That roadmap looks like a lot of positive additions to the game that'll probably get me to put in another 20 or 30 hours of puttering around and dressing up my pretty little dollhouse in the woods.

corn in the bible posted:or they could have actually made a port of the bethesda single player experience. you could do a destiny ripoff centered on a vault and put a bunch of npcs in the vault to talk to, and it wouldn't even be that hard Its just too bad Anthem kind of beat them to the punch in that. Hell, if it had single player aspects at least it wouldn't be competing with actual big name and competent and competitive multiplayer games. The most fun this game is to some folks is not even bothering with online play or just with a few people, so I'm not sure why a game that is this close to mine craft isn't just completely modeled after that.

Iron Crowned posted:OR they could have just cobbled together a half-assed single player, it would be better. Naw. If they had the line would have been "Why didn't they just make this half-assed multiplayer. At least then it would have been fun with friends." 76 is just terrible in all respects. Clearly Bethesda had no idea what game they wanted to make and ended up haphazardly cobbling together a bunch of existing mechanics from other games once they ran into their own arbitrary deadline. It is just an incoherent mess. SwitchbladeKult fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Feb 25, 2019 |

It's not something they can possibly fix, either. There is basically 50% of the game missing, and in the years it would take to complete, people are going to move on to $60 placeholder preorder

Jon is incredibly naive if he thinks much of the stuff he proposed in that video has any chance of happening (didn't watch the whole thing, skipped between bits). One of his ideas is a single player campaign that would occur before the scorch plague killed everyone, because otherwise all the factions and most of the storytelling potential is wasted. Great, but he talks about it as if it's something Bethesda might still patch in.

Rinkles posted:Lesson learned, but Tei's early evangelizing had a non-zero role in my own purchase of 76. Pre-ordering any game is a really bad move. Absolutely zero developers are trustworthy to put out a good game these days, and if you are lucky, they are a Blizzard-tier developer who might fix it within a couple of years, while the price goes down for newcomers. Also, almost every Games OP is a starry-eyed ad for the game and most of the posters are stans for it. Only stuff with ridiculously bad word of mouth goes without this treatment. Expectations were pretty low for Fallout 76 because Fallout 4 wasn't very good, but I don't know that anyone could have predicted 76 being this bad, even among people who thought it would be bad. But, pre-ordering any game is a really bad move.

The reddit for this game is hilarious. I really enjoy the people who post bugs that even the Bethesda community managers acknowledge as real existing bugs, who immediately get yelled at for being anti-bethesda or whatever, or are straight up accused of lying.

Lockback at least explore the map, it is very pretty and the soundtrack is good. Once you've seen all the regions I'd say you've gotten 60% of the juice, go from there.

When Interplay was still contesting the rights wasn't their play to try to do a Fallout MMO? Remember that? Does doing iso stuff save a significant amount of time these days vs true 3D? I would imagine it would but with advances in modeling tools and procedural generation and stuff you never know.

Someone knows the full story but it happened and then they nerfed drop rates until the point it was basically impossible to get items. And by that point people had amassed a huge amount of stuff that was now hard to get.

I do wonder if people who bought the game learned any lessons. I am still trying to piece together a picture of the relative success of this title however I think the key is if people value brand loyalty over product quality. Did any % of the fanboy club realise that supporting a broken product from artistically, morally and technically bankrupt game developer is not healthy for them, game industry and the IPs they so love? I don't do preorders as a rule, but there is one significant exception to this - I will preorder any RPG CDPR puts up for preorder. They have built up so much goodwill with W3+DLCs that I will preorder Cyberpunk blindly. And the most expensive version. I just want to give them money because I feel even at full price, I underpaid for the W3 experience. I guess that makes me a blind fanboy:)

Generally I'd agree, however there is one instance where I'll defend preorders - those rare instances where you can get a discount for doing so. As an example, between a preorder discount and a coupon someone had posted, I was able to preorder Two Point Hospital for something like 50% off. At that price point it was worth the risk.

Don't pre-order "TRIPLE A"* games. *Using Jim Sterling's comedy squeaky voice for this part. But seriously, never, ever, ever pre-order any games from the big AAA publishers, they'll gently caress you over, pre-ordering a game about a hospital made by a couple of old Theme Hospital developers? That aren't Peter Moloneux? Yeah, that's probably going to be fine.
