There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

Decrypting. By which I mean patching. Don't call it that, though. It's just 28 more minutes to reflect on how much I'll hate this game because polygon didn't like it.

"Your reaction to Fallout 4 will depend greatly on your expectations. If you're a fan of the series - or at least Bethesda's rebooted first-person take on it - then you'll find everything you wanted, and more. If you despair of Bethesda's creaking game engine, with its frequent glitches, stutters and occasional fatal crashes, then you'll also find everything you feared."

Hurray, something for everyone!

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
Yeah I went by word of mouth, probably some troll. It's a 9.5.

Eurogamer gave it a recommendation, but had this to say;

So yeah you're gonna get the usual janky mess on consoles. Steam all the way for me.

I wonder how many quests will have the secret last objective: Open the console and spawn the object that was meant to appear at this point.

We need to step up our game and make people think 9.5 is the new 8. Unacceptable and insulting unless its a perfect 10.

Unlocking via VPN now and its hilarious to me this even works.

I don't even understand why a global digital service would have timezones other than for pricing. GMT is the one true god.

Has anyone who ordered fallout4 on Green Man Gaming gotten their activation code yet? I got one for the season pass via email but not for the full game, and when I go to the Green Man account page I don't have any games in my library.

Does it set itself automatically based on your system? I usually have to tweak it a bit, I just don't want to have to flit in and out of game for an hour making sure it run smooth before getting into it.

Only 8.5 hours of work left. :(

Those codes went out days ago, if it's not even in your games > steam games (not library) list then you might have a problem.

On the Games tab, you should see a "Steam Games" with a little > triangle beside it. Click that triangle.

My RAM and CPU are well below the minimum (but can run Witcher 3 and Skyrim fine), game auto detected settings to High.

the game was an unplayable mess. nothing worked and the framerate was bad. the graphics are mediocre at best and at one point the console stood up on cartoon legs and walked over to my sleeping infant's crib, crawled inside, and strangled my child to death. the narrative was thought provoking. 8.5/10
