I heard on a video "There's too much water" so now I either suicide or disregard reviews. (Oh wait, I've been disregarding reviews for years  )

And all I think about reviews has already been posted:

Fun is what you make it, and most reviewers aren't looking for the fun.

It's a Fallout 3/NV game, which I had fun with. May or may not be worth $60 US but worth buying in the end if you like modern Fallout. That seems to be the consensus.

Then you browse in some places and people go "THIS ISN'T MEINKREFT", "THIS ISN'T FALLOUT 1", "THIS ISN'T POKEMEN". I will always blame the console people.
Regarding water: IGN gave it a 9.5. I won't read the review until I play the game first, but they didn't mention water in the review...which makes me sad.

Meanwhile, I'm shaking my fist at the monitor while Steam reads:
"Fallout 4 - Pre-load complete; unreleased"

Nah, even if they are intentional leaks they still have to send takedowns and such both to keep up the facade that it is a leak and because it makes sense from a marketing viewpoint - people want what they can't have and having the internet scramble to find working links and keep one step ahead in spreading the videos generates more hype than just releasing them outright.

Sigh. Looks like I'll have to wait.

To make me even sadder, Robbaz (my favorite Youtuber for more than a year now - but his humor probably won't appease some folks) has already posted 2 videos today and I can't watch it until I play it.
Even though he said he won't do the main quest and will remove spoilers, I really want to do exactly what I did to FO3 and FO:NV: Just install and launch it.

Damned 4AM launch.

Sigh. Looks like I'll have to wait.

Me too. 9 hours.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I meant until I have some dosh.
And even then there's a good chance it won't work.

DAMN YOU, LACK OF INCOME.

[Gabeux]

Hey, I understand you completely. I could barely get the game, and then I noticed the minimum requirements is 2GB VRAM, and I have 1GB VRAM.

How it will work? I don't know. But it will.

[Graknorke]

Have you considered PC by post?

[Gabeux]

Given that I'll be playing in slideshow mode, I think playing it by post or on my PC will offer the same experience. 
(Then again, my 5 year-old Radeon HD 6870 never ceases to amaze me. I have a little hope that I can play on low graphics settings until I can get a new one in a few months.)

And that video made me cringe for some reason.

8gb of ram? nnNNOOOOOOOOO

[Graknorke]

Well hey RAM is the easiest and cheapest (essential) piece of hardware to upgrade. So that's not too bad.

[Putnam]

My GTX 580 died, so I'm running on an Radeon HD 5570. Probably not going to bother with fallout 4 for now heh

Maybe not Todd Howard, but Pete Hines for sure.

Edit: I mean c'mon, you can't tell me you don't immediately think of the "Edgar Suit" scene in Men In Black after looking at this picture

I was going to say, "easiest if you have a motherboard that can handle it." RAM is still fairly cheap for laptops, assuming you don't have a Mac or other laptop that doesn't allow upgrades.
