The thing that keeps me from playing the game is no private servers or ability for poo poo you build to persist. Without those two things, I'll never see the point in this game. If I can't continually build up a dumpster village with friends, wtf would I play it?

Fast zombies suck because it’s a just a stand in for “athletic minorities” to the prepper mindset. Slow zombies are more akin to the reality of fat old white people shambling around looking for insulin.

FlamingLiberal posted:I’m guessing they are not going to pay for private servers with how the game has flopped either That's ok with me. I'd probably buy the game on sale if it offered that option. Being able to either play completely alone or with close friends in a persistent world is FAR preferable to whatever they have now.

If you're buying it for the exploration alone you're still better off just buying FO4, or if you've played that already, paint-thinner to erase your memory of it, because that way you at least get save management, mods and dev consoles to fix the most heinous not-actually-funny bugs, and aren't stuck with babies-first-netcode bolted onto the already infamously festering ancient mess

Want good post apocalyptic 1st person fun? Play New Vegas or any of the Metro series. Last game was drat good. Want a dumb fallout sandbox? Fallout 3 or 4. You got tons of mods that can help balance and improve the world? Want to make scrap bases and gather junk? Fallout 4. 76 has no plot, bases that go away, hardly any multi player and you have to plink away forever with your lovely guns at buggy, unoriginal enemies if the game doesn’t crash or glitch out causing you to relog into a different server. There is literally no reason to waste your money on 76. Mobile games have more. Anthem sucks hard but at least they can claim the iron man ripoff aesthetic. Just give Lowtax the money and do some good... he could even call you a nerd or kick you in the balls if you want the punishment aspect of Fallout 76.

There are so many open world games out there now that there is no reason to ever play Fallout 76. I actually like the shooty mans + pickup trash Bethesda game loop, but everywhere you go and everything you do in the game world will constantly remind you that "this was a mistake".

I prefer 76 over fo4 just because there is no dumb story. It's a semi decent single player game right now.

rodbeard posted:I strongly disagree on this point. The game was physically large, but they didn't do anything with most of it. Aside from a couple of set pieces the game was nothing but procedurally generated content. They leaned so heavily onto radiant quests and those have been implemented from their very first elder scroll game and they haven't done anything with it. Bethesda at this point is basically the Madden NFL of RPGs. You get the exact game every time with slightly better graphics and new rosters. I was stoked for F4 and loved it until about halfway in when the sheen wore off and I realized oh it is about as deep as a puddle and I can't actually really talk to anyone to figure out just what the hell their motivations are. Does anyone know what the Institute's actual end plan with the synths was??? At no point can you just ask anyone there. Far Harbor was the best part of F4.

gently caress now I want to play Far Harbour again. It is easily the best storytelling Bethesda has done with Fallout and it's definitely their best DLC ever. The fact that the story is not only coherent but done well is such a shocking breath of fresh air in a Bethesda RPG that it is simultaneously entertaining as hell and hugely disappointing because it shows that they can make good stories but by and large choose not to. Separate from the rest of Fallout 4 Far Harbor is drat near perfect and most of its shortcomings have to do with the same pitfalls that harm the base game. There are a few story hiccups but they're easy for me to forgive when the setting and setup is so compelling.

The idea was that they would eventually replace humans as the primary species on the planet, something more suitable to the new radiated/hosed up world. I'm pretty sure it's explained if you side with the Institute, although it's been a while so I can't remember the details. Humanity has supposedly already been permanently damaged beyond repair, hence why they used pre-war human DNA as the basis for the new synth model.

