If you suffer from motion sickness, play in third person. It really makes a difference . I won't address any of your opinions. I've been playing the game since the launch/ beginning and I dumped Fallout 4 for it. It was liberating not to have console commands and learn how to get good enough. Nowadays I play with 2 different accounts at the same time on PC (Steam, different machines, different accounts), cause I have a specific niche inside the niche. You do you. I'm happy doing what I do.
I love how HelloFresh advertises they save you a trip to the grocery store when then specifically ask you to still buy certain things from the grocery store lol. Plus, you'll likely have to go anyway for snacks, toiletries, etc.
No marketing script has ever convinced me more NOT to buy a product than Hello Fresh ads tbh. The continuous lie that they save you money is crazy. Convenient? Maybe. Fresh/cheap? Rarely
8:50 Exactly how I feel. Much like Starfield, the quests you get from the bar have you running. and running. and running. and running. Whereas the 1 player Fallout games try to keep you entertained constantly, F76 tries to keep you logged in constantly. There's DEFINITELY a difference between those 2 things.
i love playing games with my boyfriend so having a fallout game we both can play together more than makes up for the games shortcomings, we do quests together, help each other out in instanced areas, etc. It may not be the best fallout on the market but its the only one with working multiplayer.
If you go into Fallout 76 thinking it will be Fallout 4, NV, etc. YOUR GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTED. If you approach the game more as an MMO you'll probably like it.
There is nothing MMO about it, it's essentially a barebones single-player game forced into multiplayer. It's worse than a fking Morrowind MP mod. Pure dogshit.
Actually, having a blast as a solo player in 76. most of the actual mechanics are far superior to FO4. the crafting/recepie/cooking system especially. Great community who mostly leave you alone if your solo wonderer. Playing a no perk no armour, no workbenches at camp to make it a hardcore survival experience and I'm lovin it.
As I allude to in the video, we filmed this about a week ago (before the FO4 update). The Fallout 4 Next-Gen update ended up being... Disappointing... to say the least. That video is already up on the channel :) THANKS FOR WATCHING!!
My friends grew up playing fallout but i never did until now just turned 22 and started with fallout 3 and im loving it, don't know why i never played it when it was younger
If you like Fallout 3 then you'll love New Vegas next. I was in the same boat when I was a teen when FO3 came out, and I devoured the game, absolutely fell in love. Then I read that New Vegas was being developed in Game Informer magazine and I was super hype for that and it delivered. Enjoy 3 and New Vegas!
@@EchoLeague2 my update is I beat fallout 3 and all the dlc but to be real the last few hours of the game and all the post game stuff felt like such a slog it was like bullet sponge after bullet sponge, i was kind of disappointed overall but about to start new vegas
the Fallout1s stuff in the Shop you show is all skins (the stuff that costs 15 dollars WITH Fallout1st suscripton, its just that you have the ability with Fallou1st to get skins from Past Seasons) The Stuff that u get with Fallout 1st that is kinda game changing, is the free stuff. That is the Scrap Box and the Ammo Box. Then you also get the Private server, and 1600 Atoms per month. All that other stuff in the Shop you can buy with atoms, like the Fusion core charger, or the scrap robot. Its mostly fair balanced and you get atoms a lot if you just play the game for a while. Also you get a lot of free offers in the Atom shop and then you have that kind of battlepass that also gives you a lot of free stuff (also atoms).
Honestly there are some really cool new questline in F76, the Wastelanders Questline rly starts at level 20 (you have to have that level to engage with the factionquests) in search for the Vault Gold, especially the Questlines you do for the factions, hence Raiders and Settlers are quite interesting. You are in one quest faking beeing a slave in a gladiator arena, on the other Quest you are infiltrating a chinese espionage underground base full with chinese ghouls to get the plans for the stealth armor. Then you have the Brotherhood Questline where you are uncovering that some "kind" of "organisation'" is still deducting science experiments and a threat to humanity. Here you also can decide to follow Paladin Rhamani or Knight Shin, one wants to be more helpfull to society and liberal, Shin wants to follow the strict orders of the brotherhood. Then you got a new Questline that will lead you to a family of an ex mobster, where the daughter is addicted to the stuff they call "the devils blood" and you have to help her. The big new update will also introduce a new main Questline, regarding Vault63 and a new kind of Ghouls. It even have a full new area to explore in the south with new Enemies and a new Bossfight (3 giant robos, with different kind of attacks, you have to fight all at once in a kind of Arena)
I came back after 6 years and went and did the whole brotherhood of steel quest line in fallout 76. I did definitely enjoy it and then started the enclave missions, which didn’t have as much to offer but doing those quest lines really hooked me. With the update coming out this summer with another quest line and area to explore it makes me a lot more enthusiastic about the new direction the game is going.
Did you play any of the added content? You said it got updated with new narrative content and NPC’s but then you talk about how you’re only level 10 which means you haven’t even played the base game, not to mention the new main quests, expansions and other stuff they added.
That would require him to actually put time into playing the game and get to a point of the new content can't have that when he's gotta release the same videos every week
Seeing Fallout in the news makes me happy to see. The vibe in this universe is so unique and captivating. I just wish the game series was handled better. By the time FO5 drops, there could potentially be people doing their taxes who weren't alive for the FO4 release. As good as the show was, I hope there are more game releases before FO5 comes around. Something between then and now has to happen and I hope it isn't just this show or FO76.
If BGS really want to keep the series in-house I hope they expand into multiple teams. It'll be better to rotate Fallout, Elder Scrolls and different IPs between 2 teams rather then making players wait almost 20 years for a sequel is ridiculous.
