Good to know.
I haven't pre-ordered a game in years, and this is my first one from GMG.
I've always received my key(s) a day or two before launch from GMG when I've pre-ordered new releases - I would be very surprised if you didn't receive a day or two before release.
With all the hours I put in FO3, I never "beat" the main storyline.
Well, yeah, but the point of these games is never beating the main quest for me. I got fairly far into it in Morrowind, never finished. Didn't both much at all in Oblivion, Skyrim, or FO3/NV.Its remarkably quick if you know how to do it.
The only thing I'm concerned about other than the potential for a garbage script is the voice acting, I feel like that's going to limit a lot of the options you had in previous games.
Well Bethesda games have never been particularly impressive when it came to dialog options, so I'm not expecting FO4 to be much of a departure from the norm. They did mention that their voice actors have recorded about 1000 common names so that the PC's name can be spoken in dialog. I think that's a pretty good sign that they're trying to do it right.

I'll only be impressed when the NPCs call me Numnuts Dickfart.
Good point... apparently they did manage to produce (or just find) a small handful more which sold out in about a day.
Never miss a chance to toss a barb, eh?
That aside, Limited Edition games (that interested me) have rarely sold out so ridiculously fast. Even my short hesitation to spend such big bucks on a game was enough to miss out. I'll have to either cross my fingers for one in the future, a new manufacturer to produce the current design, or somehow make/order one on my own.
I may even scour the shops on opening day on the off-chance of getting lucky. Then to start making the rest of the jumpsuit.
Strategy 2.0:
Buy the game day one for console with Best Buy GCU discount ($12 off) and preorder bonus ($10 reward certificate). Beat the vanilla version. Craigslist/Trade-in for ~$35-40.
Wait 12 months. Buy GOTY Edition when it goes on sale.
Best of both worlds.

ewww Carlsberg.
....eh, probably only slightly less toxic than a Nuka. :\
Which system were you looking to get it on? I have 2 pre-orders in for the PC version, debating cancelling the Amazon one as my BestBuy one doesn't seem to have any issues (I was told sometimes BB has pre-order problems).
PC. If you were in Canada I'd work out buying one from you, but mail over the border is a PITA. Thanks though! :thumbsup:
I love FPS but mainly MP FPS.
What does one have to look forward to on Fall out series, especially this one coming out? The game looks incredible, just looking for some deciding factors from anyone to persuade me
Supposedly the Doom team helped design the shooting mechanics, but it's probably still safe to assume that it will not be a twitch shooter. Nonetheless, it should be head and shoulders above Fallout 3 and New Vegas, which unmodded were pretty much unplayable to me. Close to point blank range, empty shotgun in raider's face, reload shotgun, repeat. I recently returned to CounterStrike Global Offensive and was amazed at how much my skills had deteriated from playing only Fallout, even heavily modded for shooter mechanics.I love FPS but mainly MP FPS.

The attraction is in the world exploration and the stories uncovered. You get a depth of immersion simply not available in a multiplayer shooter. You get to meet a lot of interesting characters too. It's like living out a movie, but unlike those horrible scripted QuickTime events and cut scenes it's your movie and you decide how the plot plays out.
