    I got Fallout 76 when it first came out. Quit after a couple weeks. Tried it again last year. I'd actually put it in my top 5 most recommended multi-player games.
    I understand why people don't like it, and I realize it's not for everyone. If you're looking for a Fallout 4 experience with a heavy focus on story, you likely won't find Fallout 76 satisfying. They took a single-player formula and tried to make it a multi-player game. It can feel a bit clunky at times. But it can be immensely fun.

      Bethesda had years to add enough quality quests and multiple plots that move you in multiple direction and maybe even make you choose fractions and split up the map. So how come it is still lack luster, compared to Fallout 4 lack luster story? I have to at least add 300/400 mods to make it somewhat playable compared to the quality of New Vegas and at least 200 to bring the quality from Fallout 3. To push the game to feel a true successor of Fallout New Vegas and is truly next gen, you need 1000+ mods. 😂

    I understand completely about feeling overwhelmed at the beginning (I just started playing last week), and you are correct in saying that the game is significantly better when playing with friends. My play group is 5 people, and we have had a hard time finding games we can all play together (since most games are locked to 4 players on a team). Yes, we cannot all be on the same team, but we can all be in the same server and run around doing stupid things together!

  • @Mk_Otaid
    @Mk_Otaid 7 місяців тому +4

    I think you're mixing up FPS with latency/lag caused by the game's networking itself. The combat doesn't feel choppy or weird because of uneven frametimes/framerates - rather cause of every little action you do (attack connects included) inevitably having a small delay before it actually registers. Pay closer attention and you'll always notice that it takes juuuust a small while before an enemy really dies, even if you oneshot them and most enemies performing an awkward dying animation rather than ragdolling makes it feel even stiffer. This problem is spread all over the game like looting and just interacting with anything really.
    Below is my experience with F76 compared to F4:
    I played Fallout 76 for about 2 years since it launched and this issue never truly got remedied sadly. As soon as I got back to Fallout 4 it was like playing a game of a completely different quality level. It just feels so buttery smooth in comparison, every action is instantaneous, the foliage reacts dynamically to your movement, there's Nvidia Flex physics for debris particles when you shoot your weapons on different surfaces. The lighting is objectively better, volumetrics especially with godrays and fog so smoothly bleeding throughout all environments. Hitting and getting hit has no delay and no iffy hitboxes which sometimes get bigger or smaller for no clear reason (*ahem*... Fo76...).
    Became clear to me that the idea of having a typical Bethesda game in a persistently online world only works on paper currently. There's so much of the smaller stuff that make up these games and you'd somehow have to track and continuously sync for all players it's theoretically not possible to do as well as you'd do (on a quality level) on a single-player game. There's simply too much delay, even if it's like 1/10th of a second it just takes you out the more you play it. One of the core pillars of these sandbox games is immersion and with the networking we have today, it's just not possible to do on the same level you'd do by not having to factor in online play.

    I seen Fallout 76 was free to install in my prime gaming and I installed. I’m a simple guy with simple needs. I had never played Fallout series before. This is my first time. I’m not gonna lie I did hear about it when it came out but I wasn’t interested. I was too involved with MK XL and BO3 Zombies lol and being the life of the party in college 😂 but now that I started playing it, it’s pretty dope. Idc about the graphics or the mindless gameplay. It’s a few yrs old game so I’m not gonna complain. Other than that I’m into it and imma continue playing. It’s entertaining.

