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.

*STARES AT MINIMUM*
*STARES AT SPECS*
8gb of ram? nnNNOOOOOOOOO

Uh.

Wasn't the point behind having relatively outdated graphics in Fallout 4 that it wouldn't. You know. Take so much resources to run?

I mean, I remember people talking about this, like, a few days ago. In this very thread.

[Putnam]

8 GB is basically a bare minimum these days. That's $50 of RAM. A graphics card of the same cost will get you a Radeon HD 5450 or Geforce GT610. Them's youtube cards. From 3 years ago.

The game is designed for PS4 and Xbox One. Both are essentially mid-end computers. Both have 8 GB ram.

Yeah, that was weird. I just assumed everyone else who was talking like those were reasonable specs had been upgrading their computers, while I hadn't been. :V

But... I have only 4 GB...

I guess it helps that I basically ignore all graphics-large games, but still. 8 GB is insanely large, for a game. That's like, 4 Diablo IIs. And that's terrible.

I do think the minimum specs are okay (even though it recommends a Quad-Core on the AMD side).
I mean, I hadn't touched my PC in 5 years except for parts that stopped working. So I'm not complaining at the game or anything. I just got out of touch with things and wasn't expecting a 2GB VRAM minimum.

The only thing I find weird are the Recommended CPU specs, AMD FX-9590? What are you going to do with those 8 cores at 4.7 Ghz? Simulate the entire wasteland and the surrounding planets?
I bet an i5 would suffice too.
I kind of can't grasp the 8GB. But since people said some interiors are also loaded - which remove constant loading screens - I can sort of understand.

But yeah, I'm most definitely out of touch with specs and all that since I've been mostly playing indie titles nowadays.

>> Took me too long to realize that those things really probably were all discussed to death.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I can't even afford the game! D:
I'm mostly just hoping against hope I'll be able to /launch/ the damn thing.

[miauw62]

For things like Fallout, CPU is hardly ever a bottleneck.
I do agree that 8GB of RAM is a very reasonable amount nowadays, and also that old Radeon cards do pretty well. My old Radeon HD Mobile 5650 ran far more than it had any right to, until it started overheating a lot and creating crash-inducing artifacts on things like Aero window frames and YouTube videos.

[Gabeux]

It'll be you the one sneaking around, my friend.

I think while I wait, I should write a book: "How to cope with hype."
If I know one thing, is that one doesn't need to be successful in a subject in order to write a bestseller about it.

EDIT: Coping, while listening to this.

[miauw62]

You cannot cope with hype.
There are no brakes on the hype train.

I gave in and preordered.

At least Steam has the whole refund system. Also, I hope they don't try to sneak in the 'pay for mods' thing with FO4. I suspect they won't given the title's size, but then again...

So did I. And I was so proud that I had managed to not give in.

I feel like I just guilt-ate seven cakes.

Yes children. Break and give in. Bahahaha

Next time we should make a group of the ones who tried to not buy it and failed. I only bought it last week, and I was trying so hard to ignore it.
At least when we all break it will be synchronized and beautiful.

ATOM BOMB BABY ATOM BOMB

[Shadowlord]

I still haven't bought it and still have no intention of doing so (Why would I? I'm below the minimum specs, and if I was going to upgrade, I certainly wouldn't do it for a game which will probably be buggy as hell for the next 9-12 months). :V

[GiglameshDespair]

I do question the motivation behind coming into a thread for a game specifically to go "WELL I WON'T PLAY THIS".
It feels rather... well.

[miauw62]

Anyway I should go to sleep probably so I'll already change the title now, might not have time in the morning.
It makes me sad that I will be unavailable for all of Wednesday, both because of this and HOMEWORK.

[Gabeux]

He's doing this because he know he's going to break. I can feel it in every packet that comes in through my modem every time he posts about it.

Shadowlord, the wastelands calls to you. You won't be the Lone Survivor in this thread.



Maybe I should stop posting..
