Fallout 4, anyone?

[PennyK]

My husband persuaded me that we should play it. I'm not the most intense gamer; that means I like playing, but the violence is pretty much my least favorite part. I've been immersed in ESO for the past year, and since Bethesday made both games, I figured I couldn't go too wrong. So far it's been fun...still just getting started. He's at about level 8 and having a ball!

1. I keep getting sucked into managing my settlements

and thus not advancing the quest line. Level 12, haven't even been to "Diamond city", which I'm guessing is supposed to be my main hub for a while.

2. my wife is enjoying it!

she spent 2 hours creating herself and me in the character creation screen just to watch my character be shot and killed within the first 30 minutes of the game lmao.

I however am awaiting Star Wars Battlefront tomorrow!!! ahhhhh!!!!

8. Careful - if yer not a total Multiplayer nerd you're gonna be disappointed.

Check the reviews before you go whole hog - they saved me 60 bucks.

[retrowire]

9. Well I'm really fond

of the garden warfare multiplayer setup so this has been right up my alley so far!

[Juicy_Bellows]

10. Nice - I am glad you like it. I haven't played it yet. How is it?

I hear it looks incredible but is quite shallow - I have no idea if this is reality or just fan boy noise.

[retrowire]

11. I'll have a review ready in a day or two.

I'll write one up just like I did for the stream controller.

till then, check out this short video clip I took of my gameplay today. just a minute or so long. and uh, don't trust the capture quality, the game looks amazing.

12. Sweet, I look forward to it!

Nice video - die rebel scum!



It looks pretty good - are those X wings and shit being flown by other players or is that the computer?

[retrowire]

13. to answer your question

it is both computers and other players

[stonecutter357]

3. completely addicted.

[LonePirate]

4. Just started playing it this weekend.

Between not having much time to play and my propensity to search and scavenge everything, Dogmeat and I just made it to Concord. The combat mechanics and my poor timing are going to make survival a challenge but the game seems enjoyable right now.

5. Going to wait for a price drop--maybe a Steam sale down the road

and give some time for Bethesda to clean up what's bound to be a mountain of bugs. That's not to say they do sloppy work, but large, ambitious open world games are very hard to test for even most possible scenarios. I didn't even get into Skyrim until the 1.9 patch.

I'm also definitely glad to see Fallout on the Creation engine finally. I loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas to death, but Gamebryo was just not a good engine and caused a lot of performance issues.

That said, it looks interesting, and once I'm done playing Skyrim in about 20 years, I'll give it a go.

[PennyK]

6. You didn't try ESO?

I really love it. I should say I play alone...but the quests are so varied and so much fun.

[Skeeter Barnes]

7. I advanced too far into the quest line with Preston Garvey and got obliterated.

Probably won't go back to that quest until I'm much higher level. I did get Piper to be my g/f though! The Grape Mentats made me irresistible.

I think the violence is OK since pretty much everything that sees you tries to kill you first.

[brett_jv]

15. Did this obliteration involve a certain "Queen", by chance?

Yeah, I held off on that one cause I'd heard from an office-mate that it ramps up the difficulty rather suddenly. Leveled up with some of the Diamond City & Brotherhood of Steel fetch quests, building stuff at the settlements I liberated, and completing the 'Silver Shroud' (I believe it was called) questline ... which was definitely the best side quest so far in the game.

Went and tackled that mission around level 20 and it wasn't too bad, still a challenge but not insurmountable ... be careful you don't enable the 'Glowing' version while you're still fighting the 'Queen' one or you'll be in trouble though. The glowing one's release happens when you enter a certain room in the building and you DON'T want it after you while you're trying to take down the Queen.

Anyways, yeah ... awesome game, loads of fun, just like FO3 and FONV and Skyrim all were. I'm like 70 hours in and feel like I've barely started...and actually, that's true from what I understand. SOOOO much to do in this game it's almost ridiculous.

[Skeeter Barnes]

16. I finally put her down. Stood inside and popped in / out for shots.

Not sure why I was running around outside at first but I finally wised up. I really wanted that castle.

I went south into a swamp after that mission and got OHKd by a Mirelurk King so it's back to the city for now. And I agree the Silver Shroud is the best quest line so far.

Just Cause 3 comes out Dec. 1st so I might just sidequest and then put this one on hold for a while. Did the same with Oblivion, F3 and Skyrim. Came back and finished them later.

Just Cause 2 was amazing, IMO, and I can't wait the play the new one. It's a bit like the latest Far Cry games but third person and much more crazy mayhem.

[Islandurp]

14. It's been years since I've been this addicted to a video game.

I am level 31 and I've barely progressed in the main storyline. Just too busy exploring the wasteland, killing legendary bad guys and collecting their weapons. Building up settlements has been a surprising time sink. Gahhhh Just talking about this makes me want to go back and play!

[Skeeter Barnes]

17. You have to see this tower someone built. High as you can get in the game, complete with

animation.

[TacoD]

18. Can't believe I wasted 4 minutes of my life for that "payoff" at the end

Song choice is kind of clever though

[Skeeter Barnes]

19. You wouldn't be watching the vid or posting here with a sock account if you had anything

better to do.

[PennyK]

20. My computer died...

...and until I get a new one (about two weeks), I have to play on my husband's, when he's on break. That means staying up late or waiting for interesting sports on TV. Ah well, we are still loving this one!

[JackInGreen]

21. Level 55

with no end in sight .
Havn't read the rest of the thread, I'm near endgame, no spoilers friends.

[ZombieHorde]

22. I love it. nt
