Unfortunately, there's no crossplay, but if any of you jabronies have the PC version and want someone to help you survive the wastes [or, more likely, betray you to bandits for a few caps and some skeever meat] then get in here and let's get this started.

People are excited for this game?

It looks like such a late gen "shit we don't want to make an actual new game for the end of gen, quick reuse some assets and put something out" type game.

Was Fallout 4 shit? I played for 2 hours on my bros PS4 awhile back and it seemed terrible - they'd taken the RP out of my RPG and it was pared back bullshit. Interested to hear if this new Fallout is any good. New Vegas and it's DLC was top-tier stuff

There's no npcs in this game. (Well, apart from some ResetEra users you might run in to.) If you thought Fallout 4 took out the rp elements, I don't even know what to tell you about this one. Seems all the story is doled out through text and audio logs.

They fucked with the character building again, cause the new system for Fallout 4 wasn't shit enough yet. You now open packs of cards with random perks in them.

I've been getting attacked by zombie dudes pretty much all the time, though mostly in settlements and structures. Do hate the tiny FOV, though, I gotta have more than that.

It's part of the leveling system. Each level lets you unlock a single perk, but certain levels give you a pack of [I think it's either 4 or 5] random perks. The perks you choose can be upgraded up to two times, but the random perks can't be upgraded.

Played for an hour last night, and had a lot of fun exploring and dicking around in the world. FOV is definitely tiny, performance on the Xbone X is sporadic, visually the game is very inconsistent, combat is pretty fun, the setting itself and music is fantastic.

I dunno, this is definitely something a lot of people don't want, but its a neat game to dick around in.

Yeah, I've been enjoying it so far, but the absence of NPCs is definitely felt here. I'm hoping that I can do some multiplayer, preferably with some Bore bros., to see if that spices things up. I really hope Bethesda treats this the way they treated Elder Scrolls Online, which was pretty "meh" at launch but has improved drastically since then.

The coolest (and least likely scenario) thing Bethesda could do is after about a year of the game being out, revealing in game that everything you and other players have done is simulate rebuilding civilization, that everything you've done is a VR test.

All characters get reset, all quests get reset, you emerge from your VR pod and explore a world that has real people, NPC's. New quests, new locales, basically an expansion that improves everything in the base game.

You're right about Elder Scrholls online, I bought the morrowind expansion and never got to spending a lot of time for ESO. I imagine if Fallout 76 does well enough, expansions and sone sort of premium pass will be offered.

There's no settlement building like in Fallout 4, but you do build your own base [which can be easily moved with just a small fee in caps] and there are points around the map that you can take control of as an easy source of materials.

Reading how buggy this is, I’m assuming that the lack of human NPCs is because they couldn’t get the radiant A.I. to work correctly on the server and having all NPCs just be completely stationary would make it really obvious.

It's definitely a design flaw that they fed back into the story and setting itself. If there were 64 or 128 player servers, the lack of NPC's wouldn't be as dramatic or easily felt too. It feels like 16 players makes the game struggle tho lol.

Thinking about the concept of an online Fallout for a bit, a co-op Fallout game where quests and things done for factions changes the game world and quests for all players, would be a lot cooler than what Fallout 76 is.

Like, imagine doing a Brotherhood of Steel quest that makes them hostile towards other factions. Another player in a different faction then gets attacked on site from any roaming Brotherhod faction NPC's.

That type of online experience would be fucking dope, even if it was only a 4 player server.

It's roughly a year after the nuclear war, I think. The series has been pretty inconsistent with how long it takes a normal human to become a ghoul, though, years in some cases and days or weeks in others. The most common enemy in Fallout 76 is the Scorched ghouls, which were created by a plague rather than just from radiation; regular ghouls are somewhat rarer.

It's actually set 25 years after the bombs drop. Though the lore doesn't mean much for this game, seems like they couldn't figure out how to get NPC AI to work with their servers so they made up some bullshit about how everyone died or turned into scorched. For what it's worth though I'm having a decent time with the game, though mostly because I'm playing with friends. Probably should have been sold as a 40 dollar game.

