I really need to do my research into jumping over to Intel. This was my first amd build and while yes it is good for budget builds, I am left wanting more performance. I can respect what Amd is doing with their apus but they aren't for me. I am planning on going with Asus for the board again. I've been nothing but pleased with it. I am just overwhelmed with how many boards are available and so many platforms. Lifes caught up with me and my geeky-ness has fallen.

I like the "free world" approach to games in general. The story line is not linear, and you can go off in the game and practically never do the main storyline but still have lots to do. Also, the character building makes almost every person's experience different as most dialogs have multiple outcomes. Primarily it's the connection you get with the characters. If you want to try it cheap, Steam is selling Fallout 3 cheap (I think it was under $5 yesterday). That is a hell of a deal for the amount of content you get.

The game itself is great, a lot of improvements to it's mechanics from FO3 and FO:NV. Just lacked in the amount of story line. I'm sure I haven't done like 400 other side quests, but the fucking Minutemen story line is the absolute worst. Probably the most annoying part of the game for me, with rinse and repeat quests in different locations that you've already discovered, so it's not even like you'll find something new. |

Still, some definite improvements in the mechanics and in the quality of the game, particularly given they are using the same engine as FO3. I was amazed how good it looked (and playable) on my Radeon 7850 video card. I have since upgraded to an R9 390X, at it's just stunning.

Still, I have somewhere around 150 hours in the game and have only done about 4 steps of the main mission.

Her budget build started with a LGA1155 Celeron dual-core CPU and a much older 5000-series Radeon HD, but it always inherits anything I pass down as I upgrade... Maybe I'll upgrade mobo's again so she can get my Ivy Bridge i5. . Only problem is that I see no reason to upgrade from Ivy Bridge at the moment, as it still performs great. |

I'm still playing FO4 since its release. Level 50 now and I'm still discovering new areas. I did a sneak playthrough so I never touched power armor or used companions until now.
Strong with a kneecapper super sledge is pretty awesome. Tried other companions but they all have a terrible shot and waste ammo. Also playing on the hardest difficulty will give you more legendary drops.

It doesn't give you a lot of notice, in fact one or two got past me and just ended up in the completed mission list. Just a pop-up in the upper left corner telling you the mission failed. Seems to happen more with things that end up as "Miscellaneous" (or whatever the generic missions get grouped together as at the bottom of the active list). It happens more frequently with the "<settlement> is under attack" missions that pop up.

I'm still trudging along in Hobo Simulator 4, gathering mechanical fans and telephones. Playing without fast travel is insane, methinks. I'm not a huge fan of the wide world simulation. I hated all the MMORPGs, partly for that reason and partly for the constant grind. Oh, look, more raiders. I can kill a deathclaw in a few seconds. A behmoth is fodder. I'm not even level 40 yet. With most weapons, enemies are one-shot kills. Granted, there's one more level of hardness to step up to. I'm so conflicted on this game, but it certainly is addictive!

As mundane as things like that can be it is something I actually enjoy about the game.
