Depends on your ISP and connection. I can do about 5-6 gigabytes per hour with 10mb, and Aussies are notoriously hosed even without data caps as I understand.

why are people excited to preload this? it takes like 20 minutes to download a game in 2015

Not when everyone is doing it the same instant when the launch switch flips. Also not if you have lovely internet.

Pretty much. All in all the only thing anyones going to enjoy is exploring and settlement buiding. The game will get rave reviews and Bethesda will get the positive reinforcement they need to once again not change the poo poo they need to. The engine, the number of VAs, animations, writing, etc.

I'm waiting until the discount comes on the cdkeyslike sites after the game release, but I hope I can at least enjoy it as much as Fallout 3.

Took me 10 minutes and I'm wonder if it will be faster to just download it at release than to unpack it.

Steam used to be really bad at decrypting files upon release, no idea if that's changed since i haven't preordered a game since forever ago

I wish I could be a sneaky hand-to-hand fighter but that poo poo never works. I tried that in Oblivion and it was a disaster. As soon as the poo poo hits the fan you need a gun. I wish there was a way to be good with a sniper rifle but also a kung fu murder machine that throat punches raiders left and right. Basically a green beret.

There is, just have high Agi/Per and take Ninja and Sniper and poo poo, and rely on stealth melee one-shot kills rather than huge damage in melee.

Well, or you live in an area where Comcast's infrastructure isn't poo poo. I pay the same in a big city as a friend of mine pays in a smaller town in Michigan but I get literally 4x his speed.

I need huge damage in melee though. My most cherished moment with Fallout was in Fallout 2 in The Den when I tracked down a jet addict that owed money and when he said no I punched him so hard a portion of his torso was torn off with that satisfying KA-SHPLINGZZ!! sound for critical hits that sounded like a clock inside a watermelon got smashed with a hammer.

Comcast is kind of a big ISP and their service can vary widely depending on where you are.


Also lol at me and my Comcast data cap.

I have been considering getting one of their business class connections.

Slightly less speed for twice the money. But no data cap.

The streamer's said that it's a joke, and he's also considering sending some files to a crack group in order to leak the game early.

We all know that every generation cycle Bethesda spins a bottle on which console gets the better ports and which one gets hosed. I hope you picked the correct method to play the game.

Reports on Gaf are saying the PS4 version is hosed and the Xbone version is good. Ps3 version was hosed last gen. Bethesda just can't handle playstations I guess.

Also everyone is playing the game on Monday via vpn right.
