25 ish USD

Same offer for Europe/Middle East, 22.79€ :eek:
I'll maybe consider installing it once it inevitably goes f2p to look at a few set pieces.

Jeezus Christ, that animation. I mean, in Fallout 4, ferals at least looked scary, they would charge at you screaming and fling themselves at you and fall on the floor. This guy looks like a 65 year old with constipation trying to do a Latin dance after half an hour of lessons.

It's like the theme of 76 is "the same as Fallout 4, except we made a lot of stuff worse".

Everything in 76 has this horrible janky pathfinding. Like if you go up some stairs, Fog Crawlers (why they're in West Virginia instead of a foggy island in Maine I dunno) will just path away because they can't do stairs.

Because mountains produce fog from precipitation and cooler air being trapped at base elevations and meeting a different temperature

I have found fog crawlers in the ash heap. They should have been only in the Bog and Mire.

There are a number of new enemies that I found not mind seeing in future Fallouts still like Wendigos and honey beasts.

my guess is the bottom floor price will be 19.99 or so unless they try to pull a F2P type deal.

Was doing the DMV quest, and I heard something behind me and it was some guy in power armor. I shot him thinking he was a ghoul and he didn't attack me right away. Then like 5 minutes go by and he kills me from behind. Melee hits like a truck in this game, it was literally only 2 hits with 20% dmg reduction with lone wanderer and 30% damage reduction from suppressor. No amount of stimpacks would heal that fast enough. I got him a few times from the stagger with shotguns but melee hits really loving hard.

Also the DMV quest was awesome.

There was a DMV quest? I got some tickets but no matter what I did I couldn't get the queue bots to accept me, even when my correct number was called. But every number call brought like 100 newly spawned ghouls to my location!

I smoked some weed and got lost in the Poseidon Power Plant for like 30 minutes. That place is a goddamn maze. I went there to do an event but someone ended up doing it while I was wandering around inside. I thought I found the exit but I actually found the cooling towers and I almost died because it hurts you in there. Eventually I fast traveled out.

Odds are they made this to reach some kind of sales target for the year and uh, I don't think they're going to hit it. It might lower a stock value and piss off some investors, but other than Rage 2, I don't know of any projects likely to be cancelled over it.

The giant bats use the same animation rig of dragons in Skyrim; it's really obvious when they're on the ground. They also have reskinned dragon attack abilities except for the sonic screech attack, which is a resized instance of the mirelurk king sonic attack from 4.

The whole thing feels more or less like an in-studio asset flip so I don't imagine it cost a ton to make in comparison to a full narrative Fallout sequel. I'm assuming they've got modest expectations though I feel like they may not even hit that.

the nov 19th waypoint radio episode with rob and austin calmly breaking down all the ways fallout 76 fucks up not just within it's own space but how it also fucks up the fundamental thesis of the series in pursuit of allowing players to not have to confront what would be an interesting narrative of the vault dwellers being basically jumpsuited fascists commanding the survivors to obey them or die is extremely loving good

Yes. Every game dev studio re purposes and reuses animations and assets when and where they can to cut down the cost of making things from scratch that they don't need to. It's not some wild new sin.
