Fallout 4

No, because the glitches will be patched, probably on the day the game is released. Most things have a day one patch now. Gone, long gone, are the days of buying a disc of a game that was bugged when it was released and being stuck with it like that.

I had decided a long time ago to make a point of not getting it in the first six months of its release as bugs will undoubtedly be plentiful as in past fallout games, quite a few making them unplayable, but I love fallout so decided to ignore my own better judgement.

I learned the hard way to install the last two and keep making new saves in case the old one corrupted. I see Fallout 3 and NV as somewhat akin to driving a classic car - performance isn't great, objectively full of flaws, could break down at any moment, yet full of character

Simply the best gaming news since I completed the 3 and Vegas twice. Will be giddy when it arrives.

Really looking forward to this there are only so many times you can replay New Vegas and Skyrim although Wolfenstien 1 & 2 have filled the spot for a while.

Has anyone tried re-playing Fo3 on the PC lately? Does it still work now that Windows Live has been shut down?

Edit: Mind you, although I have the physical media for the original game, and although I notionally own all the DLCs (but don't think I have media for them), I might be better off just re-buying it. Steam have the GotY Edition with all DLC on sale for the next 31 hours at £8.99

Have you tried activating it on Steam?

You can put your retail cd keys in Steam and see if it works.

List here, New Vegas works -https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

Oh, good call! I will try that first. Thanks!

Edit: No, that's not going to work. My copy is the physical media original Windows Live version. Steam will only let me add it as a "non-Steam" game and wants me to install it first.
I think that for the sake of £8.99, I might just re-buy it on Steam. Job done.

It was Bethesda's keynote last night. I would suggest everyone watches the gameplay videos. fnarr

Roll on November! CAN. NOT. WAIT!

It looks bloody good. Character talking will be a point of contention with some, but I don't mind it. Good to see V.A.T.S. back! Will be interesting to find out why you were in the vault for so long without realising it!

[Jasandjules]

Have it pre-ordered, so now it is just a waiting game.

[FourWheelDrift]

Can't wait. Counting down the days (must say days as months seems too long)



And the special edition Pip-Boy is huge, it's even bigger than a Moto 360 !

I want that so badly it hurts.

[Irrotational]

Their announce comment for it was awesome

Something like "yeah second screen experiences can be a bit gimmicky...but this is the best f*cking gimmick you're going to get!"

It looks awesome, but my wife would give me a look that I just couldn't deal with.

Should be in the watch thread.

Man, that looks good! Can't wait for this to be released.

If the Pip-Boy was really that big, it should be a weapon in its own right!

[Digitalize]

So tempted for the limited edition, even if the app works without the Pip Boy case...

[Rutter]

Anyone playing the iPhone app?

I've had 3 or 4 vault babies today, i'm such a proud overseer...

In the game they don't have the benefit of transistors, so that'd be a tiny little CRT on your wrist. I bet they have one arm far stronger than 'tother in those vaults.
