I picked up the Ultimate Edition two or three sales ago, but I'm just popping in to compliment you on choosing to give away the best one.
I'm...trying to be optimistic about 4, I guess. Unless I win it I won't be playing at launch. I actually didn't hate 3, but the writing is pretty dire, and it looks like 4 is focusing on areas I'm not really interested in. (Companion romance, base building...)

Yes I am, might even buy a new GPU just for this game since theorically I can't run it ^^

It runs on Creation, the engine of Skyrim; that was one of the first things confirmed. Just as a comparison: the switch from Windows 98 to Windows 7 contributed more to the difference in actual graphical hardware requirements between the 2002 Morrowind and the 2010 Fallout 3, than what the game engine really demanded. FO3 ran fine on an Intel HD 3000. And Creation is still the same engine, just rewritten to support multi-core hardware and 64-bit environments.
So if you can run Skyrim, you should be able to run FO4 the same.

Haha, that's what I'm doing this week. Got a MSI GTX 970 OC coming my way. Cost me an arm and a leg but it will be worth it! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I just did that yesterday for that specific reason lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Did this too, but went overboard and got a new CPU, RAM kit, SSD and a 4K monitor as well. All just for Fallout 4! When my Pip-Boy Edition arrives on the 10th I plan on not speaking to another human for at least a month.
Comment has been collapsed.
So-so. I will play it eventually.
Thank you for this option. Everyone is either in BethBoy+ mode thinkingor as cynical as me.
It may be an enjoyable action shooter/MineCraft hybrid. Heck, maybe they did hire a writer this time as some rumour suggest, so maybe this won't be the same "story" they rehash since Oblivion.
Comment has been collapsed.
You are telling me there might be decent quests for a change? I wait till I can pick it up for 15€...
Comment has been collapsed.
Depends on your definition of decent. If you mean one with actual choices and branching storyline, then no. Bethesda is incapable of doing that ever since Oblivion. Heck, even Morrowind's quests were mostly two-choice scenarios, if you really think about it.
If you mean something above the almost two dozen "collect infinite amounts of this junk item for money" ones that made up half of Fallout 3, then yes, I believe they put more effort into the fetch quests, which I assume will mostly be about the base building now. And if you enjoy killing mobs, the trailers promise a lot more of that.
I'll try to do the same I did with Fallout 3 after I saw the first ghoul who were obviously turned into zombies. There, I switched off the game and didn't touch it for months. Then started playing it as Rage 1.5, as something not even remotely Fallout but just another dungeon crawler. Then I put almost 700 hours in it (not many shows due to FOSE and offline modes).
FO4 promises better theme park map, but the MineCraft parts make me worry. This is the so-so part for me. I don't expect the writing to be anything more than background noise that must be neglected, as for all Bethesda GS games, but I'm hoping for a good map at least.

Thanks! I only have the 2D Fallout games.
4 looks neat!

If you played them and liked them, get New Vegas. Same dev team, same continuity.

