I think the lack of new ideas and a rush to market are their causes of stagnation.

I'm somewhere between both of these. Mainly because it isn't so much the engine is so old, it is that even with the "updates", they can't be bothered to fix shit that they already know is broken at the source that modders have independently fixed multiple times (like, at every game release) already.

Hell, even the final Interplay release of Fallout 1/2 included a few community patches on disc alongside the vanilla installs. The least Bethesda could do is... well... that. And also not expect to make extra money from someone fixing their problem for them.

Todd Howard said the engine will be used for the new Elder Scrolls and Starfield.

If Starfield isn't a Star Wars/Garfield crossover, I'm not buying. Odie-Wan Kenobi? Do it.

I'm reposting this again, but adding into that newfound high interest in The Outer Worlds as well.

Add Mutant: Year Zero to this and maybe throw an asterisk by Cyberpunk 2077, and you have an ever growing list of things that are appearing more Fallout than Fallout.

Fignuts 12-14-2018 05:28 AM

Outer Worlds looks fucking awesome. Can't wait.

Hopefully they will get this patched into a semi-playable state for what niche audience there is before focusing on future projects.



What fartboi forum did you copy and paste this from? Stop helping the fad


The game is really fun with a group of friends, once you gather some levels it is possible to solo some of the content. Not once has the game became "unplayable" and I have it on PS4/Xbox One.

Sepholio 02-14-2019 03:50 PM

Heisenberg....I love you.....but the game is garbage. I'm glad you are having fun with it but you are in an extreme minority.

Fignuts 02-14-2019 04:29 PM

The game should have been in development another year to add npcs and the kind of narratives that people expect from the series, but after giving the game another chance, I have to admit I’m having a lot of fun with it, even when playing solo. Bethesda definitely deserves to catch some shade for some of their decisions, but as usual with the internet, the “worst game of the year” crap is largely overblown.

As I said earlier this game appeals to a niche group of the fan base who mainly enjoy the more atmospheric elements of Bethesda games and like to just walk around and explore. Again, making a game that only appeals to this group is where Bethesda went wrong.

I’ll say one thing though. This game has reignited a shred of faith in gamers not being shit heads all the time, because fallout 76 has one of the best communities I’ve encountered in a long time. Every other player I’ve encountered has either minded their business or given me stuff. No one has fucked with me or my base. Pretty amazing when you consider how toxic the gaming community is in general.

DAMN iNATOR 02-16-2019 03:37 PM

Part of the blame no doubt lies with investors who probably insisted on the game being rushed out ASAP in the name of the almighty dollar. It doesn't and shouldn't excuse every mistake by Bethesda since launch, but still, if we're going to assign blame, let's keep it 💯.

Part of me wanted to hate it, but I took it and made it my own. It's even better when someone else logs on, making dungeons easier to clear, still at a price to chems/food, but that shit shouldn't stay in your storage that long.



For the first few months I no-sold the majority of it's existence, part of it was because I didn't get a call to come work on the game down in Austin. That red devil on my shoulder told me to join the masses and shit on a game I barely gave any thought to after getting rejected. The rejection should have taken me over, but it didn't.

Fignuts 02-22-2019 08:19 PM

Pretty good roadmap, tbh

I might actually give it another go after they release all that content.

Sepholio 02-24-2019 12:53 AM

The wastelanders one specifically, because I'm hoping that the talk of factions and the title indicate the arrival of large numbers of npcs or something

Heisenberg 02-24-2019 11:27 AM

if you happen to play on PS4 or Xbox One, I'll be on for the ride this year. Obviously stopping here and there to play Anthem, MK11 and Cyberpunk 2077

Sepholio 02-24-2019 06:30 PM

Cyberpunk aint happening this year, no way. Late next year at the earliest. It's going to be next-gen.

What makes this more ironic is the fact that the whole idea behind this game in the first place was to offer something for the people outside of the "niche" that actually liked Fallout from day one, when it was truly a "Post Apocalyptic Role Playing Game". Let's alienate those people by making a shitty version of other stuff the new players we're looking to attract are already playing but with Fallout assets.

I don't think "worst game of the year" is overblown. In fact, I'm more disheartened by this shitshow potentially tanking the IP and the world can possibly be denied another actual, good Fallout game because of the parade of mistakes and missteps taken here only teling Bethesda that they need to take a step back instead of looking at why they need to take that step back and course correct in the future. And for what? To sell some extra Vault Boy swag in their percieved perpetual money-making machine?

I feel like Seph: maybe after all that content, and tweaking the game for the better, I might give it a proper go... because I still hate that I am not excited about/really enjoy something that is Fallout. A game that makes me nostalgic for Brotherhood of Steel is clearly doing something wrong.

I think you're underestimating the amount of trash that comes out every year. Stuff you probably didn't even hear about. I think "worst game of the year" should be reserved for actually that. Games that few people could derive fun out of.

I think most of these worst games lists have gotten into the habit of confusing "worst game" with "most disappointing game". Fallout 76 is certainly a favorite for the latter, but I wouldn't consider it for worst.

Are you on console?

Answering this question ages later: yes.

I haven't seriously gamed on PC in years. Mostly because I haven't re-invested in any kind PC since I purchaced an admittedly middling-to-terrible laptop on my second go at college (which was around 2006-2007ish). I had an "OK" desktop then as well, but neither were really going to do me any favors gamewise outside of classic arcade emulation or getting a wild hair up my ass to re-run something like Diablo, Blood Omen, or, yes, one of the original Fallout games.

I currently can't do anything *but* console. I have a steam account with one game- Portal. And that was from that time they gave it out free. And I couldn't do mouse and keyboard to solve puzzles I could see the solution to, but not execute (and my PC gamepad configuration settings weren't doing what they was supposed to be doing).

But circling back to this mess... it wouldn't matter much if I were on PC or console, as this game as a whole is just bullshit on hot, buttered toast.
