I'm going to give Fallout 4 a miss for the moment. Still plugging away at Witcher 3, so I don't have time for massive games right now. I've heard there's at least a couple of major bugs at launch too, so hopefully they'll be fixed by early next year.

That said I might try and pick up the new Tomb Raider, because at least I should be able to get through that in a weekend.

I've heard about this fallout franchise...

Is it any good?

[Mazzyplz]

i'm willing to try since mwo this month is not to my taste anymore. maybe it will be next month again, maybe not.

i'm thinking of downloading warframe as well. no clue what it is about but the third person in world of war planes/ships seems silly to me.

for a game that is supposed to be vehicle combat anyways

Installing as I type.

Won't affect my MWO play mostly because I usually only play these days on Sunday and Wednesday nights when myself and some other TLB jump into the game for an hour or two.

My other time is occupied by some MineCraft and once installed, Fallout 4!

STEAM Christmas sales will be coming too so I usually pick up some great deals then as well. MWO is treading water in terms of interest these days.

It's HABBENING!

Another 20 minutes for the final files to unlock on Steam. Will report back later whenever.

[Fox With A Shotgun]

I'm surprised the Steam servers held up in Australia for downloading FO4. 12.5MB/s down the whole way through, without a hitch

It's going to be a few hours before I'm done with my looks, vanity and all.

It would be better if you just had to supply a photograph.

And then you'll load up the game

What's this Fallout nonsense? I have more important things to do, like smashing Mechs...

[STEF_]

I've learned to wait 6-12 months for a Bethesda title.
So full of bugs in the release.
And less money grab too.

Wait, what?

A game where you pay once is a money grab now?

Need I point out the irony of reading this on the forums of MWO? Have you pre-ordered the latest pack yet? All for the sweet, sweet price of, oh I don't know, Fallout 4? Witcher 3? XCOM 2? FM16?

"Money grab" for my poiont of view is been paying fallout3 and then skyrim full 59$ on day one, (with a lot of bugs).

Instead I paid 25$ for New Vegas (complete edition, it seems to me), the most awesome title from Bethesda I played, no bugs at all, and a good price. That's why I learned to wait thier Goty titles

[badaa]

no **** is given for fallout 4

[Xenon Codex]

I almost bit, but then read a review saying there's no overall storyline. It's just hours of wandering and doing quests...not my type of game.

[DAYLEET]

Im pretty sure this is the whole reason for the voting system. Big games comming out this and next month and the game is going to be hurting for more player even more. Id rather have immediate psr mixing than hours of the same map.

There is an argument to be made with DLC.

Buy the GOTY edition and get all of it at some point, ideally at 75% off (Praise GabeN). Unfortunately, those GOTYs tend not to go below 66% off.

Otherwise, buy 70$ game at launch+ 30$ for Season Pass, for 100$.

[Leone]

Naw, last fallout game played like a slide screen for my ole' laptop. I'm not gonna buy it til I try it.

Wait... wait... MWO used to run that bad for me, and then I got a new laptop....

See all ya'll later, I'mma be on Fallout 3. <o.

Yeah, that's really not what "money grab" means. A money grab is to extend minimal effort in order to produce something shiny that will make people give you money - it doesn't have to have any redeeming qualities but being shiny.

Think 'mech packs. Those are money grabs. You get nothing but a new look for your hero - no content, just shiny pixels. All for the low, low price of a complete game.

Bethesda games, for all their traditional day-one bugs, really do not fit the "minimal effort" bill, nor are they just eye-pleasers. You do get a full triple-A game's worth of content for the price of a triple-A game.

It's an argument, yes. It's not a very good one for Bethesda and Fallout since they tend to deliver high-quality DLCs that are worth the asking price.

The GOTY editions tend to be crazy good value for money, but you have to wait a year or so for them.

I don't know which currency you're using there Mcgral, but the game is USD 59.99 on Steam, and GBP 39.99 on greenmangaming.

[TheCharlatan]

I've played enough Bethesda games in the past.
It's just the same gameplay, over and over: shoot/stab bad guy until it drops (don't worry about strategy or anything, just kill it), drink potion/stimpack, rinse, repeat.
Story might be intresting or not, but gameplay is super stale.
