Dealspwn: It's that time of year where developers and publishers push themselves to breaking point in order to meet the all-important Christmas shopping release window. Frankly, it's a pattern that crippled many of last year's biggest games. We'd love to think that lessons have been learned, but with another dementedly-packed season lying just ahead, it's not hard to predict that some of the year's biggest remaining games are going to have some serious issues at launch. They're all games we can't wait to play, but we'd certainly advise waiting for the reviews, or maybe holding out until those unchecked issues have been fixed post-launch. Games are expensive, so preorder wisely.

I've been playing FO3 and NV and will no doubt start up 4 again when the current gen patch drops.
There was a rumor that Bethesda maybe doing FO3/NV remastered collection. I hope they do and bring some quality of life improvements. Both games are awesome but could be better if done right given the remastered treatment
I don't mind the backwards compatible versions on the Microsoft store honestly.Both 3 and NV have quick load times and FPS boost. I originally played FO3 on the PS3 so it felt like a different game to me with those changes alone. My FO3: GOTY expierence on the PS3 was bad enough I didn't even bother with NV until I got a XBO.
I wouldn't say no to a remaster however. Feels like now would be the time to announce it what with a hit show boosting awareness for the IP. We'll see what happens.
Loving the show and it 100% has me itching to boot up a FO again. The only question is whether to replay 3, NV or 4
The show is really good, it's everything I expect from a video game adaptation. The main audience being the fans of the franchise, new viewers not being the target audience was not what I was expecting.
If you were excited about the Fallout 4 London mod, we have some bad news for you. The mod has been delayed indefinitely thanks to Fallout 4 next-gen update.
Not a bad thing. They've even shown excitement at what the update could bring to making things better for them. More work? Yeah. But, still a good thing overall.
I think this looks pretty great so they should take as much time as they need.
It’s kind of shame however we’ll probably never get to see an official Fallout London game or anything set in the UK now because of the mod.
Because Bethesda might think "Meh, London has already been done with that Mod, they've taken the shine away from it and if we do it now they might think we're copying"
Something along those lines.
While I’d love to see more world building lore in Fallout, I’d be surprised if Fallout ever ventured beyond a United States setting. Maybe a dlc to a main game though. Always wondered what other places would look like, if they too had the 50s culture with futuristic tech.
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
It is a sad day in gaming when we are told to expect botched launches of games.
I used to buy a lot of games on day one. Now, if there is multi-player I just avoid the game completely day one or if it is a large RPG. This seems to be where the problems lay.
I bet Rock Band and Battlefront will be fine at launch. The others maybe not so much.
Lol. He says black ops was smooth sailing? Rofl. How about a lot of gamers not having an open nat on that game only? I hope im wrong but it'll have launch issues and issues throughout, because they dont care enough about us gamers to go dedicated.
I highly doubt Assassin's Creed will have issues, they were pretty embarrassed by Unity and are going to make sure Syndicate is rock solid.
