Well hello Bex... I'm on Xbox one, installing now...
Hello gdjman

I don't have an Xbox one so need to play it on my boyfriends PS4. Which is fine, only problem is I imagine we are going to be fighting over who gets to play it first

I am still waiting for my amazon delivery...

I've never played a Fallout Game. Is it a FPS or something else? I'm not a huge fan of FPS, but I have heard so much buzz about the game

It's a roll playing game.

It's an RPG. Games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Skyrim and the Witcher 3 for example. You do have weapons but it doesn't really feel like an FPS, like you can't needlessly waste your ammo, killing enemies are harder and levelling up will improve your gun skill etc.

Not to make you feel worse but for the first time I ordered with GAME instead of Amazon (Free bobblehead - Couldn't resist) and it came out today on launch day I'd use the free time to hide the PS4 away from your boyfriend

Does involve FPS elements but like mentioned above is also heavily roleplaying. Though you can use something called VATS. Effectively is slows time and you pick and choose targets on the enemy. Not completely reliable, but you can level it up using perks (basically a skill tree). Seems like melee could be a lot of fun as well in this version.

Yep... Still patiently waiting here too, don't fancy my chances of getting to play this on release day. Definitely pre-ordering and buying in store next time, Royal Mail and Amazon just can't be trusted.

Simply Games or The Game Collection are the two best places to pre order.

In most cases I've come across, Amazon have been spot on but the delivery person/company is the one who messes things up, be it courier or Royal Mail.

Put a complaint in to Amazon, though. Always worth it.

Yeah I think I will in future. I don't use Amazon much and just assumed next day delivery on Prime meant in the daytime but from the tracker thing it looks like it's going to be definitely evening!

I just got a free 6 month prime student trial which is why I did it this way.

lol

Depending on which courier is handling it for Amazon, it can be anything up to 9pm... it's still "Next Day"...

This happens a lot when big games are launched - puts a lot of stress on the couriers on top of their regular workload. Last time it happened to me was with Witcher 3 - came at about 7.30pm. You're dealing with a lot of factors, here...

I know I just didn't even think of this

I understand the extra workload, I wouldn't mind but I'm so impatient today!

I'm liking it. The environments and many of the areas look amazing, the lighting in particular looks incredible, VATS is still really satisfying to use and there's tons of weapons, armour and customisations. Also think the character models look really good in 3rd person now, and in cut scenes, and the story is relatively un-convoluted. Not even started on the settlement building yet.

havent had chance to play anymore today but from what i played last night its awesome, yes it starts out a bit slow but this is a potentially 100+ hour game, you cant expect it to be all guns blazing from the start

I've also ordered the hardcover strategy guide and my email states that they are packaged together, not sure if that's why I'm still waiting, my tracking info states that the item is "out for delivery". Maybe it will turn up, we'll see.

I was waiting in for my copy. Went onto Amazon and realised I'd never ordered it. Silly me. Will arrive tomorrow, but I reckon I might end up giving up if it's anything like Fallout 3 although I loved NVegas. We'll see.

Only played a couple of hours but really liking it so far. Keep getting distracted though, every building I want to go in and explore and graphically I think it looks good. Love the radio, tapping my feet with the music while shooting limbs off lol

I do worry about my dog safety than my own....

I just noticed I could scrap everything in the area, that gave me a lot more materials to work with. You can even scrap trees to turn them into wood and any cars in the area into metal.
