Calling them a power armor gang implies multiple gangs who all have power armor. Tunnel Snakes confirmed.

i really like the look of this game and surely bethesda bringing it forward a day means they are quietly confident.

really just be apprehensively positive. Hope for the best, understand if it is not there. Please friends. Please.

The date hasn't changed. That was a display error.

I'm also excited for the game, but the insane fervor with which people defend the game against real criticisms is mind boggling. I would assume it's because they're projecting so much of themselves onto a game that they've waited five years for, so they have to violently protect the idea that it will be perfect despite a shitload of flaws in the leaked footage. I'm going to buy it on day 1, and I don't care if you don't find muddy graphics or poo poo AI to be concerning, but people in this thread apparently can't tolerate the idea that other people are put off by that. The defenders are 100% worse (and have been over the whole course of the thread since release date) then the people who are actually trying to discuss the game in the game discussion forum.

i think the most appropriate phrase in regards to the criticism is:

its not what you're saying but the way that you're saying it.

It's going to be bad if you wanted a totally different game that was nothing like every other modern fallout or elder scrolls game, it's going to be good if you like the sort of game it is.

I'm really upset Bethesda expects me to overlook the incredible stupidity of the concept just because the ~~Atom Cats~~ are roughly twenty times as smart as anyone else for figuring out how to clean clothes.

I predict that on the Objective Scale of Good-Game-ness (r), Fallout 4 will fall somewhere between E.T. for the Atari 2600 and Chrono Trigger.

That child will die the second I encounter them somewhere in the wastes when I put a Rock-It Launched teddy bear through their face. Because I'll be hosed if Bethesda makes me care about a family I didn't ask for. If they want to give a Mad Max backstory to the character that's fine, but reprising a loving family drama scenario straight out of Fallout 3 where I have to FIND MY SPOUSE AND CHILD is stupid. I don't care about them, I don't know them. gently caress them.

Still going to buy and play the game next week and have fun.

Should wait until the game comes out and lots of people have it, otherwise the answer is likely just going to be :shrug: cause nobody actually knows yet.

The guy playing on ULTRA said that he was stuttering with a GTX 970, so I'd recommend buying a GTX 980 immediately.

There's one gallery that someone leaked for the PC that looked a lot better than any of the PS4 / Xbox stuff I've seen. There's an article here that has a summary of it: http://wccftech.com/fallout-4-pc-leak/#ixzz3qXJzx2Fo

They say, "The current Ultra Settings screenshots from the PC version were tested on a GTX 970 graphics card running on a first generation Core series processor (Core i7 920) " for the specs the shots were taken on.

Again, because the complaints are asinine, easily ignored, similar to ones found in other games or just based on empty nostalgia.
