Review embargo has been lifted. Bring on the let's play videos!

The embargo worried me but the reviews (while acknowledging the expected glitches and bugs) have been nothing but positive. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow.

I wasn't really too worried about the embargo. It felt to me like maybe it was less about subterfuge, and more an attempt to keep the experience of the narrative and the world as untouched as possible for as many people as possible until release day. After all, as reliant upon let's plays to generate and keep interest in their properties as Bethesda has become, spoilers are a genuine concern.

The problem with embargoes is that it raises the volume of scuttlebutt, but I've been actively ignoring internet chatter since FO4's announcement. I didn't want hype and anti-hype to ruin the game for me.

Anyway, after watching Simon & Lewis from the Yogscast bumble around the Commonwealth Wasteland this morning, I am now fully stoked for this game.

So, who is going to try the Nuka Cola Quantum tomorrow? Jones Cola is generally alright. I actually enjoyed the PB&J cola I got on accident, cause it was the same color as their root beer.

Is that the stuff being sold at Target? I wonder if my town has a Target.

So I am taking some valuable time away from Fallout 4 to post this information if the non-gaming models are wondering where is everybody.

Fallout 4 isn’t just causing a wave of “sick” days across the planet. The excellent open-world role-playing game is also eating into the time people spend on …other habits.

Pornhub, one of the world’s most popular adult video sites, told GamesBeat that it saw a 10 percent drop in traffic among gamers after Fallout 4 came out earlier this week. On November 10, traffic started to drop at around 5 a.m. after most people finished downloading and installing the game. That decrease from normal patterns continued until around 3 p.m. Gamers then seemed to disappear again beginning at 6 p.m.

“We can’t say we’re too surprised with what happened to our traffic during peak gaming hours,” Pornhub vice president Corey Price told GamesBeat. “Based on the data, it looks like a huge surge of people decided to indulge in some wasteland wandering by taking the day off of work and school to play, while the rest of the world had to wade through what we assume were the longest hours of work ever in anticipation of some alone time with their consoles.”

The release of Fallout 4 is easily one of the biggest of the year. Publisher Bethesda released some early sales data today, and it confirmed that it has already shipped 12 million copies of the game. The postapocalyptic adventure is also one of the most played PC games ever, according to data from the digital-distribution platform Steam. At its peak, more than 400,000 people were all playing Fallout 4 at the same time, and that number regularly rests around 350,000.

You gotta think that a few of those Fallout fans also spend some time on Pornhub … or maybe you don’t have to think about that.

But despite losing some traffic, Pornhub understands.

“As huge fans of the game, we can’t say we blame anyone for swapping Pornhub time for some Pip-Boy surfing instead,” said Price. “We would have done the same.”