I also recommend the game "the invisible", it's a retrofuturistic Explorer set on the planet Mars. It's first person but not really a shooter. Amazing atmosphere
Since returning after watching the show, I've been enjoying it more than I did a few years ago. Even though I play almost exclusively solo, I feel it's a welcome addition to the universe and a game worth checking out to play alone or with friends. The most enjoyable part for me is the public events that show up every few minutes. Wonderful way to get in touch with the community
Bro explained from 6:00 to 6:30 why that's irrelevant. The game lacks many of the tools and MMO uses to make raids and multiplayer interesting in an MMO, to the point its just cooperative Fallout, except if YOU tried playing the cooperatively, it odnes't function because Bethesda gave up on the MMO ide and just made it a singleplayer server. Although I do agree, this is a clickbait video and Luke is quite clearly phoning this shit in. Seriously all of them are nearly 22-23 minutes on the dot. Doens't change his point that 76 is a game with an identity crisis that is saddled with the lode stone around its neck of always online multiplayer that can't effectively use its medium to fulfill that promise.
I re downloaded F76 about 2 weeks ago and now I’m 200+ hours in working on my unyielding 3star god rolls and a bloodied railway with vats bonuses. 😊 God it’s good now.
I can't bring myself to play it. It's flabbergasting that it's a game not made in the early 2000s because everything is so clunky and ugly and shitty-feeling. The gunplay is atrocious and the hit registration is even worse. The quest design is bottom-of-the-barrel-tier and some quests don't even work properly or are so buggy they're nearly impossible to complete. I tried to give it a chance, but I'd rather just play New Vegas over and over.
They tried to make a DayZ, Connan, or Ark, "like" game in the Fallout universe, when we already have games like DayZ, Connan, and Ark. The people that generally play Fallout games play for a particular reason, and when you pull out everything that Fallout gamers like except for the settings, well then you have a different game with a Fallout skin. BUT, I'm super glad they did do a 180 and developed the Wastelanders expansion. It definitely brought me back to the game.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that though. I'd love a co-op style fallout with building mechanics and quests. I just don't want one like f76 designed around microtransactions and scummy mechanics. I don't care for pvp at all but the pve side to that really interests me. I'm just tired of the bethesda grind and f76 monetised the grind.
the "delay" with shooting and menus/interacting is gone when you're on your own server (fallout 1st) or on a server with barely any people... which is a shame you have to pay to get fallout 4's responsiveness
Fun fact, I actually payed £175 for my edition of Fallout 76, power armour helmet an all, still have my crappy nylon bag too, not once actually played it, don’t even know what happened to my copy of the game as I honestly can’t remember. Don’t regret it one bit, memorabilia and whatnot…
I think the thing that would fix 76 for me is if they let players play solo offline WITHOUT having to pay $100 a year. If they released mod tools in tandem this would open the game up more and extend its life.
Dude you’re hardly 10 minutes into the game here.. I think if you’re going to post a video like this you should take some time to actually engage with the new updates and systems yeah? You literally walked out of the vault, walked down the hill, and started recording your video. Wild man. Wild.
A little note if you're on pc like me and also get nauseous at the kinda sluggishness, there is a fix if you look up how to get rid of the input lag, it helps a lot and makes it far more playable, ive been enjoying it recently only because of that fix.
I couldn’t make out through more than 5 minutes of this video. Between the jammed in advertising and how long it took to get to a point, I tapped out. Better luck next vid
Once I realized Fallout 76 was a MMO I enjoyed it so much more. The game is 10x more fun with friends. If I were playing solo, I’d just go on the mainline Fallout games
One correction Luke when you go into a building with quest npc it's a private instance so even if you could kill the people inside it wouldn't affect anyone else
the one thing with fallout 4/76 combat is they somehow just mess up their colliders, like a good 20% of shots especially with snipers dont do anything because i guess there is invisible geometry between me and the enemies head? also the aiming just feels bad, i am talking the feel itself
Luke really be on of the most blatant UA-cam grifters I’ve seen in a minute lmao. Sure everyone jumps on trends but bro. Always finding the latest grift and has no idea what he talks about. He’s famous for a 7 hour critique of Witcher 3 where he just recaps the games events lmao.
I remember thinking the bartering prices were really unfair when I played a few years back. To buy ammo or stimpacks would be hundreds of caps, but selling a gun would be like 10 caps.
I still think Bethesda not leaning into 76 as a Rust-lite experience is so disappointing. This game could've been an epic alternate to classic fallout and instead is just a mundane imitation of the Bethesda formula.
Fallout fans hate that kind of game though. They are generally an antisocial bunch. When they hear the game has other players, they instantly hate it lol.
@@gametime2473 oh I know, I stopped playing around the time the community began pushing to get every iteration of pvp removed from the game. It's a shame but whatever, I'm glad there are people that still enjoy it.
I really like fo76 but holy cow. Probably 25% of my time is spent either going through my inventory and stash box trying to figure out what i can keep and what I have to get rid of to keep my weight under the limit. The fact that you have to pay to geg unlimited junk and ammo storage is outrageous
i'm dissapointed at bethesda like everybody else and do like the occasional negative bethesda video or bethesda video in general. but even i can't ignore the fact that luke is REAAAAALLY milking bethesda hard for content. like he milks it harder than EA milks fifa. the cow has basicly become hollow at this point.
