Utterly Mad

If I had a computer that would run Fo4 then I'd totally do the same thing as Peri

Tone down the graphics and you'll be able to run Fo4, the reason why they recommend a beefy rig is because there really aren't that many loading screens when entering new areas like in the previous games. I saw people hop into elevators and it basically teleported them to the top of the building.

The game generates entire cells to play in, which means it loads all the areas in that particular "block". At least that's what I'm understanding from the leaks.

But I'd still advise delaying your purchase, the game doesn't ship with mod support, it'll probably be poorly optimized or buggy upon release, and there's a slight chance that the characters, story, and quests are complete shit. The shooting however looks badass, but some of the dialogue is pretty bad judging from the leaks, especially from the two leads of the game. Not to mention the "animations" for some of the characters are more wooden and robotic then Skyrim... and I have no fucking idea how they managed that (alright you remember how GTA character's would move in the PS2 era of games? Waving their arms around, leaning around, and their lips kinda just flap to the words. Its kinda like that.).

However its not all horrible, some of the dialogue is funny (from the NPCs), the super mutants are still as funny and voiced by the same guy again, like I said the shooting looks like it got the most attention, looting is done semi-Borderlands style (menu pops up on the container in real time, you just loot on the spot), the particle effects are fantastic and the sheer scale of the Boston metro areas is like what I wanted Fallout 3 to be like; full buildings you can just enter just because, heading up to the rooftops and upper floors of towering skyscrapers and engaging in vertical firefights.

It seems like Bethesda wanted to make Fallout 4 into the shooter a lot of people expected Fallout 3 to be, think Rage but not bland and shitty.

Also babymaking technology looks like it wasn't wasted, you can get a good Mochaccino baby from a black and white couple.
