    Well I'll be the first person in this thread to say I'm looking forward to it! As a mainly single player gamer wanting to do more multiplayer this seems like the perfect game. Guys, there is a single player campaign that takes ~40 hours to beat keep that in mind. You don't have to interact with other players. I for one am looking forward to teaming up though and taking down some giant mutated monsters together. The game play that was released today looks amazing. I mean who's complaining about a fallout game that's 4x bigger than the last? Shit looks dope!

    I feel like I'm the minority when I say that I'm turning off from this game precisely because it seems like they're removing the riskier elements to it. Allowing people to opt-out of PvP, I feel, makes the game overall less interesting and seems like it's purely being done to placate worries about this not being another mainline Fallout game (which it isn't)

    I would be down for a Fallout-themed survival game with permadeath and non-consensual PvP. I don't care about the mainline Beth Fallout games any more, Fallout 5 I'm already pretty sure I won't buy. Something fresh that breaks the mold and goes for something different while capitalizing on the recent trend of games like RUST or the Battle Royale genre I would be fascinated by.

    But it seems like they can't even decide whether this is supposed to be something like that or just "Fallout 4 but it's RUST now I guess, sorta", so my current prediction is they end up in an unsatisfying middle where the only thing carrying the game is brand recognition and the fact that it's not an abhorrent Early Access mess.

    Wow it's coming out so much earlier than I thought. I'm stoked to play this game with a group of friends. I'm hoping it can scratch my League itch.

      I was reading another review and they made the PVP sound like it was entirely opt-in and you could set a pacifist mode that prevented others from harming you and vice-versa.

      Hmm, it looks right to me. I think you might have an old version of the site icon spreadsheet somehow, try doing a hard/full refresh by holding Ctrl and pressing F5.