The "car sickness" nausea is caused by your eyes and hands feeling/seeing different things, and the two signals collide in the brain ... badly. Lag - especially a laggy response to motion input like strafing, jumping, shooting, etc. - gives me instant nausea / vertigo. I recently noticed this when I tried to return to The Division 2 on my old XB1X a few weeks ago. There's a NOTICEABLE lag between moving or pulling the trigger and the screen responding to that input. Can't do it. I think Destiny was the first FPS that I've never had any motion sickness issues with - it's super-responsive in that way.
Constant update is a strength, agree. But it is a strength best unleashed now, or follow the first year of disturbance, sorting direction and kicking things into a working order but it is smooth sailing from there recipe. I mean Helldivers 2 got their shit sorted in less than a year and it is a game with so much moving parts. It's possible. Not 5-6 years later.
I wish they improved the coop side of the experience, for example allowing people to progress in the story by doing the same dungeon and giving players in a party the option to build a camp together
Also inspired by the show, I finally decided to try out 76 on my Series X the other day. Encountered 3 game-breaking bugs and a hard crash in the first twenty minutes of playing. Kept trying for another half hour or so before giving up. With no overarching story to pursue, I couldn’t care about any of the random radiant fetch quests the various NPC’s started throwing at me. Completely mystified by the milieu that’s been saying “it’s better now.” On supposedly native hardware, that was the opposite of my experience to the point of hilarity.
You really have no shame 😂 All you do is regurgitate whatever public sentiment is at the time. Not surprised considering the reviews you plagiarized before.
Fallout 76 is quite enjoyable, especially with friends. After hours and hours in F4, it's nice to play with friends. I recommend it to any fan who wants to do Fallout, group style.
This video is top tier explaining who this game is for vs who it’s not for. Also Luke’s credits and criticisms of the game were fair and valid. Too many “is 76 good” videos you can easily tell they still don’t understand what 76 is supposed to be and clearly never put the time into the game to find out. (Reforge gaming, smh) End game 76 players obviously get the most out the game instead of campaign enthusiasts. If you like looter shooters, camp building, in game economy, finding valuable resources, joining world boss fights, and the Seasons battle pass then there’s plenty of casual fun to be had.
If most of the Fallout 1st stuff was free, or like a 1 time purchase it would be enjoyable. But the very limited inventory is so annoying especially since there aren't any companions to take some of the load off so you can deposit or sell. The perk cards are cool, but if you want to build something it takes 50+ levels just to potentially have the right cards (I really wish there was an in game preview of all the card perks available). I like the weapon repair system, but its limited by the storage/weight limits. So many things in F76 are like that, cool concepts that would work if it wasn't choked by dumb unnecessary limitations.
@@xman777b They made an online game that limits the amount of resources you can have. Then they decided to sell you unlimited space (Something that you would have in a single player game). Then they also decided to sell you the option to play solo (Something you would be able to do in a single player game)
I loved the Fallout series, and have played every edition to the series. When 76 came out, I quit it within 2 hours. After the series and positive word of mouth, I returned to 76 and haver already spent dozens of hours enjoying the game in a whole new light. The game IS improved. Will it be for everyone? No. However, if you like post apocalytpics stuff, if you like MMO experiences, and you want a game you can play solo or with friends -- then I feel like I can confidently say it's an option. If you play on PC though, make sure to look up the post from IGN about how to remove the 60 FPS frame lock so you can enjoy it at 120+ frames. It makes the game so much smoother. I think it will fix the problem Luke mentions here about the engine feeling sluggish.
Oh, I hear you about framerate nausea, my stomach churns if it's less than 20 fps, and after about 15 minutes I have to stop and lie down to quell the dizziness. It's one of the reasons I just can't play FPS games, even though I'd love to. Ironically, I was working in QA around the time of the PS1 to PS2 transition and a lot of PS1 games were 15-20fps,. I would regularly have to go lie on the Test sofa and recover from vertigo. You won't get any derision from me about it!
The problem I have with fallout 76....well is that it is fallout 76 lol it is like they took fallout 4 and badly shoe horned multiplayer into it, if it was a new Vegas style singleplayer game set where it is but made for that exclusively I likely would have liked it so much more. They can add content fix bugs but in the end even if it's good content like with npcs there is still that wrapper around it
@@gametime2473 There are a few people on the internet who like to gain hatred for something early on, and then spend their time hating it online rather then checking to see if the thing they hated changed
I definitely wanted more of a story fix, so I turned to Fallout 4 once again. Ended up trying the new start mod to get a different perspective on the story, it’s quite nice
I think it's funny... I love Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), but hate Fallout 76... But to be honest I also hated ESO when it 1st launched. Fallout 76 on the other hand, even after half a decade of updates, I still can't stand the gameplay, story, lore, etc... It feels like a Fallout Theme Park, or a "Fallout" skin game rather than a real Fallout world/game. The whole thing just feels odd. Which is the worst part of it...
Bethesda tough players would be eager to kill each other, instead pvp in 76 is basically non-existent. Funny how it turned out to be one of the most supportive and friendly communities in all of gaming.
You have to talk about the battle royale mode which is insanely fun. The thing that did make me mad was the ammunition packs. That's where my credit card stopped.
normal people: "yeah the show was kinda fun" the "true" fallout fans: "NOOOOO THEY MISSED THIS ONE DETAIL OF THE LORE, SHOW IS TRASSSSHHHHHHHH UNWATCHABLEEEE"
Played like 200 hours about 1-2 years ago and enjoyed it, they improved it greatly and nowadays its even better, its a solid game right now, they really turned the game around which is nice to see. The price for the stuff in the atomic shop and the subscription is ridiculous though, absurdly overpriced.
its kinda nice to hear someone say "This game is just not designed for me" and call it there. I think so many serise are so scared to make spinoffs and such because they fear the backlash. Like not every fallout game has to be the exact same for the the same demographic.
