on consoles and the reviewer still gives it a ten? No other games get that kind of free pass, Bethesda is really lucky. EDIT: Or the game is really so great that it doesn't matter? I played Gothic 2 with only 256 MB Ram which means when I was in the biggest town (which was huge for 2002 standards) my fps dropped to like 5. I still had the time of my life :D GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

So nervous. Get to pick up my copy at 11 my time zone tonight. Been spending all weekend looking at posts about people questioning similar outdated laptops. Answers keep swinging between "if you could run skyrim on high/ultra, you should be fine on low settings" to "Nah, you're boned." 12 hours and 20 minutes until I can bring it home and find out.

Apparently, either the reviewer embargo is over, or ZiggyD got to start playing earlier 'cause Australia. Either way, here are FOUR HOURS of game play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT-vZs-H02k And, no, I haven't watched this, yet. Just putting it out there for anyone who might want to. =^[.]^= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/ whiskers =@[.]@= boggled / =>[.]<= annoyed or angry / ='[.]'= concerned / =0[.]o= confuzzled / =-[.]-= sad or sleepy / =[.]= dazzled / =^[.]~= wink / =~[.]^= naughty wink / =9[.]9= rolleyes #FourYearLie	Posted by Raycheetah#7060 on Nov 9, 2015, 1:13:34 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
Got done with some homework and decided to take a break while here on campus. Some asshat posted a direct link to what I assume is the ending spoiler in new /r/fo4 posts. Somehow my reaction time kicked in and recognized that the still picture of the Yao-Guai was weird if being directed to a video and phased out what the bright red letters said that popped up seconds later while hitting the back button. Safe!
