If anything it was the other way around, the Dallas studio was brought in early on to handle a majority of the fixes and were doing most of the ongoing work. The Austin studio was doing most of the work initially. Bethesda main studios involvement was more of the high level stuff like art direction.

As someone said I usually take these measurements with a grain of salt. Even if it is 20 hours long if they've done the same job they did with New Vegas it will have a lot of replayability (I'm already thinking about how I want my next run through to be). It will also age extremely well so it's...

I don't know how much this will affect the series since it's kind of a Frankenstein's monster type spin-off. If you want to be disgusted with what they've done to the series there's always Fallout 3 and 4 :p I was hoping for more. If Bethesda had gone all in on 76 they probably could have done...

I'm going to say it's a bug because everyone was assuming my gender :-p I didn't want to but I thought the character gen sucked and I didn't want to spend an hour trying to make something

I think the Fallout 1st lynching is exaggerated and as you mentioned since pvp isn't enabled by default it's pretty hard to do anything consequential to another player other than be annoying. It's one of those things where a post gets upvoted on Reddit and it's taken as being more endemic than...

Yeah, so I actually had to restart my game because of this. I was about an hour or so in and an NPC kept referring to me as "ma'am" and I figured it was a bug since I was playing a male character. It turns out the character generator randomizes gender and doesn't distinguish between male/female...

Different strokes for different folks, love her or hate her she gets crazy visibility to a demographic that may not have paid that much attention. The only way stuff like this gets changed is at the government level and the only way that happens is when you can whip the population into a fervor...

I've so far only made it through the character creation before my controller had a stroke. My first impression is the stat selection is pretty cool and it was fun to see that low intelligence would affect dialogue options and that min/maxing your character incurred major penalties. Not sure how...

Hard to say, it depends how you measure impact. Fallout 3 alienated the old fans but was a huge success. I thought Fallout 4 sucked but it way outsold 3 and when I read fan commentary usually seems to be the favourite. Fallout 76 was the worst release by far but isn't part of the main releases...

So I've been listening to his review. Everything he says is legit and he's probably got the best breakdown of the problems that existed when he made the video (I'm reliving early release trauma). The majority of the things he talks about don't actually work that way anymore though because...

I'll probably listen to this when I'm sitting at my desk tomorrow but I spent at least 15 minutes listening to the "gameplay" section and most of the stuff he's talking about no longer works that way. Many of his complaints about shooting mechanics for example have been changed or fixed over...

I'm going to take a stab here and say you probably won't like this game :p but if you actually want to try it wait until Wastelanders and hopefully when its on sale for <$20

This is what I tell everyone, if you hated 3 and 4 then there is nothing in Fallout 76 that can appeal to you. Fallout 76 is very loosely formatted like Fallout 4 as a best comparison. There's nothing wrong not liking those games. This comprises a significant portion of the opinions I read and...

Fallout 76 isn't single player but it doesn't seem like an MMO either, at least not to me and I've played a lot of MMOs. It is a weird frankenstein. People keep mentioning Rags but I haven't seen him, so he's probably buried in a sea of other Youtubers. If he's actually played it and given a...

That's subjective but if someone played Fallout 1 for 2-3 hours and then went on to make several youtube videos reviewing it how much should you actually value their opinion? In the case of Fallout 76 the game isn't even a static entity, it's gone through several major iterations since release...

Yeah some of them have "played" the game but when you watch their stream they're like level 20, something you can get in an evening. Their income revolves around advertising so whatever gets clicks and subscriptions is what their video content is produced for. Youtube algorithms also prioritize...

I didn't buy Fallout 1st :p but since none of you guys play the game and likely neither do most of the youtubers and game journalists writing about it I'm filling in the blanks.

I guess that's where capitalism comes in because it's there and people are willing to pay. It doesn't matter if you could get another game cheaper, a Netflix subscription or the xbox game pass because what they want to play is Fallout 76 and not those things. Also, if someone has disposable...

It is easy and you do get tons of them but there's a finite limit per day/week in addition to a few thousand from account based atom challenges. If you buy them it's about $1 for 100, the subscription is something like .50 for 100. If you only buy one or two items here and there you probably...

It's a rough week in the world of Fallout 76. Reddit and subsequently youtubers and game journalists (who use Reddit as their primary source) signal boost a lot of vocal but not necessarily majority opinions which are countered by the reality in-game. Just anecdotal from myself and a few others...
