Logging into Fallout 76 in January will give Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics for free - Sensationalist Headlines

It's another reason why I hate live service being used as an excuse for early access AAA titles nowadays. DLC expectations or expansions? Sure, that's become standard enough. Releasing a game that's practically unfinished and now I have to wait for it to get fixed, updated, improved upon and so forth, but you're asking full price with the occasional sale discount like it's any other game? Get the fuck out of here, there's more games coming out worth my money than this. Developers and publishers are banking on early money to justify further production way too hard nowadays, more profit for less initial costs. Quite frankly, the only time it should be excusable is when an indie developer puts a product out in early access at a much reduced price compared to what they want for the full product, or when a free-to-play game goes up that obviously needs more development. People try to argue that we should raise the price of games for these new standards so they would have more reasons to fully finish games, but that just plays into the hands of the publishers that want ALL of the money and who would still force developers to cut corners just to cut down costs and push up profits.

Yeah that's the problem with the whole "release it now fix it later" bullshit. Why would I want to play a slightly less scuffed Fallout 76 after, say, The Outer Worlds comes out? I've ultimately skipped every single game that tried the "it's been a year but the game is finally good now, honest!" tactic, not on some kind of lofty moral grounds, but because by the time the game is in a state that's worth buying- I'm already over it and looking at products that were good to begin with, without a needing a megapatch or having to have the lootboxes taken out post launch, etc.

Imagine that with any other product. It would not fly. "Buy the new GTX 1070! I'll be in working condition in a year, when the GTX 1170 comes out!"

Probably, and those games (mostly Cyberpunk 2077, I'm not too big on TOW's hype train) will probably be better then F76 ever could be. There's no polite way for me to say this: Bethesda fucked up with this game and while I think some of the hate for it is undeserved, some of it is deserved and bethesda are desperate to win back the support they once had. Which is good news for me. I love Fallout and want this game to be everything it can be.

I'm curious if this is due to these three being the highlights of the franchise(aside from New Vegas of course)or if it was cheaper on their behalf than, say, Fallout 3 or New Vegas Complete.

Witcher 3 complete edition when it’s on sale versus a god damned palette swap. Im inclined to believe some would choose the skin, as sickening as that is to ponder.

It's literally just because they probably don't have to pay many residuals for FO1/2 and they make so little in profits as it is that they figure it won't cut into any possible bottom line to toss this shit out like candy. Add to that the cheaper bandwidth for three smaller games.

incredible how they fixed the weight carry bug and made the game even more unplayable. me butthurt
