if fallout 76 was incredible 10/10 mindmelting I'd love it if fallout 76 came out and it was mediocre but did some things right, it would be a milquetoast blip in the years games, too boring to watch, not exciting enough to play. if fallout 76 was just an abysmal failure in every way I would love to watch the bethesda cash fire. I want it to be either really good or really bad. I dont have time for this "middling" poo poo.

played it with friends wandered around and killed stuff, got some loot, crafted some gear I don't think this gameplay loop is very fun. we went and claimed the giant mining base and then the workshop menu to build a base opened which made us collectively groan. then the event popped up "your base is under immanent attack!" one ghoul spawned, we killed it, and the event ended. at that point we logged off. we killed tons of boss level enemies level 20-40 without any of them doing very much or dropping anything worth using. one of the minermans dropped a missile launcher but I couldn't use it until level 30 which wasn't gonna happen, oh well. to use a wooden cane requires level 10. what's the point in level gating this stuff? none of this game feels very thought out, "it's fun with friends" isn't an excuse when "just sitting in discord" is fun with friends and doesn't cost $60

is there anything we haven't seen yet that's going to be in the full game? Because it really sounds like the whole game is in the beta, idk how you top cryptids and space stations. you preorder folks should be thankful you got to experience the entire game for free and can safely refund!

has anyone died or fought anything challenging (not counting glitches or fiddling around with menus) e: ok real complaint that isn't "the game as a whole is not fun" the reach of 2h melee weapons feels way too short. I wasn't able to spear people with a pitchfork unless i was adjacent to them.

KaiserSchnitzel posted:It's $60; you either have it to spend or you don't. You'll get your money's worth out of it, though. I get the feeling that it will get to be a better game about a month into the game and I'd hold off until then if you're REALLY concerned about spending $60 on a new AAA video game. you gain nothing by buying at launch other than paying to test the game for future purchasers if the recent revelations are any indication it's going to be a rocky rear end launch

Fuzzykins posted:Is it though? Once it goes into your stash it's just two numbers isn't it? One of which is mandatory to identify the item. Does it matter if the other item is 005 or 100 or 999? Sure, perhaps a couple of bits depending how large you let the number become, but only times the amount of unique items you can put in your stash. Each item has quantity, weight, type of item, icon, etc that has to be indexed and sortable. Each item generates its own pane in a scrollable window that updates based on user selections. Removing an item resorts the user and stash inventory (expensive if done badly) Ive made one of these for my own projects and theyre easy to make poorly. Now add in network delays - you need to verify the player put in an item they say they did, etc and it balloons out of control fast. That being said, i dont know why 400 was their arbitrary limit. 500 probably wouldnt have much of an impact either. Someone find 400 different items and jam em in there please tell me what happens

GI_Clutch posted:Bethesda responded to IGN's story about the guy's claims and mentioned there were some valid concerns brought up, but some of the claims were bogus. Some dude ran some tests of his own today during the beta and found that the game is using TLS for encryption. The guy restarted his client post patch and was suddenly getting encrypted udp, i wouldnt be surprised if it was unencrypted for previous betas to allow easy maintenance and testing (connection issues are the day1 kiss of death) but patched in their security when the post ended up being a big deal. Tldr its entirely likely both posters were correct

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:So putting aside the doom and gloom from fanboys nerdrage, what's the option of people who actually played it? is it mostly being played as co-op fallout loot hoarding simulator with a new environment to explore or is there a lot of PvP to be had when you come across other groups? has anyone come across obvious cheaters or is it largely overblown? No pvp, looting is in service of basebuilding and exploring. If you like fallout 4 exploring and want to do it with friends this is the game for you. If you want story or fun shooting do not play it, this is not what youre looking for. It has more in common with no mans sky type exploration than destiny if that makes sense? Also no people wont be able to add human npcs, thats some neat wishful thinking though lol. If only

Tei posted:Many games do this o consoles. I think is because the backend is probably written in COBOL and is horrible primitive and fail if you look at it funny. So creating a new SKU is a simpler way to do it. It is 100% because they are multiple listed entities in their backend server. Player A owns beta access which allows download A. Player B owns the game which allows download B.

If 76 doesnt have server issues day on one hand thats great, on the other hand that might read as 'no one bought this'. Similar to stock earnings reports, hitting exactly expected isn't great news.

Im hearing differing accounts on whether the launcher version is actually patched. Stash size 400 is confirmed, many of the same issues confirmed. Apparently a mini update just changed the file version from beta to launch. Will there be a day one patch that hasnt been pushed? Find out next time

Mr Hootington posted:The best part of the gently caress up of the launch is instead of turning off the servers and going "sorry sorry" or leaning in and opening the game for everyone, they just left it open to PC and are making consoles wait. Is it the worst decision? Could be. Could be. Bethesda doesnt hold the keys to console servers, thats on sony and microsoft. Two companies who are slightly more competent

Stokes posted:A lot of people (aka reddit, stupid metacritic reviews) are still treating this like a single player fallout game and are constantly bitching about the stash size, but they just can't seem to resist picking up that desk fan and oh look there's a typewriter over there and there's a back up gun for the back up gun of my back up gun and oh look there's a blunderbuss and hey I think I'll take that mr guts robot arm for the steel. Ahh, so the way they want to play is not legitimate and should be discouraged? The previous game heavily promoted junk hoarding, and this one does the same, except doesn't have the megaflops to support it lol

SolidSnakesBandana posted:The previous games definitely have weight management. I know this because it's the first thing I mod out. And yeah, people can totally play games the wrong way, what a silly notion. For instance, I knew a guy who beat Batman Arkham Asylum by just mashing punch for every single fight. Didn't upgrade a god drat thing. That person was wrong as hell. Idk what your last part has to do with anything. Fallout 4 was a game that revolved around storing junk and collecting garbage. It made a whole base building minigame out of it and tied junk collecting into item upgrades. Fallout 76 has the same framework of the camp system and item upgrades except you cant store enough junk. They've trained people to pick up everything valuable, but now they should discourage it because? While Im sure there are some legitimate technical limitations, I think keeping the stash size small is meant to keep people constantly hungry for items. It keeps people on the junk treadmill and keeps them playing the game, at the cost of being hated pretty universally.

Its opportunity cost. Thats 20 hours you didnt spend with your family, or taking a walk, or playing any of the great games released this month or in the last 20 years. You could play anything, and instead you picked the 76th fallout lol Double lol at the people playing it solo, so youre not even utilizing the gimmick. Wow classic should be out soon for much cheaper, thats a good way to get your bear rear end fixation cured
