Fallout 4 went gold yesterday, Bethesda tweeted the picture.

If we buy all of those PC dvd boxes do we get all the necessary files for an offline installation?

Nope, there are some files that you'll have to download from steam: http://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-4-will-require-a-steam-download-even-if-you-buy-it-on-disc/

We all know that this won't affect pirates at all, only the customers.

Only if you accidentally pick up a console version in the process.

 

[Night Goat]

Why do they even bother releasing a boxed version?

My PC has a Blu-Ray drive...

The aim of this study was to calculate the top 10 most anticipated home console games among core gamers for this holiday. In order to work this out we used more than 1 million data points across Twitter, Facebook and Google to work out which games were being discussed among gamers. We also sent out our own survey to core gamers which asked them to let us know which AAA games they would be buying this holiday.

An RPG is the most anticipated game of the season? Truly we live in the age of Incline.

Also, Intel gets in on the PR action:

I don't really understand this case modding stuff. Why spend money on a fancy case when you can get better performance instead?

Fallout 4 on PC on dvd will contain only part of the game, rest you have to download. Pete said that i's to prevent piracy, while console versions are on blu-ray and whole data on disc.

Yeah... no. Steam rips are quite common actually.

But Pete is a retard, so oh well.

Same reason people buy Titans that are barely better than x80ti's

Lol so in Skyrim's editor you can see the users that wrote the quests in-game. Emil didn't write skyrim's main quest, Kurt Khulmann did. In fact, Emil's writing seems to stick mainly to the Dark Brotherhood questline and only that. Majority of skyrim is written by what seems to be Kurt and Jon Duvall. Just an interesting fact.

 

[Metro]

No wonder there wasn't a severed head collection quest.

 

[BobNotHerbert]

Emil was still in blobber mode during FO3, yes? Maybe the lower cholesterol will give him a little brain power to create things like...plot...and logic?

Bethesda realize that only brainwashed gaming journalists would find that ghoul-killing footage that you saw compelling and now regret its existence?

Do you think it's related to all the shit talking the graphics / animations got?
Maybe that's why they shifted over to live action crap.

Separate button to throw grenades.

iPad? Is that like a "reference card" app?

And yeah, I think we knew about the grenades already?

 

[Bubbles]

It was speculated here, but not officially confirmed. At least not to the wider fan community.

We did,, I gotta admit.. having grenades bound to 'g' in new vegas with Project Nevada makes a huge difference..
(AKA I actually use them instead of just selling them)

Too late to send a Codex representative now, I fear.
