Oh fallout 76 where do I start?
The only reason this game is at a 2.5 for me is the vast improvements that they have made in the past few years, and kudos to that dedicated fanbase that kept the game alive. I'm not sure that I can ever forgive Todd Howard and the rest of Bethesda for the micro transactions they so desperately shoved in our faces. I think that people forget how we looked at Todd before this game (and before the 100000 Skyrim re-releases) as a god of gaming that only produced clunky charming and fun masterpieces.
I remember watching the E3 for this game live and staying up late on school nights to get any new information on Bethesda and their games. I was soooo pumped for this game to drop, I mean who wasn't, they had nukes that you could launch at your friends. I was skeptical of how the no NPC system would work I was sure that It would be fine.
I pre ordered (a physical copy) this god forsaken game, and convinced a few of my friends to do the same so that we could play the betas. They weren't even betas, they didn't change shit from them and the main launch.
It was a dull empty world where all the lore came from holo tapes and terminals. It was a mega grind to get anything in the game, and the whole "players are your NPCs" that Todd so valiantly pushed was BS. If there was mandatory proxy chat this might've worked.
Anyway, I haven't picked it back up but I plan to once I get back from college and have the time to explore their new updates. I really hope to love this game.
