I am having trouble making my mind up on this one. Basically the quandry for me comes down to:

PC: More convenient to play, but buying a digital copy likely limits my access to this game when Steam shuts down.


PS4: Bethesda's PS3 Skyrim disaster. But maybe that had to do with the unconvential hardware of the PS3? The positive would be having a physical copy.

Option 3: Don't fucking buy a Bethesda game on a console, and if you are going to buy it on a PC, you buy it like on a fucking steam sale when enough mods are out and the community created enough things to turn Bethesda's shitty game into a mildly less shitty one, at the least less broken.

Personally I'm a bigger fan of option 4: Don't buy Bethesda's games period, because you should spend your money on good games and not video game aids.

But people cry when they hear about that option.

My brain tells me to buy it on PC, but my heart wants it on the PS4, just for the physical nature.

PS4 is not PS3 Aspro....totally different ballgame. PS3 was a horribly designed machine, PS4 is not. PS4 is basically the Xbox 360 of the modern era....its the console that was designed the best and the easiest to push to the limits. Sony and Microsoft essentially flip-flopped positions in hardware this gen. If buying on console, PS4 is the way to go.

I have a friend who is a major Xbox fanboy and even though he has both consoles, he still buys everything on Xbone. I can't help but laugh at him. Why would you get the inferior version just because of the name on the box? Does the color of the box make you enjoy the game more?

With tears of joy, I hope.

Would I lose my gamer license (assuming I even have it anymore) if I said I have no idea what Fallout is? It's a FPS right? It sounds like one.

How did you miss all the hype over Fallout 3?

New Vegas is pretty alright. Yes I know that's Obsidian.

New Vegas transcends most games. I loved it, much like I hear people talk about MGS5, that is what I feel about F3:NV.

It's Morrowind in a post-apocyliptic setting. I came to it late, only after beating morrwind and Oblivian. Western RPG. The hook is you make your own stories.

I trust my PS4 more than my PC, even if I do like to have extra money. PS4 it is.

New Vegas was actually made by a dev that knows how to make a RPG, and a Fallout game while we're at it.

You hate Bethesda the way Carnage hates Nintendo. These guys will know what I mean.

Nintendo is actually good at their job. Bethesda blows cock.

So, what if Nintendo's job was to blow cock? Do you think that they would not do a good job? I would think they would apply their usual level of polish.

Nintendo actively finds ways to do something stupid with Metroid. If anything they have shown evidence they would be terrible at blowing me off.

Okay. So, it's decision time. I am pretty confident I'll go the PC route.

Don't you have a good PC? It would be silly to settle for the 30 faps version of Fallout 4.
