Cyberpunkey Monkey, I am glad you enjoy the game. For your own sake, I hope Bethesda manages to bring it to a state where it is actually playable.

I'm not defending this game. I'm making fun of the histrionic nonsense people are spewing about 76. There is a difference.

Fwiw, I only threw down my :10bux: X 5 because I got all of Fallout 4 on sale for :10bux: X 5 total and spent 400 hours building virtual blanket forts. I wanted to give Bethesda some more cash to make games. But I guess the consensus around here is that there weren't enough dialogue options, so it must have been a really lovely game? I didn't realize that comparing the number of dialogue options were how we decided which video games were better, but here we are.

It really isn't the engine, though; plenty of not-trash games have been made with gamebryo. Bethesda has never really bothered to tighten their games up because people were willing to accept their ridiculously unpolished poo poo (and even polish it themselves.) To put it another way, does anyone here seriously believe that they'd have done a better job with Frostbite or Unreal? The problem is Bethesda, full stop.

I mean yeah obviously that too

That's the consensus, all right. There weren't enough dialogue options, so it must have been a really lovely game.

Wow holy poo poo, I used to work in a call center doing customer service tickets for random products outsourced to us as well corporate Oracle database support, among other things.

How is this even possible? Did... did Bethesda attempt to code their own customer service ticketing system yet somehow terribly botched something incredibly basic? :psyduck: If so, why didn't they just outsource this poo poo like any other sane company? Bethesda is insanely incompetent even when it comes to money-grubbing, I literally - without exaggeration - cannot believe it.

How do they manage to walk and breathe at the same time, let alone keep themselves in business for decades?

my opinion is .. we don't know, and we can be wrong, and the truth can be complicate.

not saying TheAgent is exactly wrong, he is probably onto something. I am just saying without good information is a bad idea to jump to conclusions

having an astronomical amount of doubt of both sides isnt a good stance to stand in

admitting that this is a colossal fuckup and moving past it and letting bethesda deal with the suffering is the best option

but supporting something out of brand or lore fandome than theres something wrong with this whole release down to a t with late capitalism

bethesda austin was the main developer on this game, and they were working on battlecry until late 2015/early 2016

they scrapped everything with battlecry, salvaged whatever they could and tried to shoehorn in a fallout franchise using existing assets from previous fallout games and what was already produced for battlecry

they jammed multiplayer into fallout4, thatrs really all that happened. they didnt smash fallout into whatever they built for battlecry

The idea that there needs to be a class of people above you called managers, who take on multiple projects at a time and throw them to whomever is capable of doing it, youre going to rush and do stuff fast when the demands are DO SO OR BE FIRED NOW
