Gaming Fallout 4

Has anyone done the 'first step' mission yet? I guess I'm under-leveled for it or something at the moment since I basically went straight to it. The amount of raiders in this place is batshit retarded on very hard. I'm running around with a shitty pipe pistol and my vault suit trying to dodge a shitstorm of grenades, molotovs and gunfire from all angles. Must have been in this place for about an hour and gone through a ton of aid supplies :lol:. Thank god for quicksaving.
 
You can make any size building you want to make, I've gone for a metal first floor and a wooden second floor at the moment, stairs at the back
Really? That's pretty cool then. I didn't think you would be able to keep stacking them up as you don't really see tall buildings in the game
 
So... Is it any good? On the fence if I should get it with battlefront just round the corner!
 
Had first performance issue when it was raining in the area surrounding Diamond City. Has been smooth for the first 5-6 hours but it was noticeable when it started to rain. Overall it has been good though. Loving the game in general there is a ridiculous amount of things to do. The depth of the crafting is crazy.
 
Had a few hours with it last night. I'm very impressed with it. My only gripe is the facial animations and dialogue, however there's far too much detail to get too mad at that, you can see that Bethesda have really put everything into the game otherwise. I can't see myself putting it down for months.
 
Junk (which is now useful) seems to build up at a massive rate. I'm really tempted to use the console command to give me practically unlimited inventory. I've seen people on the net complaining cause they spend so much time organising their inventory.

go to workbench at your main settlement and choose Transfer, then press the button that moves all junk into the workbench

another thing I found out by accident Is if you have laods of stuff in workbench from scapping stuff, if you transfer it all to you then you get the scavenger achievement for having 1000 items

just found out if you hold x while in workbench mode you can move the whole structure at once
 
I cannot quite grasp the mechanics so far, only been playing for an hour. You need to store stuff, consume stuff, combine stuff - a lot of stuff. I imagine this will get more accessible with time.

I like it though. It looks better than I expected and I like the atmosphere. Giant bugs scare the hell out of me.
 
It's of the fallout we all know really. That, for me anyway, is enough to keep me interested and playing. I've played about 3 hours between last night and this morning. Only stopping because of work really. The conversation stuff definitely doesn't seem as good as previous ones though. That is my major gripe, but I knew that coming into it. Only bug I've noticed so far was when one of the enemies I was fighting got stuck in a wall...
 
One thing I remember from playing last night, is that the first time I started to just walk in any direction and immerse myself in the world, I got the ''you can't proceed any further'' thing when trying to walk somewhere on the map. Wasn't a great first impression for an open world game, but it could have been just me. The map is obviously huge.

Not come across that yet, you can go out of bounds?

Well, you start the game right in the corner of the map, so you basically have two directions - east or south.

Was that in the previous Fallout? Or did they have mountains or hordes of Deathclaws to prevent you going further?

what bit did you have trouble with?
I activated the robot in the basement bit and he killed the raider you need to kill
 
I was looking forward to this and tempted to buy it but just went on steam reviews and there are a lot of negative reviews.

For the people that have played it would you say it's a let down or has it met your expectations?

I only played for a couple of hours last night and while I wasn't blown away, I don't think it has disappointed.

I think if you like older Fallout games, you will like this.

I was a bit stupid in naively just waltzing up to the main door and taking on the whole base with very basic equipment. I must have fought over 50 of them before I even got to the room with the target in and then only found the protectrons and secret tunnel after I'd already Django Unchained the place. It was quite a lot of fun though so I have no regrets!

Oh I also took the objective to 'kill the raiders' literally so went around the entire premises, all the way to the top, taking out every single raider there was before even going inside which was all a bit unnecessary in retrospect :lol:.

Jesus Christ I've been playing this game for 7 hours straight, God bless Independence Day. It's fantastic thus far.
 
Nick Valentine is a really good character. Enjoying the stuff with him a lot.

Facial animation is really hit and miss. Sometimes its presentable and then theres times like where you meet Piper where it looks like a PS2 face.
 
Like it a lot so far. The pacing is incredibly slow compared to Witcher or even MGS that which I've played recently but it's not bad. Very good experience so far but feck the giant mutant bugs.
 
Fair play to Jeff Gerstmann for giving the console version a 3/5 and the PC version a 4/5.
 
I have yet to pass a single house that I haven't looted everything in it. Pencils, tea pots, old fire extinguishers. I have a problem.
 
Since I am new to the series I got a couple of questions: how do I remove the red bar from my health bar? I cannot heal to 100% because of it. And how do I repair power armor?

That's radiation. You need to use radaway or find a doctor to heal it. I'm not sure about the power armor because I lost mine :(
 
I can't stand the fact that you can't repair stuff anymore. Really liked that aspect of the game and gave it an extra touch of realism.

This has sadly been neutralised somewhat IMO for casual gamers.
 
Been playing for some hours now... feels weird to loot houses for stuff that you never even looked at in NV or 3.

The most annoying part is that a game released in late 2015 doesn't have support for SLI and 21:9... 21:9 can be arranged by tweaking the ini-files, but SLI-suport is nowhere to be seen. Could really use the power of both my cards since 3440x1440 is quite demandin

I am keeping mine at Sanctuary.

I have ran out of 10mm ammo. It's nowhere to be found and 10mm pistol I got at the beginning was good. Can I tweak this pistol to hold 5mm or 8mm ammo instead?
