fallout 76

[Chaosphere]

Seems the free to play rumours may have been mistaken.

It's fairly easily available for under a tenner these days, but then again so is a Friday night Kung pao chicken, and I know which I'd choose.

:norty:

I just wasted valuable seconds of my life watching that!!!!
Would rather have eaten a tasty Kung Pao Chicken

buy it on steam and refund it before 2 hours, if necessary.

Everyone has different rigs and different standards of acceptable optimisation.

If a game drops below 20FPS, glitches and can't load textures on a "youtubers" rig with a i9 + 1080ti then i'm not gonna think it's playing well on a "real dMw members" rig (no offence).

Here's another video, from a well known youtuber (massive fallout fan) with amazing gear:
[video=youtube;SjrDbSgB9IU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjrDbSgB9IU&t=851s[/video]

Who is this idiot?  This guy is the reason half my friends wont got to the states. He is not doing the majority of his countrymen any favours.
Shouting through the mic "tell your Mom to shut the f%$k up"  Really? And you actually take notice of him?
I expect that if his rig is running FO76 at 20fps, its probably struggling to cope with his enormous mouth and even bigger ego as my i7 + 1060 doesnt run anywhere near that slow.

Anyways, that aside, the game hasnt been perfect since i paid full price plus beta early doors but overall its behaved and ive enjoyed it. Some things could be better, some things are better so i guess it just depends what you want or expect.
Its nice to see a landscape that isnt trashed completly. Its nice to occasionly run with mates as a team and its nice to explore a new fallout world. its nice to be somewhere familiar allthough different. Its abit like holidays, we want to see all these different places and cultures but inside.... we still hope we can get a good bacon sarnie and a good tea.

I find it cool that the only people you see are real and i dont miss npc's at all. If you are wandering alone it does actually feel like you are the only one left, success.
On the other hand, i help and have been helped by other unknown humans which restores a little faith in humanity. Success. I have also been needlessy killed by humans that probably dont 'get' the game, typical. You only have to watch our loud American friend from the video to know the sorts i mean.  If it was RL, you would have to shoot him to shut him up before the scorched come, lol.

The only downside of this game for me is the building stuff. Its similar again but abit more fiddly and the build limits are still low. But then, if everyone is building small towns, how would it all work? I guess that the loud bloke above has never programed anything and just expects things to work how he wants them too. Yes, there should of been a PTT button but is it really worth fireing f*&ks into someones mother over the comms? Did he mention it only took a couple of weeks and that was sorted in an update? Fixed.


Lastly, i loved the comment "It's fairly easily available for under a tenner these days" like its old, lol. November 11th i believe, thats not quite 3 months :roflmao:

For a tenner, i would say its definitly worth a look. Obviously i cant say how the updates and new content will go but like the lottery, you gotta be in it to win it.

Have fun,
Slider.

Totally agree with you mate, Joe does over react but that's the guy's style, like it or loath it he just does that stuff.

I think the game is fine, I compare it to other open world survivals I've ploughed 100s of hours into and this is quality from the get go.

Yeah it had teething issues, but at least it works.

Picked it up for a tenna recently - thoroughly enjoying it - playing on my own too

£8 on cdkeys, might as well grab it

[TheDvEight]

well worth it at that price imo

[Evilntwisted]

I played it heavily for about 2 months but once I mastered firing the nukes even on my own I got bored as did my friends. Great game and I am sure I will get back into it again.

[Evilntwisted]

I dont think anyone plays it anymore but if you link your bethesda.net account and Steam your get the game for free on Steam when launched on 14th April. (needs to be done before the 12th)

[Whitey]

Just to be clear, you need to own the game on Bethesda.  
I had wrongly thought from reading this, they were giving the game away for free on Steam for linking the accounts but you must own the game already.

[Evilntwisted]

Sorry your right you do have to have the game already. I have played some this weekend and still like it.
