I saw that the next-gen update for 4 is coming out next week, so I went ahead and bought the PS4 version for $5 in preparation for the free upgrade. I already have all the DLC from back when it came out, but I had the disc and traded it in years ago.

I got 76 cheap on Steam a few years ago (because I refuse to pay to play online), but didn't get very far. About what I expected, but I wanted to at least try it out.

Pretty much the same reason I bought 76 too. I think I’d like it with a crew, but I don’t really play like that these days. I do find that the community is really friendly and helpful though when you come across people.

Had no idea there was a next-gen update coming. That’s exciting! Fallout 4 already looks great on my Xbox Series X so I can’t even imagine what better looks like.

Yeah, it's coming out April 25th. It's been long enough since I played it that I think another playthrough at 60fps would be worth it. Especially since I already know the story and characters are meh (except for Valentine, he's cool) and will be in it for the exploration and looting. It's certainly a better game than Starfield, at least!

I liked Starfield… for a little while anyway. It felt way too empty though. I finished the story and then there wasn’t really much else to do. I built a cool ship and then got bored.

Valentine is pretty much the character I spend almost the whole game with as a companion. Piper isn’t bad but Valentine is my favorite.
