Because they enjoy the strengths more than the flaws? It's not really rocket science here. Most open-world style games launch with some degree of bugs. Witcher 3 has multi-page patchlogs dealing with improvements and bugfixes. Bugs are not inherently the sign of the worst game ever made.

So my ps4 copy is on the way from Amazon but I'm hearing rumblings of hosed framerate on that version would the xbone version be in better shape or no?
Looks like the XB1 version is in worse shape than the PS4 version:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-fallout-4-performance-analysis

I just assumed the PS4 version would outperform the PC version on my setup (i5-2500, 8GB RAM, Radeon HD 7950 3GB) given the recommended specs, but now it looks like it's the other way round. Ah well, guess I'll be doing my vanilla Fallout 4 run on PS4 and then my modded Fallout 4 run a couple of Steam sales from now.

I havent had a plrecription for my eyes in years so the other day I went and got a new one and it hasnt changed. The doctor was like why havent you seen us in 4 years? I told them im scared of op tomietris when the air shoots into your eyes and dilation. They told me my eyes cold get worse....
there might be hope for this game yet because from some streamers i'm seeing they are playing it at 4K with reshade and it looks pretty drat spiffy

nowhere near as good as skyrim or witcher 3, but "we're getting there" so in maybe a eyar or so this game can look as good as skyrim from 2012 or whatevers lol

I dropped one from perception on that build and added to INT, so that the bobblehead for INT, Perception, and Luck would all give me what I need in the end...maybe?

that link is loving up for me now, and i don't think it registered right.



you could subtract sniper for lifegiver, depending on which one you want first. +2 in luck. i think this would cover everything for a good sniper build.

Despite seeing a (possible?) spoiler pic earlier in the thread and all good sense, I got the game (Thank you greenmangaming for the 20% coupon!). Not expecting the world from it, but I liked Fallout 3 for what it is so I ought to get some enjoyment from this.

"PS4's lengthy stretches at the low 20fps range are out of place, given its advantages in every other area" is probably the noteworthy part there.

Fair enough.

I don't care about sniper (never use vats and sway never bothered me), or refractor that much. So I dropped 2 from that, to get life giver + ninja at the beginning. If I'm not getting better criticals I might as well get the ninja multiplier right away. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, you really should have one of the ninja or critical perks right away just to get some bonuses in the early game. Good call. Gonna have to keep this build in mind, since it's p much the polar opposite of the one i'm using first.

I read that part. On balance I'd rather play a game that gets into the low 20s during intense firefights than a game that frequently pauses for a second or two while just wandering around. Either way though it sounds like both console versions aren't very well optimized, so it's not an ideal situation all round. On the other hand, those reviews that even bother to comment on performance seem to arrive at: meh, it slows down in places but it's not a big deal. I guess anyone who demands a consistent 60fps experience at 1080p and is likely to throw a hissy fit if they get otherwise isn't gaming on a console anyway.

I guess to me it depends on how often the one second pause is. But yeah, that digital foundry video where they tut-tut over one console staying at 26 vs 28fps in one part was where I realized I'll never ever care about that level of difference. 30 vs 60, sure, frequent 20 sure. But some poo poo is just looking for stuff to nitpick.

Don't put 10 in anything. You get +1 in every special stat with bobbleheads. 2 will be useless if you're already at 10.

Hmm, not sure if I want to risk it then. i7-03639QM and a 640GTM (2 GBs dedicated RAM) plus 12 GB system is risky.

Trip report: I risked it.

I get between 50-60 FPS on high-ultra settings at 1600x900 (playing on a 16" screen so 1080p isn't worth the performance hit.) Glad I took the plunge and only paid 48$ on GMG over the $80 console price.

I'm sure there's a few more things I can tweak but it's playable.

EDIT: \/ Not in Canada. $80 is our AAA console price now.

Killed a roaming trader for shits and giggles and to see if they would drop any of the cool stuff they had on them, and then Preston throws a huge loving fit and starts attacking me. I wouldn't mind, as I don't particularly care for him, but the fact that he can't die and keeps coming back up to fight me was loving annoying. Luckily I saved before killing the trader so Preston isn't throwing a fit anymore, but golly that was dumb.
