I reckon this'll be the game that makes me play my PS4.
Don't get me wrong I played GTA5 a lot but I'd already done it on my 360.
(Far Cry can get lost though, was way too hard and boring.)

Getting it on PC here, cheaper and mods where such a big part of Fallout 3 and Skyrim
Mod support's due for consoles as well, I think. And you'll have to pay for them.
Looking at something like this, depending on what the final perk list looks like:
I'll be playing on very hard from the get go, so Agility (for VATS) and Luck (for critical chance/hits - however that works in this version) need to be high. Strength is 6 to be able to take the strong back perk at level 2, Perception as 5 as the enemy markers on the map being reasonably visible is vital on that difficulty, with Charisma and Intelligence looking a bit pointless and Endurance the balancing number.
Oh and while I can't take the 10th off, I have got the 11th and 12th. Game on.
Although, having said that, if you can build a settlement/get access to safe storage fairly early on I might dump strength too and go for max VATS and 7 in luck instead.
Do stats really change the gameplay that much?
I'm a twit
They definitely change how manageable it is playing it on very hard.
EDIT: They were probably more important on Fallout 3 though due to the level cap, which this doesn't have.
Getting close now.
27 versions?
Thank Christ. That could have spawned a (tedious) rant.There will be 27 different ways for you to buy a standard copy of Fallout 4 on November 10. No, this isn't another Watch Dogs pre-order chart situation - the game just has nine regional versions and three supported platforms.
Who's got the cheapest PS4 preorder? I'm not to fussy about it arriving a day early or whatever, cos I'll only start it on the 14th.
I'm a twit
The cash ins have started....

They must've done Nuka Cola at some point. Man, I hate most of Gamespot's output.
It's available for pre-order, the cash in started a while ago.
They've never done Nuka Cola.
We're now under two weeks away.

Pre-ordered last night, 9-11th Nov booked off
Where am I most likely to get this a day or two early..
Especially when you consider than 7Up is regularly covered in Halo and Destiny players on the can. You'd think that'd be a way better marketing ploy than '17 year old who's good at Halo'Originally Posted by Yevrah
Ordered, weirdly I actually have an unplanned day off on release day!
You lucky bastard.
If I had the 10th off, I'd get home from work on the 9th, go straight to bed, hit the alarm for midnight and play for about 10 hours straight. Quick power nap and then back on it about lunchtime.
I'm waiting for Tesco to deliver it, but I'm going to stock up on supplies and go balls deep into it. Red bull FTW.
What difficulty will you play on Raoul?
Not sure. I generally don't go in for your kind of mega tough runs and just stick with the default.
Generally upping the difficulty just increases the time and I don't have much of that.
From what we've heard so far I'm pretty sure it'll be an absolute piece of piss on normal though, so might be worth bearing that in mind.
Hard might be a good compromise if you can't be fucked with the slog of Very Hard.
Also got to wait for the delivery, I hate relying on my xbox to actually work enough to download anything.
It just decides to fuck about, and I imagine on the 10th the servers will be madness.
I did consider going to a midnight launch somewhere, but I'd rather just get my shit done in the morning and cream myself when postie rings the doorbell.
So I've watched a few gameplay videos and have now booked off the 11th and 12th too.
Are there new ones out Dem?
Hadn't watched any as I didn't want to spoil it for myself, I just watched a 22 min gameplay video someone had posted, it was probably months old.
Any linkage? I haven't seen that.
It's times like these I wish I had a system that would play brand new games.
Just realised it's the E3 footage, but it's here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVOyMuT4mHE
Don't know if this has been posted too, the big leagues perk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z0W3hbrzxA
Some early game screenshots have leaked from some Spanish arse who's already playing it.

Nothing at all spoilery if you've already seen the E3 stuff.
Loads of leaked stuff here.

Not too spoilery, but obviously read at your own risk.
It sounds absolutely fucking amazing.
Staying well away.
Is this the most excited you've ever been for a game, Yev?
I think all things considered it probably is. Certainly the most I've been since I was an actual child.
I don't know what the most excited I've ever been for a game would be. There may be a thread in it though.
Will you be on this Ian?
All the perks and ranks leaked.
http://www.techtimes.com/articles/10...k-revealed.htm
Not really a spoiler as you'll be able to see it as soon as you start the game.
There's some sort of hardcore mode in the game too.
What sort of mug buys the pip boy edition of the game at £200!
Not at whatever the early doors price is and no doubt once I do play it it'll go the way of over Beth-developed games where I'll be in love with it for two or three weeks and then instantly lose interest and never return to it. I don't know why this happens but it does.
I will definitely, 100% be buying it at some point but having bought Oblivion, Fallout 3 and then Skyrim on or near release this one will be waiting.
Saw a bus stop ad for this. I must stay strong. GOTY edition, perhaps.
I've spent most of today at work searching the net for as much information about this as possible. Cannot wait for Tuesday.
Despite the post above, I'm surprised I'm not more keen for this than I am.
Even though it's still what feels like fucking ages away I think Mankind Divided is dominating my what-I'm-looking-forward-to at the moment.
As someone who has never played this series (aside from 10 minutes of Fallout New Vegas), how comparable to Skyrim is it? It's seems a bit more complex (what with VATS and all the different junk you can do stuff with. Is it easy to jump into without any prior knowledge of the series like I did with Skyrim?
Yeah, you'll be fine.
I'm starting to get proper excited about this now. Admittedly the last time I did that it was Rome II: Total War, so perhaps I really should be taking a lesson and setting expectations low to avoid disappointment.
CJay - I'd actually say Fallout is simpler than Skyrim, what with not having magic and shouts and suchlike. Guns make everything simpler, and VATS is entirely optional (it's basically just there for those that want to feel like they are playing an RPG). The story will be standalone, so you'll be good to jump straight in.
Sounds promising. Cheers. Will most likely wait until Christmas or after. Games are so expensive on release.
Yep, complicated stuff might be the sheer scale of modding weapons/armour and building settlements, but as both of those features are new we'll all be in the same boat.
Build your own character here.