    I also just started playing this game and while I do have my little nit-pick (the CC for one) so far I am enjoying it... and I am playing solo. I plan to play with a friend of mine as soon as he is able to get it but until then, I am enjoying it. As far as the graphics, I have to disagree with you. I am playing on xbox one so that may be a difference but I was so impressed with the environment and I was busy admiring the way the sun was shimmering through the trees that I barely noticed the gouls coming up behind me lol. I also have been to Virgina and West Virgina many times so I was comparing how much they actually captured of the the beautiful landscape of that state and I was impressed by it. It's one of the things I love about Fallout 4 though. I live in MA and have been to Boston so many times. I love that City so walking through post-apocolypic Boston was such a treat. I'm weird that way though I guess with the things that impress me in a video game 😄

For perspective time a lvl 489 and still love doing events and trying to get better gear.

    the time i spent on it with friends is what made it fun for sure and it wasn't great at launch for sure, but they have been cooking with free added content. still remember helping the brotherhood of steel when they first showed an appearance near the ski resort and then like the community mission that went along with it that helped them move into that base. Dying light does something similar and ngl its fun. brings the community together. I've played hours on end when i got fallout 2, 3, 4, and New Vegas so i understand the frustration with some on the fact of how Vats work. after binging the show though it really made me want to challenge myself on 76 without using it on a fresh start. Just for the fact they don't have it and for the fact that you really don't need it for a melee focused build. low key is fun though. Yet i think Bethesda's idea behind this game was to just really have people come together. seeing what other people can build as homes will always be my favorite part about this game. the little trinkets you can save up from challenges as well is so cool. i remember on my PS4 playing it for the first time as well when i saved enough atomic points to buy the mini deathclaw & the nuclear bomb lamp. trying to build a welcoming home to return to is key in my book for 76 and it takes time. it pays off. feels good. once you get to that point. that's where it's at for me. and one last thing i gotta mention is that it's just an unwritten law of the wasteland is that when you are adventuring with friends and Beach Boys comes on you gotta sing along with the boys.

    I started after the update that added story and npc.
    It was fun. I enjoyed it. It just sucks i didnt had friend to play it. It also suck that there was legacy legendaries that broke the game. Thats why i was mainly soloing it. To avoid the cheeze. But discovering all the clues and the story of the world was fun! I really loved it.
    If you pay attention, they will bring you arpund the map, discover cities, side quest, and inlock "end game". It was well done.
    And having multiple camps was a huge upgrade.
    You can set up MANY camps around the world. If you are clever and imaginative, you can set up small camps like if you were trekking criss country.
    I had a raider "city camp" with multiple bedding, i had a military camp, i side a crashed bomber, i had a moo shiner hidden camp, in the swamp, it really was cool. I loved it.
    Would i play it again? Yes, with a friend.
    Ut once you have beaten the last boss...its over.
    Doing tye world map events that pop up really sucks. They are easy, and monsters die so quickly you have a hard time "tagging" them for xp and loot.
    But it was nice to play fallout with other people.

    I disagree with the watered down VATS system. I'd say most people are just expecting different. I agree up to a certain degree though, the realtime VATS is not that good for low level players because of the lack of AP. It's just weird to have your AP depleted so fast, especially with automatics. But it should be fine with non-auto weapons.
    However in the endgame, the 76 VATS system is way more satisfying, especially when you can do criticals very often. Back to Fallout 4 I hoped there's a mod to change 4's VATS to 76's style VATS, but there is not.

      Its actually worth it. It's fallout 4 survival mechanics mixed in with new vegas's with having to repair your weapons. The radio has one of the best music selections, and the quests can get pretty dark. Fallout 76's horror aspect is what caught me off guard the most.

      I think 76s map is the best one in the series, it’s surprisingly detailed given how large it is. I prefer it to fallout 4 but can understand why it’s not for every fallout fan. I highly recommended trying it for yourself

      If as a solo player… it can be incredibly fun still🎉. If you like survival games but without the pvp, or playing by yourself in a multiplayer game like this… fallout 76 is very fun.

    The game being always in realtime definitely makes the combat feel a bit less epic since it's not as cinematic but at the same time MORE quick and intense at times. 4's better though for sure in terms of being a fallout game and all of what most people expect from that. But hey if you have 1000 hours in 4 and are ready to move on to more fallout and have friends then for sure.

