I've heard from 90% of players/reviewers it's embarrassingly dated, buggy and lifeless. Jim Sterling was brutal in his impressions video. Â Looks like what I was dreading. A half baked attempt by Bethesda at jumping on the "live service" bandwagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Ooh that's a top tip, thanks for that! Can't quite tell if I'm enjoying it or not, to be honest. It's always nice to be in a new Fallout world, but it definitely feels empty. Even with it being brand new, so you'd assume loads of people are playing, I've only come across about half a dozen other people in the 3 or 4 hours I've been playing. It very much feels like they've gone "here's a world, but we couldn't figure out how to make anything work with the multiplayer features, so you'll have to make your own fun instead". Bit tricky to do that when there's barely anyone else around though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I can see this game going the way of No Man's Sky, it gets slated on release and drops in price. 6 months down the line they will have patched the shit out of it and it'll be a completely different game.

Merzbow Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 No. They're now adding paid lootboxes, Beth really aren't learning anything from this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2018 I'm still enjoying it because it's more Fallout. I'm OK with that. But I have to agree Bethesda is just looking to be the most hated company in all gaming with it's parade of idiotic decisions over this game.

Stylin_and_Profilin Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Never been a fan of these games but i know how big a fanbase they have.  I don't think i have seen a game savaged so much since No Man's Sky. It's now sub twenty quid in places; that is one hell of a nose dive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 No Man's Sky eventually became everything it promised and more, I'm not so sure this game is going to be updated like that. Kinda off-topic but Obsidian (guys behind New Vegas) are making Fallout in Space! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted December 19, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 19, 2018 That looks awesome! Let's hope they learn one valuable lesson from Bethesda and have their characters (both playable and NPC) actually move and act like humans rather than animatronics. One criticism I have of Fallout and Skyrim is that the characters seem so lifeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more of a problem with Sky Broadband than anything, but Warcraft and ESO used to just carry on.  Mind you, stops me sitting there all day on it!

The King Of Swing Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) One of Bethesda's problems is that they've been using the same notoriously buggy engine for 400 years. Not sure if patches will be the answer and they'll almost certainly end up breaking something else. No Man's Sky suffered because it underperformed compared to what was hyped. Fallout 76 has been one PR disaster after another. Bethesda need to hit a home run with the next Elder Scrolls. But now I'm worried that they'll rush it's production in the hopes of distracting fans from the 76 fiasco. Edit. Server issues have been widely reported.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) 6 months on, the game has moved on quite a bit. Other than general world balancing, this week has seen the addition of a Battle Royale mode. Yes, really. And it's good fun. It's team based so you are dropped into a gang of 4 on a 50 player map. Usual deal: on site procurement, shrinking map, kill on sight. And you get a good team and it's a blast. I'm hopeless at FPS because I'm an old man now but I enjoy it. It's free this week so try it out. Edited June 16, 2019 by Onyx2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted June 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2019 Not played for a few weeks. Â Found the Scouting tasks a lot of bother for not much return, so will probably return on the next big mission update. Â RDR2 is taking up my life now!
