Oh.
I'll be playing on PC... But I might get it on PS4 if the framerate isn't too bad and if I can talk my friends into getting it. Most of my friends own PS4s and no PCs.

Aside from the retconning of the lore and axing of various RPG elements, I do wonder how it'll be from a co-op perspective. Being fans of the Fallout series since Fallout, my friend and I might be hesitant about Fallout 76 but if it at least offer a solid co-op experience, we might cave-in.

it's not a beta. it's just timed early access.

with the way bethesda is doing this, you get to play a few hours every few days until release, coupled with the weird times means it's not stressing anything, and no one is going to find any glitches.

it's early access. period.

I think people are calling it a beta because that's what Bethesda was calling it...

But I do think that if they wanted to do a stress test, they could do it like Nintendo. Release a downloadable demo that would work for the times they put. But whatever...

Its a good thing theyre doing this early though because they totally screwed the pooch with PC players today and a lot of people that had the game downloaded and ready to go had to redownload it at the last minute because the bethesda launcher just broke

Theyre extending the beta by 4 hours on Thursday though, so thats cool

Yes. Although I preordered and cancelled awhile ago and I still gained access. Shame I can't gift it as I have no real internet in Fallout 76 a this point.

So how was it Mead? Me and my friends are getting it for the PC but none of us bothered pre-ordering it yet. We have just too many games to play already right now. Waiting to see how the reviews are etc, but if enough people like it, we'll get it at launch.

Had a blast, but the game is not without its flaws

For the most part it feels like fallout 4 with some other players scattered into the world. The first time I came across a ghoul I actually thought it was another player until I got closer.

In some areas though the respawn rate of enemies seems a little too quick, so I occasionally felt pressured to loot areas really quickly to avoid fighting the same enemies again. There always seemed to be at least one other player around when this happened so maybe the enemies were respawning as someone else approached idk

After leaving the vault players were all over the place and the first area felt like an mmo in a lot of ways with players basically taking turns to use workbenches and go after quest targets. The longer I played the less players I saw though, everyone kinda spread out to go after different objectives.

I did a group event quest at one point with no one else around, I gave it a shot and was able to complete it. Ive heard some of them really require at least a few people though

No one will believe this but I actually encountered some bugs while playing. Twice I encountered ghouls that fully rendered but didnt animate at all. They basically stood motionless with outstretched arms like some kind of scarecrow action figures while still being able to move around and attack, all while still appearing like statues, it was hilariously terrifying.

At another point I had a feral dog not render correctly and its model was all stretched out and wonky. It could attack me but I couldnt target it at all manually or with VATS so I had to run away. There was another dog that I killed and its body clipped through the ground, but no worries when I approached it I clipped through the ground too so I was able to get the valuable dog steaks.

Oh and VATS is really weird now in real time. One big change for me is that activating VATS uses some AP even if you dont fire a shot. The thing is though is that you expend this AP even if there isnt anything to be targeted. So if youre like me and in past games have used VATS to check if any enemies were targetable nearby, you have to manage it carefully so you arent draining all your action points.

Hmmm interesting, and thanks for the info.

Nobody is going to have a hard time believing there are bugs, it's pretty much standard *sigh* with all game releases now adays.

Main reason for me to get it is to play with my friends, as I have still not gotten very far in Fallout 4 (I own all the DLC as well and have never played it). I keep trying to get back into it, but I can't get past the start again (I just get too bored) and I hate playing old saves.

But, I love playing fallout (the past games all of them) and love playing games with my friends (we just played 7 days to die all day), so I figure this will be worth it just because it's fallout I can play with them. Really wish I could get into/past the early part of fallout 4...i may give it a try again, but I really wanna play Dark Souls 3 now that I FINALLY got the DLC (it was on sale for the first time ever 50% off on steam...finally). Me and my friends are all going ot play that together I think.

But yeah, I'm probably gonna give 76 a shot no matter what, just as it's the first time we will be able to play in the fallout universe as a group. There may be bugs (shrug there probably will be bugs) but I mean, there was bugs when fallout 3 launched and especially (tons) of them for New Vegas, and I loved both games a ton.

Fallout 4......just...felt like it ditched the RPG aspects too much and became a FPS with some RTS/City building whatever aspects. It didn't grab me like the others.

Anyway, man we are all up so late lol!! Thanks mead for the info:)
