Ok, gather around for a story time. With the fallout 76 membership bonuses have brought some things to light for me. Before I talk about this, I want to talk about Elder Scrolls Online and its membership bonuses, specifically one bonus you get. When ESO came out you were quite limited in bag space which made crafting very very very annoying to do. The game also had an optional monthly fee at the time which only gave you some store bucks each month and nothing else because the game was buy to play (sounds just like FO76). At one point they found a way to get people to always subscribe to the game. It was a magical feature they added to the subscription. It is called the crafting bag. It is an unlimited space bag which is shared across all characters on your account. It is the reason people are still subscribing to the game right now. Raising crafting allows you to do crafting dailies(They are called crafting writs) in ESO, which are the best passive source of income in the game. Now that's not even the best part! It gets better! There are elite crafting dailies which require you to know how to craft every type of item in the game and the more you know, the more money you make. To do the daily it costs a large number of resources but it is possible to make it cost nothing because you are rewarded with a marginal amount of resources when you finish the daily. You multiply this per character you have at max level and you are making hundreds of thousands of gold a day and recovering all your costs in resources if you have enough characters(BUY MORE CHARACTER SLOTS BECOME THE RICH). People also do a strategy of crafting dailies where they do the lowest level of daily and still make a small passive profit. All of this is made easier through having a subscription and having access to the crafting bag. Now when you look at the stash in FO76 and their new unlimited scrap storage with the 100 buck pass looks very familiar. I think it was planned from the start solely how similar it is to what happened in ESO. Or maybe they went to the ESO guys and they told them the secret of making people pay a monthly fee for unlimited storage. One of these things definitely happened, in my opinion. Both these games might be freemium garbage dumps to only fool the rubes out of their schmeckles. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Oct 25, 2019 |

Tenzarin is a compass that always points south. Useful for navigation if you know it's always wrong. A broken clock possessed by a vengeful spirit that continuously changes the hands to never be right any time of day. For real though what compels you to hold such strong convictions and want to share them in this, the fo76 hatepit

Magmarashi posted:I imagine the unlimited scrap bonus is tied to the 'only 8 people max to a server' limit, honestly. Just like how in Simcity2013 they were doing so many calculations server side so the poop flowed through the sewer pipes right that no home PC could possibly run it.

Except there's content in ESO. Like, places to go and things to do and a world to explore. And, y'know, the game works.

ESO started out sub only and only went B2P like a year + after release for a rebranding which made the sub optional but with additional new perks for having a sub. while you can play the game without a sub to just do base game story stuff the sub has always been part of the business model cause its an mmo craft bag wasnt even a thing until like 3-4 years into the games life and people crafted just fine before then ESO isn't even made by bethesda

Orv posted:Hilariously it seems even those people can see through this one. But I do not even have any specific philosophical opposition to giving developers of games I love extra money, and yet I still do not understand this Also Dying Light is one of the best games of the decade and both Dead Island games were good too plus you can literally completely import your character from Dead Island into Dead Island: Riptide and everything but your equipment carries over, how totally RPG is that

Dead island was notable for being a survival game… But one of the characters special powers was, they would get mad and pull out some guns. Also amazing is when it went from survival horror crafting to your first weapon that has poison fog damage.

from polygonquote:A Bethesda Softworks representative said that an update to private world settings will be coming soon, to allow players to control all access to their private servers. The company also examined the Scrap Box and private server recycling issues. lol regarding recycled servers, they claim that's not true. items and containers don't respawn because that's how all servers work for a character: server hopping doesn't refresh loot and containers.

Inspector Gesicht posted:Honestly, how much of Fallout 4 wasn't Radiant quests or Empty Settlements? And of what of the handmade content was memorable except for the excellent USS Constitution quest? There's some minor tunnel system with a mine or similar that has a neat little story about some cursed dagger or similar. It's the only part where I felt the writing was getting a bit more interesting, so it was probably not made by the main writers.

pretty much every story unconnected to the main plot in 4 was really well written or at least entertaining, its just deeply confusing why nothing related to the main plot of the game got this same level of polish or sheen.

If anyone is interested in trying out the terrible game that is fallout 76 on pc and wants access to a 99% unused acc with 2 characters under lvl 30 (obviously feel free to make your own) PM me. Once every 6-9 months I get the urge to try it and its fun for a few hours and then it gets very not fun and I regret the massive install.

age of decadence suffers from the same decisions many rpgs make - they make your baseline competency almost zero want to tie your shoes? well even though you're an adult, you didn't put any points into shoelace tying so you won't get that option. You cant ask a friend for help because you failed the charisma check. you can't read a book on it because 'child's guide to knot-tying' requires 2 points of reading comprehension and you only have one. you can't do the obvious choices or anything neat, other than what you funnel points into

I don't know anything about age of decadence. But the funny thing is that disco elysium leans in hard to that decision but the failure itself is usually funny/interesting/causes even more chaos awkwardness ambiguity and confusion, so it becomes one of the things that helps make it one of the glorious clusterfucks of all time

Wolfsheim posted:I know this seems ludicrous because F76 is kind of the endpoint of taking out everything enjoyable about Fallout and you can kind of see the trajectory from when they took over the franchise but 4 is absolutely better than 3. They both have the same problems (stripped down choices and reactivity, very little meaningful RPG skill checks and stupid writing, a dumb main quest) but 4 does most of the good things better? It's just nostalgia talking. No way Jose, 3 is “better” because it pretty good for a first try at making a first person Fallout game. 4 is worse because it is their second try and all they apparently learned since three was “make three again but somehow more bland, add building houses out of trash”.
