thank fuck i didnt pay money for this. figured fallout 76 could be fun with friends given that for all the things fallout 4 got wrong, shooting wasn't one of them. but you and your pals pop out of a vault ready for an adventure and just end up punching low level bugs and wall-e's scurrying around that die in less than two hits for an hour or so until you both get bored of wandering around what doesn't look like a post apocalypse and get off to do something else. oh, we saw a couple of players too but couldn't do anything about it because of the game's babyproofing pacifist mode forced onto low level players. i gave the intro cutscene a shot and some npc dialogue but then i was reminded no one at bethesda knows how to write anything that doesn't sound like if every black isle studio employee collectively suffered brain eating diseases. my favorite part of the game was having a point shop and currency shoved in my face before i even found the new game button, and if not that then the fact that there's like 5 different types of bullshit to buy on the steam page
