So ready to play this game. Is it a midnight launch in the U.S. on steam? Midnight Eastern Time benefit of living on the west coast! yeah, I'm glad they started doing the whole US at the same time lately instead of rolling through the time zones. |

Cheating to get a game that by all accounts is a 100-200 (or more) hour game a couple hours early doesn't even sound like something that should be considered. |

I literally just got done looking at Steam through a EU proxy server but could not justify the risk for a few hours of early play

I'm going to talk about some items in the game none of it is story related so I don't believe it to be a spoiler just in case ill spoiler tag it otherwise I know someone will complain I hurt their feels
Click To View Spoiler Still very awesome so far the only thing is "junk" is very different in this game and they don't explain it at all. You can see sometime that junk boils down to base components like metal, wood, plastic, etc but there is no tutorial of how to get it down to those base components or if you even need to. You do constantly need components though to upgrade your gear and I would REALLY like to know how to render my junk down. You can render all guns and armor down easily at an armor table or a gun table but there is no"junk table" so far. |

If anyone has not installed the pip boy app on your phone (it will work with or without the pip boy edition of the game) you should. There's even a demo mode that lets you experiment with it and see what all it can do. It's pretty sweet. Is that available for Android? Yep. |

i'm watching the clock on the wall here at work and i think it's not moving.

I have to wait until tomorrow evening to play. It's not going to unlock until after I go to bed.

Well I fucking goofed by not downloading Fallout 4 from Steam until tonight. It's going a a breakneck 137 KB/s. I guess at this rate I should be ready to play by Thanksgiving.

I was only able to "play" for about five minutes this morning before I had to leave for work.
My playtime consisted of: - Waiting to download whatever that other thing was it needed - Finally launch and find out the game does not natively support ultrawide resolutions - Let my fingers do the walking - PC master race the shit out of the prefs files to disable mouse acceleration, enable ultrawide / adjust the FOV and disable the annoying startup movie. - Restart the game with beautiful ultrawide 3440x1440 res, a slightly stretched HUD (but livable) and pretty nice graphics - Realize I have to leave for work and I spent all my time this morning PC master racing - Frowny face |

The mouse smoothing and fov really bothered me last night. A quarter second input delay was Yuck as fuck.
|
|
The UI in-game is terrible, especially when you're building your base. Looks like everything was optimized for console. I'm playing with Ultra graphics and some of the textures and graphics are gross. It's not really explained how you get items to craft either.
I'm kind of disappointed. |

Check out the thread on the Steam forums that is linked to above, that is where I went and that guy's info is solid. And you might as well do his other tweaks as well when you are in there. |

Played through the first several missions last night. off to a great start. this game is gonna be so good.

This game sucks. It's a poor combination of Skyrim and Dead Island. They had to drag the fucking intro out long enough that you can't get a Steam refund. Fucking retarded plot, too...oh, blah blah blah, sob sob...but I've got time to make fucking BEDS for these strangers.
This is seriously the worst game I have played in years. I may never buy another Bethesda title again. |

I got some time to play tonight, and I have to say once I got all the settings settled (PC Master Race'd the hell out of those pref files some more) the game really is smooth and pretty decent looking. I'm not much past pillaging the original town but this has all the hallmarks of Fallout 3, so I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.
If I had a gripe it would be that I had to open the hood and tweak a bunch of shit to get it running how I wanted it, but I imagine with a few patches it will only get easier and better... day one and all. And the main thing I like about it so far is the atmosphere is spot on Fallout. I could do without the constant chatter from the protagonist, but it doesn't really take anything away from the vibe. |
|
I kinda preferred the silent protagonist of FO3 and New Vegas, but meh, whatever I suppose.
Early impressions of the game so far is it's like a prettier version of Fallout 3 - that's not necessarily a bad thing. I went over to the PC master race for this one, having played the previous two games on console. Maybe I just don't have the attention to detail or whatever, but the game for me ran just fine out the box with no tinkering or fiddling. Now granted, I'm only about two hours in, I spent most of that time just wandering around looking for stuff, but so far, so good. |
