    I enjoyed the original main quest from Day 1. It was actually very well written, and the factions and events that went down were very engaging.
    That said, they should've just let us LIVE these events, instead of hear about them in holotapes.
    The Wastelanders update is pure garbage trash. Raiders caring about official gold-backed paper money makes zero sense. Raiding is all about taking shortcuts.
    Overall it's a solid 5.5/10. If it was moddable, and didn't have input lag, It'd be as good as Fallout 4.

        Well the fallout 76 world is like if fallout 4 was hosted on Bethesda servers so you open a chest or something and your computer is asking Bethesdas servers whats in the chest

        If it was a multiplayer like no mans sky than each person would be running the game and the multiplayer would be p2p or something. I dont think no mans sky has servers do they? It would mean you would not rubber band but other players in your world might

            Multiplayer Fallout is awesome and has its benefits
            Starting at level 1 you can make tons of caps per hour by buying cheap things from other players and selling things in at your camp you make in good locations
            Awesome concept and works great, also player vs everything works great in 76. There are not player battles because it would either be extremely one sided or a 30 minute slog fest
            But lagging in 76 is insane and it also works as a hack you can duplicate items by having a room with 20000 rendered items slowing the server down

          Not him, but I dunno. I finished FO1 recently and I thought it was just fricking awful. Just made me absolutely livid for 3 whole days about the years I've heard about it being such a better RPG in builds, combat, and dialogue, only for it to be the same Speech + Guns shoot em up slog, with dialogue choices for the player on about the same level as Fallout 4 in number and quality--not to mention the entirety of the Boneyard being fricked in tracking your quest progress.

          I was reluctant to try FO2 after that fricking mess, but in the 20 minutes I played, I found myself liking it a bit more. Part of it is that I go into Klamanth and I get way better writing for my dialogue choices and more of them than in Fallout 1, along with things just flowing a lot smoother (I'm seeing a lot fewer times where I'm forced out of dialogue and have to re-enter it after I get an answer for my questions). The other part is that I've heard about the Temple of Trials being this terrible fricking slog that filtered billions, but it's straightforward as shit and is honestly less of a slog than the rats in the Vault 13 entrance and Necropolis Sewers. If older players got filtered by this, then holy frick that's infinitely more embarrassing than the morons the got tripped up by the Golden Claw in Skyrim.

          As far as I'm concerned, you frickers have lost all credibility, and the first 20 minutes are better than the entirety of FO1, so everything after this point is going to just be fricking gravy, even if it does turn out to be incredibly shit.

    There will never be another good one. They noticed that just making a demonic "show" and saying that it's canon means nothing, so now they want to ruin the actual franchise. That's why they just recently confirmed "fallout" 5. They will do the sames things they did in the "show" and also have things from the "show" in it. Their hope is to destroy fallout forever because Todd made it based and american as hell.

    this game sucks so much wiener for a variety of reasons, from season pass bullshit, to microtransactions out the ass, to horrible balancing, to performance issues, and just generally looking like shit, to name a few but good lord doing a hack and slash VATS unarmed build and just machine gun punching shit with my industrial hand until they explode into gore chunks is one of the most satisfying experiences I have had in a game to date

      >season pass
      Why would you buy that? The season pas doesn't hinder your enjoyment of the game because it's not even a thing that you have or want. Unless, like a dummy, you purchased it. That's why you had a bad time, because you wasted money.
      >microtransactions
      Same as above. You get what you deserve. The game is fun as hell but instead of playing it you choose to waste money and then cry that your money is gone.
      >balancing
      what? You mean because high level players have stronger stuff than you? Stop being a homosexual, that doesn't matter. It makes the game more fun but because you can't fricking think because you have no brain, you don't care. You just heard the word balancing before and decided to pretend like you care about that.
      >performance issues
      My game crashed like once and that's it. Not even very many glitches. Sounds like something is wrong on your end.
      >looks like shACK

        You can buy this with Atoms you get for free and if you complete the whole season you usually get all your atoms back plus some

        I oneshot most generic enemies with my industrial hand. Twoshot if it's something especially bulky like a max level super mutant.
        But sometimes I want to use one of the other several cool weapons in the game, like the black powder rifle, 10mm SMG, or the single action revolver, but they're just irreparably shit. The game is clearly centered around certain builds and certain weapons. Everything else becomes worthless bloat the literal second you get the upgrade after it. There is no universe in which a 10mm SMG VATS commando build will ever be able to keep up with a fixer or handmade VATS commando build.

              it doesn't matter. Bethesda makes sandbox games. You shouldn't have to ditch a weapon you like because it massively underperforms. You should be able to upgrade your build until the weapon you like performs well.
              I shouldn't have to use the shitass, ugly as sin fixer to do damage with the VATS commando and rifleman builds. I shouldn't have to use the boring plasma pistol to do damage with a pistol build when the game has cowboy revolvers, blunderbusses, and caplock pistols. Etc.