I NEED Fallout 4. I have played the other Fallouts to death, and have been waiting for 4 for sooo long. I really hope I can afford to get it when it comes out because I needs me my Fallout!
Comment has been collapsed.
Got the fallout anthology edition last week sooooo I guess I'm gearing up for fallout 4 then ^^,
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm planning on getting that too, that mini-nuke looks amazing!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's okay, but Fallout 3 it still isn't. Sad that there weren't any real sequels after Tactics...
Comment has been collapsed.
True. Fallout Tactics was really great. But, on the other hand, we have XCOM 2 coming in february, which is pretty nice! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
cool but i can't play it because i'm stuck on dual core and 4 gb ram! :((
Comment has been collapsed.
Im not sure what to make of it, yet. I loved Fallout 3 back then, but couldn't get into New Vegas after that, it just felt like more of the same, in different color.
Comment has been collapsed.
They were different genres though, so it wasn't really.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fallout 3 is dungeon crawler, New Vegas is cRPG. Former focuses on exploration and combat, latter on narrative and plot branches.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's perhaps looking into the games a bit too much. They both play the same and even look the same.
Comment has been collapsed.
With this train of thought, Fallout 3 and Battlefield are the same. I would have used the old analogy of Unreal Tournament '99 and Deus Ex 1, but I'm not always sure who is old enough to get that.
Comment has been collapsed.
Gameplay in Fallout 3 and Battlefield works very differently though, unlike Fallout 3 and New Vegas. That's why I mentioned "they both play the same". The only similarity between UT'99 and Deus Ex is the engine. Perhaps some of the soundtrack too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Gameplay and the map design in FO3 and NV works differently too. So is the crafting system. And the battle system. The only things that are the same are the engine and the UI. And even the scripting engine isn't the same because Fallout 3 mods don't work on the New Vegas engine. Heck, a team of people have spent years porting FO3 into NV with a mod, but it's still not working 100% due to the massive changes.
So, "the only similarity between Fallout 3 and New Vegas is the engine."
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean if you honestly think the only similarity between Fallout 3 and New Vegas is the engine, we shouldn't continue this conversation.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, probably. :) For me FO3 is an off-shot like Tactics was. Fallout in name, different game design than the core series. The Commandos 4 of the franchise.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, because Fallout and Battlefield don't look or play the same. Neither do UT and Deus Ex.
At least not in the way that F3 and FNV similarities go. I'd say there are way more similarities between them, than differences.
Comment has been collapsed.
Still, I read so many comments of people liking one but not the other, that I think the difference between the two games is tangible. I played both (not completed though) and I must say I enjoyed them, for different reasons as they really feel different.
Comment has been collapsed.
The stories work differently and the pacing of the game is slightly different, but I wouldn't say they are anywhere close to being different genres.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm pretty excited, but I'm afraid the game would be a little different from what I'm expecting.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oddly enough, I'm psyched for Fallout 4, despite never having really played a Fallout game. There just seems to be so much to do in the next game that I can't help but get excited (<3 all the customization)
Now, I say I haven't really played a Fallout game, because I did technically try New Vegas last year on PS3... For about 30 minutes, before losing interest due to the control scheme, and returning it to Gamefly (rental). I've always preferred to play shooters on PC, so I didn't really give it a fair chance on console.
Comment has been collapsed.
I upgraded my system yesterday primarily to play Fallout 4. Two weeks is such a long time!
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll only play it when certain mods release,
I haven't play Tales of Zestiria too because lack of DLC that been released.
Comment has been collapsed.
Huh? You don't want it because they released a complete game? Doesn't make sense to me.
Comment has been collapsed.
So-so so-so. After buying new PC Witcher 3 is absolutely top priority ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Already finished Witcher 3 and the first expansion :(
I wish they showed us more of the world and quests of Fallout 4, they have barely showed anything so still don't know what to expect from it, really.
Comment has been collapsed.
Witcher 3 is really a work of art. Even though I'm a huge Fallout fan, I really hope Witcher 3 wins every GOTY award just because all that was done by a rather small studio for the sheer size of the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you Exinferis. I only played the original and Fallout 2. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are in my wishlist for some time, but I hope sooner or later to take them too.
Regarding Fallout 4 I'm not very enthusiastic, just because I can not play it on the machine with which I am now.:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Best of luck then ^.^
In case you didn't see them, there are two more public giveaways for FO3 (level 1) and FO:NV (level 4)
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?q=fallout
Who knows, maybe you'll own both games real soon ^.^
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you Exinferis, you are very kindly. I will certainly participate, but I am not in a hurry in no way.:) Even now I have a good enough and some even incredibly good games to play, so I will not be bored.
I guess you will soon enter the bunker and we will not hear anything from you soon?:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, yeah, pretty soon. Can't wait to play it. Even saved enough to buy a new graphics card for it. I really hope it's a great game but we'll see in two weeks :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, certainly very soon we all will find out how good it is. Because I think that we can hardly expect anything different from a good game, we just have to see whether it will be a great one.
Comment has been collapsed.
if the writing and quest deisgn is as good as it was in New Vegas, they def yes, but ill wait and see what the peeps say.
Comment has been collapsed.
Pst. Fallout 4 is written by Bethesda. Yes, the same guys who wrote Fallout 3. You know, where half of the quests were "get me infinite amount of scrap metal, 'kaythanks."
Comment has been collapsed.
of course im excited, i cant wait til goty goes down to $5,90 so i can grab a copy too !!
so yeah as excited as one can be knowing how most likely i wont get it to play for another year or two :D
Comment has been collapsed.
So we're only two weeks away from Fallout 4.
I've been waiting for this game for years and when the news finally hit at E3, I had a nerdgasm.
I had a couple of bucks left on my account and decided to make a Fallout: New Vegas giveaway for those who weren't able to play it 'till now. Hopefully the bots won't find it:
