And yet they both manage to be cynical as hell about it and actually aren't that far off from each other in meaning.

For fallout, the point is that people will keep fighting over dumb shit, even though the world has changed.
For mgs, the point is that the world has changed, and now people are fighting over more dumb shit than ever before.

Shilling, shilling never changes.

That's a youtube video of the Fallout 76 stream, featuring Ninja (Fornite streamer), Logic130 (rapper), and Rick & Morty (no seriously). It's... well see for yourself.

Gotta wonder who comes up with this stuff. Some marketing guy with more funding than sense, it seems.

"Nerds like these things, right?"

Sometimes, marketing people do great work. Other times... not.

IMO, Beth can do whatever they want when it comes to game dev. I don't mind taking Fallout in a new direction and trying to bring all sorts of casuals into the hype train. Even if it crashes and burns and explodes like a lot of people are prophesying will happen with 76. They earned the right to go insane at this point.
But this sort of marketing stuff can eventually make your fans feel ashamed of supporting you, damn. There's also some weird marketing videos with basketball players? I'm not from the US and I don't care about basketball, so that definitely made me go 'dafuq, is this from Bethes...yes..yes it is.'

Bethesda is of the same breed as Ubisoft. Which is to say, not malicious but oh the heights of idiocy they reach.

My friend literally bought me the game because he was so hyped for it and wanted me to join him and some of our other friends for it. He knew about my lukewarm response to the game too.

Its literally just modded fallout 4 with restrictions and more lag because i cant performance mod it. I already miss having the minutemen around calling me general and feeling like a badass.

I've come to realize that buying friends games they weren't all that interested in is a losing battle. Bought a work friend Dark Souls 3 and thought he would love it, but we got him to play it twice and he's never wanted to jump in while we're playing since.

And my roommate's friend bought him the new COD game and he kinda refuses to even fire it up.

Sometimes getting people games, especially coop/MP games, is more about your needs than their's. Sometimes people can learn to like something. But more often their first instincts are the correct ones, for themselves.

Launch day and no one else said anything? Damn, that's a contrast from FO4 release where me and a few others tried not to spoil the whole game. I literally did not sleep and had it on preorder and preloaded. It released 6am or something..
I'm currently playing it again actually, with 140 mods. Took a break from all the crashing and now put together Skyrim with 75+ mods yet again.
Yet I have zero intention on grabbing 76 atm. I do want to have it when it gets on a good sale though.

If anyone is playing it, let me know if it's THAT meh.

I ordered a physical copy of the game from the bethesda merch store so I have to wait until it's delivered to play again :/  Hopefully it'll be here later today

Here's hoping that you didn't get one of those "all of the extras but you don't actually get the game" editions.

I bought it Tuesday (had 30$ in PlayStation cards, so the game was only 30$ out of pocket), downloaded it and tried to stay up for the midnight release. Didn't manage that, which was ok because the servers got hit hard and were up and down until Wednesday morning.

Also got it digitally, so I could put it on both my PS4s and have my nephew play with me.

Actually got to play a few hours yesterday, both solo and with my nephew.

Solo is pretty good. There's problems with enemies respawning every time a new person comes into an area, which gets annoying, but not unmanageable. I do like how VATS works, even though it's different from any other entry in the Fallout verse.

SPECIAL stats and perk cards are a different way of making your character unique, and cards can be upgraded / swapped at any time. Each card has a cost, which is where SPECIAL comes in. 2PER lets you equip 2 cards that cost 1, or an upgraded card that costs 2, for example. I like this system better than 4.

My nephew enjoys killing everything that moves, while I enjoy picking up holotapes and reading notes and putting the world together. Did a few quests, didn't hit any bugs yet.

Is it Fallout? Yes. Do I enjoy it? Yes. Do other people enjoy it? Yes and no.

It's a different Fallout game than normal. It's a little buggy and weird, but I see room for improvement and Bethesda seems to want to make this something that lasts.

Many A True Nerd on YouTube has a few videos of gameplay, and might be worth watching if you are interested.

I have zero interest as well.

I was mildly curious until I watched one of my favorite streamers play it. He seemed to like it at first but after a few hours he realized it's super ultra boring. Personally it looked super ultra boring at the start but he was playing with friends and that kinda hides shitty games for a bit. I think the tipping point was how extremely crap the PvP was.

At this point I keep forgetting this game exists until this thread gets bumped or some video bashing it shows up.

"Here's a dvd installer. It's a 5gb dvd. Good luck on your 100gb download."

Woot! Got my first bounty kill today!

Spoiler: Could be considered as spoilers by some. (click to show/hide)

I was minding my own business when I noticed a red marker on the map, so i snuck up and sniped them from a distance, he never knew what got him.
I got a 500 caps reward for killing him, and whatever junk he dropped was apparently up for anyone to take. (Which I shamelessly grabbed.)
As far as I know, you only get whatever junk they were carrying at the time, never any equipment or other important stuff.

For the uninitiated: When a player kills another player without that player shooting/hitting back, the killer gets a bounty on their head.
And anyone can go kill them without consequences if they want to.
And as far as I know, they cannot see other players on the map as long a they the bounty tag on them, so they are pretty much voulnerable for any bounty hunters out to get them.

I do not like how they handled the physical version. 250mb on the disk, 60gb download for the game. That's bull.