      Look I have been going through FO1 and 2 and I need to get it off my chest. Fallout was never THAT good, neither FO1 nor FO2 were as good as Diablo but they are solid.

      Bethesda apologists seem to think that older fans are either grumpy or that games prior to FO4 set such an unbelievable high standard that is not worth matching so you might as well enjoy the graphics. But if you ask me the issue is that you could remove the FO skin from those games and they would still suck as we have seen with Starfield. It is not hard to make something as good as Fo2 or NV again, but the fact is that Bethesda is not even going to bother and the series is moving further and further away from what made them original only supported by brand recognition.

      FO4 sucks because it is a bad looter shooter that abandoned the already pseudo RPG mechanics of FO3 and it only gets worse by comparing it to NV, a game that expanded on the role playing side.
      F76 is a laugh. You take gamebryo and try to make it a MMO. Holy shit. FO4 but less of everything and more of a chore simulator. You have plenty of room sure, but nothing in it nor reason to care for it.
      The show is Borderlands, it is just Borderlands but every now and then Amazon Executives interrupt to bring you THE MESSAGE. No one even mentions the troonyhood of Steel for fear of being cancelled, that shit is not right.

    I picked it up after it bombed and was cheap as frick sometime shortly after release. I remembered enjoying the frick out of it, I liked the base building mechanic, and being scared shitless that some dude in power armor came running through my base when I was a noob. I remember killing giant sloths, and grinding some bosses, also ran into my nigguh malseph from tes3mp in hacked gear that wasn't even released yet. Then at some point I think the boss drops were bugging and I got angry and just dropped it. Might come back finally I just transferred into to steam from the Bethesda launcher lol.

          are both in FO76 for free. One you get as part of a quest line, the other set is a rare drop in a daily mission.

          They should've added these to the Fallout 4 next-gen update, instead of the combat armor reskins.

          I will give credit to FO76 for having what I think are some proper "end game" armor sets. The vanilla armor sets in FO4 are so terrible (pic related). They clearly didn't give a shit and left it to their dedicated modding community to make proper end game armor/weapons, which is just pathetic.

    "Hey friends, Julie here. I-I wanted to take a second to talk about something important to me: this radio station. I try not to talk about myself too much, but maybe you've heard me mention it before: I'm only 23, but I've had more than my share of bad times. I-I don't say that to get you to feel sorry for me. I know that so many of you out there have had difficult lives too. Some far, far harder than mine. I say it because I want you to know I can relate. I know what it's like to lose family and friends. To struggle. But there's one thing that always kept me going, always meant something to me. It's this place. This radio station. This music. These songs playing out across the world for everyone to hear...they mean so much to me. They remind me of good times, of people I care about. Things that really matter. They offer...hope.

          I have seen whack a mole games at other people's camps before I think. Also many people have candy bowls and fortune telling machines. Other people's camps are fun. You never know what other things you'll find either. Those two things I mentioned were common but all camps have different things.

    76 would unironically be the best Bethesda Fallout game (besides NV) if the environment/atmosphere wasn’t so fricking bright and cartoony. I get that West Virginia wasn’t hit by nukes, but then why call it Fallout? It’s literally just fortntie with a fallout skin. Exploring a desolate and destroyed world is far more interesting than a map filled with lush trees and plant life. It’s so fricking boring and not fun to explore at all. I legitimately don’t understand when people say 76 has the best map when it dosent feel like Fallout at all. If 76 had a more bleak and depression atmosphere like Fallout 3 it would be the best Bethesda fallout game easily

      76 is refreshing because 4 is what Bethesda thinks a repairing post nuke world looks like. 76 is straight up fricking subdued compared to the bullshit ICON driven design of 4 and even 3.

      I somewhat I agree. I miss the bleak and brutal aesthetic of Fallout 3.

      Some of FO76's world makes sense though. For example, Whitesprings looks pristine and perfect because the robots there were programmed to keep it looking nice and trim, and the robots are still active even without any human involvement. That's just their job, regardless if the humans are wiped out or not, so at least it makes sense why it looks so taken care of.

        Frick outta here you Black folk, F76 is only good because it isnt another grey/green mess like F3/4. If anything F76 having different areas/biomes, whatever, is much more refreshing. Even NV had something other than sand, even if it is a desert

        Did even you leave beyond 'The Forest' of West Virginia? There's like areas that are more apocalyptic and desolate, or even overgrown.
        There's an overgrown swamp area, irradiated hot springs and a ravaged ash field with abandoned mining tunnels and digging equipment. Back on release before settlers and raiders arrived, the place was bleak and depressive as frick.

        3 and 4 look nothing how I would expect a post-apocalyptic world that has been around for hundreds of years to look like.

        I could understand the first and second Fallout games looking ravaged and barely put together.
        But the third and fourth games make no sense..

