Jack B Nimble posted:12 million people bought fallout 4 on launch day, and while most people on this aging pc forum have played since the first game, I've got bad news for anyone overestimating their position as custodian of the pure essence of what makes a real fallout game. I'm not trying to be antagonistic, I just don't think if you come from 4 to 76 it's going to be all that jarring, after all they toned the rpg elements way, way down already. I honestly don't even think my various characters in 4 are all that different mechanically, they tend to get the same skills every time because there's not much there. More like the rpg elements of Prey than Morrowind. Seeing as present sales numbers for Fallout 4 in TOTAL is somewhere on the good side of 13 million, are you claiming that Fallout 4 sold 90%+ of all of it's sales, in a week. I'm gonna need some sources there, that doesn't sound right.

it shipped 12 million launch day, which means those copies were 'bought', just not necessarily by consumers.

Pete Hines is apparently now saying on Twitch that the PvP system involves getting ganked by someone once and being able to opt-out of future interactions. ...what?

I hope they add the "White Thing" quote:Also known as the White Creature, this monster of the mountains that rise along the lower Kanawha Valley has been described as being as large as a bear though shaped liked a dog. Its saber-like fangs extend from a ravenous mouth, and the beast is covered in filthy white, woolly fur. It first entered the annals of folklore in 1965 in the book “The Telltale Lilac Bush and Other West Virginia Ghost Tales,” a collection of stories compiled by Ruth Ann Musick. A folklorist, Musick proposed that such beasts appeared to be both phantom and physical. Those books are good little short stories on West Virginia folklore and I loved reading them as a kid.

Jack B Nimble posted:I no joke look forward to hiding my camp. According to an interview done with IGN, that may not be possible - Todd himself mentioned that people show up on a map so that you can more easily find each other in such a vast world (as each server is limited to 'dozens' of players). So it sounds like you'll have a bullseye tapped to your back from day one. Still getting mixed messages about the exact nature of PvP in this game so who knows how much of an issue it will be.

Yardbomb posted:I mean, jury's still hugely out on the fun game part. That's fair. I like Bethesda jankiness and that's even more fun to me, conceptually at least, with a few friends that share my gleeful retardation. If they haven't nailed down the shooting that's the only thing I could see really ruining it for me, it's gotta feel as good to play as destiny or doom does.

The more I think about it, the more this Bethesda E3 conference really sucked. Last year was great with the promise of every game announced coming out within the year and New Colossus stealing the show. This year we've got a Fallout game with horrendously out of date visuals covered up by an ENB filter, a card game, and Elder Scrolls on your iPhone. And then a bunch of trailers for new games that we won't get to see more of until Quake-Con.

Obviously PVP entails that if you are killed by another hostile player, you can then indict that player so they can hunted by members of the Darkmoon Brotherhood It's all pretty standard

who is Caesar in this scenario? people keep saying poo poo like 'battle royale' who have apparently never even seen pubg but then they also keep saying poo poo like 'ark' which i was not even aware was a game people actually loving played. 'persistent shared world multiplayer' is not as crowded a design space as people are pretending and almost all of the games that are in it are neglected Steam: Early Access alphas.

Pug Rodeo posted:I finally got Fallout 4 since Fred Meyer was clearing out old video game stock for super cheap, and it came with a Fallout 3 download code which I already have. My Fallout 4 is Xbox One so I assume this is for the same, or maybe a 360 as well. It doesn't have a expiration date listed, but it is an older game so hopefully it works for someone! Hey thanks! I'm looking forward to playing this again! The code worked like a charm.

What's so hard about just having PvP and PvE servers? I don't want to deal with people trying to challenge me, and I can't imagine people who actually want to play PvP are going to be happy if their challenges are ignored.

I for one can't wait for 76. Not because I want to play it because it's probably dogshit, but because I want to see just how many things they will overlook and how badly this is gonna turn out. Honestly, if there's anyone who could gently caress up an online game worse than Ubisoft, it's Bethesda.
