Not to mention the tutorial on crafting. “Pick up that can. Now take it over to that workbench. No, the other workbench. Now select X. Now try to figure out how to line up X with Y with limited camera angles and poor control because you’re using a console. Now repeat 50,000 times because we ran out of content early on and the DLC is poor. Now go run the same radiant quest for the fiftieth time.” Although it’d probably actually stop after the first two sentences.
Fallout 76 but honestly it can be Fallout 200 if they don’t upgrade their damn game engine. The trailer and graphics looked like Fallout 4’s engine. That killed the game for me as it didn’t feel next gen at all. Along with the abysmal story.
At this point I would have just liked a New Vegas Remaster.
The speculation seems to be that it will be a multi-player survival game like Ark or Conan. There is some speculation that there won’t be mods…if so then it probably kills it for me, since that implies corporate servers and more of an MMO orientation instead of allowing users to spin up their own servers to host the game in a more restricted manner. It supposedly uses the Fallout 4 engine and settlement system which I’m pretty neutral about. I heard there will be questing and a story driven game, but it’s all pure speculation.
The real key will be if it’s limited multi-player and can be modded and if they have made the standards survival game (which was popular more a few years ago than now) interesting and fresh set in the Fallout world. I do plan to catch Bethesda’s presentation on Sunday, where they will be giving more details about this and other games they have planned (supposedly they will be announcing 2 big games under production and in theory being released this year).
I really don’t like multiplayer, even if it is “only dozens”. I like to play at my own pace and not feel like I have to build cookie-cutter characters just to keep up with the joneses.
This announcement would have made me excited if not for Bethesda’s paid mod fuckery. Now I’m just dreading what kind of suck they’re going to put in it.
I don’t like mods, so I have no cause not to be excited. I have well over 1,000 hours on *Skyrim *and I’d be happy to put another 1,000 in the next one.
