    I thought Fallout 4 was good. As a first-person looter shooter. Shitty story-line and same problems as every game on the engine; but still great fun strictly as a shooter. Setting is on point, it’s easy to get immersed in the world, all that. It just isn’t a great role-playing game nor does it have a super compelling story after Kellogg’s fight.

    Even Fallout 76 is kinda good? Like if it wasn’t for the whole multiplayer angle, it could have been a good Fallout 4-2.

    Starfield is such an anamoly. It’s technically (and by that I mean the tech itself) one of the best releases they’ve ever had. Shit runs smooth as butter even on unsupported hardware. But then the game itself is just… So boring. There’s no life to the world like in every single one of their other games outside the major cities. Most of the universe is just empty, and even with the RNG POIs, because they are pre-made things that can just pop up anywhere, they have literally no environmental story-telling. And it also kinda feels like they lied about being sci-fi fans because every reference is as generic as possible. It’s like someone who has never seen sci-fi in their life came up with everything in the game after a single night of barely paying attention to the top 10 sci-fi movies they found on a random BuzzFeed list.

      My biggest gripe still is the planet that has an absolute embargo on it, ships stopping anyone from entering, a planet obliterated by the monsters, frozen over. You land, do the mission, and then right outside there’s multiple POI with settlers just casually living, pirate bases just generically there. Like they couldn’t even stop the POI’s from spawning on the one planet that should have been abandoned.

      Oi. Fallout 76 is good, at least now. It’s basically just the zany-ness of fallout, with better enviro storytelling than fallout 4 and just pure fun. Nowhere near RPG, but it didn’t aim to be an RPG from the beggining, just a fun multiplayer game.

        No. Nobody was asking for Fortnite 76. Single player is all I want out of Fallout and they failed us.

          Fortnite 76

          The only thing fortnite and fallout 76 have in common is shooting and building lol. Where comparing them is still a big stretch.

          Also, a lot of people wanted coop fallout and while Fallout 76 isn’t exactly a single-player turned coop, it has all the fun of coop and fallout.

          Hell, people even wanted fallout multiplayer. Just fallout multiplayer. There’s a reason multiplayer mod exists for New Vegas.

          So yeah, sorry but load of bull.