If you play they give you tons and tons of free atoms. Don’t waste them use them wisely I suggest the fusion core recharger it absolutely amazing and ik ik ik there is a legendary that makes it so you don’t have to use that much. But let’s remember how long it takes to even possibly get that legendary. for those just starting out they want to use power armor to and this will let you do that without a worry at all best investment I got makes the game so much better
Its funny you say that you liked that there was no npcs on launch because that was actually one of the main reasons i didnt buy the game at launch on top of the bugs
I enjoy the game, it’s like a comfort game. I get off work and my days work is done and I just wonder the West Virginia mountains and collect gear and meet people and chill. It’s definitely different than other fallout games but it’s probably my most played fallout at this point and this is all coming from someone who hated this game on launch and got a refund when it came out. I only gave it a second shot like 8 months ago cause it’s free in game pass
Same. Playing with my brother atm, and having a lot of fun. Only paid $8 for the game, and I've more than got my money's worth back lol. That mistress of mysteries quest line!
I think 76 could have been a good game if they 1, never had the preorder controversy. 2, had a better pvp system. Imo they should have had dedicated PVP, PVE and PVPVE servers instead of initializing combat through a menu. 3, had NPCs from the beginning bc without them the game is pretty boring even with a friend. And 4, fix the OUTRAGEOUS prices for private servers and the atomic shop. I would love to see a normal Fallout game with co-op
Been playing it quite a bit for the exact same reasons and having quite a bit of fun overall. While it is a lot better now it is still depressing that even after 6 years of fixes, improvements and added content it still is very buggy…
Have played FO76 probably about 50-60 hours this month. It has the same problem as all online games with in game purchases. I am starting to lose interest because I basically am stuck halfway through the main story with a pretty severe wall. I would have to grind from level 50 to level 75 to make any real progress and I'm not sure I want to do that. Daily missions get old quickly. Events seem pretty borked and I gave up on doing them when I did one at Poseidon Energy. Got sucked in, burned through all my ammo and stimpacks running around repairing crap and even though I repaired everything, I still couldn't complete the event. They are mostly just an annoyance because you just randomly stumble into them when you are trying to do something else and the game just assumes you want to participate. Changes your objective and you can end up walking right into a hellhole that you aren't nearly strong enough to handle. Just another P2W garbage game. I'm pissed off and I paid nothing for the game. Imagine paying $40 for the game and then realizing you'll have to pay 3x that much to actually complete the main story. FO76 is a crafting sim because it seems that's what takes up 80% of your time in game. I spent hours just getting the ability to craft antibiotics, which is quite necessary. Seems like everything makes you sick and you are constantly having to eat, drink and take chems. You're lucky to get through a couple of side missions before you have to fix your weapons and armor. These kinds of gameplay mechanics are not enjoyable and do not make for a fun game. If you want to worry about that stuff, there are plenty of indie games out there that are overly realistic. Enemies are bullet sponges and the leveling makes it so you always feel like you are just starting out. The balance in FO76 is calculated to ensure most players will spend additional money on the game. With the joke of a next gen update they did to FO4, I'm not exactly waiting for the next FO game.
I understand why people don’t enjoy this game as much as the other Fallouts, but I’ve had a blast with 76 since launch! It combines all of my favourite game aspects. Open world, survival, mmo, building, crafting etc. I love it!
Fallout 76 is a good game, specially if you have friends. But, the issue is like you mentioned in your video all it does it makes me want to play one of the single player Fallout games. If you can get over that and take the game for what it is. There is a lot of fun time that can be had. Put around 100+ hours in the game about a year ago.
I remember wanting an online version of Fallout before 76 was ever announced. Like ESO, loved that game. The problem with 76 for me, aside from all the big issues it had when it was launched is it’s just not a very good game overall. It doesn’t do the MMO or survival type very well and just comes out disappointing.
@@mr.misanthrope1991 People that don't have the sarcasm gene make me laugh. Yeah, youtube channels were just cranking out negative FO76 content for YEARS because it got views.
Fallout 76 just had shit performance for its graphics this was the biggest isssue imho, the bethesda engine is too CPU heavy to run any kind of light-mmo properly he even played Fallout 4 earlier and he was cpu bottlenecked on 80 fps what a joke
Careful with them sudden spoiler-y comments. I havent seen that bridge scene. Ive only seen 2 episodes due to life being in the way. Just a suggestion make sure to add a comment about spoilers and give people a timestamp to move forward to and a pause for them to grab their phone and avoid the spoilers
I’m torn on this, Sea of Thieves, and No Man’s Sky as examples. Cuz I’m super glad to see them fix the games and make them worthwhile. But they should NOT have fucking launched the way they did, and these games reinforce developers thinking this is acceptable. It’s not. Cuz for every one like this there’s an Anthem, a Babylon’s Fall, or Redfall.
I think a huge reason people hate 76 is because Bethesda was very cagey about what this game was. If they had said they were developing a mp game people wouldn't have been turned off by it.

Honestly there are some really cool new questline in F76, the Wastelanders Questline rly starts at level 20 (you have to have that level to engage with the factionquests) in search for the Vault Gold, especially the Questlines you do for the factions, hence Raiders and Settlers are quite interesting. You are in one quest faking beeing a slave in a gladiator arena, on the other Quest you are infiltrating a chinese espionage underground base full with chinese ghouls to get the plans for the stealth armor.
