They are totally abandoning this game as soon as they release.

They'll probably go free to play and try to micro-transaction the gently caress out of it first.

Well, yea.

I should not have deleted my BETA install. I feel some irrational remorse there just in case this is the first phase of yet another epic fail.


Game is fun, the hilarious bugs are hilarious if they dont' get in the way, and hopefully we will find some exploitable one to have billions of XP or billions of caps.


Akumos posted:

I don't think everything is client-side, seems like loot still has to be loaded from servers on containers and vendors but not 100% sure how that works. Would be curious to know if shooting players is client side, if it is people can just intentionally d/c themselves, shoot someone 10 times, then reconnect and they would die.
I'm just sayin

If it walks like incompetence and it smells like incompetence and it quacks like incompetence........

If the game has a low amount of players you could easily play it as a single player fallout. You could claim a base and get a huge income of scrap and no one would be coming to steal it from you.

Or there could be godmode griefers that jump around session to session just to gently caress your poo poo up like GTA

I'm guessing this isn't selling too well. All the CD Key reseller's are selling the game for 45 to 55% off. That's unheard of. They usually raise prices after launch.


Game is bad

It's not that it's bad. It's just wrong.

It's marketed as "Fallout, but multiplayer!, finished game, $60!" when it's really just an early access fallout-skinned Rust.

If it was $20 and marked as early access, people would probably be okay with the jank and bugs and the lack of content. It was sold and hyped as a finished AAA game, which it is not.

The best thing about Fallout 76 is all the money Feargus Urquhart isn't getting from it.

The worst thing is all the money Bethesda isn't getting from it

because nobody is buying it

Also Feargus prob just got a huge gently caress-off payday from microsoft, so he wins.

What really bugs me is it was only announced 6 months ago.

Like they had to know it wasn't going to be ready in 6 months.

What exactly did they have in their hands 6 months ago to say "yup, this is going to be a $60 product in 6 months"?

It just feels like pure cynical greed.

Stash Limit Increase: We hear you loud and clear. We will be increasing the stash limit in the coming weeks. The current limit is there for technical reasons, to cap the number of items the game is tracking in the world, including every container and stash. We believe we have some ideas in both the short- and long-term that will address the size without risking stability, but this is one we need to take our time on to make sure it is done right.

Seeing the trainwreck this game became was a ton of free entertainment as well, and there's still more to come when we see how brazenly they try to dig their hands deeper into the pockets of owners.

Maybe they've pioneered an amazing new business model of weeding out the non-whales by putting out a garbage game. It turns out the trick of turning more than 3% of players into payers is to drive away people with sense.

I understand people enjoying their time with the game and arguing from that position, especially on PC, because a lot of the jank can be brute forced with expensive hardware. I pity the console players though without the expensive 4k/pro consoles, because this just looks sad:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09nYeO1lQiQ

their frame-time measurement tool actually couldn't get readings from the game for some moments because of the hitching and frame stutters. Digital Foundry are legit and even they're dunking on it

14fps is more cinematic anyways

It'll probably do okay initially because they spent twice as much marketing it as they did making the game. There have been commercials all over hockey games and stuff that Show a bunch of live-action CGI stuff, and it's as shameless as those lovely phone game ads.
