Don't remember, are any of the dlc comfortably doable right out of the gate?

Todd Howard said straight-up he wants the players to break the game as much as possible early after launch.

We're basically getting an early-access triple-A game here. If you know what you're getting into (like me) then go for it. Otherwise, you can always hold off until they patch the major problems.

For me I'm willing to put up with even game-breaking jank just to play a fallout bethesda game with pals.

I bought No Man's Sky on launch knowing what I was getting into

As much of a trainwreck as this game is, I think they did really well with the soundtrack. Inon Zur is very talented, and the Copilot cover is great.

The Copilot cover starts with the opening notes of The Ink Spots’ “Maybe” instead of whatever John Denver did

I'm just glad they wasted their appalachian (mis)adventure in west virginia instead of NC. Asheville's name is perfect for an apocalypse, and there's a Black Mountain too for Tabitha to come back to the airwaves from. There was also a post-apocalypse book based in Black Mountain where a high-altitude burst knocked the US back into the 19th century, then a raider army of cannibal ex-cons attacked the town, so they could work that in. They could have had some doomsday cult evangelist living out of Billy Graham's old place trying to kick off the rapture for real.

They would never reference New Vegas in this game

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the Pip Boy. War never changes. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.

loving. Shut. Up.

I can't watch any of my gaming related YouTube channels without cringing because everyone has to include some kind of memey dig at 76.

I can't visit my regular gaming related subreddits because "lolol this is what would happen if Bethesda designed this scene/game/world".

My coworkers talk poo poo about 76 when discussing other games entirely.

Every other god drat article I scroll by when looking for gaming news is "Why Fallout 76 is a Bad Game".

EVERY top ten worst games list has Fallout 76 at the top, along with a diatribe that just says it's a bad game without going into why it's a bad game, even if other games on the list were objectively worse.

It's exhausting. Even with the problems it had at launch, even with the weird anti consumer BS Bethesda shat out with the canvas bags, even the most rattled person alive has to see how exhausting this is.

And it's not exhausting just because hating the game has become a meme. You could argue that every bad game gets some kind of meme around it.

But holy gently caress, guys. I went and looked. Even No Man's Sky didn't get this much obnoxious noise. Most bad games get a "wtf is this they could have done better" and then everyone fucks off to play better games. Nope. People seem obsessed with making "why 76 sucks" videos and buying a game they KNOW they won't like just to get a spot in the echo chamber.

Being angry about a game's state is one thing. But when the devs are actively making changes, are listening to our feedback, and are giving updates (yes, after we made noise, I admit), why are we still going as far as running into other subreddits for unrelated games to try and gather together a mob?

We get it. The game was not released in the best state. It was released far too early, was not tested the way it should have been, and yes, we deserve better for our $60/$30/$0 we spent for it. And yes, the canvas thing was asinine.

I'm sorry for the high and mighty soapbox rant, but this poo poo is what I wake up to when I went to check the news or to see any videos I missed, like I always do. I've unsubbed from a lot of things, but even then, I can't really escape it. Why are we bitching about 76 in Red Dead Redemption subreddits? You think RDR2 did better? GO PLAY THAT. WHY THE drat HELL ELSE ARE YOU HERE.

I just want to see one video where Bethesda is actually being acknowledged for making changes to the game. ONE. Because everyone is acting like the game is in the exact same state it was on the day of launch and it's almost maddening.

Just stop with the cringey videos and clickbait and inserting this poo poo into conversations it doesn't belong in. I'm one of the most cynical pieces of poo poo alive, but even I need a breather loving once in awhile.

It's really cruel of you to not source this quote
