It is important to remember that these are the same people who responded to criticism of the horse armor in Skyrim by putting a horse armor skin in Fallout 4's creation club. It was meant to be tongue in cheek, but I'm beginning to suspect they meant it as a gently caress you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76FilthyCasuals

That's right, now that r/fo76 has been compromised by people critically looking at the game filthy haters, a new subreddit has been spawned that is finally getting away from the negativity surrounding this game.

I legit don't think you could make a consumer better than modern gamers.




Just a couple comments from a spiritual leader!
First. I love that in a semi-rant post I made, a subreddit idea was hatched and in a couple hours it was made and there are 300 people in here. Awesome.

Second. I in no way intent to be a leader. I am, after all, a filthy casual. I didn't start this or suggest it, but I still think it is amazing.

But, I do have some suggestions for direction.

First: A filthy casual is a self-implied title. you don't have to be a certain age or married or whatever. You just have to be a "less" serious member of the gaming community. A person less concerned with maximizing every aspect of the game. It doesn't mean you don't want cool stuff or to have a good time. It just means you aren't spending every waking moment on a spreadsheet calculating maximum DPS for each of your weapons with each perk card...

A person that simply enjoys playing but doesn't make the game the central feature of their life.

Second: post all the drat memes you want. why not? we play for fun.

Third: Talk strategy and events and give tips. why not? yes we are casuals, but a lot of time it is because we are time limited. Getting a good tip on how to maximize our hour of free time tonight could be real helpful.

Fourth: I see this has already started, and I love it, but be a community! this is a place for casual hookups (giggity) in gaming. A place to find some chill people to wander the wasteland with and not stress about needing to be level 225 with a 5* super rocket sledge of death and maxed out X01 armor...

Fallout 76 seems like what happens when every single person at a company lied on their resume to get the job.

"Do you know how to make a support website?"
"Yeah, of course, do you know how to make an online game?"
"oh yeah, totally"
"well, good chat"

No, man. I know exactly what I'm doing. I just don't know what effect it's going to have. Over there controls power armor. That monitor has readouts on the script debugger. That big button there makes a crazy noise. Skyrim Dragons come out of that slot if you put click on it. And I'm learning more every day. I push buttons. I turn dials. I read numbers. Sometimes I make up little stories in my head about what the numbers mean.

But the servers outside aren't configured right, so we're running at one percent stash space. And I guess that just isn't good enough for some assholes.

Todd actually hired his high school buddies to be around the same rank Bethesda wigs as himself. Whatever makes the ruling clic/management happy is how it goes, no matter how dumb the idea is or how incompetent the staff actually is collectively.

At this point even if I enjoyed the game I would uninstall it, because the only way they could possibly gently caress it up more from here is if they made it actually damage your computer in some way.

Up until now, everything so far could be explained by some corpulent executive forcing the game out the door early. But, this bit about leaking personal information? Uh-uh. This goes beyond mere stupidity. I honestly think that Bethesda has one or more disgruntled employees actively trying to sabotage the company.

It's pretty clear as mud what has happened.

Bethesda has been funded by Robert Trump, Donald Trump's brother, for decades. To really understand fallout 76 you have to understand what led to the 2016 presidential election.

Donald Trump spent the 70s and 80s burning thru his father's money, building vanity projects in place of the love he could never get from his father.

By the 90s he'd swindled every lender in the United States and owed billions. The government was after him, and the jig was nearly up on his sham wealth. Then he met some Russian oligarchs who couldn't clean their money (mostly made off drug production in DPRK), who proposed to pay his debts if he would use their money in his failing properties. It was perfect, really. Trump could look more successful than he was, and the oligarchs would all be given shares of his properties and luxurious homes around the world. Little known fact, Golf courses and casinos are the number one and two money laundering scam operations.

Before long Trump's entire family was laundering Russian money, and the burgeoning video game market was a fitting mark.

Really it's plain as day, all the daddy issues in Fallout 3 and 4. That's how deep this goes.

Underappreciated post. But at least the meal will leave me satisfied for a couple of hours before turning to poo poo.

I'm real mad at myself for pre-ordering this thing, I never pre-order and apart from like maybe three titles over the last decade, I never buy games anywhere near release. I thought this was a super easy buy after spending hundreds of hours in fo4, I seriously did not anticipate this train wreck. Like I'm not even waiting for patches now, I uninstalled it because I don't think Bethesda are capable of fixing it.

I bought this after seeing it on sale for $35 and not having seen this thread or any reviews, I was just “sweet, new game on sale for Black Friday” Even I’m pissed I wasted that much money.

Thankfully I hosed my shoulder up and can’t use a mouse right now or I’d probably be playing it and hating myself the entire time.

E: I almost bought this as a birthday present for a friend so we could gently caress around together. i only didn't buy it for him because he said he was too busy to play right now.

This is legitimately insane. This is Hindenberg gaming. Bethesda have finally poo poo the bed so hard that they're gonna have to change whether they want to or not.

That "I don't care" post is loving disgusting.

Same type of thinking idiots use for minimizing racism and sexism. "Hey it doesn't happen to me or bother me so it's not important"

Bethesda's probably reading that post and thinking "good, idiots will still buy our poo poo no matter what AND defend their bad decision to purchase it".

Like you can't even say that buying this game is a good idea when there's a high chance it will either gently caress up your personal data by either deleting it or spreading it over the internet. But of course some idiot will come along and say "Well I don't mind if my info gets leaked, because I don't use my info for anything anyways, I got a wife and kids now!", like that somehow absolves Bethesda of any wrongdoings.

I played Fallout 4 for a few days, but I have returned to Fallout 76. I don't know why, I think is the feel that theres people in the world, in Fallout 4 you will never meet another human being, but in Fallout 76 theres the other players that you can see in the map and are always doing something. Something inside me want to be in the place with people, and not in the place alone (Fallout 4).

Objetivelly I don't have anything to do in Fallout76 (I already did everything), so I just walk around mussing and bingewatching tv series on the laptop.
