Fallout 4

The combat is so much better than previous editions. Almost an GPS feel to it! Loving it.

Only problem I'm noticing so far (PS4 Super Duper race) is that subtitles freeze so the lads go on having their convo but the same line stays on the screen. No biggie but I like me subtitles. Also, I wish the armour was organised betters as in a section for different body parts. I play in 1st person but it is jarring when the dialogue camera sets in and my guy is wearing a blue dress and a sack hood. Why are these people even talking to me dressed like that!

Can you play properly whole it's still installing on xbox one? Will continue instalation? I know ps4 has separate chip for all these things, but how's xbox one? Or I better wait for it fully installed?

Yeah, are they giving something free with it? How do they justify the extra €20? Was going to pick up Halo 5 in there too but just seen it's cheaper at Argos as well.

Power Armour is awesome.

Women at the counter in argos even looked at it and was surprised with price. She was clearly not a gamer, but she already knew its going to be a busy day for Fallout 4. Argos is on the ball with new releases, though I noticed that they put new releases on launch for very good price, bit after 2-3 days it goes to normal 60-70eu price. Still beats competition.

Well, I can play all day in peace, though when I pick her up from work, I will be cooking dinner. So sort of sucks.
At least I am not working today and I am on my own. 98% installed, so pew pew in a second.

......I'm moving house this Sunday with herself and I've my pipboy edition right here! Work this evening and a College ca in the morning as well the gaming gods have forsaken me this time

Duggy747

I completely forgot about the Pip Boy companion app, has anybody used it yet? Is it gimmicky or somewhat useful while playing?

Showing the map while playing sounds very handy.

Does anyone know if there is shared storage cases? The different work benches in Sanctuary for example can hold your 'junk' but I'd never be able to remember which one had what. Must try it next time I'm on with 2 nearby workstations but wondering how it worked around the map as well.

Have never played a fallout game and hate first person views.

Is it as good playing it solely third person?

I was reading earlier that you should choose one workstation and stick with it early on as you have to physically move junk between them.

Just read that the Local Leader perk (I think) enables you to share your stored junk between settlements when you discover them and it will shown lines on the map connecting them. That will be very handy.

I havent even looked at stuff like this, on my way to diamond city and jesus christ stay away from towns unless well armed, bleeding nightmare haha

How can i leave bad feedback for Gameseek? It is completely silly that you can't cancel your preorder through your order page, that the people you contact through Facebook can't ensure that your details get through to the customer service people, and that I even have to contact their customer service people at all. Plus the people that were answering on Facebook were purposefully not answering or reading my messages (well, this is an assumption).

I'm just utterly displeased with them and, of course, my order didn't arrive today and my digital download won't even be done by this evening.

Tesco have it for 69.99, ouch

I would play these games mostly in third person view. I'm not a fan of traipsing around the wasteland (or the likes of Skyrim) in first-person. I actually think 3rd person gives you a better idea of what's around you, plus you get to look at your lovely armour and your haircut.

So, yes, it's definitely as good playing in 3rd person (though movement isn't as fluid as in games like Assassin's Creed or Batman or some such) but I would say there are elements, particularly close combat, where it's to your advantage to be in first person.

€70+ in GameStop & Argos.

I cannot wait until the internet infrastructure gets to a point where a wholly digital marketplace is a possibility and these guys are screwed for ripping us off.

My copy from Gameseek, despite their awfulness, was €50+.

Picked up the last pc version copy from argos galway for 55 euro. Reading the back of the game box you need a steam account. Hope i don't have to download to much lol as i have a poor net connection.

Only €55 in Argos, I mentioned Tesco as they had tweeted users a much lower guide price

I'm not sure we'll ever get to the point of a single digital marketplace. There's too many extraneous influences depending on geographic limitations, taxes, laws etc. Maybe after the bombs drop and we'll get a more simple society

stesaurus

The thread is dead, it's so not fair for those of us waiting on our game to arrive or stuck in work. Everyone with their copy should be sensitive to the rest of us and hold off playing until we all can.

Did you even try to ask the manager to price match it against their competitors?
