The game got way better two years ago, and it continues to grow and get updates.
I’d love to play it, but I can’t get behind paid for server access. I don’t see why I can’t local host it for whew two people in my life I would play with.
I tried it when I used the gamepass trial and it simply doesn’t feel like Fallout to me. And sure the show helped a little but the numbers aren’t even that high and already dropping. With it’s disastrous release and old tech it will never be a big thing anyway.
Kind of a shame Bethesda slept on the show so hard they’re opting for a cheap and quick Fortnite collaboration now to make at least some money from the hype before the show concludes in a couple years. Because they won‘t have anything ready by then either.
Bethesda had to sabotage Fallout 4 in order to steer folks towards 76. If Fallout 4 worked with mods at that time, 76 wouldn’t have gotten as much traction.
That’s why I set up FO4 with mods ahead of time.
Fallout 4 is the better game. Have fun with your live service game, everyone.
Better than 76 but not the best Fallout game
No offense to anyone who enjoys them, but I’m so sick of the “[bad] game is good now!” narrative. Fallout 76 is a six year-old game, and was in development for several years before that. In the context of game reviews (which I care about), Release Date is important, it’s when it has the most exposure, the most sales, and when review embargos end. So if you can’t have your game fully-completed by then, you probably shouldn’t release a half-finished, buggy game. Right?
Games like No Man’s Sky, Cyberpunk 2077, and others might literally be better now than at launch… But what are we supposed to do, have reviews regularly updated to match the current state of a game? Actually, I would like that, if games journalists could do this. But until then, the game needs to be fully completed on launch, or suffer your permanent bad score…
I paid a few bucks more to NOT get 76 in the bundle.
I’m just waiting for cross progression to play again. I’m not fucking grinding everything again nor am I going to rebuild my wonderful little house. Fortunately, both Phil Spencer is also peeved by it and Todd Howard said it’s up to the team if they are annoyed enough to go ahead with it.
I’d 100% start playing again so I could play on my pc with my gf on ps5. For now though we’re fine with her playing through fo4 on the Playstation while I do my billionth new vegas run