Fallout 1/2 have no “feral ghouls”.

Fallout 3 does, but claims they are due to slow degredation  of the brains of ghouls that takes place over dozens of years.

So right after the blast there should only be regular ass ghouls that still talk and shit.

The scorched ghouls sound dumb and don’t also really make sense I. Universe.

It kind of pisses me off how Bethesda has shit on this property. It had so much potential.

Don't own the game but it just seems like it doesn't thread the needle for what people would want from such a thing.

I mean they could have gone the very direct Dying Light meets Fallout Co-op approach. They could have gone for hardcore rust approach. They could have gone for a minecraft kind of thing.

But by trying to be a little of everything to everybody it doesn't really go far enough to satisfy anyone.

Don't try to make sense of "The Elder Scrolls with Guns: We Bought This IP from Interplay to Rape It To Death" series, son.

The only good post-Interplay Fallout is New Vegas, and that's despite the shit engine (and mostly because it had like... 50-80% of the original Fallout team on it). And we're never getting another one from Obsidian because 1) it made The Elderscrolls with Guns series by Beth look clownshoes and 2) Obsidian is bought by MS now.

At least we'll always have Fallout 1-2, Tactics, and New Vegas I guess.

I'm fine with what Bethesda has mostly done to the franchise outside of this one. Fallout 4 is not as good as 3 or new vegas but I still enjoyed it. But then I'm not the type of gamer who simply wanted old school isometric versions of Fallout 1 and 2.

People love Fallout 3, Skyrim, Oblivion.

Obsidian releases New Vegas which takes the Bethesda formula and makes it good.

People play Fallout 4 only to realize that Bethesda sucks at their own formula and can’t write and have played a modern Fallout game to directly compare the game to.

Years pass and they decide to half ass it even more on the next Fallout.

Normies start to realize that the spergs who complained about Fallout 3 and in some ways, Skyrim, were right the entire time.

Unless significant changes are made, I see TESVI suffering a bit.

Meanwhile, I still haven’t played FO4 because I knew from the reveal trailer that it’d be shit when you downsize RPG choice in text form to force voice work. Nice to see Bethesda exposed for what they are: hacks. Also that gamers have been burned by hype again.

Toodle loo.

i have never been less hyped for a fallout game ever, but i got it anyway because it's fallout and all the others were great games

you'll enjoy it if you usually enjoy fallout, the multiplayer aspect never gets in the way. i haven't run into any griefing yet

but it's a lot buggier than usual and my sessions usually ends with the game freezing on me.

can't really recommend it to anyone who isn't so much into fallout that they haven't already bought it, but i'll still finish it and i'll still have a good time doing so

I love Bethesda, I loved, loved, loved Fallout 4, but this ain't it chief. This game sucks. They should have just asked Obsidian to slap together another single player spinoff in 12 months. Nothing about this game feels good, it's all just demonstrably worse than Fallout 4 in every aspect. Gutting the story and RPG elements to focus on crafting and multiplayer is the worst thing they could have done, this game is a top-to-bottom mistake.

Just wanted to pop in here and say that Fallout 1 and 2 did have feral ghouls (https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Feral_ghoul) and that this game is as fun and frustrating as any survival game I've played. The negative press and internet reaction seem to be typical loud internet minority stuff. I get that this isn't Fallout 5 or New Vegas 2 and that some people are upset about that, but it's basically everything they said it would be at E3 when it was announced. I'm really enjoying it on Xbox and the servers are far from empty.

It seems to be doing fairly well, and apparently Bethesda does actually intend to continue supporting this going further [rather than just dumping it off and moving on], so I do think it could grow into something good eventually. But right now, it just feels kinda barren. The world is there, the loot is there, the monsters are there, but it all feels too empty and rudderless. I did get 40-ish hours of enjoyment out of it, though, so I don't feel like I wasted money, I just need something major to happen with the game before I feel like going back in.

