Got a response from game. I'd you've cancelled the order, message them on Facebook or email them telling them so and include you're order number and they will refund you if you haven't been already refunded.

Yeah, I talked to them on web chat last week. They said they'd refund the deposit on the first order (which was cancelled), and coincidentally I received an email from them this afternoon saying the refund has been approved and will go through in the next few working days.

However, I'm now unable to log into their website to complain about the other email (which tells me I'll be billed for the full amount in November, for the second order) despite them already having taken a deposit. It tells me my password is incorrect (which is BS), but won't let me change it. They also won't respond on either FB or Twitter... To be honest, I reckon I'll just try to chargeback my debit card and let them go eff themselves, pip boy or no pip boy.

Anyway, onto more interesting matters... Bethesda have released the schedule for the fast approaching QuakeCon. You may have to enter a DOB to read it, but essentially they'll have an exclusive Fallout 4 presentation with Todd Howard on July 24th.

They only took 16 off me as the pre order

I'll take exception to that. My local store are always nice and helpful. Never seen them treat anyone badly.

Agree with you on that one. My local one in Limerick could not be nice. However there is a 2nd one in Limerick and you could be standing up waiting to be served and there talking to there mate and will ignore you

RRP means nothing tbh. I hate Gamestop and their robbing ways, but there's absolutely nothing we can do other than not buy from them.

I have all those games, otherwise I would grab that off Game.co.uk

Wing126 · 26-07-2015 5:46pm

Come to think of it, has anyone else emailed gamestop calling them out on the prices? I feel like maybe if enough people do it, they'll cave.

Aye it sucks! Hopefully Beth themselves will release footage, but there wasn't even a livestream, just a liveblog!

That won't make a bit of difference. If they can keep turning good profits as a company with their current pricing structure, they will keep doing it, they'd be stupid not to in fact. You have to also consider they're an American company, and their market share in the U.S. is massive, much more dominant than here, so they can get away with the extortionate prices. Just don't give them your business, it's all you can do, and if you can buy a game cheaper somewhere else, why bother complaining?

Sephiroth_dude · 27-07-2015 2:56pm

Can't understand why they wouldn't let people record fallout footage

LuckyFinigan · 28-07-2015 3:35pm

Gamestop are doing one last round of preorders for the collectors edition online, get em while their still there.

Quake Con is a very intimate event in terms of game conferences. Only 9000 people were at it last year, I'd say a similar number were in attendance this year, and less of them were in the Fallout presentation.

Bethesda probably wanted the footage to be special for those in attendance.

Like Comic-Con trailers.

Jesus. GAME's support is truly horrendous.

Have you tried actually ringing them yourself?

yup, rang them 2 or 3 weeks ago , at 4.20 on a friday when work was a bit quiet. was on hold 60+ mins on the one line, while on the other line i took calls and worked away on e-mails.
i hung up and went home when they closed up the office at 5.35

Really think the mass effect dialogue system is a major regression. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the text box and silent protagonist!! I like to know exactly what my characters going to say and not try and guess of a couple of words. If it's not broke don't fix it.

This is **** news....
Really really ****

i don't like it for aiming, if i want to practice my skill at aiming ill play Counter strike.
hopefully it will be REALLY REALLY slow - like slower than how slow that new GTA games goes when your changing radio station.....

Brilliant. That annoyed me with the original F3 and FNV ending.

Made sense in NV. It would have been stupid for you to continue and still be attacked by Legionnaires and the NCR (or whomever you didn't side with), as well as all the upheaval that would have happened quite rapidly after the second battle of Hoover Dam. F3 it would have just been making the water supply non-irradiated, pretty easy to code for.

As for the level cap being removed, I'm conflicted. Happy because I can keep levelling up but sad because it's moving away more from it's roots. Tough one.

Robert ninja · 07-08-2015 7:09am

Always mod the cap off anyway. Usually stop playing or start new character before I get OP, too.

Zero-Cool · 09-08-2015 10:37am

Slightly off topic but anyone at Dublin Comic Con today, make sure you head to the Wasteland Festival upstairs in the far corner. You swap pre-war money (euros) for bottle caps and use them on games. Highlight of DCC for me.

I had forgotten all about it then remembered all of a sudden it was out today. Searched for it, no sign. Few minutes later, it was live. Good timing

Yeah it's free. There are purchasable 'lunchboxes' which give you random items but you don't actually need them.

So I wonder how to tie that in with the Bluestacks emulator ... The device I have currently isn't good enough to run it.

ASOT · 14-08-2015 10:45am

Works in the store for me it's just not at the top of the searches scroll down a bit.

Thargor · 14-08-2015 10:48am

The amount of utter trash on the Play store is incredible. Makes me wonder if I should do a quick Java course and start pumping crap like that out myself, or is it all being churned out in less developed countries for a dollar a day?

14-08-2015 10:50am

Got it working.

For anyone interested, go to the link provided here in the browser on BlueStacks, then just download and install like you normally would through the Play Store.

If you search Fallout Shelter, then click MORE on Apps. Scroll down to #21 and there it is.

It will probably jump to #1 as soon as they update market listings etc.

Zero-Cool · 14-08-2015 11:34am

Jaysus this is addictive! Another Babby on the way which will bring me to 20 dwellers and will be able to open my radio station. Great idea by Bethesda, was already mad top play FO4 but this app is just ramping it up.

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 14-08-2015 4:39pm

Careful with the radio room. The game load screen said you are far more likely to get attacked by a Deathclaw when you have one. Loving the shelter game, pretty basic and fun. One really annoying bit is when Raiders attack. You have to keep clicking your guys to chase them around. I only have 5 or 6 guns and 30 dwellers so obviously I'd prefer the guys with the guns to be doing the fighting.

You don't have to have a guy follow them around. Just change who has the gun. Still means a good few clicks but your guys are all still in their correct rooms at the end

Yeah during a rush or attack you can assign people to different rooms then they all go back as normal.

A much easier way is to be clever in how you plan out your valut.

I have mine set up so its vault entrance - lift - 3 room diner with 6 people working there and armed with the best weapons I have. Raiders never last long and sure as hell dont make it back out to wander around the lower levels causing trouble

You need to destroy the living quarters the intro make you build once you get full control of the game.

It also worth doing some trial runs to try and farming some rare items from the starter lock boxes the game throws at you at the start. Got lucky and got 2 damage 22 alien guns which destroy everything on wasteland runs.