    I bought a Windows key on PC for less than $2 a month ago and it was actually a good game overall but not very good in terms of being an actual Fallout game. Doesn't feel like much of an RPG as you don't have as much free will to do whatever you want with different factions like New Vegas and it feels like you're fighting the same enemies over and over. Feels like I mostly fought miners, ghouls, super mutants and scorched with bits of different animal and human enemies.

    100% agree with this! I have all of the other fallouts and have probably thousands of hours of combined playtime on them, but I just can't seem to get invested in 76. I'm also a solo player though, so that might be why. I much prefer to play New Vegas or Fallout 4 when I get the hankering to wander the wastelands these days.

    I got a game code for steam for 6$about 2 years ago. It was fun to play fallout with my best friend. I stopped after Nuka World because I was busy with other things and just downloaded it again.
    They have added an awful lot of free content for the 6 bucks I paid. It is 100% worth it. Nobody can tell me there isnt 6 dollars worth of fun in this game. AT the moment it costs 8$ on a steam sale. You cant even see a two hour movie for 8$, I played this for 239 hours.
    Yes there are better online shooter looter games I suppose. But I dont want to play call of duty. I want to play in the quirky retro post nuclear world of fallout.

    If a person likes the fallout lore, Fallout 76 is very fun especially if you wanted to play in a world with other people to any varying degree.
    The game is fun until you figure out every aspect of the game... Then it gets stale. But then it can become funner if you have a friend that becomes interested, then you can help them… but don’t spoil them.
    Btw, fallout 76 is not an mmo. There is zero mmo elements in the game. 24 players in a lobby is not an mmo. I catch so many people saying this… and I don’t under it.

    I had smooth gameplay with my 2070, 3070ti and now my rx 6800 so not sure what you are talking about there. As for VATS, in a real time online game it's impossible to slow time down because there are other players on the server and only you would be slowed down. On a side note, it looks like you didn't get very far in the game. Not the best foundation for a Fallout 76 review video.

      Max payne 3 managed to make bullet time work in their multiplayer, so they could do. It was just an area around you that would slow down when activating bullet time, so if anyone was caught in the area they’d slow down too. For a game like this, shooting from further distances, a line of sight would be a good idea, like you said. I wonder if trolls would then just get you in their line of sight, to slow you down and possibly get you killed by something else 😂

    This analysis is pretty accurate although I will add a couple things as someone who played it fairly consistently for years.
    The whole fun of the game is playing with other people and it’s easy to make friends with new people in game.
    Once you make an actual build designed around VATS, it’s even more satisfying than in standard Fallout titles since it’s really fast paced and you’re not just pausing the game.
    The way online trading on Reddit/Facebook and the in game trading through player-run vendors are where a lot of the real end game fun is at.
    Even with all that and having had periods with extensive enjoyment of this game, there’s mostly just not enough content coming out for this game for it to not get stale.

    I play Bungie games on XSX and PS5 which I consider to have the best feel of any shooters on earth so unmodded Fallout 4 levels of feel with no VATS is too dire.
    I can feel every bit of the laziness and every lack of layered systems like hugely varying levels of bullet magnetism depending on which weapon you’re using, hugely differing levels of reticle friction, hugely differing verticle and horizontal muzzle direction, hugely varying bullet magnetism cone angles and lengths depending on the hugely variable damage drop off stats and how all of these things are changed depending on which weapon archetype you’re using, which class of archetype, what mods or perks you have on the gun and all over your armour and in your subclass builds and what buffs and debuffs are affecting you.
    To go from these brilliantly implemented systems to various bullet spread patterns and not much else feels like getting out of a Lexus and getting in to a 125 year old Model A Ford.
    No one puts more in to these systems than Bungie and no one puts in less than Bethesda and that GIGANTIC difference in feel highlights the difference in developer skill level and care factor.
    When I play 76, I feel exactly like I’m playing a game made by the least talented AAA devs and combined with this cardboard feel are the cardboard graphics.
    Like looking at a statue carved from marble by a Roman Master craftsman next to something a child made from play-dough.
    But they’re adults so what’s their excuse?
