Fallout 76 - 💩💩💩
Apparently, Vault 76 is a control vault built by Vault-Tec and opened in 2076 in West Virginia in honor of America's tercentenary (300 year anniversary) celebration. I don't know if that means this will be the exact time and place setting, but if we're not going to WV, it's #PrettyWeird that they'd have John Denver's "Country Roads (Take Me Home)" playing. P. S. - Hate to say I told ya so but on the TES side it's not like they have a hit MMORPG, like, I dunno, an Elder Scrolls Online game... Last edited by DAMN iNATOR; 11-18-2018 at 03:34 PM. |

I doubt that very much about the MMO thing. Fallout is Bethesda's single-player bread and butter. I don't think they're going to try to have it compete with TESO.
Also, someone more observant than me saw an antiquated looking 21st or 22nd century computer with a time dial on it. It appears it will start set on October 27th, 2102. |

It wont compete with TESO any more than TES already does.

Jason Schreier, one of Kotaku's best reporters, warned that people expecting the usual Fallout experience are going to be... surprised. He's legit so for you fans, expect something different.

Well, it does have somewhat of a FO 1/2/Tactics kind of feel to it at first glance, which would actually be pretty cool IMO.

The last time I bought Fallout (yes,multiple times, don't judge me!) was the last retail collection Interplay released of 1,2,and Tactics after they sent the IP off to Bethesda for the then upcoming 3, yet still in that timeframe where Interplay was supposedly working on the Fallout MMO to coincide before that weird sort-of C and D where they were told they could continue maiking said Fallout game, but it can't contain anything that would signify it as a Fallout game. The fuck does that work?" Anyway, included on said disk were also unofficial patches. They weren't the finals (thus the plug for NMA), but was interesting to see the company back the community and slap them as an optional install (games themselves were final vanilla build). Quality of life stuff like highlighted drops and fixing sone dialogue loops and errors. Not mandatory, but worth downloading. |

Kinda hope this is a Fallout MMO. And you get the option to not just play as a human. Intelligent Deathclaw here I come.

Still doesn't mean Elder Scrolls 6 is not in play either. Companies usually pawn off MMOs to second-party producers.

I kinda hoped it would be more like what they did with Fallout 3 and New Vegas, where instead of released a new game they just do a new story and a few tweaks. Fallout 4 was disappointing in missions, story and map rather than mechanics so could have really benefited from such treatment.
Interested to see what will come of this, but probably wait until I've seen reviews before parting with any cash. |

Well count me out on this one. All humans in the game are other players. No bandits, no brotherhood, no towns full of people, potentially no mutants. Nothing. Just the other players, the wildlife, and robots. Interest completely killed at this point; it is 100p a survival game.

Fuck this, my PS4 port is wonky and wifi is weak. My PS3 works just fine, so it's not my ethernet cable. PS4 connects/disconnects randomly. Sad to skip this, but I hate playing online for more than 10-230 minutes. I play to be anti-social, not e afraid to pause to take a piss or watch a random Youtube video.

So, signs are pointing to this heading in the direction that X-Com was going in: trade in on the name and forsake what it was. Instead of making the thing that will keep the loyal fanbase happy, let's just make something that isn't remotely close and slap the franchise paint on it for possible nominal success but alienation and more apprehension in the future.
This *might* end up being good, but for the first time in the history of ever, I'm not that stoked about an upcoming Fallout title. And as much as I am meh about the Brotherhood of Steel titles, they still got me jazzed. Hell, I recommend Wasteland 2 to any and every person who were into 1 and 2, because that game proves the first two titles can work on a console. I asked in another thread, but how much separation does Fallout need from its roots before it is no longer Fallout? There is more to the game than Radscorpions and Vault Boy. Storytelling, references, V.A.T.S., Karma, and actually having to make choices (such as exactly which perks you'll be taking, because you couldn't just powerlevel and take everything - you only had so many until the cap, so choose wisely). Fans want another game like New Vegas, as NV is essentially the gold standard of the franchise history taken into the then-current gen... and instead of doing that and releasing this alongside it (similar to 4 and Shelter), they're trying to go elsewhere and make it something it isn't. Fallout doesn't need to be an action FPS. Or a Battle Royale game. People who want those other things are playing those other things, and people who want Fallout don't want it to be those things. I mean, could you imagine if Capcom decided they wanted to stop making Street Fighter a fighting game and gradually tried to shift it into something in the style of Heavy Rain? Nothing but cutscenes and QTEs? Intresting for a one-off, maybe, or a side project, but not the direction the fanbase would be enthused about. |

Im excited for something different. Would have been kind of non-plussed about another single player.
I know that me and the nwo are gonna tear up the wasteland. |

I've read some articles about Fallout 76 all around the web. I guess the press got an early peek. They say that it doesn't feel like a Fallout game, but they also say it's fun. I guess I'll give it a shot. Last edited by Eyre; 05-05-2023 at 08:00 AM. |

Yeah, well in the intervening months between the announcement and everything else we've had since, it's safe to assume it will be worse than the drudge that was Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and it deserves to flop even worse sales wise too.

No NPCs, no real story, nothing that makes it a title worthy of the Fallout name. Direct antithesis of the original 2 games and New Vegas. Prove me wrong.

Not having NPC's is a potential misstep, but its not the end of the world. We've already seen from the early access people have gotten that there are story elements to the game. A big overarching plot is nice and all but its not necessary. By all accounts most people enjoy the smaller side quests anyway.
I'm not going to condemn Bethesda for trying something new and different. They don't "deserve to fail" just because its not your cup of tea. Last edited by Fignuts; 10-11-2018 at 01:20 PM. |

Yeah, I've seen enough of those videos. Again, the meat of it is complaining about the game being something they don't want, rather than anything that is objectively bad.
I don't get the vitriol people have for this game. If it's not your thing then cool, that's understandable, but there are a lot of people acting as if this is the new direction the series is sticking to from here on out. Like, you will get another single player eventually,my dude. Chill. In the mean time here's cool spin-off that does something new and different with the series. Not saying they don't deserve criticism. If they fucked with their own lore, than they deserve to get called out on it. If the no npc experiment fails, (which will entirely depend on the execution of the concept) then yeah, they should get called out on it. But saying it needs to fail makes you look like a selfish prick who throws a tantrum just because a game isn't the experience you wanted. |
