Fallout 76

"Every human in game is a real person, they took out Raiders completely, but only dozens per server so it won't be crowded. "

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 The stories are great but the game engine is so outdated I'd have a hard time buying a FO5 if it just followed the same recipe with some if the same graphics from as far back as FO3.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.

I think most would agree that the engine needed to be scrapped. It's 14 years old if not more. A new, updated engine is what we all wanted. An always online Fallout that removes all human NPCs is not. I'm fine with spinoffs if they don't really interrupt the progress on the next major title in the series, but right now it's not looking like we're even close to a Fallout 5 within the next 3-4 years, so when this is the only Fallout game we'll get in 7-8 year span, it's hard to not complain when it isn't even close to what brought everyone to the franchise.


Like I have stated already, I'm not writing it off. I'll continue to follow the information flow, but I honestly don't see how this game will be a major hit for the franchise based off of the base that plays it. Hopefully this is their way of testing out new features that are going into 5 and are going to implement what is successful into FO5 in what is hopefully on a modern engine.

I'm with most on the no raiders complaint and only humans. This right here also doesn't make me super happy. No punishment is good in some games but when Fallout to me was always "survival-ish" just it removes some of the appeal.

That is just another thing in the long list of info we have about this game that muddies the water. I truly have no idea what they are actually aiming for with this game.

we've gone from wanting a 3 remaster to getting a new game to finding out its online to wishing we got the remaster.