Bethesda says they are adding player-run stores, so that will be cool. At E3 they said, "
it's basically everything they said it would be at E3

I can understand enjoying a shitty game, but I don't think this part of your comment can stand up against any scrutiny.

Here's the video if you care to scrutinize:

The only thing that stands out to me as misleading is "16x the detail." I have no idea what that means and the game can look like ass sometimes even in 4K. Fallout 4 with some foliage and lighting mods looked better, I think. You can see distant storms systems, though, which is cool. But the survival elements like constant upkeep, the empty world, no NPCs, etc. that people are complaining about was right there in the announcement:

Quote
"We have always wanted to tell that story of what it would be like for you and the other characters who were first to leave the vaults. But there's one big difference with this game: it's that each of those characters is a real person. . .Open world, survival, every person is real. . .it's more 'softcore' survival. . .When we think about games, we think about worlds and the choices that you can make, the stories that you create and tell by yourself. By creating a wide open world with very few rules, we have a game—more than any other game we've ever done—where the choices are yours, where you'll decide what happens. You'll decide the heroes and you'll decide the villains."

People complain that it's boring to play alone, but:

Quote
"You can play this game solo and quest. But the easiest way to survive in the wasteland is to team up and survive together."

Lack of direction:

Quote
"We love dynamic game systems. So we thought, why don't we put multiple nuclear missile sites on the map and then let all of you do whatever you want with them."

(It's interesting what the community decided pretty quickly were the best spots to nuke without any direction from the developers.)

And people complaining about uninvited PvP:

Quote
"When you emerge from the safety of your vault, the world you know will have changed. Take your neighbor, Johnny, instead of coming over for sugar, he may be coming over for murder."

Sure, this game is not everyone's cup of tea and sometimes the bugs can make it downright enjoyable, but the game they described is there and if you want to play a hybrid survival/action RPG loot fest, this one is pretty fun. The online aspect is what I enjoy best, because I like the unpredictability humans add to the game. People can help you or attack you, band together or try to make it alone, build welcoming rest stops for dwellers or buttoned-up fortresses. The lack of an NPC telling me to find my son does not bother me in the least. The bugs I tolerate because I expected them from a Bethesda game. This game plays like a Minecraft/Rust/Diablo 3 mashup and I can really get into it. Of course, I'm not telling anyone they have to like it, but if you're curious about the game and that concept sounds fun to you, I think you'll like it. To me. it was definitely worth the $35 it cost.

Rumbler, the next big thing they are adding is player vending. Not sure how that is going to work, but hopefully it does make the game economy a little richer.

So, Bethesda is actually doing some stuff with this game in 2019, rather than just abandoning it:

Don't care about a private server, but the gating the unlimited scrap storage space behind a paywall makes me mad.

Wastelanders expansion it out and Fallout 76 is also available on Steam now.

Not that anyone other than me cares, of course.

I just don't want to deal with griefers.. but TBH I love Fallout so much that I'd be tempted to pay their ludicrous fee to have my own private server and just play the game like it's FO5 lol
play rust for literally a week, it's prepared me for anything in survival games. You too can become lord of the flies.

I made an Instagram for my doll house in FO76: https://www.instagram.com/fo76inn/

There's very little griefing in FO76. The community is more Animal Crossing than Rust.

Playing this game now via Gamepass.

Wow. This is RUFF. Generally speaking I think gamers are too harsh on games today but I see what the bitching was about at launch especially since this is probably way improved since then. It still feels like its held together with duct tape. This is probably the worst technically performing "big-budget" game I've played on a console. And the thing is it doesn't even look that good for what it costs in performance. I was kinda excited to play it since my tastes aren't generally in alignment with the mainstream, but a good hour of play was enough for me for a bit. I'll be coming back to it but definitely have to kind of recalibrate my expectations.
