Bethesda: "Would you like to buy this hot, salty poopball?"
Me: "No. Thank you." <walks into the sunset with head held high, being patted on the back by wellwishers>
 
The rating is 52 based on 39 critics.

Who are these people on Metacritic? Does Bethesda pay the site to give them at least a halfway decent rating?

Metacritic? Doubt it. Metacritic works a little oddly https://www.metacritic.com/about-metascores

Critics themselves usually aren't "paid" to give a good review because if they get caught both sides can be in trouble. Usually they get special treatments or gifts to help sweeten them as far as I know. Of course there is never an agreement to review the games well but if you're getting free shit you're less likely to shit talk someone.
 
Here's the thing about FO76 for me. You how a lot of times if someone tells you something is bad and you should avoid it, that just makes you all the more curious about it? It's like when I was warned by multiple people about how bad The Human Centipede is. I watched it. It was terrible but I couldn't look away. And then I watched the sequel.

I'll likely keep my money though. If it wasn't MP, I would have probably already caved. So thanks, Bethesda. You did something to keep my urges in check.
 
I really like this video, but then again I like most of Noah's. Found it interesting that he preferred this game to Fallout 4, just because it this game is trying to pretend it's an rpg.
I do also appreciate his attempts to find something, anything good about it, though he ultimately states that there are so many ways in which Bethesda simply did not care about lore, and that although the game is fun, it's pointlessly fun and makes a mockery of what the series was originally so good at achieving (amongst many, many other things), that transportation into another world that was ultimately beleivable.
Nice to see a critique of the game that explains why it's ultimately bad rather than just meming and making fun (though the game deserves that as well.)

Wait a minute... there's freaking dragons in this game? What even is this blasphemy??? And Scorchbeast? Now it's gone from bad to ridiculous...

Scorchbeast is basically a Skyrim Dragon, yeah. Same flying pattern, same attacks, just same everything.

It's hilarious that they reused what is arguable some of the worst dragons in gaming history.
 
I just can't anymore with this. I was willing to throw Bethesda a bone even with FO4, but from what I've seen recently, with the leaking of personal information and being so lazy they recycled material from one of their other games, there is no point. It's obvious they don't give a shit about the fanbase.

You guys earned a new club member. I will bring booze.

Welcome aboard.

The more merrier. Most of us were burnt by bugthesda. For me personally, notfallout 4 was the last straw.

Still, You can look forward to the Frontier and such.

And this is after their 40 something GB day one patch and beta testing.
At launch you had a better chance of getting a working game if you put the cardboard placeholder disc you get into your disc drive than downloading the real game.
 
Lol, and here I am playing the first one for the first time. It's amazing that a game that came out when I was 7 years old is much better than this. I'm off to find the water chip!
 
It's not so much the number of fixes, it's not unusual for online games to have a lot of fixes but they are usually small stuff, like a missing testure here and there or small glitches. So that's really nothing surprising. But, the kind of fixes that's the real schock here. I mean they are fixing stuff that should have been working like months before the release. Gaming breaking bugs, that anyone would have simply noticed during the development really.

Team PVP: When attacked by a player who is on a team, the target will now correctly enter mutual PVP with the entire team upon returning fire to any of the aggressor’s teammates. If the target was also on a team, returning fire will begin mutual PVP between both teams.

Are you kidding me? If a team attacks a team it starts pvp team vs team? Well no shit, and this is a fix, you say? HOW ELSE WOULD YOU FUCKING DO THAT?

Were players supposed to line up facing eachothers and each fire a shot? Is this squaredance76?
 
The devs over there should probably look into retirement homes.

Todd Howard reminds me of someone that would attend his family reunion specifically to try to scam his relatives out of money.
