The game is visually stunning, and it has some charm from previous Fallout entries which is a draw for fans. It may take a long time, but it can recover. On the other hand, going in with optimism and manageable expectations – as well as some friends – means you have opportunities for fun.įrom my limited and aggravating experience with Fallout 76 and its B.E.T.A, it definitely has potential. Going in expecting it to be a great Fallout game will likely end up with asking for a refund. It is a unique MMORPG, but it does not reflect the quality of the previous games its developer is known for. The game in its current stage is all about expectations. Everywhere you look through Fallout 76‘s online communities, there are disgruntled ex-fans turning others away from what could be an enjoyable experience. However, there are numerous players who still carry bad memories. In small increments, the game is recovering. When people ask if the game has improved, some more positive observers also say yes. When the question comes up of whether Fallout 76 is worth the (extremely low) sale price, the answer is usually yes. With such an easily exploitable vulnerability out there, as well as the stories of other hackers and modders adding assets from other Fallout games, players can only wonder if there are more issues to come.
What did catch quite a bit of attention, however, was the recent inventory hack that players faced just before Dec. Thankfully for Bethesda, this did not blow up as much as previous stumbles. Needless to say, nobody was really that thrilled about Fallout 1st. The problem is they also locked it behind a monthly paywall and added in other fluff, seemingly to pad the price. What players really wanted was the private worlds, and Bethesda gave it to them. The service gives you inventory upgrades, in-game currency, cosmetics and private worlds.
Players immediately dubbed this a money-grab tactic. To what extent it had actually recovered is debatable.īethesda recently unveiled their newest idea: Fallout 1st, a subscription service for Fallout 76. But through all of that, Fallout 76 was still running. Bethesda would face more controversies still – Nuka Dark, Banhammer fun times, customer info leaks, you name it. As time went on, more and more content was added to the barren wasteland of West Virginia. They would update the game regularly and fix what issues arose. This involved micro-transactions out the arse, unsurprisingly. Not long thereafter, Bethesda made good on their promise and sent out replacement canvas bags to those affected.īethesda steadily released content for the game after this. Needless to say, that offer pleased nobody. Bethesda infamously responded by offering disgruntled players $5 worth of in-game currency. The bag was meant to be canvas, but was instead plastic the Power Armor helmet would somehow grow mold. The problem with this one however, is Bethesda skimping out of what they promised.
To summarize the $200 Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76 comes with goodies, as all special editions do. Then came the deluxe edition bag catastrophe – AKA Bag-gate. Over time, Bethesda got to fixing the issues and with the game going on sale semi-often, the playerbase steadily grew. When the game first released, it was a buggy mess.
