With Bethesda games, you always have to install the unofficial patches. They're that buggy. If the game CAN'T be because it's online, STAY AWAY!!!
[Gaming] Fallout 76 Info Dump
- Thread starter Dave
- Start date
I wonder if Bethesda is in financial trouble, because this game smells of desperation, reusing assets for a quick turnaround, using an idea I assume they've had shelved for awhile considering the survival game trend fell out of favor years ago.
Maybe the bag will get patched
They advertised the canvas bag up until release. Then, deftly, on release day, changed it to a nylon bag on the website. Many websites that sell shit still show the original canvas bag ad.
Bethesda is scum.
I think the false advertising lawsuit is now a slam-dunk.

Maybe someone will mod it on Etsy and people will say, "The modded version is much better, you should get that one."

A surprisingly balanced look at Fallout 76:
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/...t-76-customer-names-addresses-contact-details
Basically, in a fuckup of utterly mind-boggling proportions, info that Bethesda customers have submitted in support tickets are being sent to other Bethesda customers. This includes personal details such as names, addresses, credit card info, etc.
This naturally has led to the joke that Bethesda always relied on the community to fix the issues with their games using unofficial patches, so now they're outsourcing customer service to the community too.

For anyone keeping track at home, FO76 had another major patch recently that involved a whole bunch of unpopular nerfs. But that's not the main problem. The main problem is that apparently someone over at Bethesda didn't do their version control correctly, and as a result a bunch of bugs that had been fixed in previous patches ended up getting reintroduced in this patch.
I swear, watching all the train wrecks has been providing as much entertainment as if I'd bought the game, if not more.

People still play that?
Apparently not as many as Bethesda would like.
Or, judging by Bethesda's actions post-launch, they think they have too many players and want to drive away some of them.
Immediately his glasses fall off and shatter.
Bethesda appear to be dipping their toe into pay-to-win features, with the introduction of the ability to buy repair kits with real money.

Win against who, the only other person still playing?

Fallout 76 is getting a battle royale mode. Nuclear Winter, free for those who own 76.
Not sure if I didn't like the cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire", or if the association with the game just killed any chance of enjoying the music.

I just wished they made a New Vegas styled sequel instead. Same engine with new location and story.
Eh, I've heard better and worse versions of the song.
And companies just seem to really hate making "more of the same" sequels these days. I mean, I get it, it's easier to make headlines and such with New and Exciting stuff, but for many, many games, I think what fans want really is "more of the same, with a good story, and with minor improvements to looks/menus/etc".
Of course, that means your game gets compared to the old one one differences, and if that's the story and your story sucks...
But anyway, "same engine, new tracks", "same engine, new story", "same engine, new skills",... Are all often better than "completely new and different!" - but they also all get the stink eye as "just like a good mod"etc.

To me it seems like Bethesda is just chasing trends. They make a cynical survival game after that fad had already ended, making everyone sarcastically say "wow, what's next, a battle royale?"
Yes, that's what's next
