It's partially true. Some pre orders were not successful for whatever reason but there really shouldn't be any need to worry.

When I first pre ordered the game my debit card at the time was set to expire before the game came out. I asked what would happen if I accidentally forgot to update it and it bounced and they promised me that they would do everything they could with me to secure the order and get it paid for.

So basically even if the payment bounced my Pip Boy edition would remain reserved until I could sort out payment (they said they would phone me).

Also, in another news article they have stated that they would spend the weekend phoning every one who had an issue and try their best to get it sorted.

Me? mine went fine. On Sunday afternoon I got an email stating that my order had been processed and then about five minutes later the cash was gone from my bank balance and I received an email on Sunday evening confirming it was shipped.

The main issue I had with this was that Game's website collapsed when they announced the Pip Boy back in June, so it really was survival of the fittest to get one pre ordered. I had to wait on the phone for nearly three hours before getting through, and by then all of the PS4 versions were gone. Thankfully there was still some meat on the PC bone so I got in nice and early.

All being well I will have mine tomorrow via DPD.

Silly question but what is so good about the Pip Boy

I can't answer that completely truthfully dude because the thing is no one knows until tomorrow.

If you check out the unboxing videos you will see that it links with a phone and right now displays images of Vault Boy in different poses.

What I do know, having installed the Pip Boy app on my phone is that it basically turns your phone into the game's actual Pip Boy. However, as I said, it looks like the phone can connect specifically to the Pip Boy itself (via Blue Tooth I guess?) and interact with your phone.

So basically there will be loads of people wearing this thing during gaming sessions.

The problem is it looks far bulkier than I thought it would and I would feel like a bit of a pillock sitting there with it on so no doubt mine will be for display only.

That bit doesn't interests me at all i don't use apps on my phone i know that sounds strange to most people, I can't see the point in playing a game or whatever on a 5 or 6in screen to me it's way to small.

I would rather just own the game and nothing else comes with it when i look at this kinda stuff all i can think off it's pointless cr*p.
 
Sadly yeah. Ah well, I'm in for the long haul but I must admit as soon as they mentioned they'd worked with Nvidia I already started to feel dread.



18 FPS out of a 980ti at max settings 4k. I don't stand a snowflake's chance in hell then.

It's achieved very high scores even with the bugs.

I've got a mate playing it and apparently he reckons the FPS tanks are caused by God Rays, the only Gameworks feature. He said he can't tell the difference between ultra and low, apart from going from 50 to 100 FPS.

So it seems we have discovered the rat in the game, and once again it's Nvidia Failworkz.

You know with how "successful" I guess you can call Gameworks has been lately(that is getting all the AAA games to use it) you'd figure they would have fixed all the huge performance impacts it has since it's been pretty consistently hurting performance at least from there side? I'm sure Bethesda will release a post launch patch like Ubisoft always does for there games.. wouldn't be surprised if it was a 10GB patch to fix it:p
Although then again mods will probably fix this game right up as they have done with Skyrim.

I think Witcher 3 was probably the only gameworks title that came out where performance wasn't impacted too much. Was still achievable to maintain a fairly high fps, however 1 out of the dozen games isn't a really good track record. Don't know if it's Nvidia's software or just devs not optimizing as much as they could to make the impacts less. I guess that could be a reason why Witcher 3 was delayed? To further optimize the Gameoworks stuff?

Nvidia don't care about whether the game works or not. All they care about is getting their branding on it and selling more GPUs.

They saw TressFX (that actually worked) and saw a market in it.
 
Yeah disappointed I missed the Pip Boy edition because I'm a sucker for stuff like that (Yes I have the remote vehicle from COD Black Ops and Some MW2 Night vision goggles :p ) Prestige or go home. I just love gadgets despite how poor quality they are.
