Well played it a couple hours last night. Fricken sweet. Graphics are really good. Don't know why people were complaining about that aspect. Gun play is improved a lot but it's still a little jerky. Not sure how I feel about the perk system yet or the inventory system. The settlement seems like a hassle and the builder could use some work.

My first experience stepping out of the vault: I was walkin along trying to get landmarks right off the bat and I'm heading to this house lookin thing and I find a mosquito. I think nothin of it and fire some shots. He drops to half health. Then he fly a angrily towards me. I shoot more he's not dying. Then he kills me . I died by the first enemy you meet.

Mind you I am playing on very hard.

Played for about 6 hours last night @_@.... very tired at work today.

Here's what I can say so far:
  • Game is off to an amazing start, really can feel the improvements made.
  • VATS is still the best way of handling things unless you like wasting ammo. Try to play it like any old FPS and your gunna have a bad time.
  • Luck and all it's perks are REDICULOUSLY godlike.
  • There is a companion early on in diamond city that can largely take care of your hacking/lockpicking needs called Detective Nick Valentine if you feel like running low int.
  • Crafting seems like a good idea.
  • Focus on 2-3 weapons at most but carry lots of ammo types.
  • Find out which companion suits you from early using the interwebs

Eh I don't use vats much. I find with some decent sights you can do fps mode quite well. Combat is improved from when I was playing last night. Got used to it. Ive massacred tons of raiders. Playing on very hard is quite hard in spots. Getting blown up is not fun I'll say that much. People are grenade happy in this game. Also ran into a Yao goi. Thing is a beast. So far only using dog as a companion.

My favorite weapon is my .38 semi auto tactical pipe rifle. It's been good to me. I've also got a bitchin scoped hunting rifle I use for sniping and I still use my tried and true 10mm.

One of my employees brought this in today, just to give me the opportunity to "hold it since I couldn't get one"


.....did I say employee?... I meant ex-employee....

I loaded her up and played for almost 3 hours last night.

Game is friggin sweet, my time went by in the blink of an eye.

Yes the game is using the same old graphics engine from Fallout 3 and Skyrim so even though they have updated as much as possible it is still outdated looking.
Game is still beautiful though.

So much to do and explore I only finished the first 4 missions.
Look a gas station.
Look crafting tables.
Look dead people, wut they got?
Oh shit I'm getting attacked, WTF are these?
Wow my dog is kicking ass!
VATS I love it!
Cool headshots make heads explode!

Cannot wait to waste my weekend on this.

Anyone plays other music from the era to play while playing?

They didn't add much new music this time around & prerecording DJ event thing comes on too often to make the radio station enjoyable.

There is a mod on PC that addes lots music.
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/637

Such as

    Disagree, easier to take care of multiple enemies without VATS. Maybe get one or 2 shots in VATS then forget about it
  • Luck and all it's perks are REDICULOUSLY godlike.
    I put barely any points into luck. Not really worth it IMO, until you've already got your basic character layout done.
  • There is a companion early on in diamond city that can largely take care of your hacking/lockpicking needs called Detective Nick Valentine if you feel like running low int.
    Nice spoiler lol
  • Crafting seems like a good idea.
    So many options, it's crazy, but I don't have the patience to go and find materials
  • Focus on 2-3 weapons at most but carry lots of ammo types.
    Couldn't agree more
  • Find out which companion suits you from early using the interwebs
Replies in bold.

So far I've put around 60 hours into the game. I took three days off of work, and have withdrawn from having a social life. Will probably continue having no life until 11 Dec, as that is when I told the girlfriend that I'd be over the "ooohhhhh, shiny new Fallout" phase. I'm not a huge fan of the new perk system, though no level cap means you can max everything out.

I'm at level 50, and very early into the storyline, so I'm grossly over leveled for everything. Kill most enemies with 1 or 2 shots. Don't want to progress much further as I'm not sure which faction I want to continue with at this point, and I'd like to max out all my companions as well.

A little bit disappointed with the map size, but I'm not surprised. They have to make DLC more appealing somehow.

Was out exploring last night and ran into Swan... Holy shit, I wasn't ready! Managed to finish him off by plinking at him from behind cover for 20 mins. I used up all my ammo and every bit of health I had, but the power fist was definitely worth it!

Level 26. Just barely killed Kellogg. Have numerous partners. Enjoying game. So far my favorite companion is strong even though he hates when I pick locks and hack terminals.

Only companion I ever use is Dogmeat... With the Lone Wanderer perk you still get the damage/carrying boost if you have Dogmeat because he doesn't technically count as a companion.
