    Having seen how games where you can kill on sight against other people tend to play out, I’m curious if they can make it work.

    I can’t imagine how mad I’d be if i built a homestead only to have it wrecked over and over again by random teenagers.

    one day IGN says the nuke explosion in 4k is outstanding, following it up the next day saying the graphics suck.

    Watched video 1. Seems like it’s gonna need a lot of work, but that was expected

    Still think it’s gonna be a fun play

    Also think RD2 will be the better game, but I’ll probably play this more because I love the fallout world.

    Gonna be busy with both though

    I don’t understand why Bethesda has allowed so much access to this game and so much early footage. This shit looks embarrassing and the complaints about the mechanics, inventory management, outdated engine etc just glare in every vid I watch.

    If I still played video games I wouldn’t waste my money on this. It looks like a FO4 mod with tacked on multiplayer that they didn’t even bother to optimize for a better experience. What a trash heap this is gonna be.

    Well

    1. We already knew the engine wasnt changing
    2. What of that hasnt also been true for any of these types of games at this point in their existence. At least bethesda is like "here's what we have. Help us fix it."

    Youre a fucking idiot

    Does it look to you like theyre replacing their single player games with this? No. This is nothing but them doing something they already have most of the assets for while they finish up the new engine so people like TrustyPatches have less to bitch about when TES 6 and Starfield come out.

    So then you're saying this game is just a cash grab? This started back in 2014 when they put out Elder Scrolls online. They used to put out amazing games every year or every other year

    Oblivion - 2006
    Fallout 3 - 2008
    New Vegas - 2010
    Skyrim - 2011

    Since 2011 we've got Fallout 4 but they've managed to put out 2 online games in Elder Scrolls Online and now this.

    Yes, it is a cash grab. Theyve made it very clear theyre working on a new engine and dont want to release another major BGS title until its done.

    ESO was not made by BGS, so that wouldnt have taken time away from their development of anything.

    Fallout 76 isnt a problem. Its a game many will enjoy. Things like Blades, Skyrim ports, and VR have been the problem with them getting more games out. Even then most of the internet would be livid if TES 6 had released this/next year with the same engine. Let them finish that, its clearly their biggest priority.

    Skyrim (new engine) - 2011
    Fallout 4 - 2015
    Fallout 76 - 2018

    Sure its time for another single player game, but wouldnt you rather they do some multiplayer something in 2018 than force another single player game, for which they are most famous, into this trash engine?

    There is literally no reason 76 cant be good.

    I'd love another game like New Vegas with the same engine. These games are great because of their stories, not because of the graphics or fight engine. Fallout 4 was mediocre because the story was bland not because the game was super buggy when it was released.

    They didnt do new vegas and microsoft is buying obsidian.

    Fallout 4 story was fine. Not good, but fine. Kinda dumb, but fine. Any questline beyond that one and a couple of others were boring and mostly radiant questing. And trying to force base building to be necessary was weird and poorly executed.

    Lets be real, Skyrim kinda sucks too. They havent made anything actually good since Fallout 3 and it had problems too. Map layout was a disaster, minimal side quests, and everything was a shade of brown or green.

    The original, yes. The PS4 version, not even close. All the mods were like kryptonite for my ADHD. I'd start it up, get like 2 missions in and then spend 2 hours building shit or complete sets of every armor and weapon in the game to display.

    Hopefully it doesn't exist in 2019 so studios stop thinking they have to make an online version of every game. This already happened in sports franchises like FIFA and why they pump out a COD every year with some recycled one player story line.

    I dont understand your argument.

    To counter games only lasting 1 year you hope fallout lasts less than a year?

    Yes, because I don't wan them putting out a new online fallout every year with a 10-15 hour one player campaign because its profitable. Game designers have figured out idiots will just shell out a shitload of cash to walk around and shoot each other in different venues with marginally different weapons and that they don't have to build a compelling story anymore to make money. Its ruining gaming.

    You're missing the point. If Fallout 76 is wildly successful and makes them a ton of money what do you think their business model will be going forward? Putting in a ton of money to create an entirely new single player experience with 100+ hours of original content or just tweak the existing game and give it cosmetic facelift and put it out online so 14 year olds can shoot their buddies with a mini-nuke.
