They really should have made it on an engine that isn't hilari-bad.

i honestly couldn't care less about the creation/gambryo engine issues. i still have more fun in these games than most other games regardless of their shortcomings so it works out for me!

fallout more like failout amirite

today in my continued cooking misadventures I am going to try a basic dish I have never really done before: Roast beef. I've covered it with a mustard rub and it's currently roasting away. Going to make it with mashed potato, roasted carrots and kale because it was like 13p for a big bag and it's loving cabbage, and finished with a red wine gravy if I can manage to actually make one.

You can drop a lot less than six hundred quid, I suspect, it sounds like it deals pretty well with low-end hardware (unsurprising since the engine is like one million years old at this point; Witcher it is not).

I'd say £450 in parts for something which can play fallout 4, plus spending an hour or two putting it together. Bigger problem is installing windows cheaply unless you don't mind piracy.

PlayStation because it's just better and gooder and nicer and mods are coming to consoles, not sure what form that will be though.

I reinstalled W10 the other day, I didn't necessarily have to but my system reserved partition was on my D drive instead of my boot drive, can you imagine something so preposterous?
(also my C drive was B and my D drive was C and some other weird stuff)

It works with recent-ish Intel integrated graphics, apparently, so more like a couple of hundred for a motherboard and CPU assuming he has all the other bits and they're not too hilariously out of date. And if he's lucky the Windows he already has will work fine after (probably) a quick phonecall to Microsoft having had its brains swapped out from under it.

playstation (4)

the backwards compatibility thing is overhyped because its a limited list of games none of which you'll actually want to play

i was thinking the other day as a challenge is it possible to buy the parts for a pc that would run fallout 4 at the same speed, resolution and detail settings for around the same cost as a ps4

im pretty sure youd be out by at least 200 quid

like not theoretically but someone actually try and do it

Chosen option c) upgrade PC

Realised I get paid twice in December due to the random 4 weekly schedule at my work so instead of adding my spare £625 rent to my non existent savings, its getting spent on a new PC. Merry fuckin Christmas me.

fallout 4 is going to be bad and then there'll be a fallout 4 new vegas that is good

everyone who likes that game should buy alpha protocol for the PC imo and put up with the kind of hosed up controls and put points into stealth and pistols since they break the game because its really good

I wouldn't be mad if FO became a COD-esque series (not annually necessarily) but alternated between Beth and Obsidian.

And then Bethesda gives up and Obsidian has it forever hooray!

Only if you're doing things like factoring in a bunch of PC hardware you probably have - monitor etc - but not including the cost of a new TV on the PS4 side. The PS4 and XBox One were both comparable to mid-range PCs at best when they launched, they're pretty much low end PCs now.

its not just down to specs though, pcs have a bunch of other poo poo going on in the background that slows them down and multipurpose pc os software isn't as efficient at running games

so you would literally have to build a system, run fallout 4 at the same detail and resolution and then see if it was the same speed as the ps4, if it was faster try again with cheaper parts until you get the same result

However, PC hardware advances over time, and gets cheaper. Console's however have static hardware and much more static pricing. On release, mabye not for the ps4. Now? For sure.

Building a capable gaming PC has never been easier - or indeed cheaper. There's a multitude of options of available, but we went into our own budget gaming build project with one objective in mind: to run the latest games well and to attempt to match the overall experience offered by the current generation of consoles. Could we match or even exceed PlayStation 4 performance with a computer constructed for a mere £300/$400?

tl;dr - yes you can build one for cheap which performs better than a ps4

you then also have a pc as well, so you can game and... watch porn or whatever. try doing that on the ps4's godawful browser.

(i think ps4's are cool, but yeah you can build a capable pc for that cost, if you can be bothered)
