Posting on SA is way more fun than 99% of games. Nothing more fun to post about than a train wreck.

yeah because this is the thread for talking about Bethesda and the Fallout series. There's a TGS thread where people are sharing hints and tips or whatever for Fallout 76 if that's all you want

It's fun when a big publisher makes the decision to eschew everything that made their games sellable despite their huge problems, in a bid to go after the latest industry craze, ends up falling flat on its face, that's all.

You could go to the other fallout 76 thread to post about the game or ignore the SA equivalent of old people writing complaints to TV Guide that Hee Haw was cancelled 26 years ago.

They did this years ago with ESO. For some reason, they thought it would go different with 76.

Hell, ESO was a little closer to the prime days of MMOs at least.

Why do people keep saying everyone who says anything bad about the game doesn't own it? I own the game and enjoy it on some level but I fully understand the levels of garbage and bullshit here, the FO76 reddit is the same way where they don't actually talk about the game they talk about how brave they are to enjoy the game.

The ole "did you buy it" catch-22. You didn't buy it? Guess you're just an angry sperglord why don't you go post elsewhere. You did buy it? You're part of the problem stop supporting garbage development.

Truth is, that game is rigged from the start.

Just let people have their opinions (all opinions).

Don’t take other people enjoying it personally?

For the amount of people complaining about investment in video game franchises as an identity there’s an awful lot of ironic vitriol in here that goes way beyond simple schadenfreude and I’m honestly starting to wonder who the actual “broke brained” people are. Meeting “I’m kind of enjoying the game for what it was advertised as except for the bugs” with gently caress YOU YOU’RE WRONG is some goony goon poo poo and maybe y’all should just go back to horse collecting in RDR2 or stroking a nostalgia boner playing Fallout 2 or whatever it is you’d actually rather be doing.

We get it. You’re mad about a franchise that apparently jumped the shark over a decade ago. You can move on. It’s okay. There’s life outside games you don’t like, and building a personality around bitching about things other people do for no reason other than bitching is pretty tiring. Find something else to do, you hate it so much.

F76 a 9 dimensional chess game. Todd Howard is sick of Fallout fans telling he sucks and working for Bethesda in general. He can't just quit though, he has had no other experience in any industry since the 80s. He needs some exit cash to retire. So he looks at his contract, sees the "golden parachute" clause (in the event he is fired) and goes to work creating Fallout 76.

Yeah all I really care about this game was that it took place in WV which has a lot of nice natural landmarks and beautiful landscape and a surprising amount of weird myths and poo poo so beyond anything else seeing a game actual draw on an area of the country most people probably forget exists beyond being like ground zero of the opoid epidemic be such a half assed mess probably permanently killed any bethesda goodwill I had even before the nylon bag poo poo.

Attention is not some kind of weird hypocrisy-currency, and there's nothing "weird" about spending time and attention on something that sucks.

While we're at it, Roger Ebert spent an awful lot of time writing about movies that sucked. Seems weird to me. Passive aggressive shrug. :shrug:
