Gamers- I picked up Fallout 4 today

[Black Diamond Vol]

Wow.  Just...overwhelming.  I'm only about an hour in, but I can already tell that I'm going to have to do some studying before I go much farther.  The crafting and upgrading systems are pretty huge and intimidating- much deeper than in Fallout 3.  Literally everything you find can be used to build something.  Even something as innocuous as a pencil (the lead is invaluable for constructing radiation suits).

The game looks amazing, and the story will hook you.  Just be prepared to spend hours and hours...and more hours.

So, trading games for food these days??

Yes.  Because I absolutely did NOT have a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch.  And I will NOT be cooking up some Caribbean jerk chicken for dinner.  I just hope I can finish this game before I die of starvation.

Speaking of Fallout 4, Best Buy is including Fallout 4 for anyone buying a PS4.  So I'll be getting the Uncharted collection bundle and Fallout 4 for free.   

Never played any of the Fallout games, though.  I'm anxious to see what all the fuss is about.

BTW, I finished Drake's Fortune on Uncharted.  It was OK, but for my taste it was a little too heavy on gunplay and too repetitive.  You'd clear out an area of enemies, and just like that another batch would drop in and you'd have to do it all over again.  Sometimes 3-4 times in a single area.  I was hoping for more climbing, puzzle solving, and big action set pieces.  I understand that the next two games get a lot better in that regard.

Well I've yet to play the first Uncharted myself, but to me the latter two have plenty of climbing and puzzles.
