[Oracsbox]

We were all wrong Vault 76 is the best online fallout ever this YouTube video proves it.He played it for four hours so it must be true.

Super Mutants explained in Fallout 76:

 

[Pika-Cthulhu]

Its the Jesus Fresco but with a 5 year old fingerpainting with his own excrement

 

[Owlish]

A sinister, secret experiment GONE HORRIBLY WRONG. Was it supposed to go horribly right?

 

[Wunderbar]

Brotherhood of Steel in Appalachia was founded right before the Great War, when West Tek poisoned the
drinking water of Huntersville with the BOS Virus, in a sinister, secret experiment gone horribly wrong.

 

[Risewild]

I will submit this to Bethesda:
"The Brotherhood of Steel was a group of junkyard owners that band together before the bombs fell. They were prepers and were making power armor and advanced weapons using parts and material from their extensive junkyards.
They also made underground bunkers under their junkyards and connected them all together using secret tunnels.
When the bombs fell, they were safe and decided to use their superior weaponry made of junk (this can even be collaborated by how the weapons look in recent Fallout games) to tame the wild wasteland."

Wait, in Fo3 wasnt there a whole piece of shit storyline about how the BoS traveled across to the capitol? Why bother when they had a satellite hookup to co-ordinate with the local chapter? Why do I care enough to attempt making sense out of shit? Stay tuned for more inane questions about shit nobody cares about

 

[hexer]

look at those glowing eyes. just like in WoW and fantasy games

 

[Oracsbox]

New lore,glowing eyes and sinister experiments gone wrong !
10/10 Game of the Year

 

[hexer]

New lore totally takes a huge dump all over Master's legacy.
Now he's no better than your mediocre West Tek scientist who beat him to "perfecting FEV super mutants" 40 years earlier in an experiment accidentally gone horribly wrong.

 

[hexer]

Also wouldn't BoS discover Enclave MUCH sooner if they had access to satellite tech from the beginning?
This is a total mess!

This is Bethesda. Past games don't exist anymore. Old games are just "pocket change" that trickles down into their wallets like magic.

 

[Alienman]

Just like sequels to classic movies it's best to just ignore. If you try to accept or make sense of the new lore it will only ruin the whole franchise and possible the memories of those classic things.

Despite everything that has been said, I am wondering if the biggest problem of Fallout 76 right now isn't its price point.
It is a game that is trying to do something kind of new, while struggling to explain what they are doing. It does not exactly also spell a strong feeling of confidence, with its bug warning. Amount of content available is unknown, and while the map is huge, the absence of NPCs make it hard to evaluate how big the game is.

Suppose you like Bethesda's Fallouts. You don't know what you are getting, and yet you are being asked 60 bucks for a point of entry to something you don't know anything about, and apparently without a possibility of refund.

I am not one to wish failure on a game and I hope FO76 does great. Clearly though, it's difficult to wish success to a thing that doesn't make it clear what it is.

In that letter about bugs they released, estimated game world size is 4 times bigger than Fallout 4.

But without NPCs and that shift in gameplay what does that mean ? It clearly doesn't mean there are 4 times as much stuff to do and enjoy.

Hype bro, and online means you have to be there on day1 or you miss out on all the fucked up bugsinteresting features of the game world. I dont wish success on it, but im still shitted off with Herve for pushing FoBoS2 over Van Buren, so any residual hatred is merely overflow onto bethsoft and their success at the expense of a future that was not to be.

There will be plenty of people on launch, some might be turned off by bugs but will return periodically due to patches, the diehards will remain and churn out content to draw in new players, IGN will 9/5 its shit, Polygon et al. will write glowing praise initially then maybe MAYBE talk shit if some female gamers gets called a thot whore by the 12 year old fortnite crowd in game, bugs will be glossed over and memed all to hell and back but it will have enough population to be considered a success and net more money for the next grand turd bethsoft squats down to excrete into the gaping mouths of their fanboys.

Yeah, they were probably referring to the physical size of the game world.

Fantasizing about Frank Horrigan bursting into Bethesda Game Studios

"Your ride is over, mutie."

At this point I am convinced that F76 is just a test to see you stupid their fans are. There is no way a mon retarded human being is unable to see that Beth doesn't care about this cash grab and they will abandon this the moment the player numbers are dropping.

Exactly!



Also... this!

Aha, I think I know the reasons why they don't put human NPCs in the game at all

 

[Gerrard]

Why use AI NPCs when you can have human NPCs instead?
