I would love to have a Fallout set in Europe. Or any post-apocalyptic game, really.
...STALKER? Hellgate: London? Dirty Bomb?
Metro?
Alright. Fair enough.
I've played Metro, and not the others.
I just got my email saying my copy will be shipped. I should have it tomorrow.
I just wanted to start playing at midnight though.

I feel your pain. I went over to Mom's and she checked Amazon. It SHOULD arrive tomorrow sometime. But due to RL stuff, I doubt that I will get to play anytime before 10 or 11 PM.
I think I will go beat up Yang, Deirdre, and the aliens to ease my pain and anguish. ~grumbles ~ Sneak attack me will you? ~starts to build needle jets to begin retribution~
Edit - ~whistles~ WOW!!! I have been playing Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri for over 15 years?
I would love to have a Fallout set in Europe. Or any post-apocalyptic game, really....STALKER? Hellgate: London? Dirty Bomb?Metro happens in Moscow, and has that Russian sensibility which is not for everyone.
Hellgate London is a terrible terrible game. What's Dirty bomb?
Free to play class based shooter. I hear it's quite good.
The STALKER series is also Russian based.
I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find more, those are just the ones I thought of off the top of my head.

Super super disappointed.Chin up, I just got confirmation that my Pip-Boy edition was "Processing" That's one step closer to "in-transit" and the first change in order status since June too. I hope you come home to a package full of Fallout goodness!! Happy Gaming!~sneaks up behind D20DM and changes the address that the Pip-Boy edition is going to then slips away unnoticed~
** spoiler omitted **
Perception (-3) Ha, only took me 6 hours to notice. Enjoy your copy, I know better than to mess with a dragon.

So I cannot believe I am saying what I am about to say.
Why did they have to make the game live now? The game went live within the last hour. I was super excited about this, until I got to character creation. Its 1AM where I live right now! I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO INVEST IN THESE KINDS OF DECISIONS!!!!! I HAVE WORK IN THE MORNING!!!!!!! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME BETHESDA???????!!!!!!!!!!! DAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, you even made the banter between the male and female protagonist options just that right level of adorable that signifies a happily married couple!!!
Ok, enough ranting. I am going to get some sleep, because the sooner I do that, the faster I can get through the work day, and the quicker I can get to a window for actually running through character creation.
Got it working, played for a good 2 hours. Had to download a crash fix they put out already because it was crashing every 15 minutes, but once I got that installed it ran like a dream. Very fun so far.

It's frustrating yet amusing that turns out I picked a name that won't be vocalized -- Rosie, as in "the Riveter," a classic WWII reference -- but if I had picked "Titties" or "Assface" I would have been fine.

How on earth could they have missed Rosie, DQ? I agree, perfect name.

What's the best way to euthanize my computer, so I can justify buying a new one (which will just so happen to meet the system requirements) to my wife? I need a guy who can make it look like an accident...

SCENE: The Local Gamestop
CARRIE: (breathes into bag) Oh god, oh god, oh god oh g-
AMELIA: (shakes Carrie) Get a hold of yourself! We need to prepare! You set up the barricades, I'll contact HQ.
(CARRIE rushes around, barricading the doors. AMELIA heads into back room and turns on communications console.)
AMELIA: SIR! We have an emergency here!
ASHTON: (Screen flickers on, COMMANDER ASHTON's face appears) What's the sitch?
AMELIA: We have ten minutes till opening, and we have NO copies of Fallout 4 or Legacy of the Void, sir.
ASHTON: (breathes in deeply and pinches nose.) Okay, okay... We'll try to airlift you some. Hold in there.
AMELIA: There's no ti- (screen flickers off)
AMELIA: Damn.
CARRIE, offscreen: Three minutes! Wait, oh god-they're battering down the door! Help me, Amelia. They're i-(screams, sounds of flesh being ripped apart.)
(Horde of fans rushes into back room, closes in on AMELIA. Fade to black.)

