Yeah, I'm feeling a little used. With 6 years in the making, I really thought this would be a great combination of Borderlands and Fallout, both of which I love. So I preordered. I played for just 45 minutes this morning before work, and I wasn't impressed, either by the gameplay, or the visuals. I should have known. I bought the iPhone app last fall. That's what the gameplay basically is. On the performance side, I knew I was underspec'ed. I have dual 8800GT's. With the minimum being a single, I thought I'd be ok. Not great, but ok. (The recommended is only a 9800.) After all, the big deal about the engine was that it was supposed to scale. I didn't realize how it would do that. The "pop-in" is pretty drastic for me, and every time I turn, I grind down to 30 fps from the usual 50+ if I stand still. So I'm not happy about my purchase, but if Bethesda gets my money and uses it to create Fallout 4, I'd say that was a great investment. (I've played through 3 and NV about 10 times each.)
