It's taking every ounce of will power to remain on blackout. I've seen the initial trailer but since then have not watched anything save a couple of those SPECIAL videos from Bethesda and read a little in the perk thread.

I am having a hard time over here. Wish I had mom and pops where I live.
 
I'm on blackout now apart from the Review Thread and OT here on GAF, whenever that rolls around. This is going to be a huge 11 days on GAF.

In the exact same boat.
Watched initial trailer and the baseball bat perk. Thats it. Arghhhh buzzing
 
I am happy to chip in another $30 to support the developers and the franchise. The more support they receive, the better the next game will be. I think of it almost as a donation.

a beautiful idea. sadly, it's just an idea.

Anyway, looking on the updated Bethesda store and..

Anyone want $60 pajama pants?
 
I think it's safe to assume they are final to be honest. I don't like them either but I am hoping for a fast mod to sort it out. The UI and the way the dialogue choices are presented is the only thing that we've seen of the game I dislike. I want a mod that exposes the dialogue options in a list format like previous games that aren't vague. I hope the dialogue options aren't going to be the Bioware/Mass Effect issue where the dialogue option is vague and what your character says is quite different and not necessarily exactly what you might have wanted after hearing that + the reaction of NPC. Bethesda seems to have taken a liking to minimal design with the UI, we saw that in Skyrim and I think we're seeing it here again with Fallout.

I just hope Fallout 4 doesn't have an atrocious inventory UI like Skyrim did for PC.

You know it will be atrocious.
 
Someone posted this over at Reddit:

Any guesses on what "Crew" means?

Edit: Nevermind, apparently people are guessing it is just the credits/team.
 
Should I be mad that I just saw the title screen? Maybe I should go full blackout for spoilers sake...

Yes, because that spoils everything.
 
so the ingame fonts and menus arent final right ?

I'm a typographer and I'm not seeing what's so terribly wrong with the font choice. (For those wondering, it's this one.) Very readable and strong, and a good contrast to the blockier, serif-heavy typefaces used in 3.

As for the menus themselves, they're supposed to evoke the color and style of old computer terminals. The "bright-green font on dark-green background" color scheme has been used in every Fallout game.

EDIT: Going back to Fallout 3, the typefaces actually weren't as "serif-heavy" as I remembered. Still an improvement, though, IMO.

Yeah, it's basically a continuation of the monochrome monitor theme. Seems alright to me.
 
I am fully aware that my reaction to seeing the title screen is irrational... I'm just afraid some crazy dude is gonna jump on here and post something worse. Reddit apparently got jacked up with stuff about Halo 5 a few weeks ago

I'm sure any douche doing that on GAF is gonna get cozy with Bish in the back of his lorry.

No worries, you aren't crazy.

I was annoyed at seeing the title screen for The Phantom Pain posted on GAF as an un-spoiler tagged image. There's something about booting up a game and seeing the title screen for the first time.

That said, Fallout 4's title screen looks shit - though it's probably going to be a montage of sorts, so my judgement is probably unfair.
 
My excitement for this game is through the roof. I really can't remember the last time I was this hyped for a game...

Probably has to do with the 500 hours I put into 3 and New Vegas.
 
It's a fucking menu dude. We've seen the Power Armor plenty of times.

Seeing everything the first time is also a part of the fun with games. Sadly, the rise of the internet and social media put an end to being completely surprised.

I would have liked not to see the menu either.
 
Me again, i have another odd question, that maybe you fine fellows and ladies can help me with.

I've got a 23% GMG coupon that runs out tomorrow, should i use it, or take a gamble and wait for a better deal that i'm not sure will come. Thanks

It's easily one of the best possible pre-release offers you are going to get.

The dialogue system is the only reservation i really have regarding this game. Looks great otherwise. But i could do without the guessing mini-game of trying to pick the most fitting option from vague square/wheel whatever. It's the main reason i can't play modern Bioware games anymore, that and the shit writing.
 
Just bought my PC copy off GMG for $46. I hope they get the keys out in advance, I'd hate to be twiddling my thumbs on release day waiting for them to get them out.
 
Bethesda don't do this. With Skyrim we got a trailer, some footage at E3, and then release. Same here. I like it, no hype cycle - this game will live or die by being good or bad.

Buuut the dovahkiin trailer was so über. Maybe next week we see a trailer that is worth it. Comon Beth

They tweeted about this earlier this week. They more or less said that keys will go out moment Bethesda gives them to GMG and gives greenlight on distribution.
