ID Software takes Doom lore more seriously than Bethesda takes Fallout lore
ID Software takes Doom lore more seriously than Bethesda takes Elder Scrolls lore too post-Oblivion
Looks like a generic online shooter MMO. good job killing the feel of fallout.
Good heavens this looks lazy
I can't wait to play this for 2 hours only to refund it. No way am I paying for this level of garbage. It's not the communities responsibility to mod their shit game to be workable.
shame it's not going to be sold on steam then huh. bethesda.net only. different store, different return policies. who knows what they'll have in store for that, pun intended.
I'm sure you're not going to find those kinds of mods on Nexus. That's going to be a GUN thing, if anything.
The last game I played that looked this janky was Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast. This is like the first time I see a MMO style game and am just completely disinterested.
Looks way better than ESO, at least. it's a shame that vats is now some sort of autoaim with dicerolls, hope it actually has a chance of dealing extra damage, otherwise I'll just aim instead.

Aren't you one of the resident "video games in 2018 suck" people though? Don't you want people to be nothing but miserable with the glut of games coming out? This one does seem to be pretty bad though.
PSO was incredible this look like trash
Oh boy.
And here I was thinking how much mods might improve the game, Nov 19 at soonest
Fuck it, I can wait that long.
So instead of creating a feature where players can stick offline or create their own private servers, you have to wait an entire goddamn year past launch due to the fact that Bethesda has to work "extra hard" for official support to be used only in a private server feature they want to introduce on their own terms far later on. Let this shit burn. What traces of an interesting idea there were are marred by being a copy-paste rushjob that not only needed more time in the oven, but was simply flawed from the conceptual stages to begin with. And now unless they did an absolutely shit job of preventing modding prior to official allowance, fans aren't even allowed to fix their stupid shit until well past the point anyone would even care about the game anymore.
VATS would look so much better if they made the gun move around like soldier 76's ult in Overwatch. It could slightly point at whatever you're using VATS on. https://youtu.be/V_0eqEbG7yA?t=61 this game overall feels really unpolished. I do see some potential however. I'll wait until some PC footage until I form an opinion on lighting and graphics and shit.
How much do you want to bet it's creation club only.
It's not even worth betting on, it's a almost certainty.
If they stick to their word about microtransactions only being for cosmetics, it won't be (though I'd expect them to bring in modders to do skins and the like regardless). Instead, they'll at least intend on mods only being available through Bethesda.net, so that they can easily make sure that everyone on a server is using the exact same mods. Whether or not modders will work out a way around this whole system remains to be seen, of course. That's a big if, though. I'm expecting 76 to end up with card pack/perk microtransactions, either being lootboxes or just straight up buying cards, and with the cosmetics store eventually ending up with exclusive weapons/armour, or some sort of item bundles to give you advantages over other players. Who knows for sure, though. Maybe 76 will essentially die and result in Bethesda dropping continued support before the microtransactions get that bad, or maybe they'll do the unexpected thing and stick to their word throughout the years.
huh? this game looks legitimately interesting to play with your friends. scavenging, crafting specialized personal weapons from scrap, leveling up, exploring a fallout world together... the idea of being able to real-time introduce fallout concepts and ideas to my friends who have never played them before at all; watching them go through their first "I'm going to be a hacker/demolition character" playstyle selection... Bethesda was not going to give us a good story even if they tried; but they sure as hell make good exploration/dungeon loops (and that's literally all they're focusing on in this); so I have no clue why people are so peeved over not having an indepth story or whatever it is they're complaining about (the lighting? the game looks better then any of the others so far).
I mean to me personally, this just looks janky and low effort. I get the appeal, but it's not going to be for me, and it's not really looking like something I'd be okay with spending money on. IIRC you were shitting on people for being excited about Red Dead Redemption 2. When I compare the quality/polish of the two titles, I definitely think Fallout 76 is the one that's lacking.
Honestly I don't see the appeal of a borderline empty fallout 4 when the shooting in that game is awful, yet somehow they're basically making a game that's only the shooting an building parts. Keep in mind the building parts in F4 are janky and basically require mods to function at a passable level
Ew I just thought about trying to use the settlement building system without using the dev console
Oh God. Fallout without the dev console at all.
At least they brought hand loading back
For real. Who would have thought that in 2016 we'd have canon lore about Doomguy being the chosen instrument of heaven to enact divine vengeance against the demonic hordes, not to mention hints at all the games being in the same multiverse of worlds tied together by the central hubworld of hell itself.
Combine this game with mods and friends and you could have something fun. As it stands now though I definitely won't consider getting it, at least not at full price. Plus the lack of a Steam version makes me suspicious about monetization. They say it'll be cosmetics only, but I'm sure Zenimax is already planning something worse.
Hey man, If you really cared about what I was saying and not just using this for some weird takedown; you would realize that I was specifically talking about the false advertising being used by Rockstar; and in fact my last post embodies my entire problem with that video that was posted: "You really just can't accept that some people might have a problem with how they're portraying their product" I think Red Dead looks great; but people falling into the marketing rabbit hole was what piqued my interest and made me decide to chime in there. No clue where you're getting "shitting on people for getting excited about Red Dead Redemption 2". If you go back, the first response to my initial comment is a torrent of "you're dumb, shut up, make points"; to which I did, and proceeded to then shut everyone up.
How to kill the little interest I had in it with one sentence. A real shame they gonna hide it on their own platform, would be hilarious to see the player numbers.