Then you have the Brotherhood Questline where you are uncovering that some "kind" of "organisation'" is still deducting science experiments and a threat to humanity. Here you also can decide to follow Paladin Rhamani or Knight Shin, one wants to be more helpfull to society and liberal, Shin wants to follow the strict orders of the brotherhood. Then you got a new Questline that will lead you to a family of an ex mobster, where the daughter is addicted to the stuff they call "the devils blood" and you have to help her. The big new update will also introduce a new main Questline, regarding Vault63 and a new kind of Ghouls. It even have a full new area to explore in the south with new Enemies and a new Bossfight (3 giant robos, with different kind of attacks, you have to fight all at once in a kind of Arena)
I came back after 6 years and went and did the whole brotherhood of steel quest line in fallout 76. I did definitely enjoy it and then started the enclave missions, which didn’t have as much to offer but doing those quest lines really hooked me. With the update coming out this summer with another quest line and area to explore it makes me a lot more enthusiastic about the new direction the game is going.
This game had so much potential with all the cryptid lore and history of Appalachia.
Did you play any of the added content?
You said it got updated with new narrative content and NPC’s but then you talk about how you’re only level 10 which means you haven’t even played the base game, not to mention the new main quests, expansions and other stuff they added.
That would require him to actually put time into playing the game and get to a point of the new content can't have that when he's gotta release the same videos every week
Seeing Fallout in the news makes me happy to see. The vibe in this universe is so unique and captivating. I just wish the game series was handled better. By the time FO5 drops, there could potentially be people doing their taxes who weren't alive for the FO4 release. As good as the show was, I hope there are more game releases before FO5 comes around. Something between then and now has to happen and I hope it isn't just this show or FO76.
If BGS really want to keep the series in-house I hope they expand into multiple teams. It'll be better to rotate Fallout, Elder Scrolls and different IPs between 2 teams rather then making players wait almost 20 years for a sequel is ridiculous.
I also recommend the game "the invisible", it's a retrofuturistic Explorer set on the planet Mars. It's first person but not really a shooter. Amazing atmosphere
@@JuicedOnKidsthat would require their leadership be competent
Since returning after watching the show, I've been enjoying it more than I did a few years ago. Even though I play almost exclusively solo, I feel it's a welcome addition to the universe and a game worth checking out to play alone or with friends. The most enjoyable part for me is the public events that show up every few minutes. Wonderful way to get in touch with the community
Bro failed to do anything to show what the game is like. No raids, no multiplayer. Lol he just walked around and shot at stuff.
That requires a decent bit of work
and dont forget the clickbait title to farm some viewers for his adds, at least he knows what mashed potatoes are now…
the game still sucks, hope that helps bro 🙏
@meno3535 Hahah not my point. I don't care if it sucks or not I care when people make pointless clickbait videos.
Bro explained from 6:00 to 6:30 why that's irrelevant. The game lacks many of the tools and MMO uses to make raids and multiplayer interesting in an MMO, to the point its just cooperative Fallout, except if YOU tried playing the cooperatively, it odnes't function because Bethesda gave up on the MMO ide and just made it a singleplayer server.
Although I do agree, this is a clickbait video and Luke is quite clearly phoning this shit in. Seriously all of them are nearly 22-23 minutes on the dot.
Doens't change his point that 76 is a game with an identity crisis that is saddled with the lode stone around its neck of always online multiplayer that can't effectively use its medium to fulfill that promise.
When its popular, Luke praises. When is unpopular, Luke bashes. The whims of internet fads seem to dictate this mans opinions.
no streamer/reviewer is immune to this
@@ppsarrakis True, people just need to be aware of it.
Another one that does this exact same thing is Act Man.
I mean….. that means his opinion is populist like, as a content creator that kind of makes sense. Doesn’t make him disingenuous
That’s not true at all, but keep telling yourself that if it helps you cope for him having an opinion you dont agree with.
I re downloaded F76 about 2 weeks ago and now I’m 200+ hours in working on my unyielding 3star god rolls and a bloodied railway with vats bonuses. 😊
God it’s good now.
I don't trust them they're all smiling - maximus
I can't bring myself to play it. It's flabbergasting that it's a game not made in the early 2000s because everything is so clunky and ugly and shitty-feeling. The gunplay is atrocious and the hit registration is even worse. The quest design is bottom-of-the-barrel-tier and some quests don't even work properly or are so buggy they're nearly impossible to complete. I tried to give it a chance, but I'd rather just play New Vegas over and over.
You failed to mention that the atoms from the shop youcan get them for free by just playing the game with in built challenges and the free battlepass
They tried to make a DayZ, Connan, or Ark, "like" game in the Fallout universe, when we already have games like DayZ, Connan, and Ark.
The people that generally play Fallout games play for a particular reason, and when you pull out everything that Fallout gamers like except for the settings, well then you have a different game with a Fallout skin.
BUT, I'm super glad they did do a 180 and developed the Wastelanders expansion. It definitely brought me back to the game.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that though. I'd love a co-op style fallout with building mechanics and quests. I just don't want one like f76 designed around microtransactions and scummy mechanics. I don't care for pvp at all but the pve side to that really interests me. I'm just tired of the bethesda grind and f76 monetised the grind.
the "delay" with shooting and menus/interacting is gone when you're on your own server (fallout 1st) or on a server with barely any people... which is a shame you have to pay to get fallout 4's responsiveness
It is. I appreciate it more after replaying 4
Tbh ive never played 76 at all but I'd much rather give it a shot than replaying fo4. I hate fo4 so much.
Fun fact, I actually payed £175 for my edition of Fallout 76, power armour helmet an all, still have my crappy nylon bag too, not once actually played it, don’t even know what happened to my copy of the game as I honestly can’t remember.
