The video game thread.

I pre-ordered fallout 4 a few days ago and then realized that my gpu was not up to par so i cancelled the order. what gpu are you all running the game on? I have a nvidia 9800 gt and don't have a ton of money to spend on a new one.

Fallout 4 arriving today ... Pipboy special edition! Spent an extra $60 for a piece of plastic that I will probably use for a grand total of 15 minutes for the rest of my life.

hahahahaha!

So, I'm a couple more hours in. Did some exploring last night and ran into a couple of tough spots. I was worried as everything seems so easy right away.
Ran in to a couple of minor bugs (glitches, not radroaches ), but nothing too bad.
I've found that I use the first person option for shooting a lot in this game. I still use VATs but not that often. First person sucked in the previous games, so I'm glad they made it more functional now.
I have a semi-auto sniper rifle that I'm kicking ass with. Cleared out a building of like 30 raiders with that one gun like it was nothing!

There is an unlimited caps hack out there. I'd never do it, but it's posted on IGN for those of you that like that stuff.

I used a cap glitch in New Vegas and regretted it.

Yeah, I've never been a fan of those glitches/cheats. Maybe after you beat it and have nothing else to do...but not the first time through.

Well said!

I have the Sony expensive wireless headset. It is extremely comfortable and they sound great. However sometimes the signal drops in and out which is annoying

I have a Tritton AXPro, I always liked them although construction was a little flimsy for the price. I'd get a Tritton set for next gen if I was in the market for a new headset.

What do people use for gaming headphones for PS4? Any suggestions/reviews?

I just recently picked up the Playstation Gold headset. Been impressed so far. Good quality for the price! Sound quality is good, good battery life, and they are comfortable.
Wish I would have gotten them sooner.

Yeah, I hate when I try to talk to a guy and my character says something like "Hey Brad", and Brad just looks at me or walks off. Then I press the button again and he may or may not respond.

So over the last few days I've stayed away from the main quests/story. Just been exploring and doing random side quests. Got back to the story and completely forgot my character was looking for his kidnapped baby!

What's everyone's favorite gun so far? I'm maybe level 13, and my go-to is still this rusty sniper rifle. It doesn't have a heck of a lot of power, but it's great for picking people off from a distance (head shots!), then switching over if they get close.
Also, as I mentioned before, in Fallout 4 I notice that I use the first person shooter waaaaaay more than I use VATs. Really the only time I use VATs is when there are multiple badguys and need to slow things down a bit, but other than that this game has become more of a FPS. Which isn't bad I guess...just not "Fallout-y".
