Yep. But they also say it's not really worth it yet, the differences weren't all that big. But sadly they didn't compare it for some more recent games. I'd be curious how much faster the loading times in Witcher 3 are on Xbox One with an SSD.

Well that article was from 2014, when XBO got support for external drives. It's possible that things have improved since through XBO patches and external drives give better boost now, but I couldn't find any more up to date tests. TBH I was surprised to see how little affect SSD had on loading times in XBO.

Can't wait for the traditional 80 Bethesda patches to keep this thing from catching fire.

So, Day 1 confirmed?

What I found weirder was that cod ghosts had massive improvements using ssd when nothing else did :/

Also shrivelling up in the wait for fallout T_T
 
This is probably a beaten horse, but I would applaud Bethesda if the reason for the "modest" leap in graphics is to prioritize optimization and QA revising. Crossing fingers for a solid launch!


If they were to have loot/boss built in and allow access that script extenders allow and fix up the scalability, I'd fucking die.
 
I prefer the beer we're getting in the UK. They know the UK is full of drunks. Wasn't there a perk where if you got drunk you got tougher? Or is that just me?

Bah. Beer tastes like puke to me so I'm fine with what we're getting (Jones Soda is also actually pretty good).

Not sure if this was posted, but real Nuka-Cola Quantum (made by Jones Soda) will be sold in stores the day before.

Target will be carrying it.

Want! Bethesda knows its fans are suckers I swear. And it works cause I saw this on reddit while at work and already had my mind on how I was going to grab some either before work or hopefully not soon after I leave.
 
Long time coming, but I'm retired now and my birthday is right around the 10th. The game will be a gift from my wife and she knows I'll be incommunicado for a few days. How great is that? I get the game as a gift, chance to play uninterrupted, an understanding mate, no need to take off work and I only had to get old first. Oh, yeah, and my first SS check comes too.

Don't jinx it.
 
Man this is going to be a long two weeks.

Less than two weeks. It was two weeks on Tuesday.

No scaling of any kind. Enemies in zone A are level X, in B they are level Y etc. and will always be those. No matter what level player is.

Eh... not quite. They said they "rubberband" (That's the word they used anyways)... so there will be areas that will be too hard for you at first but enemies should level up with you once you are at the level or higher set in those areas. I got the impression though the enemies will only level up so much in each area so eventually areas will get easy once you reach above a certain level in the area.

I must have been lucky with my copy of Fallout 3 then, cause only after 150 or so hours it froze. I then cleared the cache on my 360 and I was ready to go. Barely any other issues after that. Same with Skyrim. New Vegas........ Not so much.. Good lord the countless of times it froze on me.

The way BGS has handled Fallout 4 in terms of announcing and releasing the same year, and the fact the game apparently was pretty much finished during E3 should mean that they have squashed a lot of bugs.

I like the sound of that. Reminds me of New Vegas where I took the wrong path and.... Oh hello mister Deathclaw with a waaaaay too high level.

That sounds really nice. My birthday is on the 11th and I don't want to do anything but sit in front of the TV all day.

So Internet has given me false information, shocker. If it works like describe it's still way better than what they used for FO3 and Skyrim. I never liked whole "Scales to player level and when player enters zone it locks enemies to level X" system.
 
Why is it when these sites do unboxings they are so fucking rough with shit. Really no point sending them a pip boy edition anyway, its not like consumers can go out and buy it. Long since sold out over here.

Well, I'm sure they want to make a good impression as well. Send a person reviewing the game a boring game case, or a huge collector case with a pipboy inside?
 
I preordered the PS4 LE, but my wife will be playing this too and she prefers the XBO controller.

There isn't supposed to be a difference between PS4 & XBO, right?

I want to buy a PC key from GMG while it's still 23% off.

I think they described it like, areas have a minimum and maximum level range. So one area might be Levels 30-40. So yeah, if you enter at level 5 good luck. If you enter at level 35, the enemies will match you at 35.

I agree. The Elder Scrolls scaling is super lame. I like the idea of exploring being dangerous. Oh that looks like a cool area I have never been to. I'm level 20, nothing can stop me! Yeah well, explore at your own risk, because there could be a level 50 mob right around the corner! The way the wasteland should be.
 
You're going to be popular and hated at the same time in about a week!
I know, you should have seen the amount of shit I got on here when I got MGSV early, I posted a pic of the case, poster and title screen and was called every name under the sun, for "showing off" even though I was asked to do so. the guy even took to PM's lol.

I hope mods cracked down on some of that shit :/

I will appreciate it a lot if you score early copy and share final SPECIAL + Perk layout, with perk descriptions. Even knowing if we can see perk layout when choosing SPECIAL would go long way.

Well that's not right. I have confidence that Fallout fans are far more classy than that.

Nah, I didn't PM them, I just left him to it and then wound him up a bit in the PM's.

Of course I will, I'll let you all know when I get it and I'll tell you anything you guys want to know! No spoilers from me as well so don't worry about that.

To be fair, the guy who ranted and raved at me just appeared out of nowhere in the community thread and was never seen again lol. But yeah, it was sad tbh, just jealous or something.

On a scale of 1-10 how hyped are you guys?

Seriously, I still have the PM's in my inbox lol, he sent me over 20 of them. Fuck it though, I'm not bothered by it, I just want to enjoy the hype with you guys and probably die from lack of sleep when the game comes :).

Well you're alot kinder than I am. I can't wait for your "I got mines!" Thread and get that perk chart info. (I also know the "s" doesn't go in with mine.)

I would have treated that dude like a child. He would have lost his account by getting banned and lost the privilege to discuss the game in your thread like a adult (gamer).



Edit: why did my phone quote two dudes? Sigh...

In the actual thread I did get a bit angry but I don't like doing that and risking my account that I waited months to get lol. And yep, just ask me what you want to know and I shall tell all I can! :)


Anyway have you got a HTC one? When I had one I had the exact same problem.

Edit: I should have just PM'd the mods really shouldn't I lol.

The little + icon on MobileGAF allows you to quote multiple people, probably hit that by accident.
Or this, why didn't I think of this?

Samsung S5. Yeah I know how to quote people it just did it on its own. Before I post anything on Gaf I read threw it a couple of times because I don't want to loss my account over stupidness. It just kind of popped up after I hit post. My phone is just being weird on Gaf right now.


Edit: for staying on topic sake. Yeah that unboxing video was pretty brutal and hype inducing.
