I like Fallout 76 so far, but I’m also playing alone, at my own pace, shooting things. But this looks amazing.

it being multiplayer is kinda keeping me away from 76 atmo... keeping an eye on it but not joining just yet

but yes.. im already getting hyped for this one ( i never learn... that said..obsidian.... always a good sign)

The one problem I see with this is it isn’t fallout. Yeah it’s from a studio that has a history of making fallout games, but there’s something special about the setting and lore of fallout that I love that this won’t have.

Also I genuinely really, really like 76. I’ve been playing with some friends which definitely helps the experience. Sure, it’s occasionally buggy but my experience has generally been positive.

Curious why multi-player impacts it for you. Is it fear of griefing? If so, Bethesda actually has done a relatively good job of preventing that, and the game certainly can be played solo if it’s a concern of needing others to play it.

it not being fallout is a point... but not a dealbreaker for me is the writings up to snuff

(sides aside from fallout my other big love is firefly... this setting suits me just fine)

I watched some of the beta streams, and it just looked like other players would be a major annoyance, even if they can’t do much to hurt me.

Beyond that, it seems that adapting for multiplayer really broke VATS. The ephemeral nature of bases seemed to mess with one of the things I enjoyed most from 4 (also they really should have allowed some sort of co-op base building). And perhaps the most important point, the lack of human NPCs seemed to really take the life out of the story. Way too many quests seemed to be like “Go find this person” and then “well, they’re dead”.

All fair points. I have hardly encountered other human players besides friends once I got out of the starting area. Even then, only one was hostile and the way the combat system works he didn’t actually hurt me much and I left.

Base building is enjoyable IMO, but I do miss having settlers in my settlement. Co-Op building is a thing, but it’s not a shared base if that makes sense - you can help someone build, but that’ll be their base. Or you can build at a workshop in the wasteland, but that’ll only last as long as you ‘hold’ the workshop.

And totally agree on the NPC thing. It is unfortunate. It’s also somewhat annoying that when you speak to an NPC (always a robot) , it doesn’t pause the world, which breaks some immersion previous games had.

Is fallout 76 at all related to the old Interstate 76 game? Cause if so I definitely want to check it out. If not ...

12/14/2018 at 19:34

negatory... far as i know it doesnt even have driveable vehicles

you may want to check out rage 2 tho

also not related to interstate 76... but a good chunk of the game is driving around in cars with guns
