Fallout 76 General Thread - Bethesda does it again!

They find a way.

The West Virginia Brotherhood of Steel fan club breaks the lore.

I just hope nobody cares about this shitty game and is playing Red Dead 2.

If Bethesda was smart they should of hand the IP over to Obsidian Entertainment.

Turns out giving your fambase a terrible game instead of the New Vegas sequel that would net you a shitzillion dollars isn’t a sound business decision. Call Obsidian before you go the way of Telltale.

No, retarded, they just need to add lootcrates, duh.

No, exceptional, they just need to add lootcrates, duh.

I never really got that term. Loot doesn’t come from crates you pay for, it comes from buildings you don’t own.

Lootcrate systems are run on networks hosted in Somalia.

Wait, you mean a multiplayer mod for Fallout 4 that costs 60 dollary-doos isn't flying off the shelves?

Shawk status: imajuned.

that's an insult to modders

True. But the price tag is what really sticks in the consumers' craw, I think- if Fallout 76 was just something you could get off Nexus for free, warts and all, people would think it was at least OK. Asking retail for this is just avaricious.

 

[The Reaper]

Did they not give out review copies? It seems like their scores should be out already.

Because the games journalists don't need to receive an early copy of the game to find a reason not to play it for reviewing purposes.

This is now a todd-posting thread

Todd and his little lies didn't work this time.

>RPG with literally no real quests (holotapes and robot fetch/kill shit shouldn't count), interchangeable perks, and a practically meaningless stat system shat together into a generic popamole with brain dead AI isn't well-received

Guess they ran out of luck.

Little did they know...the game was rigged from the start.

Figuratively speaking.

 

[Otis Boi]

I am surprised they though this was going to do well. well at least we have DOOM: Eternal and Rage 2 to look forward too. I think beth Softworks should stick to making part of a game that is eventually fun because of modding.

 

[Kratos' Beard]

Almost like Fallout and Elder Scrolls games are fucking unplayable without downloading the entire Nexus Mods twice over.

 

[Kiwi Jeff]

Call Obsidian before you go the way of Telltale.

I don't know if that's feasible now that Microsoft owns Obsidian.

 

[No creativity]

Bethesda will keep producing garbage until they understand that Radiant Quests aren't a substitute for real content. A random npc telling you to go to Dwarven ruin#436 and retrieve an ancient steam-powered dildo adds nothing to the game because you are already naturally exploring the world and delving dungeons to get loot.

And it's not like they can't write good quests, Oblivion has some of the best I've ever seen, probably one of the few aspects in which it surpasses Morrowind. Fallout 3 was also pretty good in that aspect despite the overall weak writing.

Given some of the things Pete Heins says about Fallout, it looks like Bethesda is a much different company from the one that worked on Fallout 3 and Oblivion.

Bethesda’s Pete Hines Justifies Performance issues, says Fallout 4 runs well on PS4

I like what we’ve done with the dialogue system… and having played Fallout 3 again recently I keep, in Fallout 4 when I’m playing, I keep hitting the button to leave dialogue. I keep forgetting, ‘Oh, I can just walk away’. I don’t have to wait for this guy to stop talking’. And now I’m playing other stuff, where there’s dialogue and I’m thinking, ‘Oh, I wish I could just walk away’. Because I don’t have the attention span for long dialogue! . . . Unless it’s Uncharted or anything by Naughty Dog, and then I never skip any of the dialogue – ’cause theirs is awesome.

Did he just fucking say the Uncharted series has fantastic dialogue? What dialogue? Uncharted doesn't have dialogue it has sixteen explosions, a snarky quip, and then sixteen more explosions.
