I tried playing mothership zeta and holy moly is it bad. Maybe not Fo76 bad but bad in its own way. The only thing I like more than pipboy is corridors full of bad guys. I don't think I can finish this.

I don't remember having much issues with Mothership Zeta, beyond the "punch your way out of the cell" at the beginning with a character with no melee skills. I wanted to like Point Lookout more than I did, I still want a Fallout Louisiana after all, but by the time I got there the level scaling was absolutely hosed. Actually, why is Bethesda really bad at level scaling? Broken Steel's high level enemies were the worst, and spending minutes back-pedalling from albino radscorpions was the antithesis of fun.

In an effort to stop high level players from just blazing their way through the DLC and add some 'challenge' Bethesda made the damage resistances stupidly high on the higher tier enemies so you had to plink away at them forever. They also got an extremely high damage bonus so they could down you in one or two hits but the weapons they used were next to useless when you looted them. That's when you break out the console and type in /kill so you can move on and explore.

It's bad but nothing is fallout 76 bad. Fortunately anything less than 'instant phenomenon' with anthem is likely to lead to EA closing bioware, so I'm excited for the weeks to come

Fallom posted:BioWare killed Mass Effect for Anthem lol Nah, Andromeda was a genuine effort from a team that genuinely did not have the chops to do that kind of game. They didn't short it on behalf of Anthem. Both Andromeda's and Anthem's greatest sins are genuine poor choices and lack of clear vision, not any kind of high level studio fuckery.

Wasn't the team kinda split up though while both were being developed? Or was that fan hyperbole trying to defend the sanctity of bioware by making it sound like Andromeda was made by a B team?

Or was that fan hyperbole trying to defend the sanctity of bioware by making it sound like Andromeda was made by a B team? I think the actual thing is Anthem and Andromeda both started pre-production after ME3, and when Casey Hudson left they shelved Anthem to go full bore on Andromeda. Once Andromeda was well into production they started back on Anthem and Casey Hudson came back to oversee the project. Most bigger game companies these days have rolling production cycles. There are a lot of people who do work early in production but aren't needed later on so you tend to start them on the next thing while the current one is still getting polished. mango sentinel fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Feb 22, 2019 |

Tei posted:Anthem: a house, but not a home Tei this is disingenuous and you know it. Fallout 76 cant be a home. And if it was it would delete it the moment someone else tried to enter and replace it with theirs. And then you would get banned for duping somehow. Also unless Anthem is also the absolute trashfire of a game that caused a 3 hour video of bugs to be created i think it comes out looking better. poo poo its the first game in a "new" series so there isnt even a pattern to emulate. Unlike 76 where the pattern is well established and still got hosed up amazingly. The only thing that fallout 76 has going for it over anthem is that this dumpster fire is possibly funnier.

TBH there are probably a lot of goons who would feel pretty comfortable in a home stuffed with two century old trash and skeletons with an 8 foot gash in every wall It would be like the world never ended so long as they had a generator online.

Anthem's kind of bad because it failed to learn any lessons from the past few years of looter shooters F76 is very bad because it failed to learn any lessons from the past 30+ years of general game development

That's actually their internal working document... their roadmap has 9 generalized goals split into 3 time periods. Yes, Todd wanted "new features" by "Summer 2019" without specifying what it is he actually wants or a date when they are to be ready.

Rinkles posted:they have plans! WILD APPALACHIA RELEASE: SPRING 2019 New Quests: Shear Terror! Uncover the encryptid secrets of Appalachia in a new series of quests and encounters to separate monsters from myths. They kinda already have all the tapes and this just sounds like a daily thing of go kill a monster. New Quests: Ever Upwards Journey to the deepest reaches of the woods with new stories for the legendary Pioneer Scouts. Earn merit badges, climb the ranks, and earn a customizable backpack for increased utility. Another lovely daily quest located at BFE part of the map no one goes too. New Features: Legendary Vendor and Scrapping Locate the mysterious Purveyor to exchange and scrap your unwanted legendary items for new legendary gear. For every star rating on a legendary item you scrap, increase your chances to get the legendary weapon or armor of your dreams. This should have totally be in the game in at launch. New Features: C.A.M.P. Decorating, Player Vending, Functional Camera Use items from your stash to decorate your C.A.M.P. Build vending machines and flag items for sale. Simply set your prices and walk away to continue your adventures in Appalachia, being sure to capture all your favorite memories using the new functional camera. The vending machines do all the work, you just need to count the caps. I thought they said this would be in at launch. New Features: Brewing and Distilling Go on a new quest to discover the secrets of the forbidden brew Nukashine and bring the party back to your C.A.M.P with new brewing and distilling systems and recipes. So basically the nuka distillers from nuka world? Kinda should have already been in the game. New Seasonal Event: Fasnacht Parade Chase away Old Man Winter and quicken the coming of spring with the ancient festival of Fasnacht! Join the celebration and complete this new limited-time event to earn unique rewards in the form of festive Fasnacht Masks. A new event that happens with useless masks, meh. New Game Mode: Survival This all-new game mode brings a higher-stakes PvP experience with fewer restrictions, increased rewards, and new challenges plus all the original content of Adventure Mode. Pvp in the game is just awful. NUCLEAR WINTER RELEASE: SUMMER 2019 New Game Mode: Nuclear Winter An entirely new way to play Fallout 76, completely changing the rules of the Wasteland. This will just be warmth and wet modifiers to go with food and drink. So maybe something they could have cannibalized from mods already. New Vault Raids: Vaults 96 and 94 Opening For our most seasoned players, test your strength in all new high-level group Vault Raids. Snore super duper mobs that take millions of bullets. New Feature: Legendary Players An all-new prestige system will allow players above level 50 to become Legendary, resetting their characters with all new more powerful abilities. More skills to not balance or maybe to fix their awful skills. WASTELANDERS RELEASE: FALL 2019 Embark on a tale with true choice and consequences in Wastelanders our biggest and most ambitious update for 76. Wastelanders will include a new main questline, new factions, new events, new features and even more surprises. The fireworks will be wet.