Don’t regret it one bit, memorabilia and whatnot…
See I did it right; I watched the show then went back to Fallout 3, which is an absolute masterpiece
I think the thing that would fix 76 for me is if they let players play solo offline WITHOUT having to pay $100 a year.
If they released mod tools in tandem this would open the game up more and extend its life.
Dude you’re hardly 10 minutes into the game here.. I think if you’re going to post a video like this you should take some time to actually engage with the new updates and systems yeah? You literally walked out of the vault, walked down the hill, and started recording your video.
Wild man. Wild.
A little note if you're on pc like me and also get nauseous at the kinda sluggishness, there is a fix if you look up how to get rid of the input lag, it helps a lot and makes it far more playable, ive been enjoying it recently only because of that fix.
I couldn’t make out through more than 5 minutes of this video. Between the jammed in advertising and how long it took to get to a point, I tapped out. Better luck next vid
Why didn't you just skip it? Like literally do what most do and skip the ad
Once I realized Fallout 76 was a MMO I enjoyed it so much more. The game is 10x more fun with friends. If I were playing solo, I’d just go on the mainline Fallout games
Treat it like a simplified Rust or Apex with a Fallout skin. It’s fun with friends
One correction Luke when you go into a building with quest npc it's a private instance so even if you could kill the people inside it wouldn't affect anyone else
the one thing with fallout 4/76 combat is they somehow just mess up their colliders, like a good 20% of shots especially with snipers dont do anything because i guess there is invisible geometry between me and the enemies head? also the aiming just feels bad, i am talking the feel itself
Luke really be on of the most blatant UA-cam grifters I’ve seen in a minute lmao.
Sure everyone jumps on trends but bro. Always finding the latest grift and has no idea what he talks about.
He’s famous for a 7 hour critique of Witcher 3 where he just recaps the games events lmao.
I remember thinking the bartering prices were really unfair when I played a few years back. To buy ammo or stimpacks would be hundreds of caps, but selling a gun would be like 10 caps.
the killall commmand has a radius. idk how big but it has a radius.
How is an item or mode called a micro transaction when some of them cost almost 1/3rd of the original game's price?
I still think Bethesda not leaning into 76 as a Rust-lite experience is so disappointing. This game could've been an epic alternate to classic fallout and instead is just a mundane imitation of the Bethesda formula.
Fallout fans hate that kind of game though. They are generally an antisocial bunch. When they hear the game has other players, they instantly hate it lol.
@@gametime2473 Guilty as charged. And proud of it
@@xman777b Haha. Nothing wrong with that. Different strokes for different folks.
@@gametime2473 oh I know, I stopped playing around the time the community began pushing to get every iteration of pvp removed from the game. It's a shame but whatever, I'm glad there are people that still enjoy it.
The majority disagrees. More people are into pve than pvp. With hacking and people griefing, can you blame Bethesda....
I really like fo76 but holy cow. Probably 25% of my time is spent either going through my inventory and stash box trying to figure out what i can keep and what I have to get rid of to keep my weight under the limit. The fact that you have to pay to geg unlimited junk and ammo storage is outrageous
I liked this game so much then got hit with a storage limit I could only get over with a subscription
the junk hoarder discrimination single-handedly made me drop this game
i'm dissapointed at bethesda like everybody else and do like the occasional negative bethesda video or bethesda video in general.
but even i can't ignore the fact that luke is REAAAAALLY milking bethesda hard for content.
like he milks it harder than EA milks fifa. the cow has basicly become hollow at this point.
The "car sickness" nausea is caused by your eyes and hands feeling/seeing different things, and the two signals collide in the brain ... badly. Lag - especially a laggy response to motion input like strafing, jumping, shooting, etc. - gives me instant nausea / vertigo. I recently noticed this when I tried to return to The Division 2 on my old XB1X a few weeks ago. There's a NOTICEABLE lag between moving or pulling the trigger and the screen responding to that input. Can't do it. I think Destiny was the first FPS that I've never had any motion sickness issues with - it's super-responsive in that way.
Constant update is a strength, agree.
But it is a strength best unleashed now, or follow the first year of disturbance, sorting direction and kicking things into a working order but it is smooth sailing from there recipe. I mean Helldivers 2 got their shit sorted in less than a year and it is a game with so much moving parts. It's possible.
Not 5-6 years later.
I wish they improved the coop side of the experience, for example allowing people to progress in the story by doing the same dungeon and giving players in a party the option to build a camp together
Also inspired by the show, I finally decided to try out 76 on my Series X the other day. Encountered 3 game-breaking bugs and a hard crash in the first twenty minutes of playing. Kept trying for another half hour or so before giving up. With no overarching story to pursue, I couldn’t care about any of the random radiant fetch quests the various NPC’s started throwing at me.
Completely mystified by the milieu that’s been saying “it’s better now.” On supposedly native hardware, that was the opposite of my experience to the point of hilarity.
Just play Fallout 3, NV, or 4
You really have no shame 😂 All you do is regurgitate whatever public sentiment is at the time.
Not surprised considering the reviews you plagiarized before.
9:36 Have you been listening to Alpha Wolf?
Fallout 76 is quite enjoyable, especially with friends. After hours and hours in F4, it's nice to play with friends. I recommend it to any fan who wants to do Fallout, group style.
This video is top tier explaining who this game is for vs who it’s not for. Also Luke’s credits and criticisms of the game were fair and valid.