So for the few people remaining, I wasted my time in checking out that new backpack that they added. What some quality quest that I'm sure people will just not give up on instantly. Lets begin! 1.Read a Pioneer Scouts Recruiting Poster 2.Go to the quest robot at the Pioneer Scouts Camp 3.Get the real quest quote:Demonstrate Pioneer Scout Values - 4 Ok, lets start on this quest with the easy stuff. 1. Kindness: Revive an Ally, try to actually find someone in the game that is online and then dead for you to revive them. 2. Helpfulness: Clean up Kiddie Corner Cabins, this part of the quest is one of those server things that may already be completed when you get there so it instantly finishes when you start the quest. 3. Bravery: Control Pests at Dolly Sods, Go do some really lovely daily on the other side of the map. 4. Growth: Earn Scout World Challenge Badges - 3, It doesn't tell you where this is but its in the challenges menu under world. GL figuring this out without the internet. The three easiest are Archer, Athlete, and Swimming. You have to complete three total. 5. Tadpole: Archer a. Pass "Archer" knowledge exam, take an actual quiz about archery. b. Complete the Pioneer Scouts shooting test, some lovely test thing. c. Craft 50 Crossbow Bolts d. Repair 3 Crossbows, you can repair the same crossbow. e. Kill 50 enemies with a Crossbow, shoot things. 6. Tadpole: Athlete a. Pass "Athlete" knowledge exam, take an actual quiz about athletics. b. Have a Strength stat greater than or equal to 5, GL non strength people. c. Have an Agility stat greater than or equal to 6, GL non agility people. d. Complete athletic course at Camp Venture, lovely jump quests like the military training e. Complete athletic course at New River Gorge Bridge f. Complete athletic course at Sunnytop Ski Lanes 7. Tadpole: Swimmer a. Pass "Swimming" knowledge exam, take an actual quiz about swimming. b. Complete the Pioneer Scouts swimming test at Spruce Knob Lake c. Revive another player while in the water, Lol I hope you didn't waste you time trying to do step one. You can not be in deep water or you instantly die. You have to be in shallow water and either die from falling damage into the water or shooting explosives at your feet. If the explosive damage is too high you will also instantly die without the chance to revive. d. Take a camera picture of "Crocolossus Mountain" at Wavy Willar's Water Park, go to the water part and take a picture this sure sounds easy. e. Take a camera picture of "Ssslither Slide" at Wavy Willar's Water Park,........... f. Take a camera picture of "Wavy Waves" at Wavy Willar's Water Park,................................ Ok so you got to Wavy Willar's Water Park and take these pictures but nothing is happening? It turns out you can't use photomode, you must acquire this new item from a quest they released awhile ago, called a  camera. I hope you already did this "quest" without wasting all you time with this other poo poo before you attempted to get this far. Lets talk about what pain is next!The camera is an item from a quest found in the world to help a tourist complete their bucket list. 8. Here's the spawn locations of the tourist. It is completely random on every server good loving luck, hahahahahahahaha. a. Bolton Greens b. Camden c. Prickett's Fort d. Kanawha Nuka Cola Plant (Lobby) e. Uncanny Caverns: Inside cave, down the stairs in the photo area with 'The Beautiful Uncanny Caverns' sign f. Miners Monument: On the North side of stairs up to miner stature g. Colonel Kelly Monument: On the bench up the stairs, near monument itself h. Palace of the Winding Path i. Philippi Cemetary: amongst the gravestones j. Whitesprings k. Watoga l. Point Pleasant Mothman Museum: in front of the mothman statue m. Ohio River Adventures Dock n. Tyler County Fairgrounds: In the chairs on the East-most side of the fair o. Beckley Mine Exhibit: against car in parking lot in front of mining exhibit p. Landview Lighthouse: leaning on railing at the top of the lighthouse q. Giant Teapot r. Wavy Willards: Leaning against car in parking lot, straight ahead from fast travel point 9. Great you got the camera, go take those pictures. 10. Enjoy your extra 30 carry weight. I only got half way through this myself. If you don't have the strength or agility for the athlete badge you have to do one more of these. quote:Tadpole: Codebreaker quote:Tadpole: Cook quote:Tadpole: Entomologist quote:Tadpole: Herpetologist quote:Tadpole: Hunter quote:Tadpole: Mammalogist quote:Tadpole: Medic I don't know if anyone posted this crap yet but lol at them thinking the last 10 people playing the game are really looking to do this.

You are all correct in saying Fallout 76 is a bad game and there are other games to play rather than it, that is why I am playing other games such as Vampyr which is a pretty good budget game that is punching well above its weight. I am a very handsome vampire man and I kill zombies and hand out asprin to the masses.

It's well worth playing at the price it's available for now, though, if only for the setting and voice acting.

One of the hot threads on /fo76 today is begging Bethesda to move the fast travel for white springs. Apparently when you arrive, you're placed outside the door, so you get the fast travel loading screen and the door opening loading screen. Good stuff, 7 months inWrr posted:If I had to pick between Days Gone, Rage 2, and Fallout 76 I'd have to go with Fallout 76. I've played both and I'm enjoying rage 2 way more. Days Gone shoves its dumb video game story in your face constantly and the guns feel like dogshit. They also patched in a game breaking bug with the first week patch that hasn't been fixed yet, it literally stops you from progressing.

The legendary vendor came out today. You can trade legendaries in for scrap. One star = 5, two star = 15, and three star = 40 scrap. Vendor daily scrap limit is 150. To buy a three star legendary weapon costs 100 scrap. It's also complete random drop rate on the modifiers. Meh.

I came across someone wearing a pipboy backpack on my way into work a couple weeks ago. I had never seen anything like that in the wild before - I didn't know people actually bought poo poo like that and wore it in public. Guy was dressed in a sharp, well tailored suit, too. And decided this lovely looking gaming backpack was the perfect addition to his ensemble. Freaked me out when I saw it. I think I stared at the back of him for 2 or 3 blocks as I walked to my office. He clearly had money for frivolous poo poo like that but I don't know why he wasn't wasting it on blow or hookers like everyone else who works on Bay St.
