I have yet to get this and I'm a little intimidated now!

Is there a PS4 version with all the DLC crap yet, or are they still chunking out DLC?

My approach on these, if the game allows it, is to take a linear path through to the end, and then run around doing other junk for fun, little clean-up quests. If the narrative branches a lot, then I'll play through a second time instead of doing things post-game, and not concentrate on getting to the end.

I just remember figuring out back in the Fallout 2 days that there was one gun store that had a fully-stocked basement, a single dude working there, and virtually no penalty for taking him out as soon as possible. Running around the wasteland and just blasting everyone after that was a joy.

I think that's the thing that was missing from Fallout 3. It really needed a trail of venomous candy just under the surface urging you to become a complete sociopath. The promise of reconciling with your father, who is a force for good in the world, is bullshit. It's a dog-eat-dogmeat world out there. Even if you help your people, they'll end up exiling you anyway.

i basically already said this but i think if you enjoyed fallout 3/new vegas and are ok with a game that doesn't really add much new to those games except a new story and slightly better graphics, getting fallout 4 is worth it. i think i paid like $20 for a used copy and i don't have any regrets.

I'm enjoying what little I've played, made a big mistake of looting loads and not saving - then dieing. Kinda stopped me from loading it up for a bit. I'll return, wiser.

The amount of mental memory these kids of games required is pretty great. It's almost like having a job

one month passes...

oh for heavens sake. I just spent 7 levels not realising i could activate the greyed out perks. So now my Strength is maxed out, but who cares.

flip side, I am enjoying it. Love the weapon crafting and half enjoying base building although don't see much point in it - at least gives me some reason to loot the shit out of anything though.

But yeah filling my fallout 3 thirst.

Flip again..

Some annoying glitch with mouse menu selection, why hasn't that been fixed?

Dialogue stuff is awful lol

Annoying dogmeat is annoying.

Not being able to update the radio playlists without disabling achievements is some bullshit imo

Haven't. Supppsedly better than the main story, but that's it surprising.
