Why do people pre-order if they have doubts about the game?
It's one of the reasons why I don't bother. I wait to see what the product is like before committing.
Don't even get me started on all of the tat that is released with games now.
Because this is going to be the gaming event of my life. Fallout is the only reason I own a console. There is no doubt in my mind that this will be (to me) absolutely fantastic and the biggest drain of my free time this year.It's one of the reasons why I don't bother.

Anyway, moving away from DoubleSix's lovefest for TW3 and back onto Fo4, there is a new article on Kotaku called Can We Tone It The f

Hmmm, I can't feel I blame them for abusing the hype to some extent. I'm eager for it too but they're in the game of making money too and if a large number of people with more money than sense are willing to splurge on plastic crap then... meh.k Down With The Fallout Merchandising?

It's not like it's being forced onto us.

The graphics are wk. I'm cancelling my PipBoy pre-order. You're all suckers and should play the Witcher instead.Not really. It's looks awesome! I can't believe I have to wait all weekend to play it. I'm half tempted to drive to that indie game shop and buy a copy there too.
For those saying the graphics look the same as F3 and NV take a look here;

Granted, it's no Witcher, but you can't deny there is a generation leap.

I've just checked the credit card that I used to secure my pre-order. There is a £99.99 shadow on the account, although it doesn't show as Game just yet, but it normally takes a day for a payment to show on the online statement. I haven't bought anything else for £99.99 so it can only be the game.
I'm one of a large group waiting for their PipBoy from GAME who have had no emails from DPD, it would seem. There's an angry mob shaking pitchforks over on Facebook. Typically, GAME has all but collapsed. Their phone number simply disconnects you as they're too busy as does their online chat.
Oh dear.
Oh dear.

Well it does seem something has gone wrong with my order from Game too!
After saying I was going to get my delivery between 11:56 stand 12:56 from DPD, I now get another text saying that DPD have not got the parcel,after all from game!
This is fekkin ridiculous!
At least you're getting emails. I have had nothing since Friday. I sit in fast-fading hope that DPD will deliver.After saying I was going to get my delivery between 11:56 stand 12:56 from DPD, I now get another text saying that DPD have not got the parcel,after all from game!

Initial reactions is that it's incredibly obvious that it's using the Skyrim engine and if you've spent ages playing Skyrim then it all looks a little familiar, especially in the loading screens. One has to ask why it's taken them so long to release Fo4 when Skyrim was released 4 years ago.
That's not to say I'm not enjoying it. Having spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on Fo3, Fo:NV and Skyrim, I can't see this one being any different.
The game has been in development for 4 years. Four years! None of which was spent on a new engine so it was entirely on gameplay, with over 400 hours available in this title. Did you expect them, to write the game then completely rewirte the lot on a new engine just because the Witcher looks pretty?That's not to say I'm not enjoying it. Having spent hundreds and hundreds of hours on Fo3, Fo:NV and Skyrim, I can't see this one being any different.
It's everything I expected and more. Yes some of the animations aren't 2015 and the graphics could be a bit glossier, but I'm loving the game and can't wait to get ten working week's worth of gameplay out of it.

The witcher didn't just look pretty, it's also massive with a fantastic story and seriously slick mechanics, Bethesda devs must have been pulling their hair out when they played it as they knew their game was going to be compared to it.
OVER 4 years in developement and it feels clumsy and sluggish with sub par graphics, They got away with it in previous years because the competition wasn't as good IMO.
And that's great. I'm sorry for you that F4 isn't W3 with bottle caps and lasers, but it's not. If that spoils the game for you then maybe think about playing something else. There's lots of other games out there.OVER 4 years in developement and it feels clumsy and sluggish with sub par graphics, They got away with it in previous years because the competition wasn't as good IMO.
