Fallout 4

Bad. Crack. 500 hours of my life will be lost to this game. Anyone else playing it?

I am. I'm not too far in though. Level 8 and working through the corvega factory

Its pretty damn good. I loved FO 3 as well.

Yeah I have been more into just building up the Sanctuary settlement. Go figure. I got Dogmeat his first piece of armor, he looks pretty ridiculous in it but its better than nothing.

That is one thing I don't like. I can't stand these elaborate crafting systems they are putting in all new RPGs. They just become too damn tedious to me. Especially when, as in fallout 4, the menus drill down 3-4 levels deep in every option.

My friend can play anywhere from 3-12 hours a day of Fallout.

I've tried it. Not really my thing though.

Played a buncha 3 and new Vegas, just not my thing this time around...

For someone totally oblivious to newer/modern games, what are differences from 3 to 4? Any at all?

Looks intriguing but probably not enough for me to go out and buy a PS4 or anything

How can someone so young be oblivious to modern games? Lol The two are very similar, and that's a good thing.

The differences ive noticed in 4:

- 4 is more colorful and detailed.   
- The VATS targeting system is tweaked
- Perks/leveling up system is tweaked
- Much more character customization
- Crafting system overhaul. Crafting is much more in depth, and plays a bigger part in the gameplay.
- Power Armor is now treated like a vehicle rather than normal armor worn all the time
- Generic raiders seem a little more difficult/ better AI. They love some grenades and Molotov's!
- better weapon variety, which is due to the crafting.
- companion interaction/usefulness is more dynamic.

That's just off the top of my head. Again, I'm not very far into it yet.

I'm waiting for it.
I was very excited when it was announced, and was about to pre-order it on Steam, and... okay. 65€ asked. for a DIGITAL copy.
So meh, if I'm to play 65E for it, you give me physical stuff, or I'll wait in like one month it will be solded for like 20€.

I have played through FO3 and NV in their entirety, every DLC, every achievement, mods, you name it.  So I watched my friend play a little of FO4, and while it looks fine, it seems very similar to FO3/NV which I played to death.  I'm also very cheap when it comes to Steam, what can I say - Gabe trained me that way.  So I will definitely wait for a sale ($10 or less) to pick it up.  Besides, while I do play new games all the time, I'm pretty into Turbo and GB right now so that's where my focus is on that.  In fact, the $60 bucks that would have been spent on FO4 went towards a bunch of GB stuff that I'm pretty excited about in it's place.

The big change is the ability to create settlements and build structures, defenses, and such. The crafting bit doesn't seem like a gimmick but really does help a lot during gameplay. I probably have close to 15 hours put into it and just got to level 12. Yeah, I like this better than Skyrim that's for sure.

I lump the building of settlements etc into the crafting system.

I don't have a PS4 yet, & I want to wait till there's a GOTY with all the trimmings & fixin's.  I enjoyed 3 & Vegas.  I'd love it if they remade the others(ones that are cannon, not Brotherhood of Steel) in this style.  I have 1 & 2 on Steam IIRC, but I just don't like playing games on my PC.

[Groover]

I haven't been playing it but I know many that are and I can't hang out with them because of it. This game just hadn't pulled me in like others. I'm also afraid if it did.

[EvilEvoIX]

Can't wait to start it.
