This is the other thing that low-key disappoints me about FO:76. There is so much potential neat stuff you could do in a West Virginia-based Fallout games, and none of it is going to happen even if FO:76 doesn't completely flop.

E: So who's one of the the more tolerable FO:76 streamers that everyone's watching?

Never mind that, you need to see if you can find any old men, armed to the teeth with dynamite.

It’s actually really cool and Obsidian clearly put a loving amount of effort into recreating the town. They get tourists from around the world daily because of the game.

They also have a gigantic liquor selection, including the latest whiskey releases and Las Vegas Distillery moonshine.

This i literally a bog-standard MMORPG with fetch&kill quests, "events", freezing/lags and "BoobyV" and "MrPimpin" teabagging the non-moving enemy you just pipe-pistoled to death.

Impressive, it's already sinking in for streamers that the AI is poo poo and that it freezes a lot, and that the graphics are bad

I haven’t run into t-posing enemies yet (if anything, the critters I’ve run into were a little too aggressive), so I can’t comment on that part.

I dunno, I played for like an hour and it’s better than I thought it would be. It’s 100% what people thought - Fallout 4 but maximizing the exploration, combat, gathering and crafting and ditching most of the story. I enjoyed most of that stuff before so I wasn’t coming out of the gate hating the idea. There seems to be more storytelling baked into the world than I initially thought there would be, and a decent amount of VO from audio logs, etc. sprinkled around.

I think there’s the framework of a good idea here. Seems like lots of content is busted though, so who knows if they can release in a state that delivers on the potential.

Oh, and the multiplayer is only really jarring in the first bit when you’re bunched up coming out of the vault. After that, being around other people got more infrequent as we spread out naturally. I can see how it might get to that spot where the multiplayer element might become interesting without feeling like a shoehorned mmo.

Game companies and publishers doesn't bribe people, no what they like to do is threaten people and media that they'll blacklist them if they don't find their entertainment "favorable." That IS something that is well documented of happening.

I found a rifle in an abandoned cabin like 2 minutes away from the vault and one of the first quests is to build a weapon (I had the mats for a pipe gun by the time I got to the first crafting location), so I have no idea why.

It's literally the first day of beta, so a bunch of people are probably just farting around and trying to find broken poo poo. I'm not excusing the broken poo poo, I'm just saying that there's a selection effect to a certain extent.

Lol, this is great. This is exactly the kind of stuff that you need a proper in-house beta for, this kind of "oh, lol how the gently caress did we miss that" stuff should never make it to actual players.

E: Streamer just now: "Yeah I'm having fun. I wouldn't call it game of the year exactly, but it's a game I'll have fun playing."

That's what you say for a game that you play casually for a couple months because it's the newest game you just bought. Then you move on to the next newest game (Red Dead Redemption 2, for example) and end up never touching the old game again. It's not even that uncommon for a lot of games on Steam.

But uh, FO:76 isn't on Steam. Hmm, now who was the loving genius who decided that one?

Nah, you can be. They just do reduced damage unless you fight back. If you don't fight back, then they are labeled a murderer. They become a red star on the map and lose the ability to see other players on the map. Killing a murderer pays out a bounty from the murderer's caps. So, you can still grief people if you want to, but then you become a target.

I'm replaying FO4 and it's never going to be fixed, I don't know how difficult it would be for shadows to work properly on gun muzzle attachments but apparently it's beyond the abilities of Bethesda's finest computer artistes

Also I'm playing survival mode and I slept in a sleeping bag and when I woke up Dogmeat clipped through the floor and fell into a 4 story building and there's no way to stimpack him because there's no way in to get to him, and every time I reload he clips in again

bleeding damage working on robots isn't new, it's how the ability works in FO4 too and it's not like they couldn't do anything about it because certain legendary creatures at really high levels are immune to bleeding
