I will without fail, be taking the entire week off that this releases.
I will get large amounts of snacks, soda and 5 hour energy. I will also get a large sack of... let's call it "medicine".
And I will play this like I get paid to do so.
I will also start my youtube channel with this game being my inaugural video series. THIS is the game I've been waiting for since I finished my first play through of Fallout New Vegas. It simply can NOT come soon enough.
But please, Bethesda, PLEASE take your time and make sure it's released as bug free as possible.
They could use the updated engine they used for Skyrim and I'd be happy. They would, of course, need up seriously up-res the textures for the new consoles. On PC it's not that big a deal because we can always get texture mods.
Honestly though, I'd love to see a new engine, I mean completely new, not this Gamebryo+++ type of thing. An engine with the kind of detail of something like The Division or even Rage (with much better up close textures) would be amazing.
I'm a big fan of Bethesda games and love the elder scrolls but something about the Fallout universe didn't hook me in. I toughed it out and beat the game but never had an interest in going around exploring any more. Maybe it's just the world's atmosphere or something because it's the kind of game I usually love to play.
I'm the exact opposite. I finished Oblivion ONCE on PS3, never finished it on 360. I had Skyrim on XB and sold it after about a month, have it on PC and played about 40 hours before I got bored with it (gorgeous game all modded out though).
But Fallout? I've probably put about 1200 hours into Fallout 3 across all three platforms and something like 1600 hours into New Vegas across 360 and PC. I just much prefer not only the stories and settings of the Fallout universe but the more straight-forward leveling and character building.
Good to see all the love for Fallout! which one was your personal favorite? 3 or New Vegas? Mine 3 by far. Much more interesting locations and the quests were more interesting for me too. Though the new features in NV were really good too, the game left a bad taste in my mouth after it froze 50+ times on me.
The one and ONLY thing Fallout 3 had over New Vegas was random encounters. Everything else from story (4 separate main lines, dozens of different faction lines) to characters to dialog was better in New Vegas.
Altough I do have to give a nod to the capital wasteland itself, it was a pretty damned interesting place to adventure, even though all you ever fought were super mutant after super mutant.
