I swore I was never going to buy an XboxOne (or at least not until it had been around for a while and it was a lot cheaper). I am an advlt with a family, and limited disposable income, and I just don't have enough time to play games to make it worth the extra purchase. I was fine with my ancient original Xbox360, I had enough games just waiting to be played on that system to keep me busy for a while. Or so I told myself.

And then I saw that Fallout 4 was coming out. So what did I do? Pre-ordered a Fallout4 Xbox One bundle from Gamestop, complete with a Fallout 4 faceplate sticker.

Damn you, Fallout, why do you have to be so addicting?

At least now I'll also be ready for the next Mass Effect.

Nope, I already jumped ship to current gen back in February thanks to bloodborne, but it is the first Beth game that I play on console.

I jumped ship a month after the consoles were released. Wasn't worth it, all I had to play for months was Battlefield 4 over and over and over again. Lucky for you, you missed the slue of mediocre repetitive and monotonous games that we seemed to get for 2 years.

Yes, I went with Xbox One just for this title.

I have a history: I bought my 360 because FO3 was coming out for that platform and I was tired of chasing PC upgrades for gaming.

Yea no joke..I got my ps4 about a month after release...played ghosts on it for a few weeks, and was like what now?..good thing I kept my PS3...

Yep a new Bethesda game is the only reason I have an xbox 1 right now, and Oblivion was what made me get a 360.

yup bought an Xbox one for FO4 & the next installment of Deus Ex

yup same here I am done w/ having to run out & buy new components for a PC every 8 to 12 months

I just replaced my 5 year old video card that was still running games just fine

idk where you get these timeframes. you don't have to upgrade every time a new series comes out.

TBH, no. I got Xbox One for the "Forza" car games (FM5 & 6, FH2).

That being said, I figured the next FO & TES games would be on next-gen consoles. So I'd be getting Xbox One sooner or later, I opted for sooner. It was a good call, too, as $$ is real tight at the mo. $90 for FO4 was doable, but there's NO way I could drop $500 on a console at this time.

I kept my 360 for a while, but now that Minecraft, GTA5 and World of Tanks are on the One, the 360 is a paperweight. Not that I've played anything but FO4 for like 2 1/? weeks tho

for optimal performance you do sure some graphics cards really do last the distance and some don't. It's been my experience that new games are really set up for the newer cards / processors and anything more than a year old from the initial release is out of date add to that all the possible combo's of motherboards processors GPU's & all their related drivers & for some releases you have a nightmare of chasing down comparability problems I was a PC gamer for many many years just sick & tired of buying a new top of the line machine / component only to have it pretty much outdated within 6 months

I bought a PS4 for the sole purpose of playing Fallout 4. I have been on the edge of my seat waiting ever since I first heard the first official announcement that it was coming. Everytime I'd hear Dion singing The Wanderer on the Fallout 4 TV commercials I'd come running in the room all giddy like a huge school girl with a beard and my wife would look at me like I was nuts. And I probably am. Some folks get it, others don't. The ones that don't ... well ...

I've been out of work for quite a while but I told my wife begged my wife that no matter what I had to get a PS4 and Fallout 4 the second Fallout 4 was released. So, I started putting everything on my credit card and paying it off in full every month, which we have always done anyway, to accumulate points. We've had some very major expenses come up in the last year so I ended up with enough points on my card to get a PS4, a docking station with cooling fans, Fallout 4, Far Cry 4, and the new Wolfenstein one on Amazon for $171. I can't even remember the name of the new Wolf one, but it was on sale so I snagged it while it was cheap.

Wolf and Far Cry 4 are still wrapped in plastic sitting on a shelf in one of the bedroom closets and I haven't watched TV since two days after Fallout 4 was released. I wouldn't pay Amazon the extra $4 bucks they wanted so I could receive the game on release day, so I had to wait an extra two days. I'm sure all the horrible things going on in the world are still going on just fine without me being bombarded with it on the nightly news.

I am 100% completely and thoroughly addicted to Fallout 4. I honestly don't know what I would do if I had to go to work every day, which I will have to do here eventually. I'd be snortin' ground coffee and sugar to keep going. Actually, one cup of regular tea does about what 6 cups of coffee does to me for some odd reason. Just a friendly tip there for all you fellow all night gamers out there.

Man, if they had games like this when I was a kid, I honestly don't know what would have happened to me. I'd be living in a van down by the river or something. When I was growing up an Atari 2600 was pretty easy to walk away from ... but this ... this is almost wrong. These games almost shouldn't be allowed to be made. It's more addicting than all the other vices I can think of. I know it sounds like I'm complaining, and I am, but my God I love it so.

The only reason I took the time to write this was because I have a murdering headache and had to take a break.

Oh ... and now with this new building and settlement stuff ... I am so screwed. Someone send help please. One of those big dogs with a tiny barrel of supplies on his neck or something. Christmas is coming and we're having company stay here for 7 days. I'm already getting the shakes just thinking about being away from it for that long.

90$ for FO4...500$ For a console...where are you shopping? I paid 60$ for the game..my ps4 few weeks after it came out was 400$..they're even cheaper now..

Every 8-12 months?!?!

If you get solid components the first time, then they should last you easily for three years.

I just got rid of my old gaming laptop that was playing games like starcraft II for over 4 years.

I currently have a PS3 and looked up the features of the PS4 and Xbox One but due to me mostly using my PS3 as a PVR I decided to get a new PVR instead. The trusty old PS3 with probably be packed away in the cupboard to gather dust. I just don't get how people can play First Person Perspective games with the controllers, it does my head in. I guess I fall into the "Can't teach an old dog new tricks" crowd.

Yup.... I bought a PS4 just for Fallout 4

PC players aren't immune. I recently bought a gtx 970 - which helped my game a lot. But not quite enough. So, I am about to invest in a new rig later today. All totaled, I'll be spending about $1600 US just to play Fallout 4. I'm convinced I'm an idiot for doing so.

Correct.

I got next gen for the exclusives man, Got my PS4 for "The Order" and the X-Box One for "Halo 5".

I have PS4, but I always play Bethesda game on PC.

Obviously will have one or two artistic mod at some time.

PC much more powerful too.

I was going to buy a PS4 around Christmas but FO4 gave me a better reason to get in a few months earlier. Loving it. The little things on the controller alone make it better than a PS3. The light bar changing color depending on if your light is on or your are in PA, Headphone jack in the controller so all headphones are basically wireless and a nice touch pad. I couldn't be happier with the console or the game.

Yep. Still have mad games to play on my 360. Got an X1 for my birthday in July, and it sat largely unused until F4 dropped.

yeah i did xbox one

Try having 400+ games and only playing maybe 150 of them.... yeah. I have a backlog of games that need to be played.
