Fallout 76 Devs Send Out a Big Thanks & a Tease About What's Next

With the launch of Fallout 76 mere days from now, the team is on record to thank its community and its B.E.T.A. testers for their input and support. In addition, readers get a tiny peek at what lies ahead post-launch. "We have an incredible list of updates we've begun work on," the letter begins.

Mensur

If I were them. I would release this in Few months. There is no chance they will fix all the bugs before release.

Avanah

After testing this and watching the Dev progression I think better names suited for this game should have been:

Failout 76
MoneyGrab 76

Here is why:

Sephros

I played the game and enjoy it for what it is. I don't find the game bad like the click bait for views youtubers. 

Mike-McQueen

Still waiting for that refund.

Cuppett5

I enjoyed the beta and can't wait for release. More and more updates will make this game better and all of you will buy it and have to catch up since you hate it so much now. Good day!

Thane

i didn't watch some dumb video, i played it, and i liked it.

so maybe next time you wanna REALLY know if a game is good, try to get those 5€ and buy the pre order

This is Bethesda, they never promised to fix them before release (or if ever) and most gamers (should) know this is their typical M.O.

I certainly have interest in playing 76 and will but my plate is full that i can wait , let it go thru its launch hiccups .. get fixed up a bit, then jump in ..  Im having fun in NV now anyhow

Wizardry

With launch still going as planned with VERY little time in between to actually do anything with the BETA,it's says NO that was not a BETA and NO your not listening or RESPONDING to fans.
It makes for good PR..press though when you say thanks.

Fallout 76 is an unfinished piece of garbage and even if everything was fixed its a empty boring game and we know there will be 6 dlc`s they will ask top dollar for each dlc the only thing that works perfectly is the cash shop!

That doesn't make it good. Bethesda is being given a free pass on shoddy products/lack of QA that the rest of the industry would be burned at the stake for. Standards should be applied evenly or not at all.

So iv made the decision to pass on this one. Not because of the bugs either , I'm the type of person who loves early access games (not that this is), Id rather play something early and deal with bugs than wait a year for a perfect game so this game being a buggy mess doesn't effect my decision to buy.

Here is why I'm passing

1. Its not on Steam, I like all my games in one place, If the game isn't a must buy (which this is not) Im not buying.

2. As iv said many times before this looks like Fallout 4 minus all the cool shit, I love V.A.T.S

3. The idea of playing with others does not enrich my fallout experience, TBH Bethesda games for me have always been about the rewarding single player experience.

4. I want my NPC's back.


5. Not crazy about the setting, yes the graphics are gorgeous but im getting a more wilderness survival vibe with radiated mutants, I want Fallout 3/4 1950's Americana, Its what made me fall in love with the series.

6. Iv just got to many other good games to play, Whats the point of adding another title that I wouldn't be able to invest time into.

This game is the first game to make me lose track of time while Ive played it in a long long time. This hasnt happened to me in a long long time and thats why I play games. How bout you?

i posted my thoughts awhile back about my opinion when it was first announced and they were  showing early gameplay, i felt an still do that they just wanted to copy GTA online and those shark cards.


they saw how successful GTA Online was and said we can do the same, only slightly better and make more money. how many MMO like games exist with guns and nukes? so to them it was easy choice.


am sure their be a million or so people who enjoy this look how many years CoD keeps selling or any of the other shooters, some even were praised as GoTY material.


enjoy it all you want, find depth in the pond all you want, it still a shallow game that your paying  AAA full price for. some people don't need much to be happy and that the market they want to sell to, it's also why developers are trying to jump to mobile, they have very low standards for what good games are their so it's easy money.

This video sums up the game pretty well..

I watched the videos linked in this thread. They are not rants they are quite interesting and give valuable insights.

Played to Level 20 so far, and taking a long and very windy road.

Loved the CAMP, closest thing to UO housing I've experienced in a multiplayer game.
The exploration is of course fun, sneaking through some building, hearing footsteps and Gollum like voices threatening you, great fun. Very satisfying when you come out on top.

I get a bit of a Secret World vibe from this game, but also the Skyrim exploration.

Going to take my time, play it as solo as possible but group at certain events, and live in the moment. Got my money's worth already.
