lol if you take a look around right now and think "politics" then get mad at fallout the 76th you probably are having a stroke and should go see a doctor or something.

The people that worked on the latest games out right now definitely need to see doctors. Sleep deprivation and stress factors increase the chances of stroke.

Fallout New Vegas taught me there's no difference between politics in your life and media and not.

It's always politics, people have an interest in convincing you otherwise tho.

I found my first “bug” yesterday. I joined a team that had a guy with bad internet. I suffered a lot of freezes and one crash. It seems the game is very very prone to problems if somebody in your team has bad internet.

The same day I grouped with other guy and had a hilarious game where we killed many scorchbeast with almost no life left, fighting at the same time many other level 50 enemies.

I like exploring new locations, hoarding surgical trays and shooting some Super Mutants with my buddy KingKong69. Over the past few days I learnt this means there must be something very, very wrong with me.

I don't know why people are so surprised people can enjoy this game.

Fallout 4 had fun parts. Fallout 76 is basically an extended Fallout 4, so they share the same positives.

The hottest new genre of games on steam are anime tiddies. The most popular genres are mobas and battle royales one is cancer and the other is low effort cancer, sports games have literally been changing nothing but the year on their titles for the last decade, rockstar and shark cards exist, yet the hill weirdos are dying on when it comes to studios being “irresponsible with artistic vision for money” is Fallout 76 for some reason.

I just hit the 70 hour mark, not sure if this or Prey Mooncrash is my goty. I'm loving it. Playing a sneaky sniper with police hat and shades + prisoner collar in swimsuit.
I built my camp overlooking whitesprings so usually there is a huge war going on there.
Rip to Miguel and Maria my favorite characters. Firebreathers rule.
Started the Mistress of Mystery quest which is hella cool.

Whitspring is a place I am considering relocation some day. Maybe on top a pool or something, if the game allow to build there.

Even at level 50+ is a great place to grind, and having these defense robots around is interesting. I imagine is interesting to place your base near a vendor, so you could abuse some crafting loop to make a lot of cash.

Yesterday I was without ammo or caps at first, and it sucks to walk everywhere, but I found some new places along the path, so it was not a waste.

Don't you see? Us funhavers are just trying to inject some joy into your cynical lives! By persuading you via reasoned argument that the game is good for objective reasons, we can give you the fun that you as a human being deserve. If you don't like the game, the only logical conclusion is that you have either chosen to ignore the fun or you are ignorant of the fun's location.

The reviews are still trickling in and the writers have not yet gotten the message that negativity poisons the mind:


quote:

Fallout 76 may be the most badly made video game we’ve ever seen from a major publisher. The idea of a multiplayer Fallout is perfectly fine, of course, and something that’s been planned, by more than just Bethesda, many times over the years. But given the concept’s potential the end result is baffling not only in terms of how much it gets wrong but in its haphazard implementation, resulting in a game that is not just broken on a technical level but in terms of almost all its major design decisions.

Have you ever been laughed at, friend? It's not a fun experience. Fallout 76 didn't choose to be born. And yet you mock it? Do not live a life where you gain happiness at the expense of others. Join us. Buy the game. Go on, do it. DO IT.

I think two different type of reviewers hate this game.

The guys that want a World of Warcraft experience and that scored a low 71 to ESO, because was not enough like World of Warcraft. They hate Fallout76, because is not enough like World of Warcraft. This group of people could have been satisfied by installing a icon with the name "Fallout 76" that is just a hotlink to WoW.exe

The guys that want a Fallout New Vegas 2, made by Obsidian, they hate the game because have very few NPC's and all the lore is delivered through audiotapes and ambient design that despite being very good, is not how they want a story to be delivered. This group of people could have been satisfied by installing a icon with the name "Fallout 76" that plays the 4 hours long Seal of Nehara machinima.

I feel like I am having fun with this game but also think it's a bad game that will exhaust me from playing after 20-30 hours instead of being like the other fallout games that I can put 100 hours into then pick up again and again every few years. Everything wrong about this game feels like stuff that kill the desire to play it long term but nothing feels unfun about going through the base content once. Like at it's core it's just fallout 4 gameplay and it's fun to see some new enemies and weapons and stuff, even if it's obvious that there is no long term legs to that.
