Honestly I'm looking forward to it. I just can't decide on a Radeon 280x or 390. I'm leaning more towards a 390 but I really don't know the difference between the two.

Fury X with HBM. 400 GB/s of VRAM bandwidth, that's 1 byte for every award Fallout 4 will get.

I am not an egghead. I am well-read.
I wonder how well the UI will scale from the console version to the PC. Upon Skyrim's release, the UI was ... functional, shall we say, but the size of the text and the organization was lacking. Didn't it take forever for SkyUI to come out because the whole inventory/equipment/perk tree system was one big Flash file?

The thing I liked best about Fallout 3/NV was exploring and investigating the little setpieces that Bethesda/Obsidian set up. Here we see a junkie who OD'ed on Jet in a ruined hotel, here we have two lovers who curled up as the bombs fell, here we have a house abandoned in the middle of dinner, that sort of thing. I like finding the little vignettes and piecing together what they show.

Yeah the pre-release Skyrim thread was also a struggle between people who wanted to talk about the game and people who wanted to endlessly post IT'S JUST GOOD. Maybe there needs to be a carebear containment zone and then a regular discussion thread, hard to tell.

If that thread was anything like the ones on the official Bethesda forum (and looking at this thread, it probably was) then "talking about the game" meant moaning about how great Morrowind was and video games will never be the same.

People who like a game need their own Carebear Nanny State, so as not to distract from all the vital, edgy insights like 'Game is poo poo' and 'You're brain damaged if you don't agree'

I'm looking forward to the game, but I don't feel the need to defend it from criticism or complain that there are people saying that it might be bad. Nobody here has played Fallout 4, so I think it's pretty dumb to whinge about people pointing out flaws from leaks.

Nah, as far as I can tell the current wave of "I'm going to play it and nobody can stop me!" posts are in response to the leaks yesterday looking kinda maybe not that great.

If I recall correctly the SkyUI release that just changed the font sizes was released pretty quickly, but from what I've seen of the leaks the menu text isn't as obnoxiously large as it was in Fallout 3 so maybe there won't be any mandatory patches.

Oh, yeah, that's pretty much the same here, I'm not gonna defend poo poo about it either, but it's got a lot of stuff that interests me nonetheless. At the very least it looks like a more fun modding platform than New Vegas was. Obviously looks better, too, not being on an engine build from a decade ago.

It's more like judging the game by pictures made by shaky webcams is kinda weird and even then the complaints are not that interesting.

I mean the biggest complaint generally is that the game is going to play like Fallout 3 and I'm not sure how anyone is surprised or how that's a bad thing.

No. Now that they updated the crafting system, it's *all* useful. The new thing will be hunting down all the junk so that you can make a 19 story flamethrower penis for your dog to live in.

I tried playing Morrowind multiple times over a period of like 5 years and it was always really really bad.