        >2 marsh biomes
        >2 forest biomes
        >ash biome
        >”snow” biome

        Only two of those are actually interesting to explore. How are there no destroyed cities like Boston and DC? The closest you get is Charleston (literally the size of like megaton at most, not even) and it wasn’t even nuked, just hit by a flood. Especially 25 years after the war, Bethesda actually had the perfect opportunity to make the world way more bleak and desperate like Fallout 3, only it would make way more sense for 76 to have that atmosphere since it’s not 200+ years after the war. 76 and 3/4’s environments and atmosphere should have been switched due to their respective time periods. As it stands, it’s just a boring environment that’s way too green and lush to feel like Fallout.

            Yes. Both those cities aren’t big or destroyed enough to feel like downtown Boston or DC. If they used at least one biome to just be a urban jungle with destroyed buildings/skyscrapers than I would be happy. It’s a shame that they made the game so bright and cartoony cause the lore and world building are actually pretty decent for Bethesda standards

                Yes. If the base game actually had that same vibe/atmosphere as the Pitt or Atlantic City, it would be perfect. Too bad those are limited time areas that you only spend like 15 minutes in. I think part of the reason the atmosphere dosent work is because they brought back NPCs. Before the wastelanders update, the game felt bleak, dead and unsettling since everyone was dead, and the atmosphere was kind of the opposite of that where everything felt more alive. It was a nice balance that I think got ruined when the NPCs came back.

                You can go to those areas without a mission objective and just explore. Not a whole lot to do there if you do that, but it's there.

                >Before the wastelanders update, the game felt bleak, dead and unsettling since everyone was dead, and the atmosphere was kind of the opposite of that where everything felt more alive. It was a nice balance that I think got ruined when the NPCs came back.
                I'm 50/50 on this issue. When Bethesda said "this game will have no NPCs, all interactions you have will be with players, everything that happens is your story!" I was intrigued by it. Kind of a daring thing to try. But people complained enough to where now we have proper questlines and shit. Ok, why not?

                The original plan made sense though. You are from vault 76, you are meant to go out there and re-establish civilization at a foundational level. That's the whole point. Vault 76 was filled with scientist/engineers and the brightest minds. The idea is you are tasked with going out there and building shit and reclaiming the land. The Wastelanders update's NPCs are basically drifters that came to Appalachia and are settling there too... why not? I guess I'm fine with it either way. The people who want to do single player stuff got their wish and it doesn't really effect me all that much. I did some of the quest lines myself and some of the rewards were pretty nifty.

    Fallout fans should be disgusted by this game. Aside for the fact that it is a buggy, crashy, glitchy game with poor performance and an absolutely predatory economy based on total monetization of each and every item for outrageous prizes, the trailer perfectly encapsulates the shift in theme of the game. A perfectly groomed girl dancing like julie andrews in the sound of music, magdumping everywhere while smiling over the tune of "wouldn't it be nice" of the beach boys. It's not about survival, it's not about a nuclear unsettling new world, it's not about role playing, it's simply a mediocre looter shooter with poorly made pop culture references and vague, generic postapocalyptic tropes.

      Funny enough, compared to Fallout 3 and 4, 76 actually feels the most like a “real” fallout game
      >actual unique creatures and lore native to the region, doesn’t completely rely on west coast creatures and lore
      >has a huge trading caravan with its own identity
      >has a diverse map with each region having completely different lore (I personally don’t like the map, but the lore behind it is good
      >actually bothered to explain why bottlecaps are used as currency on the east coast
      >has more skill checks/roleplaying potential then 3 and 4 combined
      >best pipboy in the series that’s a straight call back to Fallout 1/2

      If the map felt more post-apocalyptic and less cartoony, I would unironically say it’s the best Fallout game Bethesda made

    I think during Wastelanders it peaked and its been going slightly downhill
    what killed the game for me was their puzzling decision to not add proper new weapons since 2022 or so.

    apart from the Incinerator, we got zero new ballistic/heavy/energy weapons in the last 2.5 years or so and Fallout 4 has more than 10 weapons they could've added. they also killed trading by allowing you to roll for legendaries for specific weapons. doesnt really help that last three major patches, Pitt and AC 1&2, were just glorified DOPS with AC obv being a bit better thanks to proper content

    I understand they pulled the game off the grave around 2022 or so and am excited to see where it goes in the next 12-24 months, but the fact that
    >again, they added zero new ranged weapons in the last 2.5 years AND zero new ballistic guns since launch
    >never balanced all those useless affixes
    >never balanced worthless rewards from many events and dailies
    etc are just baffling. like they keep adding fcking masks and plans to seasonal events that last for 2 weeks, latest 7-8 public events have 15-16 "unique" weapons but there is literally no reason to do pre-Wastelanders content anymore

    its the single most mismanaged game I've ever seen
