The release of the much-anticipated action RPG video game "Fallout 4" from Bethesda Softworks is just around the corner and the pre-load of the game was already up for downloads for those who have placed their pre-orders. The fans of the series can start playing the actual game once it becomes digitally available worldwide on Nov. 10, 2015.

For the meantime, it is pre-loadable on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, which Bethesda announced back in October, to give the gamers a few days to download the game before the release date. Of course, this does not mean that after the download, the game can be played already --- not until Nov. 10. The purpose of the pre-load is to give the gamers a head start and save precious hours of downloading time to their computers' hard drive. Come, release date, the gamer can just play the moment it goes live says PC Gamer.

The game will be released at 12:01 am, local time. For instance, the game will be available at 12:01 am EST in North America. Gamers in Asia can avail of the game once the clock strikes midnight on Wednesday, Nov. 11. "Fallout 4" fans in Japan would have to wait a little longer and prolong their agony as they wait for almost another month for the Dec. 17, Thursday local release at 12 MN, according to Bethesda.

The minimum PC system requirement are Windows 7, 8 or 10 (with 64-bit OS required), Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz, or AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz (or equivalent), 8 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB or AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB (or equivalent) and 30 GB of HDD space. For the console storage space, the video game asks for about 28-35 GB, which vary depending on territory and languages supported.

Players who have yet to try the previous installments of the fallout series may find the game to be a bit "wondrous, yet confusing new world," according to Geek.com. The game can be a bit disorienting for the first timers because it is a free-roaming open world action game.

More than just a shooting game, the players of "Fallout 4" also have to do well in combat, stealth and their negotiation skills. The gameplay allows the player to have any conversations anytime, even with the hostile forces of the game, while the character is having a free roam around post-apocalyptic Boston. The player can switch from the first person to third person perspective while also customizing a wide variety of weaponry that will aid him to complete quests.