Do you have kids? Cause if so, problem solved.
The hard part is they can't know either because they will rat you out in a second.
Cats with easily spilled beverages nearby are another goldmine of destruction.
For PC players bit of info that you might like to know, it seems that the recommended graphics are doing the game amazingly.
The GTX 780 or the R9 290x are apparently both running the game like champs (according to Reddit) on ultrahigh graphics with 60+ FPS.
When someone manages to tear themselves away from playing, care to share what made it onto the in-game playlist?

I'd suggest overclocking it so much that it burns out. Or overwhelming the power supply with stronger electrical current.
Here's a good one. Start updating the firmware on your motherboard and turn the computer off in the middle. Kills it dead.
Or get a neodymium magnet and hold it on the hard drive for a few minutes.

I see you've done this before. :-D
MeanGM, I know, right?

If you have liquid cooling, crack (as in physically break) the hardware so coolant leaks on your motherboard, and say it was a failure in the cooling system.
(I don't actually recommend this, but a coolant leak was why I had to replace a motherboard a year ago or so.)

You mean the music on the radio? Sadly so far the swing/crooner playlist seems to be a lot of repeats from Fallout 3 -- good songs, like "Crazy He Calls Me" by Billie Holliday, but repeats. But I'm not sure if it's all repeats or what the extent of the playlist is, however. I only played a little before I went to work.
There's also a classical music station.

Either that or he has repaired computers before.
Touche!
Touche!
~annoyed look~ I am not touchy! And keep your hands to yourself!
~grins~
Damn it! So close to getting his horns, I can't make a profit without a fresh supply!
Four more hours till I get off work damnit
For what it's worth, my computer doesn't even meet the minimum specs (thugh not far off) and the game runs smooth as silk on Low settings. My friend has the same specs and says he can run it on Medium or High with no issues (or a few tweaks), so there's that. The game seems to be pretty damn well optimized.

Songs I've heard so far (that I remember):
Repeats: Bingo Bango Bongo, Anything Goes, One of the love songs I can't recall the name of ATM (it was in New Vegas, I think)
New songs: The Wanderer, Grandma Plays The Numbers, Butcher Pete (Part 2! Which means my life is now complete)
I have been reading the game guide and I have a feeling settlements will be very powerful, but a pain to set up right.
I am sitting at work getting nothing done because I keep on refreshing the UPS page to see why it hasn't been delivered yet...

So far, more new than old.
Edit: Atom Bomb Baby, Mr. In-Between, some jazzy number with no lyrics that's new, Rocket 69, and He's a Dog are also all new.
Got in to find a note telling me that FALLOUT 4 is waiting at the post office. Whichis now closed. Sigh.
The STALKER series is also Russian based.
Or, more accurately, Ukrainian :)
It does appear to snap to a grid, at least when you're building on an existing foundation.
I don't mind getting Power Armor early, since they seem to rely on a limited supply of Fusion Cores to work. Use it all up too fast and you're stuck without it until end-game, or at least that's how it seems now.
You get power armor early, but kind of need it for that fight. You know what I'm talking about. I also noticed the fusion core thing which means I will probably not use it that often, because I haven't found a second one yet but I'm only a little into the game.
I do want to say for anyone playing on PC that might encounter this problem, if your game crashes upon loading the "Please Stand By" screen for the game go to your respective graphics card manufacturer's website and update the latest drivers. Seems like both nVidia and AMD did some last minute software tweaks to run the game.
And for anyone that might be wondering I'm running on an AMD R9 290X and the game it running amazingly well on Ultrahigh graphics setting and is absolutely beautiful. I'm even running on an old AMD Phenom II X4 840 processor, but it doesn't seem to affect game performance very much as opposed to having a new processor.
I found a second core at 50% power early on (or, I should say, a first core, since I found it before I even got to Concord). No third yet though.

If I had picked "Titties" I would have been fine.
Picking "titties" is always fine.
