Practically no one I know plays this game except 1 guy. I asked it how it was and he said it was shit. He didn't even get into details. It was clearly angering him to even talk about it. Was it really THAT bad?

I watched various videos last night from people that played the beta and a general consensus was that it felt too much like Fallout 4 and that the world was lifeless and a few people said that having other players around actually ruined immersion and was more of an annoyance than a help.

The beta I played was extremely underwhelming. I played several servers and saw very few other people. Every quest was a shitty fetch quest. And nothing I've done so far feels rewarding.

The times beta thing is fucking annoying too. I work many hours so I wont be able to play much of it.

The few players I did encounter were either hostile and it devolves into a death battle with no real reason, since you get nothing but a pittance for collecting a bounty. And then players would seem to randomly disappear forever when they entered a loading zone. Also the ability to grief people is supreme. You can block a bench so they cant use it unless they kill you which gets them a bounty people can collect if they want a tiny bit of extra money. Or you can door block and shit to piss people off.

The game looks like shit too. I know it's best to not expect a lot from bethesda, but it looks very unpolished. Assets clip through everything. Fucked up physics. Armor not fitting properly on characters. Draw distance and pop in of about 6 feet.things you can probably attribute to the game engine from 1430.

That's crazy. I never played Fallout because U was never interested in the series but, based on reputation, the games have always been heard in high regard. It's crazy how it can turn shit all of a sudden.

Eh it's not that crazy, I mean I don't think anyone was really asking or even expecting this and it's completely counter to what Fallout used to be and the whole "open world survival FPS" genre has been saturated for a few years now and it doesn't really bring anything new to the table so... Like the only reason it *could* have been popular is because of the IP, but I'm glad people are realizing that it doesn't have to be popular just because of that one factor.

Doesn't help that not only did Bethesda ruin the SPECIAL system and skills, they're also forcing people onto their own proprietary software client and the beta's had some really rough bugs (like the one where people's game was getting deleted from the hard drive...).

I think people are used to glitches in betas, but stuff that serious and stupid is fairly rare.

I had one really annoying constant glitch where trying to accept a trade would kick me out of the menu constantly. That was almost game breaking for me.

That and one time I was able to fly around crouched on one knee.

You can change a setting in the games .ini file so you can move super fast, as fast as your pc can handle - in an online multiplayer game

the launcher has a bug where sometimes if you click any buttons it will delete the whole beta

Every single new thing said about this game made me want it less. But maybe the game itself was somehow good? According to every gameplay video it is just as bad as it always sounded. And since they wont let you mod for a year it wont be fixed until late 2019 or 2020. So yeah they done fucked up.

Every impression I'm getting is that Fallout 76 is like the worst aspects of Fallout 4 amped up by 11.

Too many fetch quests? Now the game is nothing but fetch quests!

Less than stellar story? Now there's no story at all and there's no NPCs either!

Too much emphasis on settlement building? Now that's the entire purpose of this game!

Conceptually, this was a bad idea and it seems like the execution is even worse.

As soon as I heard it was multiplayer only I knew it'd be a bug riddled disappointing mess.

Hopefully the success of games like God of War and RDR2 will put the thought back into Bethesda's head that single player games are still worth investing in.

76 will be forgotten by March
