Chiggs better not forget to drag his ass in here tonight and give us some PC impressions. ;)

I'm here. Just a couple more hours. Hopefully there will be others who weigh in, too.
 
Well...My wife said I could go get the game at midnight, so I called up GS to see what was up. AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY NON-PREORDERED COPIES. Fuck I fucking hate fucking gamestop.

That made me chuckle.:lol Don't worry about us, just enjoy the game. We'll be flooded with reviews in due time.

I'm mostly just messing around. Obviously, he can play it as much as he wants and completely ignore GAF. I am really curious about the graphics settings and how it runs, though, as well as the PC interface.
 
I really think I'll end up playing this game more than I did Oblivion. I think I was too hard on the scenery at first - it's starting to grow on me. I wish I would have added some speech skill though.

Go to Wal Mart?
 
How does the game (360 version) use the DVD drive does it pwn it like Fable 2?? In other words does the system load a lot while playing!!??
 
I fucking hate walmart more! :lol

No actually, I like going to midnite releases becuase it's one of the rare occasions I get to talk to videogame dorks in person. I work at a hot rod shop, needless to say no one I deal with there give a damn about games!

I guess now I'll wait for more user impressions before I buy...
 
The Shack News review mentioned quick loading between areas for the PC version; has anyone with the 360 version noted the approximate length of load times?

Under 5 seconds to enter a building, and around 10 seconds in/out of a town.
 
Well the wait is almost over! This game is going to be something else, cant fucking wait any longer.

Hey anyone else preorder from Circuit city?I like to know how the free mini strategy guide is.

Yeah I preordered it on their website. I used the 3 day shipping so I should have it by thursday. I'm sure somebody on GAF will go get it at a B&M Circuit City tomorrow though.

I hope the guide isn't crap. I really don't need it but it'll be a nice bonus :D

I went to pick up LBP tonight from Gamestop, and I spotted the Fallout 3 guide. That thing is fucking massive.

Hopefully there will be a few copies of it when I pick up the game tomorrow. Is the guide exclusive to any place or do they sell it everywhere?
 
I've been reloading this thread all day in anticipation for the release... although I won't be able to play it 'till November 7 -when my CE arrives- :(

How dare they have only a certain physical amount of stock on hand and it's all been taken 2 hours before a highly anticipated midnight launch!

In all seriousness, you can either try a 24-hour Walmart if they have them where you live, or I'm sure everyplace else will have it in the morning.

Cool, I used standard shipping :lol.

I hope the guide is not crap as well :)
 
First thing I had to do was increase the x-axis sensitivity. It was extremely low.

By the way, 9.6 from IGN is great but we're not really gonna do that 'IGN can be trusted when my game gets a good score, but sucks when they hate what I like', right?
 
blech; I've decided to buy it online @ BestBuy.com tomorrow morning for in-store pickup.

That has to be preferable to walking in and asking someone to look in the back for the thing, as I still don't believe they'll figure to get the PC version on the floor by noon.

Any PC version impressions yet?
