Fallout 76 General Thread - Bethesda does it again!

[CWCissey]

So, some Gamestops in Germany have begun handing out copies of F76 for free on purchase of a used PS4 controller. Make of that what you will.

I spit on it.

How can anyone delude themselves into believing this shit?!

These are all the kids who first played Fallout 4 and said it was one of the best games of that year, when in reality anyone who put serious hours into it did so with mods and the usual shit real fans do to improve an experience, but would've dropped it had the consoles not gained modding support.

 

[Secret Asshole]

I just ran into some sped who, I shit you not, tried to say that New Vegas was buggier than Fallout 76 and that FO76 only had a "Bad Launch".
Remember all those times in New Vegas when an enemy rushed you in a T-pose? Or how about when you were fighting an enemy only to have it suddenly become invincible because your gun does no damage for no reason? Or how about having all of Caesar's Legionaries in an area just simultaneously drop dead? Or having that Deathclaw you just hit with a Fatman just regain all it's lost health?
Yeah, me neither.
He also tried to say he thought that the Scorched is a better plotline that the war between the NCR and Caesar's Legion.

How can anyone delude themselves into believing this shit?!

....ahahahahahhahhahaha

There are a huge amount of dumb Bethesda faggots who will buy a programmer's art version of any Bethesda game ever. "Just like Todd Howard said, I used my imagination and its all better!" Just like there are a bunch of dumb Bioware faggots who will buy Anthem even though Warframe is free.

You met a re.tard. A literal, dyed in the wool re.tard. The scorched are just rip-offs of a fungal enemy that has become super common in recent years. Also the entire world has 0 NPCs. So who are you saving it for? Everyone is dead. Everything can be duped. Nobody wants to play with each other. The game looks worse than Fallout 4. A $20 microtransaction store. I mean, Jesus.

New Vegas was only buggy because Bethesda were cheap niggers and forced it out before they could be fixed, hoping it would lower the metascore for their bonus. It did. By 1 point.

There's a reason New Vegas is still being modded to this day.

I mean, I guess The Scorched shit could make an okay but forgettable side quest in a main Fallout title, something like that quest with the Fire Ants wiping out Greyditch in Fallout 3. But as the main questline to a whole game? Fucking absurd.

Pretty soon they're just going to start mailing them out in bulk to complete strangers, like AOL CD's.

When that doesn't work, Todd Howard is going to start mailing his own severed body parts and when he runs out Pete Hines will go missing after being seen in the vicinity of a Maryland abattoir.

Someone made a Fallout 76 canvas bag object for The Sims 3:

Now you can waste your §200 in another game AND throw shade at the same time!

Fucking hell. How much worse is this shit gonna get? It's like Bethesda WANTS people to fucking hate them now.

Inb4 it turns out that FO76 is actually the largest, most intricate bit of malware on the planet that sends all your data to the Chinese government and also gives you AIDS.

I actually used to think Superman 64 was the worst video game but considering there’s still drama even today, I think this just takes the cake.

Even when it’s close to the end of January 2019 the ride still never ends.

 

[Ruin]

I can't understand why they haven't pulled the plug on this yet. Given that they're giving away free copies with PS4 controllers they can't possibly be making enough money off this game to offset the ongoing PR nightmare.

On the other hand Obsidian must be drooling right now. Bethesda's fuckups over the past few months have pretty much guaranteed that every Fallout fan out there is going to buy The Outer Worlds once it launches and if Obsidian adds modding support it's pretty much over for the Fallout franchise.

I think beth must just be trying to put themselves out of their own misery at this point. It's hard to imagine any other explanation...

Any of the traditional bad games just usually sit there passively sucking, this one's going out of its way to finding new ways to aggravate its players on an almost-daily basis.

Customers vs Company is going to be the next big gameplay style, I'm fucking telling you man.

I figured it's been this way for a few years now, just becoming less passive and more brash.

Bethesda crashes hard and Obsidian buys them out? nahhh.

Obsidian couldn't buy them but Microsoft is looking to expand their studios (and by extension their first party exclusive lineup) so if Starfield and/or TES6 tank I imagine you'll hear a lot of "Bethesda is being shopped around" talk.

Even if Bethesda is blown out garbage by that point, Elder Scrolls and Fallout are decently valuable IPs.
