Even if you think no one outside of Europe and USA is allowed into the internet 1/3 of Europe is missing too.

Yeah, but you're posting on an English language forum, having an American/UK and former UK colonies focus isn't too weird.

Fallout 76 is having a free weekend on Steam. It's still a pretty bad game, and even it's supporters will usually admit that the early game grind is the worst part of the game, but you can give it a try and experience it ironically.

Counterpoint, I very much enjoy Fallout 76. It's still pretty janky, but janky in a fun way instead of a game breaking way. If you played Fallout 4 and enjoyed clearing out a location and stealing everything of value to make guns, armor, and houses, but hated the terrible story and characters the game forces you to interact with, give 76 a shot.

At some point I remember people reporting just having 76 permanently added to their accounts after playing during a free weekend. Was that something that happened? And if so, did they ever fix it?

And if so, did they ever fix it? I've tried to get into the game a couple times, but it's just such an awful experience: starting with a 1 in every SPECIAL stat, having no control over your Perk management until level 20+, and having every item level-gated so that nothing you find is meaningful until you grind out to Level 50 to discover there's no real end-game content except for terrible RNG. I've found it much more engaging just to follow the game's awful development/updates than to play the game.

i got a "free copy" differently. if you were part of the beta and didn't uninstall within some short period, it became impossible to properly uninstall, because the bethesda client wouldn't give you permission to touch those files. of course i couldn't actually play the game, so i was stuck with 50 or whatever gigs of bloat for over half a year, when they suddenly remembered to fix it. (yes there probably were ways around it (control panel uninstall didn't work either, though), but i didn't want to mess around with the registry to make sure everything was clean) that game was something else.

I couldn't play it because they didn't allow you to install it on any other drive than the C drive. Then it got fixed and I played it and it was alright. Thanks for my Ted Talk

I liked reading about if you spent a ton of money on 76 you got a special icon next to your name, and then everyone without the special icon would try and merk you because gently caress the rich, was nice.

The community was outraged at first, because the game was already heavily reliant on the microtransaction-based Atom Shop, and it seemed insulting to force players to pay $10 a month for fixes to the game that had been requested since launch. There were Reddit threads announcing the organization of groups to grief Fallout 1st members & petitions to stop playing the game if Bethesda didn't reverse course on the matter. Of course, now the game's remaining player population seem to be heavily skewed towards people paying this subscription fee, to the point that Reddit threads just assume that everybody reading has the membership and the Reddit threads now are complaints that Bethesda hasn't added more features to Fallout 1st.

Heads up for anyone who has a Classic Choice subscription on Humble. It looks like they've opened up (or hosed up) an extra 2 claims for 2019-2020, allowing you to grab all the games for all months before January 2021. Looks like they already ran out of keys for This Is The Police 2, so act quick.

I've been grabbing every single free game on Epic Game Store and barely install any of them and have barely played any of them, so I understand they might think I'm a bot. Is everyone else getting captcha asks. twice in a row it was "identify the pictures with bicycles" and the most recent they had pictures of motorcycles in the mix, assholes.

I used to get them early on, but not recently. You can always use the client instead.

You'll get hit with captchas more often if you're on a VPN, as well

My epic account was made by a bot using my email and I just changed the password on it when I found it, so I wouldn't be surprised if they thought I was a bot.

Do they let you turn off the awful blur and depth of field in Fallout 76 yet? I tried it out on gamepass but got motion sickness pretty much immediately. The graphic settings really messed with my depth perception as well. Super strange because I never ran into any issues like that in Fallout 4.

With Fallout 4, so many of the blatantly bad aspects of the game were fixed by mods, but Fallout 76 doesn't have that kind of crutch to fall back on. Dead By Daylight is also having a Free Weekend now, and that's a much better game that's more tailored to using a few days to decide whether it interests you or not.

I've never gotten any of those captchas but I've actually thrown  Sweeney's way a few times for Hades and Outer Wilds, so maybe they stop bot-checking if you've spent actualmoney.
