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.

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

That is actually good for me, gives me time to knock out some backlog yo!

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.

It's fun with the Heisenberg World Order, but then again, so is everything.

I picked this up for 15 bucks in a Redbox purchase.
