And also, Metacritic.. If we all went by their scoring system as our measuring stick, 9.5/10 games would suck.
The performance is solid for me. God rays and shadow distance on medium and everything else maxed and it stays at a locked 60 fps on my system. It's not Witcher 3 graphically, but I don't understand everyone complaining like it sucks graphically. I always do characters with high luck for lots of damage from critical shots, so I mostly play it like all the other Fallouts, using VATS instead of hip fire and aim down sight. It still feels like an RPG to me since I don't build my character to play it like a FPS.well I don't know what you consider a 'reputable source' but 84 at metacritic is pretty average for a super-hyped game by beloved Bethesda, and the user score is 5.4
that's a pretty big gap, makes me think these 'professional critics' want to remain friendly
I'm not trying to make anything of it, just thought if anyone would notice dated graphics and glitchy performance it would be baseline bum. and wondering what y'all thought of the weak stroy and the dialogue choices that aren't really choices, and that it's no longer RPG, but a FPS with construction simulator...

LOL one of the user reviews that gave it 1/10 had someone ing about how he could stare at a river in Skyrim and how it was so beautiful but that Fallout 4 was ugly. What the does he expect, an urban nucelar wasteland to look like a ing national park like Skyrim?
This is my first fallout and I'm about 5 hours in so far,.. I'm enjoying it. Could never get into Witcher 3 (which is weird because I enjoyed witcher 2), and I haven't played the new MGS yet, so this is easily my favorite game of the year so far.
I have an amd 6300 and performance hasn't been too bad. 55-60 fps with dips to the 40-50 range in combat. I was walking through some city and dropped down to 30 fps though, can't remember where.
the new MGS is pretty solid, tbh... just a different game though...
Probably Lexington, that's the first big city known to drop CPUs to their knees.
Can't you keep god rays and shadow distance on max? Haven't played in a couple of weeks but never had it dip below 60 fps yet on my ASUS GTX 970.
I don't have an unlocked cpu, so I haven't bothered with trying that on max since those are both cpu bound settings. I probably should try them a little higher though since my 970 is at about 40-60% usage most of the time (I also cap at 60 fps though).
Ah. What CPU you running?
http://ark.intel.com/products/80910/...Cache-3_40-GHz
It's basically a locked i7-4770 with no igp but marketed as a server processor. I really hate ever dropping under 60 fps so I always go a little under the settings to stay at mostly 60 fps, I always try to do my settings so it's always at 60 fps.
Intel finally wised up with Skylake though by only allowing the Xeon E3 cpus to work with server boards. In Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, and Haswell you could buy Xeon E3 CPUs that are just i7s in a different box and with ECC memory support turned on for $50 less than the corresponding i7, and with Haswell this has started becoming popular.

Actually it's more like an i7-4771 than i7-4770, since it's Haswell Refresh and not original Haswell (OG Haswell had horrible temperatures).
I played ground zero, just haven't gotten around to phantom pain.
I'm waiting to upgrade my rig when the new nvidia cards come out sometime next year(I'm assuming)
I know I'm going to want whatever 70 or 80 series card they come out with considering how huge a jump the 600 series was over the 500 series last time Nvidia did a node shrink in 2012. 500 series was 40 nm, 600 series was 28 nm, and they have been stuck at 28 nm forever. But Pascal will be 16 nm. Well, assuming they don't pull an AMD and just rebrand Maxwell cards at all but the highest end, as no way I'm paying $1000 for a an.
I'm running i5-4690k, but then again I have it overclocked in 4.4 Ghz. I'm guessing the pure clock boost is a plus.
im definitely getting the 70series. Seems to usually be the best bang for buck. I'm only doing 1080p gaming though, 80 series would be overkill for me lol
I hope they don't gimp the 70 series. On one hand they didn't sell a whole lot of 980s since even with the 3.5 GB VRAM the 970 performs pretty closely. But then on the other hand the 970 sold like crazy and they shifted the new norm from the $250 price point the 760 occupied to the $330 price point the 970 did. So hopefully they'll put out another really badass 70 series card instead of what they did in the 700 series, which was rebrand the 680 as the 770 but with higher clocks and then have a huge gulf in performance between it and the 780.
Card like that might be a waste with an FX-6300 though, you'd have to jump to an i5 to not have a massive bottleneck.

SPOILER ALERT*****
Fallout 4 is ok, VATs is cool. The storyline is whack though... "It's my son who I call father who is twice my age who leads the organization that killed his mother"
Damn, I finally got to the part of the game where I have to make a portal into the Ins ute, and can't decide if I should side with them or the Railroad. Minutemen are pussy ass gots and I hate the BoS this game. I usually go against the slavers since I'm not a redneck racist red state bubba from the confederacy tbh, but I feel like I have to side with the Ins ute after the events of Fallout 3. LOL I made my character Brody from Homeland, wonder how Shaun is going to respond to pops hitting Piper in every soiled mattress in the Commonwealth.

I did NOTHING with the Railroad... just did the deal to get into the Ins ute and that was it. Was easy to go to their place and shoot them up.
That's why I wanna play it again doing a bit more with other factions. I agree about the BoS being gots this game, tbh... I also wanna finish it with the Minutemen...
I can't believe you got through the game so quick. Fallout 4 is the only game I have played since November, and I'm just now coming close to finishing it. God damn it, I can't take my Piper to the Ins ute. I had her all dressed up like Nora to show off to Shaun too.I did NOTHING with the Railroad... just did the deal to get into the Ins ute and that was it.

And I was going to try to hook him up with Nat until I found out the little er is 60. Oh well, it would still be interesting I guess, in an Avante kind of way tbh.
Holy , the mods. Shooting Shaun out the Fat Man
Finally beat this . Man, I can't believe people hate the storyline so much. I guess the main quest was pretty short, but I thought it was interesting. LOL Piper whined to me after killing the Brotherhood and putting the Ins ute in charge, but was still dtf.
Is it bad that I gave Nora's wedding ring to Piper and moved us across the street? Cait lives with us too. Here is a picture of the happy couple.
