we can go back and try posting like wildstar people used to, with your character level and gear, in order to have any sort of criticism be okayed

you also need to start posts with "I love this game and think the devs are doing a great job, but"

Nah, Polygon is where we herd the shills and the main body of defenders so they can be isolated from the rest of the Internet. Besides, Polygon needed the extra traffic.

See, but that's the ridiculous part. Not even listing the (many) flaws with the game qualifies the genuine enjoyment for certain posters here. Like, everyone's being self-fulfilling here. The attempts to cast the game solely as magnificent or irredeemable trash are both uninteresting and unfunny. Weird, maybe, but not interesting or funny.

Also: Pip Boy.

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
I don't have time to play potter-about crafting games, but New Vegas is mt favourite game so now I'm compelled to follow any games that have the same brand name attached to them, and I have to pretend it's so I can laugh at the trainwreck of a developer and game engine that can barely handle single-player games jumping with both feet into the MMO scene while apparently firing all their PR people because they just keep loving up insanely, but I'm really just hoping to somehow catch a glimpse of New Vegas somewhere in there, like a girl i have a crush on who I know is at the same party as me

lmao they're defending the game's honor by issuing debate challenges.

quote:

I challenge any YouTube personality to a debate about Fallout 76 'news'

Hi, my name is Jonny, and quite frankly I am tired of watching reddit's words being taken out of context for the community having criticism of YouTube personalities talking about Fallout, so I am giving a Callout (see what I did there) to see if any of these people would be willing to objectively talk about the issues surrounding the criticisms on both sides of the fence.

The trouble with YouTube (JuiceHead, Upper Echelon, Paragon Hex, TheQuartering, YongYea) is that it is what is considered a one way asymmetrical communication tool with some secondary two way. This means that a content creator can post what they want, but by amassing a following over time they are unable to see differentiating opinions well, or at all, and those opinions are drowned out. This is infinitely more funny because many YouTube personalities get their information from subreddit pages. It is a vicious cycle.

So with everything in mind, I challenge you, YouTube. I will make my account public and stream a debate as long as you would like about Fallout 76 unverified content releases and examples of the YouTube community chasing down negative controversy.

how much more cliche can you get?

Ok, while fair and true that it deserves criticism I was responding to a post about wasting time doing fetch quests in order to learn to boil water, a thing that isn't actually accurate at all, and call me old fashioned but outright lying about something doesn't really equate to criticism

Oh, I'm sorry, was it to boil water with a leaf in, instead?

And you need a different recipe for each kind of leaf you want to boil in that water? And another set if you want to add sugar?

On one hand, it's cliche. On the other hand TheQuartering is a six foot pile of human excrement molded into humanoid form with the wit and morals of a particularly dim hagfish, so I have a soft spot for criticism of him.

What is it in particular about this busted poo poo game that's inspiring all of these bizarre paranoid manifestos over it? Is it that a massive AAA game finally suffered extremely negative feedback from nearly every source for their bullshit for once?

Because hell, that's something to celebrate if anything.

I think it's because a lot of people have a lot of emotional investment in Bethesda and the Fallout franchise due to good memories of Morrowind and Fallout 1/2 etc so they take the criticism personally.

You don't see people getting defensive over Big Rigs being infamously broken because they don't have the same connection or investment in the developer yet Big Rigs and FO76 are about the same degree of broken poo poo.

Actually, at least Big Rigs had the decency of not charging $60 USD then slapping microtransactions on top under the guise of AAA game marketing.

CM talking about how no one other than NMA hates the game is hilarious. I've played every PC game of Fallout since the first one and have loved them all despite their bugs and on occasion, stupid gameplay.

And yet, here I am hating the gently caress out of this game even though it has all of the Fallout trappings.

Is it because I hate Bethesda or is it because this game is buggy beyond enjoyable playability? The world may never know.

camels aren't so great
i have 200 hours in morrowind, and oblivion, 300+ hours each in skyrim, fo3, new vegas, all of which i only stopped playing because after doing all the quests i loaded so many mods on my savegames that they'd become unplayable (which is entirely a hell of my own making). Their writing is bland to bad, the combat is clunky and trivialized in a dozen different ways, the engine falls apart in mostly funny ways (that aren't c2ds) but i still enjoyed my time spent freeroaming and even after having put 180 hours into 100%ing Witcher 3 which entirely shames all of Bethesda's output on basically every level i still remember them fondly for just being shallow yet giant sandboxes of stuff to stumble on (and shoot with arrows/sniperrifles). No, scrap hovering grind doesn't count as "stuff" for me.

the idea of building unwavering, desperately defensive brand/labeling loyalty over that to the point of broke-brain paranoia posting a million times monkey-style is incredibly hilarious to me. If anything you'd think you'd hold that new stuff to way higher standards because you're coming to it with tons of rose-tinted nostalgia. Which is probably why FO4 basically isn't grabbing me at all either.
