@tomahawk08: Yes I took a week off work which was always going to happen once we heard the release date. Any Bethesda Game Studios game will get similar treatment, they haven't let me down yet. Tired but if you like the settlement building aspect to the game then it really is a game within a game. Best game I have played at this point in time, period.
@dctcool: If the planet was flat and all time zones were equal then you'd be correct. Unfortunately for you and your angry response the planet isn't flat and there are in fact different time zones. As of right now, I can tell you that the game has been released here for 55 hours, I posted my comment 6 hours ago so at the time of posting it had been playable here for 49 hours. Think a little before frothing at the mouth champ, we don't all live in the US.
I haven't encountered a single problem on the PS4 in 30 hours of gameplay. I had a couple of massive framerate drops in The Witcher 3 fighting 5 creatures in a swamp within 3 hours of gameplay. Fallout 4 is excellent, best game I have played in a long time, I'll pick it up on the PC also once some meaningful mods start to surface. Meaningful doesn't include Iron Man or Thomas the Tank Engine playable characters either. There aren't many games that I'd buy twice but this is one of them.
@tomenigma: 18 hours into PS4 and have had no bugs or glitches and no performance issues. Early days of course but 18 hours is a decent amount of time to get a feel for it.
Without question, GOTY with Bloodborne coming in second. Graphics are excellent, the environment and objects, etc are very, very nice the ONLY questionable graphics are 'some' average NPCs and at times poor lip syncing. Gameplay matters though and this thing has it in spades.
An example of why graphics aren't THE most important thing (everything is to be honest not just graphics) is The Order 1886. That has some absolutely beautiful graphics set in London and incredibly smooth animation but is it the best game ever made? Far from it, I actually really enjoyed it but there are many better games. Fallout 4 is one of them and the best one I've played in quite some time.
Drinking and sleeping in NV was NOT a challenge, it was a chore and tbh I only ever (I think twice) suffered from it when I insta travelled long distances (which should have been disabled), even then as soon as you get a debuff, pause, open inventory , drink and eat to remove buff and continue, no problem whatsoever. Bullet weight wasn't a problem because I stored it and only carried what I required.
I wish Bethesda had put in a trophy or achievement for survival mode, can 'only' save on sleeping, no fast travel available and cannot change the difficulty. That would be a challenge and a worthy achievement.
@zinten: The Bloody Baron was easily the best quest in the game, the main quest (even though Bloody Baron was a part of that) was a drawn out convoluted mess. Just my opinion of course but I'm glad you enjoyed it. The whole game was over rated in my opinion. I think CDPR will do a much better job with Cyberpunk.
Hopefully lessons will be learned from The Witcher 3, poor controls, convoluted story, repetitive quests, repetitive environments, more than 4 npc models, more than 4 voice actors for those 4 npcs, huge amount of bugs and glitches at launch, horrid theft system, ridiculously bad world object interaction, can't pick up and move objects in the world, poor economy, pointless resource gathering, horrendously long load times and angry defensive prepubescent fanboys that defend the game rabidly because it has some tits in it. Fix all of that and this game will be great.
