They removed the cards and it turned out to be decent game a month later.
I guess when this goes free to play it’ll finally be on par with Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Well hell, for $500 of them it might be worth a trip up here to throw Thumb to do it, haha.

Splinter cell pandora tomorrow multiplayer was a risk with effort that paid off. Fallout 76 is a reskin from a failed studio investment to recoup costs hap hazardly in a genre in which a lot of games do it better (on indie budgets no less).
They didn’t take a risk here. They thought fallout fans were gullible and knowingly tried to cash in on it while laughing all the way to the bank - and it’s backfiring in glorious and deserved fashion.

I don't regret purchasing this... I do regret not waiting to purchase it much cheaper. I bit the early bullet because lots of my single/kidless friends are playing, and the way they consume stuff, it's get on the bandwagon and enjoy the co-op, or forever pug/solo. I get a discount from work, so I only paid 50, but was still too much. To be transparent, I'm salty as hell at no ultrawide support, otherwise I'm craving the new exploration. Not a huge fan of the find the story, breadcrumb trail on phonics approach, but the little I did read in my brief 4-5hrs in the game was enjoyable. It is hard to go back to reading everything, voice over is so predominant now that it is hard to revert. I still remember the first Mass Effect and finding all the voice over codex entries, I fell in love, and ate most of my meals just learning about this awesome game universe. Even just paying 1 or 2 different voice actors to do narrated Fallout themed codex entries, would have breathed some much needed life into this.
FO76 lacks polish, and needs to get a better grip on it's content identity to finish getting some of basic stuff on point. It's a weird game, even just the little that I've played, you can see the little bits of time, care, and attention that I am accustom to, but they took an engine and game format that suffers heavily from bugs when given ample time and resources, and tried to slap dash something together. The results speak for themselves. I'm tentatively eager for updates and bug fixes, so this game can grow into something good, extremely sad that Bethesda forgot that gamers don't really care who does it first, it's who does it the best, so not this.

All I learned from this was that I should have had a child, preferably a son to save me killing teenage boys later in his life, so I not only get a personal chore slave but I could reward them with games for it and then play them. Essentially getting work done at no additional cost. I'd have to teach them how to farm food and weave clothing though.

The civil war era Gatling gun is pretty fun. Uses the same 5mm ammo as a minigun and is slower because you crank it, but each round hits a lot harder. Also got an orbital strike beacon from the Enclave, but to make new ones you need materials only available in freshly nuked zones. On the subject of the Enclave, MODUS has a real Zola vibe from Captain America 2 which I am sure is intentional. On the subject of nukes, the aftermath is really realistic in terms of how it looks. I watched one outside my house window. My house location actually works out also because ghoul/scorched officers with nuke code fragments spawn nearby.
I had to run a quest after to get a military rank. Part of basic training was communist detection. The guilty one was the kid who thought FDR was the best president lol.

Still playing and still having fun. Again maybe it is just the way I approach Fallout games, but 76 is better than FO4 in every aspect of the game. It boggles my mind that anyone could enjoy FO4 and hate 76.
