I want to play this upcoming game really a lot!

Are you sure? Are you aware that the graphics aren't what many consider..."good" ? Are you still sure?

The game might be bad for all we know, are you really sure? The game might get below average reviews, and you would be spending money on something which might disappoint you.

Are you truly sure you want to play Fallout 4 mate? You need to think about these things before you make big decisions in your life.

Just looking out for you mate (to be sure)

xxx luv u

Just had the big twist in the story spoiled for me. Someone put it in a gif that was meant to be gameplay but switched to big bold text that ruined the game. Aww man.

That's awful.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Ugh, the wait is killing me -_-

Why do they never release on friday, just in time for the motherfucking weekend when you know... we have TIME.

 

[DrKelpo]

Reddit but heard someone did a similar thing on 4chan too. Don't click anything!

i feel sorry for you, i really do... but at this point everybody should know, that you can't visit these websites before a game launch.

After 800 or so "this game looks like crap, it's like a last gen game, oh my god, I'm gonna pass, bethesda's a joke, blah blah, etc" type posts before the OT even exists, I'm pretty sure we don't need to encourage more people to shitpost the game's graphics. I know that won't be the OT, but just sayin'.

But like you said, those people already posted their thoughts, I don't think a funny title like that would actually encourage people that much. I took a quick glance through the DA II thread someone linked earlier and it seemed fine, considering the OP.

There will be some shitposters no matter what the title is, and they'll get buried under the countless hype posts. Unless you feel obligated to reply to every "looks like FO3" post to point out that it's a) their opinion and b) a terrible opinion, it wouldn't be a problem.

Just got my game (PC retail) and I cant play because it uses Steam for the download and that does not activate it until Monday.
Should have done more research before getting excited.

 

[Takuan]

Is there any post-creation character editing... hair, beard, etc.? Just curious if they're still locking you in to eary choices for the entire game again.

If you're on PC, I have to imagine showracemenu 1 will still be a thing.

Eh, I say give up on the OT being an echo chamber for positivity, and if anything I think the title would reduce the amount of shitposting; there'd probably be less "but the graphics tho" posts.

"Gamebryo. Gamebryo never changes" ought to be the OT title.

I'm sorry.

Lol, perfect.

I have the ps4 version but I'm scared to open it - guess will wait to see digital foundry

From what I've heard the framerate, if that's what you're worrying about, is pretty stable (30fps) although it will drop a bit when entering new areas but it goes away after a while. Nothing crazy. Other than that the game runs at 1080p. Other areas of performance I don't know much about. That's just what I've read and I haven't played the game. Just thought I'd share with you. If I were you I'd just start playing no matter what.

Here you go.

This is fucking AMAZING lolol

 

[Bedameister]

Running into a lot of issues with item weight restrictions. Does anybody else who has the game know of any early-game item storage options? I haven't touched the settlement stuff, not really my thing, but it seems like that might be an option.

I store all my stuff at the gas station right at the beginning

Just had the

big twist in the story spoiled for me.

I said this in a thread for another game, but I think even saying this is too much. I'm not too bothered because it's Fallout but it isn't a pre-requisite that every story has one of those, so even saying that Fallout 4's does is something I think should be avoided. Doesn't bother me but I could see the expectation of that changing someone's experience.

When is Digital Foundry expected to put up their analysis? Monday or later in the week?

Are we allowed to talk about builds here still?

 

[iddqd]

Lol, perfect.

Where can one find this?

 

[EricTheCleric]

What's wrong with NMM now? Haven't played Skyrim on PC a while and uninstalled all my mods a few months ago. Recently decided to take a look and I notice it uses the same virtual system used by Mod Manager. Doesn't it work, or something?

It updated without information on what the update really did. Updated version will uninstall and then reinstall mods. Unfortunately the updated version crashes everytime during this process and now the games do not work.

I just lost hours, if not days, of gameplay and time installing mods. I have no faith whatsoever in the developers of NMM after this.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Lol @fuckboi capital.

Fallout 4 |OT|: Fuckboi Capital wasteland

Um no because Boston is not the "Fuckboi Capital"

 

[Hands of Stone]

So since Nexus Mod Manager apparantly has turned to utter shite recently, what Mod Manager will be available for Fallout 4?

Mod Organizer is pretty good, a bit more technical know how is required to use it but not so much.

Well, I'm glad I didn't buy that. To be honest I only wanted the caps!

Where can one find this?

Amazon.co.uk. UK only. US has Nuka-cola.

 

[WetTreeLeaf]

lol "Fallout Beer" out of all the cool things to call it they went with this

 

[SliChillax]

I did it fine this morning in the UK. Try quitting Steam and starting again. Maybe Steam's being hit hard with the pre-loads? Unlikely but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

Tried so many times, still nothing. It's stuck at 18.9gb

4chan is seriously the last place you ever want to go before a big game release if you're trying to avoid spoilers.

For those playing, is there a place early in the game where you can permanently store items?

Just preordered it for the xbone. Yas.

Yes. Actually very early.

While reading some YouTube comments today I seen someone talking about a NeoFag commuity so I looked it up and seen that its basically a community reddit allows that's full of old Gafers who was banned and others who hold some hate towards our community after seeing that I think I am going to remove myself from the reddit community on the PS4.

I think I saw a streamer doing this, I could be wrong though as I just randomly went into the stream and then left right away lol.

if someone openly put spoilers in here without a tag they would be destroyed

 

[Ushay]

DO we have any info on companions ie what they look like and where they can be found? Spoiler tags of course.

Plus any info on Survival difficulty.

Man I cannot wait for Tuesday!

 

[Starfield]

No because there are still some "people" who think they can post ingame screens of the game and complain how bad it looks despite it being a spoiler (even if they don't count it as one...it still is a spoiler.)

 

[bigmac996]

Thanks for the tip! Gonna go do that. Didn't even know you could store things there.

Like what spoilers? If enviroments are a spoiler to you then dont go into a thread about leaked gameplay mate

It's better now though than it was. Two days ago or so I had to leave the thread because of all the spoilerish pics. Not so much anymore.

It's relatively safe. You might get the occasional in-game image with no context from people playing it already, but any big spoilers have been moved to the spoiler thread.

DO we have any info on companions ie what they look like and where they can be found? Spoiler tags of course.

Plus any info on Survival difficulty.

Man I cannot wait for Tuesday!

Not really. Only companions we have seen so far are the dog and Piper.

It's pretty safe before a game is out, however do be wary in OTs since sometimes some gaffers either forget or are obnoxious and don't spoiler tag something while they and others are playing the game. Someone being a big asshole and posting huge spoilers purposefully on a thread before something is out is very rare though.

 

[Darryl M R]

Just want to confirm, can we discuss builds? I have some thoughts I would like to discuss but I'm not sure if it is appropriate here anymore. A lot of information is out about playstyles (not gameplay spoiler just how certain weapons or builds handle in game) and I would like to know others' opinions.