Too many “is 76 good” videos you can easily tell they still don’t understand what 76 is supposed to be and clearly never put the time into the game to find out. (Reforge gaming, smh)
End game 76 players obviously get the most out the game instead of campaign enthusiasts. If you like looter shooters, camp building, in game economy, finding valuable resources, joining world boss fights, and the Seasons battle pass then there’s plenty of casual fun to be had.
If most of the Fallout 1st stuff was free, or like a 1 time purchase it would be enjoyable. But the very limited inventory is so annoying especially since there aren't any companions to take some of the load off so you can deposit or sell. The perk cards are cool, but if you want to build something it takes 50+ levels just to potentially have the right cards (I really wish there was an in game preview of all the card perks available). I like the weapon repair system, but its limited by the storage/weight limits. So many things in F76 are like that, cool concepts that would work if it wasn't choked by dumb unnecessary limitations.
Bethesda selling the ability to play Fallout 76 in a solo world with unlimited storage is insane
what do you mean?
@@xman777b he's talking about the ability to run a private world if you have Fallout 1st
@@xman777b They made an online game that limits the amount of resources you can have. Then they decided to sell you unlimited space (Something that you would have in a single player game).
Then they also decided to sell you the option to play solo (Something you would be able to do in a single player game)
thanks for the explanations, everyone.
I loved the Fallout series, and have played every edition to the series. When 76 came out, I quit it within 2 hours. After the series and positive word of mouth, I returned to 76 and haver already spent dozens of hours enjoying the game in a whole new light. The game IS improved. Will it be for everyone? No. However, if you like post apocalytpics stuff, if you like MMO experiences, and you want a game you can play solo or with friends -- then I feel like I can confidently say it's an option. If you play on PC though, make sure to look up the post from IGN about how to remove the 60 FPS frame lock so you can enjoy it at 120+ frames. It makes the game so much smoother. I think it will fix the problem Luke mentions here about the engine feeling sluggish.
Oh, I hear you about framerate nausea, my stomach churns if it's less than 20 fps, and after about 15 minutes I have to stop and lie down to quell the dizziness. It's one of the reasons I just can't play FPS games, even though I'd love to. Ironically, I was working in QA around the time of the PS1 to PS2 transition and a lot of PS1 games were 15-20fps,. I would regularly have to go lie on the Test sofa and recover from vertigo. You won't get any derision from me about it!
The comedy in the Fallout show was great in my opinion.
The problem I have with fallout 76....well is that it is fallout 76 lol it is like they took fallout 4 and badly shoe horned multiplayer into it, if it was a new Vegas style singleplayer game set where it is but made for that exclusively I likely would have liked it so much more. They can add content fix bugs but in the end even if it's good content like with npcs there is still that wrapper around it
honestly i’m just sick of the east coast it’s all trees with no leaves and stupid grey skies it sucks why does bethesda love it so much
@@jare2067 Honestly, what are you talking about? FO 76 has a widely varied world that doesn't resemble your description at all.
@@gametime2473 There are a few people on the internet who like to gain hatred for something early on, and then spend their time hating it online rather then checking to see if the thing they hated changed
@@chainsaw8507 I didn't play Fallout 76 at launch but pretty sure it was never "all gray skies and trees without leaves"
I definitely wanted more of a story fix, so I turned to Fallout 4 once again. Ended up trying the new start mod to get a different perspective on the story, it’s quite nice
I think it's funny... I love Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), but hate Fallout 76... But to be honest I also hated ESO when it 1st launched. Fallout 76 on the other hand, even after half a decade of updates, I still can't stand the gameplay, story, lore, etc... It feels like a Fallout Theme Park, or a "Fallout" skin game rather than a real Fallout world/game. The whole thing just feels odd. Which is the worst part of it...
Bethesda tough players would be eager to kill each other, instead pvp in 76 is basically non-existent. Funny how it turned out to be one of the most supportive and friendly communities in all of gaming.
Take a shot for every time he says “not a game for me”
You have to talk about the battle royale mode which is insanely fun. The thing that did make me mad was the ammunition packs. That's where my credit card stopped.
It’s every bit as good as fallout 4. Tbh it’s better. I’m tired of people acting like it’s not good. It’s been good for years.
10 seconds in: Faithful to the material? Uhh, not too sure about that one. Gotta get me my ghoul serum!
normal people: "yeah the show was kinda fun"
the "true" fallout fans: "NOOOOO THEY MISSED THIS ONE DETAIL OF THE LORE, SHOW IS TRASSSSHHHHHHHH UNWATCHABLEEEE"
Played like 200 hours about 1-2 years ago and enjoyed it, they improved it greatly and nowadays its even better, its a solid game right now, they really turned the game around which is nice to see.
The price for the stuff in the atomic shop and the subscription is ridiculous though, absurdly overpriced.
its kinda nice to hear someone say "This game is just not designed for me" and call it there. I think so many serise are so scared to make spinoffs and such because they fear the backlash. Like not every fallout game has to be the exact same for the the same demographic.
Yknow whats funny, i actually find the main quest of 76 better than 4, the scorched is soo interesting
If you play they give you tons and tons of free atoms. Don’t waste them use them wisely I suggest the fusion core recharger it absolutely amazing and ik ik ik there is a legendary that makes it so you don’t have to use that much. But let’s remember how long it takes to even possibly get that legendary. for those just starting out they want to use power armor to and this will let you do that without a worry at all best investment I got makes the game so much better
Its funny you say that you liked that there was no npcs on launch because that was actually one of the main reasons i didnt buy the game at launch on top of the bugs
I moved to Maine around the time 76 came out and fuck it feels like a decade ago
I enjoy the game, it’s like a comfort game. I get off work and my days work is done and I just wonder the West Virginia mountains and collect gear and meet people and chill. It’s definitely different than other fallout games but it’s probably my most played fallout at this point and this is all coming from someone who hated this game on launch and got a refund when it came out. I only gave it a second shot like 8 months ago cause it’s free in game pass
Leaving out that fo76 was free for the three day weekend the show debuted is a huge oversight
I’m having fun with one friend on a private world and just running around doing quests and getting into trouble.
