Bethesda Are Fucking Stupid

 I bought Fallout 4 on pc and right now I really wish I didn't. Bethesda decided that only 2 aspect ratios exist, and if your monitor isn't one of those, you can't play fullscreen. Well you can, but at 240p. Alternatively, you can play in a tiny little window that...

 I don't even want to type anymore. I spent $80 and downloaded 24gb for this game. I'm honestly tempted to get a refund.

That freaking sucks....Sorry Blake :( Pc gaming has not had it easy recently. Im shocked there is only 2 options for full screen. I say get a refund. Thats not worth 80$ if you cant enjoy the game.

It'll probably be patched tomorrow, so there's not much point. I just wanted to vent tbh.

100% get a refund.

On a lighter note, I'm glad Stupid is finally getting laid. He tries so hard. And based on this post, Bethesda's good at fuckin', so it's a good day for Stupid!

Joe, I've had a shitty day. Thanks for making me smile :)

what aspect ratio is your monitor?  Do you have a super wide screen or something?  

Posted on November 10, 2015 2:36 AM

At the moment 4:3 because my 16:10 monitor died.

ah shit.  I have one of those in reserve too.

I bought DA:Inquisition through origin recently and it ran like utter shit! I've never had issues with origin games and can still pretty much play most new PC games, even Metal Gear 5, but DA was completely unplayable. I messed with all the settings and dowloaded patches and still shit. I was so fucking furious!!!! I know how you feel. That is a lot of money, get it back and just get it on console. 

Also, just vent it all out on your podcast.

I would but my PS4 also died, and it's not on Wii-U.

Well, maybe settle for Xenoblade Chronicles on WiiU. It's supposed to be bigger than Witcher 3, allegedly? I doubt Nintendo puts out bad software at launch. I feel for you man. I know how much you love games and are on top of all the latest releases.  I'm just waiting on Holiday sales to stock up on console games. Is Fallout4 not available on PS3 or 360?

I don't think so. I'll just wait for a patch and go back to playing Binding of Isaac or something.

Afterbirth? It's quite addictive.Cool

Indeed :D

But... I got it to work. After 3 hours of tinkering. But the lockpicking mini game doesn't work now because the lock doesn't show up. I'm getting weirdly good at doing it by ear though.

you sir are a man desperate to play Fallout.  Tongue Out

Posted on November 10, 2015 10:52 AM

Dude. It's fucking Fallout. The only game I'd be more desperate to play would be Dark Souls.

Posted on November 10, 2015 11:04 AM

have you played 1 and 2?

Posted on November 10, 2015 11:39 AM

Fallout? Yeah. I've beaten 2, but 1 is a bit too outdated for me personally. I've also played a decent amount of tactics.

Your PS4 died already?!

 

And this is why I'm a console gamer. I don't have the patience to tinker around with the setting to make things work. It's bad enough when I put a disc into a console and it immediately wants to update it or download something and I have to wait. And wait and wait and wait some more. Then I get pissed off and frustrated and start swearing and wanting to throw shit, and then I laugh at myself, because I remember this:

I'm a bit late so I hope you got your money back or at least found a decent workaround online for your trouble.
