Unpopular opinion: Fo76 is a really decent game

[SepSlither]

I mean maybe there might be some like minded people :) and before anyone tries proving me wrong saying that the game had 0 content back on launch or anything, I’ve been playing since BETA and racked up over 600 hours on Bethesda and 300 hours on Steam.

I agree 100% its a DECENT game. Very rough start, for sure salvaged since then. And hopefully better in the future cause a fallout multiplayer was always gonna be cool.

If you were talking literally a year ago today... yes that'd be unpopular

since wastelanders its kinda just the way everything thinks

they salvaged a waste of a game and made it good

its been super well reviewed AFTER the wasteland update but its dilluted by the pre wasteland update reviews

I think I wouldn’t mind Fallout 5 to be multiplayer but in a co-op form. Like you know how Far Cry has always been single player / co-op? That would be a great way for future mainstream Fallout games.

Yeah wasteland only put me off a tiny bit on launch because my frames were absolutely terrible but before the first brotherhood of steel update they fixed the performance majorly.

I just feel bad for those who refused to give it a chance and missed out on the game.

I skipped last season and came back to quite a few nice changes that made it even better.

It is really enjoyable and immersive now. You won't get bored. The only bad thing about it is that it require relatively new hardware to properly play it without fps issues, and there are still a few crash and bugs but despite that is really entertaining.

its ok. Its all we got so...

Its worth the money, but it really falls flat when it really embraced the worst aspects of *Insert grindy MMO here* and *Insert not fortnite here*.

It is a good game in my opinion with utterly incompetent optimization. I keep returning to the game hoping to find that the developers have actually spent time optimizing the game instead of working on new content to drag people into the Atomic Shop and always I am disappointed. That you can not get any kind of consistent performance out of the game (even locking it to 30FPS gives dips in frame rate) is a joke and ruins any kind of goodwill that has been built since the horrific launch. On a 5700XT with 16Gigs of ram and an 8th gen i5, I shouldn't have to be digging into custom ini's to get solid performance at 1440P.

. . .the worst thing, the game runs like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dream in Vault 76 and suckers you in to getting excited about what you will be experiencing once you leave the vault.

It would be decent if Bethesda put all their effort into it.. There are so many bugs and server issues and hacking going on that the decent aspect is overshadowed by its flawed gameplay..

Also the loot weight mechanics really turn it into a chore for many of us.

+1

My favorite of the fallout series; remarkable mainly in that I hate PvP, am disgusted by the divergence from RPG styling, despise any other MMO I've played, and find most shoot and loots to be frivolous trash. Cheers.

Yes and no.

It was pretty bad at first. Then they added the purveyor. Then you had the gold items added. So it has been improving bit by bit.

This last patch with the ability to craft legendary pieces of gear of the type you want is a drastic improvement. Sure it might be an RNG crap shoot to get the exact stats you want, but at least you can get the right type.

Now the hacking part I agree on 100%, the main problem was when they allowed all those people to keep duped legacy weapons. Think about it, Diablo II from like the 90s could detect duped items. The problem was with such a bad release they could not afford to anger the player base taking them away even though most of them knew they were receiving duped items.

Then you have the ridiculously hacked weapons which kinda irritates me that it still happens. However I understand that importing a single player engine to multiplayer was a bad idea security wise. A true MMO usually has preventative security built right into the code form the start. If you are familiar Red Dead Redemption II did the same single to multiplayer port move and issues far worse with hacking.

Exactly. Fallout with a more personal, persistent and continuing storyline is a damned no brained. Yet, what did we get out of Quakecon? ANOTHER release of Skyrim. Optimization for FO76? Nope. But sure we'll release another version of a game that is on everything including Alexa for gods sake.

The cash shop must be pulling in some crazy cash because otherwise I can't see how this title would still exist otherwise.

Absolutely, Its the second best 3d fallout for me. Im of the opinion that this is the Fallout 1 of this generation of fallout games
