“It’s the hottest game to come out since Skyrim,” said junior Zachary Alston, younger brother of Dezmond.
Junior Ryan Owens was another eager game buyer. “The first thing I do when I go home is play Fallout.”
The Alston brothers and Owens rave about the game’s improved graphics and gameplay as well as the realism of the the storyline.
Homework is the last thing on their minds, they say, while the game is so fresh on their gaming consoles.
The object of the game is for players to survive while trying to find their son, who has been captured by mercenaries. The players must ward off enemy attacks and enviormental hazzards including bombs and gunfire.
The game is set in an apocalyptic world, and players have just been thawed out after being frozen for 200 years.
The game by Bethesda sells for $60.
All three said they pre-orderd their copy of Fallout 4 online to avoid waiting in store lines when the game dropped. So when the game was officially released, all they had to do was download it, they said.
The game has more than 200 hours of game play, including downloadable content.
It is likely to be in high demand as a holiday gift this year.
