Fallout 76

Re: Fallout 76

Well, after reading all of that, this is looking like a pass for me. None of that made me feel confident that I could find a way to enjoy the game. If they add offline down the road or allow us to play without having to deal with other human players in the game, I’d probably give it a shot, but with no NPCs, I don’t really see any appeal. This makes me sad. ☹️

Yeah, I'm out. Really not liking this trend. Oh well. Just another hobby passing me by.

Yeah, that’s the way I feel. If games ever really do go the “online only” route, my days of buying new ones are over. To look on the bright side, I’ll be 3 weeks into Red Dead 2 when this releases, so that will soften the blow.

Re: Fallout 76

I'm stoked for this. Already got a few of my buds picking it up so we'll be exploring the ruins of West Virginia together.

Re: Fallout 76

Something else I just thought of. Are you going to have to have Playstation Plus to even PLAY the game? I don't have it because I don't play online. No one should have to pay another 10 bucks a month to play a game that they've already paid at least $60 for.

Re: Fallout 76

I am not writing this off. The setting alone will keep my eye on this, but this simply isn't what I wanted from Fallout and I don't see how they will create a game that will be as good as the single player games are to me. I guess this is sort of there way of creating the Fallout version of The Elder Scrolls Online.

I'm not writing it off, but I'm not really clear how quests work when you don't have NPCs or whatnot to talk to? Just not clear.

I'll most likely end up passing, because I don't have hours available to play with a group currently....I play in short bursts when I find time.

I’m assuming you will need live or plus to play this.

Well, if so, I guess that will make the choice FOR me.

Some more details and answers to some questions asked here in this interview.

VATS is still in but it's real time.
No offline raiding of your CAMP.
Every human in game is a real person, they took out Raiders completely, but only dozens per server so it won't be crowded.
Quests will be given through world triggers, terminals, holotapes, and lots of robots.
Nukes create high level zones (I'm thinking they'll mutate everything in the zone) that will take coordination and high level to take advantage of.
Nukes won't destroy your CAMP and it's easily repairable anyway.
You can die if you stay in the nuke zone (probably a radiation thing)
And Mothman is confirmed.
So much more...

Some good news there. Especially regarding the nukes not destroying everything you've built, only to have some ******* destroy it all with the push of a button.

Re: Fallout 76

Agreed. That was all great news.

Re: Fallout 76

Honestly, the more info I get on the game, the more confused I feel about what exactly it is.

100% not purchasing, that's my favourite part of the FO games is taking on raiders and other 'important' people to assassinate.

Done with fallout until they change that, there is lots of other great stuff coming out anyway - peace!

Exactly. I have no clue how the other people tie into what you do, or how it all works....they really need to give us more info eventually.

Sounds to me like you will have to go here to get this and fight robots along the way. There will also be 11 other humans on the map that can help or be trolls.

OK, you're in luck, it's has been changed. Scorchers are the raider replacement. The Bombs fell so recently, ghouls haven't gone completely feral yet and can still use guns and things.

Even though I'm not an online player much I welcome a new direction for Fallout. The franchise needs new blood. The stories are great but the game engine is so outdated I'd have a hard time buying a FO5 if it just followed the same recipe with some if the same graphics from as far back as FO3. Spin offs aren't going to kill the franchise otherwise Tactics or Brotherhood of Steel would have done that.