Same. Playing with my brother atm, and having a lot of fun. Only paid $8 for the game, and I've more than got my money's worth back lol. That mistress of mysteries quest line!
It's so bizarre, when the best part of a game is its community....usually its the opposite....
Fallout 76 is for me. I do not like these fallout story games like fallout 3 or 4. I am doing now melee build on fallout 76.very exited.
I played it after it was "fixed" so to speak, but i liked it. I treated it as a SP game to explore and do the quests. It was fun.
COD MW 2019 runined most FPS games, thanks to it being so smooth and cool, god dammit
Ahh yes, Internet Historian, still waiting for his Fallout 76 part 2, there is more fun i had watching his The Fall of 76 than Starfield game
Your son’s name is Lock In? That’s hard af
You should do a video about returning to Elder Scrolls Online now. Unless you never played it. Even though it’s by Zenimax
I think 76 could have been a good game if they 1, never had the preorder controversy. 2, had a better pvp system. Imo they should have had dedicated PVP, PVE and PVPVE servers instead of initializing combat through a menu. 3, had NPCs from the beginning bc without them the game is pretty boring even with a friend. And 4, fix the OUTRAGEOUS prices for private servers and the atomic shop. I would love to see a normal Fallout game with co-op
You know what is odd about 76 is that Bethesda had been working on coop in the Creation Engine going all the way back to Oblivion.
Been playing it quite a bit for the exact same reasons and having quite a bit of fun overall.
While it is a lot better now it is still depressing that even after 6 years of fixes, improvements and added content it still is very buggy…
Have played FO76 probably about 50-60 hours this month. It has the same problem as all online games with in game purchases. I am starting to lose interest because I basically am stuck halfway through the main story with a pretty severe wall. I would have to grind from level 50 to level 75 to make any real progress and I'm not sure I want to do that. Daily missions get old quickly. Events seem pretty borked and I gave up on doing them when I did one at Poseidon Energy. Got sucked in, burned through all my ammo and stimpacks running around repairing crap and even though I repaired everything, I still couldn't complete the event. They are mostly just an annoyance because you just randomly stumble into them when you are trying to do something else and the game just assumes you want to participate. Changes your objective and you can end up walking right into a hellhole that you aren't nearly strong enough to handle.
Just another P2W garbage game. I'm pissed off and I paid nothing for the game. Imagine paying $40 for the game and then realizing you'll have to pay 3x that much to actually complete the main story. FO76 is a crafting sim because it seems that's what takes up 80% of your time in game. I spent hours just getting the ability to craft antibiotics, which is quite necessary. Seems like everything makes you sick and you are constantly having to eat, drink and take chems. You're lucky to get through a couple of side missions before you have to fix your weapons and armor. These kinds of gameplay mechanics are not enjoyable and do not make for a fun game. If you want to worry about that stuff, there are plenty of indie games out there that are overly realistic. Enemies are bullet sponges and the leveling makes it so you always feel like you are just starting out.
The balance in FO76 is calculated to ensure most players will spend additional money on the game.
With the joke of a next gen update they did to FO4, I'm not exactly waiting for the next FO game.
I understand why people don’t enjoy this game as much as the other Fallouts, but I’ve had a blast with 76 since launch! It combines all of my favourite game aspects. Open world, survival, mmo, building, crafting etc. I love it!
Fallout 76 is a good game, specially if you have friends. But, the issue is like you mentioned in your video all it does it makes me want to play one of the single player Fallout games. If you can get over that and take the game for what it is. There is a lot of fun time that can be had. Put around 100+ hours in the game about a year ago.
There is a narative fix, you are level 10, you arent going to see shit if you dont give it a chance beyond that lol
that is not true
the npc`s caused lag and frame drops ,like in dragons dogma 2 , people say so many lies ...
I remember wanting an online version of Fallout before 76 was ever announced. Like ESO, loved that game. The problem with 76 for me, aside from all the big issues it had when it was launched is it’s just not a very good game overall. It doesn’t do the MMO or survival type very well and just comes out disappointing.
i liked it luke stephens, i liked when you rolled your R

the bethesda engine is too CPU heavy to run any kind of light-mmo properly he even played Fallout 4 earlier and he was cpu bottlenecked on 80 fps what a joke
I can't wait for the Shenandoah map expansion. It's gonna be great.
Careful with them sudden spoiler-y comments. I havent seen that bridge scene. Ive only seen 2 episodes due to life being in the way. Just a suggestion make sure to add a comment about spoilers and give people a timestamp to move forward to and a pause for them to grab their phone and avoid the spoilers
I’m torn on this, Sea of Thieves, and No Man’s Sky as examples. Cuz I’m super glad to see them fix the games and make them worthwhile. But they should NOT have fucking launched the way they did, and these games reinforce developers thinking this is acceptable. It’s not. Cuz for every one like this there’s an Anthem, a Babylon’s Fall, or Redfall.
I think a huge reason people hate 76 is because Bethesda was very cagey about what this game was. If they had said they were developing a mp game people wouldn't have been turned off by it.
You should do a video on ESO. Game is still a train wreck, but there's somehow a community that eat it up. I genuinely don't understand how.
Luke, you've become my go to video games content creator. Really love you channel!
