This has been a long time coming tbh, its time Bethesda takes long hard look at what they have become. As of late their games are lacking soul & passion. Some parts are always redeemable, but the overall package is still severely lacking. They have been way too contempt & just coasting by with little repercussion. I hope they're taking this as a chance to redeem themselves. I'll be keeping an eye on their future titles, but very apprehensively.

They apparently don't think very much about us at all considering the latest developments. This PR disaster train continues.

This game isn't half bad if you play it with friends. But I shouldn't have to be tied down to my friends schedules. I should be able to have a good experience with friends or not.

Is 76 making money?  If so they may not listen to anyone.  Fallout 4 was apparently a huge success financially, so the complainers there will probably be completely ignored too.  They don't care about being liked.

Edit: Also I find it darkly amusing that real people usually can't come close to the deeper experience of computer-controlled npcs. That alone is why I rolled my eyes when Todd said that each person you met would be a real person -- that's not a good thing, necessarily. Real people often make for some of the worst-written npcs imaginable.

Yes, so true, so true..

I've refrained from commenting too much on this, because quite frankly it didn't impress and I didn't intend on buying....this just seals the deal in that regard

@jacoboriley Just watched Yong on it as well, like i said in another thread: It seems like every 2 days a new "hold my beer" moment comes from Fallout 76.

This is beginning to be a lot more like put the beer down and grab the whiskey bottle.....

Just watched this. Heres another one: Canvas Bag replacement will take 4-6 months to get to customers.

Definitely the whiskey bottle, maybe onto tequila next?

They just keep digging a hole for themselves deeper & deeper, with no end in sight.

Those ATOM shop "deals" are just beyond ridiculous, Merry Christmas! from your "friends" at Bethesda. *facepalm*

Is anyone going to try and port the Pip-Boy and vault suit design to Fallout 4? Only got 76 for those, the game itself is trash.

It's gotta be done from scratch, the guy incharge of nifskope is able to open 76 files but won't update his program to the public as he doesn't want people ripping assets from 76 illegally.

The program is open-source but it seems no one else has figured out how to do it.

Yongyea's a pretty big tool to be honest. I believe lately he posted a video about the new Spiderman game giving away a free suit for the holidays while also comparing it to how overpriced Bethesda's Atom Shop microtransactions are... (Very little correlation, should've just been a video about Sony giving away a free suit, but he drags Bethesda into it because hey - That sells.)

Even though, Y'know...
He's already made an entire video covering these exact microtransactions before...
And admits in the video that this is old news by bringing up the eighteen dollar 'Blue' skin...
And artificially extends the video to ten minutes for extra ad revenue with unrelated gameplay...

Shrier was pretty correct when he called Yong a provocateur, though I would've added 'Vulture' ontop of that.
I'd rather watch LegacyKilla or the Quartering.

I'm very much a cynic when it comes to youtube vids and news....always with a large grain of salt. I know people that are very much enjoying the game despite the issues and good for them....but I'm out. Actually to be honest, I was never really in. MMO is not my thing at all
