SirSmUgly Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Remember, people: It's a Bethesda game. Multiple saves are important. (No specific spoilers, BTW). Save your game liberally, friends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Anyone that needs to be told to set up multiple saves in a roleplying game in 2015 should be on a possible alien observer watch list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Reviews are coming in and most are glowing (green). The most critical one so far from RPGamer (huh?) says this in summation: Fallout 4 just feels safe, even when trying new things. The addition of a voiced main character limits the depth of choice too much to be worth the payoff. The warring factions you have to choose from force you down a path that offers no good middle ground to say "screw it, I don't want to support any of you." They all have different ideologies, but the outcome for each is just too similar. As such, the main storyline overcomplicates itself into irrelevance instead of becoming a complex web of intrigue like other games in the series have offered. If all you are looking for is more Fallout, with tons of areas to explore and lots of side quests to complete, there is plenty of that here, but be warned that they are not the same deep, entertaining quests offered by the past two games. The Telegraph's review says the complete opposite: Choices are not binary here - there is no karma system. Instead of deciding whether to decimate a whole town for a laugh or not, some of the murkier choices have something else hanging over them. It is very difficult at times to tell the difference between right and wrong. ... If you’ve been waiting for Fallout 4, it will simultaneously meet your expectations and exceed them in others. Who would have thought a Fallout game would convince us of Bethesda’s storytelling and shooter credentials? In a year full of brilliant open-world games like The Witcher 3, it manages to stand apart from the crowd and deliver something that feels fresh, despite its familiar foundations.

The Man Known as Dan Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Also, I'm going to give "Status Reports" of basically what my character did in that playthrough on that given day. Will be spoilered obviously. But just the things I've done, perks I've chosen, and what not. Also, FUCK YES FALLOUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Watching Reddit be flabergasted and trying to pick apart every positive review for this game has been entertaining btw. "It doesn't look good, therefor it must suck! Ignore that the most succesful game of teh last 10 years is fucking Minecraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Am I the only one who's struggled to not constantly think about Fallout 4 all day? That's been me for a week.

RIPPA Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Anyone know what the install size is (specifically for the One)? I am still pretty sure I am just going to install it, take way too long creating a character and then not playing it till the first patch comes out.

Red is Dead Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 on steam the whole install is 24gb. on console - no clue. no word about a day 1 patch though. Last quote I saw was Day 1 patch was 500MB That *could* be the activation of the pre-load. original steam install was 23.8gb, which increased to 24gb last night. Colleague of mine said the last bit was released at midnight...like i said, *could* be the day 1 patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
