Apparently, some big changes are coming to the lackluster Fallout 76

Fallout 76 missed the mark on most everything gamers wanted from the game, but Bethesda continues to work on the title with big changes coming in 2019.

How is Fallout 76 lacklustre? Apart from periods of lag I'm having a ball with it, can't put the controller down; the PvP interactions are usually hilarious, the survival aspect keeps the momentum up and the game doles out rewards at a good pace.

Sm00thNinja1938d ago

You're easily entertained is all.

KyRo1938d ago

The game shouldn't exist and I'm not even a Fallout fan (massively overrated series) to realise this. If they wanted MP FO they should of built a game like the past Fallout games but from the ground up with coop in mind.

Wolffenblitz1938d ago

Massively overrated series?? Really?? I guess you're entitled to your opinion, but as a Fallout fan I stayed away from 76. New Vegas was awesome.

KyRo1938d ago

I understand why people like it, the world, the storytelling, the characters etc but that isn't what you play. I just can't look past the bad graphics, laughable animations, clunky controls and the endless bugs.

Nacho_Z1938d ago

Fallout as a series isn't overrated at all if you like adult RPGs. If you're looking for a sick FPS with RPG elements then you'll be disappointed but that's not why people like it.

I don't think an online Fallout or ES is a bad idea because I've often thought it'd be cool to play with friends or meet randoms but the way they implemented it was plain stupid.

OneLove1937d ago

"The game shouldn't exist and I'm not even a fallout fan" lol this statement makes no sense. It would make sense if you were a fallout fan.

More power to you but to most gamers it's not a good game but we all have our preferences

Elwenil1938d ago

It's a little strange how Fallout 76 has gotten almost universal criticism on this site and suddenly, today for some reason, we have a thread full of Fallout 76 apologists. Moderately fishy, I would say.

"can't put the controller down"

It must be glued to your hand then!

nickanasty2061938d ago (Edited 1938d ago )

I have to agree. There is already a ton of content in this game and it is really not as bad as people make it out to be. Sure improvements are needed, but this already shits all over Destiny 2 when it was first released content wise and has easily as much of a story. It's like combining Rust and WoW and Minecraft in a package set in the Fallout universe. Shooting feels good like Fallout 4 and traversal and discovery in the game feel like Breath of The Wild. I get why people are complaining, but I'm having fun. Please release more content and keep this game alive. I like where this could go in the future. Most people who are complaining haven't even put more than a couple hours into the game to get used to everything. I will tell you from experience that this game is infinitely better on PC than console though. Console suffers from CPU bottleneck issues that may be causing the majority of the upheaval. Was gifted it for PC and it plays way better.

***has easily as much of a story***

Ooof. You're on your own with that one.

***I get why people are complaining, but I'm having fun***

More power to you.

***Most people who are complaining haven't even put more than a couple hours into the game***

Exactly how many hours are needed to know it's a lackluster game with major issues? I guess we should ignore the many posts on the subreddit as well, which is pretty much filled with hardcore players tracking the issues of the game?

thexmanone1938d ago

I agree, its a lot of fun. In fact i find myself playing this game more then RDR2.

chris2351937d ago

let me guess: your first videogame ever?

JesusBuiltmyHotrod1937d ago

Joke post? The game is a mess. You having a BALL with it is the dumbest defence there is. Good for you,. As a product compared to it's competitors Fallout does nothing well and has many half baked ideas and execution. Please.

Patricko1937d ago (Edited 1937d ago )

Good bait, but downvote is a downvote.

Fallout 76 should have been delayed.

Tross1938d ago

In a year full of excellent releases including RDR2, Fallout 76 should have been excellent as well, but Bethesda clearly didn't get the memo. I also really dislike this tactic where companies release some lackluster title and then add stuff to it later to try and make it better, then complain that we don't give the game a proper chance when we don't exactly leap at the opportunity to come back to it. Here's an idea: how about making games that are worth playing from day one? Is that really such a difficult concept for some devs to grasp? Rockstar had no problem releasing a great title at launch. All that tells me is that some companies are more worth supporting going forward over others.

Oschino19071938d ago

Except RDR online launched in nearly as bad of a technical state (still has issues) while having barebones content with serious issues concerning griefers. I can say outside of technical issues FO76 had loads more content at launch and griefing is barely existent outside of some rare cases or you have yourself set to be open to PvP in game instead of pacifist.

I have had both since launch and concerning online I have put well over 100hrs more into FO76 compared to RDR online. I expect both games to get better and add tons more content down the road but I don't see why Rockstar gets a pass and Bethesda is treated like pure evil when IMO I am far more worried about the future of RDR online being balanced and fair concerning the grind and pay to win.

rainslacker1938d ago

RDR2 released as added content to what is probably one of the biggest games in terms of content of the year, which is what a lot of people paid for. Plus, the RDR2 online was always said to be releasing in beta form.

Not going to discuss what I think of RDR2 itself, but the game that people paid for isn't RDRO, it's RDR2 SP....with the online to come later.

dumahim1937d ago

Isn't RDR2 online still in beta?

JesusBuiltmyHotrod1937d ago

No it is not, RDR 2 online has some issues but not even close to Fallout, give your head a shake.

Kabaneri1938d ago

I'll pick it up for $15 after it gets all the inevitable updates.

neutralgamer19921938d ago

Pick it up in few years like no msm sky once they have added more/better content

maelstromb1938d ago (Edited 1938d ago )

Lackluster doesn't even begin to describe the travesty and train wreck that F76 represents for Bethesda. I hope it sinks the dev finally so that a development studio WAY more talented and capable can give the Fallout series the attention it rightly deserves. Call me a troll, but I've been a lifelong Fallout fan since Black Isle's 1st game and the only thing Fallout here is in the name... otherwise this turd deserves to share the same fate as Atari's E.T.; buried in the southwest desert where some poor schumcks will dig it up 50 years from now only to make a documentary about how horrible it was.

KillZallthebeast1938d ago

Lol I was compairing 76 to e.t. just the other day

DJStotty1937d ago

only a child would want Bethesda to fail

maelstromb1931d ago

LOL... OK. I've found that fanboys like you can't come up logical arguments so you revert to shaming those who do not share your opinion. I have my opinion and you have yours. But it's OK, go ahead and continue to pay for and support Bethesda's borderline unethical money-making practices and unfinished, inexcusably embarrassing products.

Missing a lootable item was part of the game. Random and chance helped make Fallout so much fun and interesting. This just makes it lazy and disconnected to the simulated events. An interesting feature, but Where are all these veterans that agree so hard?

gigoran820h ago

I'm a fallout veteran since the release of the original, and I don't agree.
