fallout 76 is already 35 dollars, 10 days after launch

76 just looks like they wanted to build an mmo without any understanding of how to do that both game design wise and technically. its level system makes little sense and doesn't have any long term content at the other end.
the exclusion of live NPCs also hurt the game I think because they lost a large part of storytelling and chances to faction up
I went into Skyrim and Fallout 4 optimistic and walked out disappointed.
I walked into 76 cynical and walked out pleasantly surprised.
It does all kinds wrong, the addition of online just exacerbates some of Bethesda's consistently awful design decisions. But it's a nice big open world with a lot to see and explore, the only reason I play Bethesda games to begin with, I had fun.
Yeah but I'm asking how can they get away with doing that. If it costs only $35 dollars then it should only be £26 for me, so why am I paying more? It can't just be tax.
It is just greed and laziness to convert into the right currency. It has been for years that $ = €. Possible the same for pounds.
It's because of VAT. The US price is displayed without sales tax; the UK price has the tax included.
$35 = ~£27.30
£35 - 20% VAT = £28
So you're currently being fucked for ~70p.
You can get it for 20 quid here
Is this legit? How can they be selling it so low? Is Fallout 76 that bad?
I've bought from there before with no issues. No clue how it works though, might be some fuckery involved.
I might buy it and become one of those men if it's only £20.
I'll probably end up buying it for the fuck of it
Bethesda titles are just not worth 60$ even with all dlc
It really annoys me that its become a trend. I own Star Citizen and I criticize it. I played the BETA for 76 and critize it. I got my refund the day before it launched. This is the same shit Fallout 4 got, a defense team the week after only for the games glaring faults to just shine brighter and brighter until it was inescapable.
Because a lot (all, in reality) of "illegal" key sites use fraudulent means of obtaining them, credit card fraud was the main method years ago and probably still is despite the smoke and mirror bullshit those sites try to put up. As a rule, you shouldn't use key seller sites for recent AAA releases if you want to stay off the radar. I believe if Steam catches you (which seems rare nowadays) they just remove the game from your account, but I've heard that they still sometimes nuke your account for it (maybe for repeat offenders?)
That said, so many people buy from those sites without issue that the people getting caught could simply be doing dumb shit like buying a dozen newly released $60 games and using the keys all at once—or maybe they never got caught and just lied. Either way I doubt Bethesda is really clocking every single key, or cares that much even if they were.
This is a common situation and should be general awareness whenever accessing a game that is getting a lot of hate. Not to say that everyone who plays will never criticize that a product, but trending controversies are mostly drummed up by passerby. You can tell by how the particular person makes argument against it.
I feel bad for anyone who bought this full price just a week ago.
Jesus.
This is what happens when you put your game on a storefront people didn't even know existed until you said it'd be exclusively on that.
I feel like they really shot themselves in the foot with this move. Older and more traditional Fallout fans are gonna see that the game isn't good enough to warrant 60 dollars for not even two weeks and might lose any small hope they had for the game to be decent, and newer fans who don't mind/like the changes are gonna feel really burnt that they essentially got ripped off for paying 60 to 100 dollars for a game that's already half off.
I don't. It had red flags all over it from the start and beta proved how incomplete it was going to be at release.
It's actually done really well, you still have factions, you still have story, it's just Appalachia is such an unforgiving place (20 years after the bombs dropped so no one has really built up any infrastructure) that everyone just died.
Adjusted for inflation $20 when that image was made would be $38.70
Funny how $30-40 these days is an unpopular mid-budget category, yet the growing poor and lower middle classes can hardly afford those either.
So with fallout 4 GOTYE being ~24$ right now, you have the choice of either, a pretty good game with a bad story but no multiplayer, or this...
ITT people who haven't played the game call people retarded for buying and enjoying a videogame lol
I don't really care if you enjoy this game or not.
It's a fucking bad game. It's a slap in the face to gamers. It's "proof" games can be shoddy, slapped together pieces of crap that don't work, and still sell massively as long as the community accepts it.
Why the fuck should we accept it? To those of you who like the game, and are having fun, why shouldn't I slag the game off verbally when it's the prime example of games companies taking advantage of you, and taking a shit on a beloved product?
Bethesda should just stick to publishing games, they're great when it comes to that because they know that there is still plenty of profit to be made in singleplayer story driven games unlike EA and activision who lie about that to rip players off.
Oh man, I was on facebook a week ago and a post for BFV came up. Some guy wrote this lengthy post about how he is a long time fan who has preordered every DICE game and he feels betrayed for preordering the $100 version of the game when people who bought into Origin Access get to play it at launch.
The comments were full of people(including me) calling him a retard because EA straight up said at E3 that subscribers get to play it at launch so this was his own fault.
I swear, I'm having Deja Vu with the Mass Effect 4l3 ending fiasco and Fallout 4's launch.
You have the same group claiming that the people who've been shitting on the game haven't played it. That doesn't hold up when the people who put up the red flags played during the BETA meaning they pre-ordered the game hoping it'd be good.
I might buy it at $35 if it was on Steam.
But it's not on Steam.
So I won't buy it.
I genuinely don't understand their E3 conference. Of course all developers want to talk up their games, but holy shit that entire presentation is just complete and utter bullshit.
Like, everything about how they got help from so many different branches of the company and poured all this love over the three years of development then put out a game with probably the most pathetic understanding of literally decades of multiplayer games, and tons of reused content from Fallout 4 and worse building features in a completely empty map.
Where did the time go?
If they were honest at that conference, that would require you to genuinely believe that every single fucking company working under Zenimax was impossibly incompetent.
I genuinely don't care if you like the game. This release is unacceptable
How long until they add a steam version for a steam sale? lol
Slag on the game all you want, just don't shit on it for shit thats not real.
I've seen people go on about how "there are no weapon mods" then it tells you about 20-30minuntes into the game, you have to scrap weapons you find to get them.
And seen "there is 0 story at all" when there is a story. Granted, its all in holotapes, and gets annoying to follow if you are playing with friends.
That makes no sense, who the hell would say "you haven't played it" for a bad ending?
The game is a ok game, just broken as fuck, it shouldn't have launched this way, but it did, and needs to be fixed. Thats what people need to bitch about, games shouldn't fucking launch this broken EVER.
