Looks like it takes place in Massachusetts.

Which Boston skateshop will be featured or have they all been blacklisted?

This has been rumored for so long I'm so hyped it's actually happening. I've played fallout 3 and new Vegas but never owned them only borrowed and I'm gonna buy either 3 or new Vegas to start playing again cause 3 is only $5 and new Vegas is only $15. So which is you guys' favorite between the two?

I really liked New Vegas, one of my favorite games ever.

Go ahead and buy both of them off ebay or a pawn shop. I bought new vegas from a pawn shop for 4 dollars or something ridiculous. But you should play both, really solid games.

As long as it's as good as 3 and New Vegas, I'll play it for hours on end.

Who watched the Bethesda conference? This game looks like it may take over my life. So many new things added. Building your own settlements, layered armor, power suit customization, gun customization, FUCKING JETPACKS. November 10th fella's

Throw away your jobs! Throw away your girlfriends!

Seriously though, my social life is going to take a drastic hit. This game looks absolutely amazing. I don't think anyone besides my coworkers and my girlfriend will see me after this comes out unless she drags me out of the house.
Look I'm not selling anything that doesn't have my jizz on it. I don't care how much is offered.

I've never played a Fallout game, but that E3 footage was absolutely incredible. Will definitely be trying it out. Probably gonna borrow 3 and/or New Vegas sometime this summer to get the feel of it.

I really want to play Fallout 3 but I guess it's not optimized for anything above Windows 7 and I run 8.1(64bit) A shame

Yeah just started like two days ago. It's fun, reminds me of that research stuff you'd do in the xcom reboots.

Not bad for a little (free) fallout hit. I don't really have time to play at home these days but I'm slightly addicted to this at the moment!

Excited about the semi-confirmed Massachusetts locale rumors, been hearing that for several years now!

I really hope it runs like nostalgia (as it is going to be PC only), correct?

Storyline should be rich af, hopefully more so than New Vegas (which was a bit of a let down after coming off of the 3rd installment).

Maybe not by Bethesda officially (I'm pretty sure it has been) but from thousands of trailer analysis' Boston is confirmed, no question.

Can't wait, looks super fun! But I'm wary of the recommended system requirements, seems heavily skewed towards Intel based CPUs and GPUs.  :-\

Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
Intel Core i7 4790 3.6 GHz/AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz or equivalent
8 GB RAM
30 GB free HDD space
NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB or equivalent

I've been putting off upgrading my PC for so long, but I'll probably have to at least get a new GPU for this. Do you really think an AMD graphics card would have issues? I've only ever used NVIDIA but there are some good deal for Radeon cards that i've seen lately.

I feel ya, I've recently updated my PC after 5 years. I spent around $400 and got 8 more gigs of ram, H60 liquid CPU cooler, GTX970 Windforce, Samsung 840 Pro SSD and a S340 NZXT white case (which is REALLY pretty!) used/refurbished off eBay. I've never had issues with AMD cards, Crossfire motherboards cost less than SLI ones, probably because you need two x16 PCI-E ports for SLI, Crossfire can use x4. AMD always seemed like better future proofing on a budget. I think you'll be fine with a strong AMD card, but you could get away with a cheaper card if you go the Nvidia route, at least for Fallout. Newer AMD cards surpass Nvidia when it comes to DirectX 12, but fallout won't be running DX12. There are advantages to each I guess.

But the AMD CPU requirements for this game is insane.  :(

That's fair, I'm reading up on it some more and it looks like I'm sticking with NVIDIA, at least for the time being. All that for $400 though? God damn. I've never really thought to check ebay for used parts but that's a really good idea. How do you like the 970? Feel like it will last for a while? It seems like the 970 would suit my needs, but the 980 is pretty tempting. Also I'm going to want a SSD...I get the feeling like the only component I'll have left at the end of this will be my case, if that.

I love the GTX 970! It handles Witcher 3, BF4 and Star Wars battle front beautifully! 80+ consistent FPS on Ultra settings. Made my Xbox one a dedicated Netflix machine. There was an issue with Nvidia making false claims about the ram capabilities of the 970. Along with Evga's faulty fan bearings, it's made the card really cheap to pick up second hand. I scored one for 240 including shipping. 980 seemed like overkill for me, I couldn't justify the other 100 dollars towards it. SSD are a huge upgrade from old disk drives, super fast, you'll love 'em! S340 case is beautiful, I couldn't recommend it enough, it even has mounts (with screws included) to show off your newly acquired SSDs.

God damn, you've sold me on all of this. I've been putting off getting witcher 3 and several other games until I upgrade, that's all very attainable though. I might start playing more than just CSGO and TF2, haha. That case is gorgeous, I like how simple it is. I have an Antec Nine Hundred that I've been running since my first build so I'm probably going to keep it until the fans start to fail (somehow not yet!) but I'm going to bookmark that one for when it's time to move on.

Ok, so I don't know much about PC settings. I actually never played a game on PC until this year (Fallout New Vegas). I want to get Fallout 4. Could I still play the game on my laptop? I played New Vegas without little issues with the exception of the graphics. How do I check my hardware?

Sure, you can check without third party programs. Right click the windows icon on the start menu. Click "run", type "Dxdiag", a window should popup asking if you want to update your drivers. Click "No", and there you go! System will list OS, CPU, RAM, and all that good stuff. Display will show the graphics card you're running along with it's drivers.

Hope this helps.
