I did run into Mothman last night. I ran away like a little girl.

Andromeda was a playable game though compared to F76. It had a full story and gameplay features even if they were a bit underwhelming. F76 so far still feels like a beta test.

The thing I like the most about it so far is part of the knock: it's raw
It feels like a true survival game. That adds an element to it imo.

Saw an article that a group of players were permanently banned for following a group of players around shouting homophobic slurs. People suck. Which is why I avoid online completely. I can understand how it is different if you have a group of friends to play with. But at my age, people I know aren't playing games anymore.

Just to clarify, I platinumed ME3 and I thought it was a really good game other than the ending.

Not a single post during the entire weekend. Wow, that's pretty telling...and damning. Seems like the small pocket of players that are "on" this game are dug into their bunkers and enjoying this game (and that's great) while the rest of us are on the roadside-such is the "fallout" of this game,
I loved FO4 so much and wanted desperately to LOVE this game and just I'm erase myself into a total time sink this Winter. But I can't. It's just a failure on so many fronts (trying to live up to what a fallout game should be). I am very thankful RDR2 is here to completely distract me. I loved Fallout 4 so much that, hadRDR2not been around,I would probably try to give FO 76another chance but because RDR2 is here and is so awesome, I don't have to. I'm glad for that because I think I would just keep going back to fallout and getting frustrated.
But as much as I've written FO off on this one, I still recognize how much I love the series a d wanted it to be a good game. Even as I play Red Dead, I find myself thinking " I wish this game had this piece of fallout" or "I wish this game did this like fallout does".
On this game, they can and will fix some bugs but, to me, the design and concept has doomed this one.

Update? I got up to about level 10 here in F76 and I'm not sure I even want to play this anymore. Underwhelming would be an understatement.

This pretty much 100% where I am with it too. played RDR2 first and then came to this for a few nights and I think I'm done.

I was playing fairly frequently, but I got bit up a bit by a dog so I can't use my keyboard that well so I switched over to Civ VI since it is turn based. Taking out a Sorched Queen with a bunch of people is good fun, and I'm still searching locations on the map so that keeps my interest, but they have serious issues to fix if this is going to be viable longer term. Storage is still a huge issue for me.

I’m a level 91. Although the game has a TON of faults I still enjoy it far more than I should. There is almost no end game of substance and the story is lackluster but I enjoy exploring the world a great deal.

I bought this for $40 to play w/ my nephews. Haven't hooked up with them yet, but I've been enjoying it so far in solo play (about level 8 ). Some observations:
- It plays really well for single player if you're the lone survivalist type. I barely ever see other players, so it's usually just you and the world. It often feels like you are the only one who left the vault.
- Ammo is far more scarce, which makes finding / conserving bullets a thing (use melee). You also need to eat and drink, and finding clean water/etc is not easy. It makes camp / cooking / boiling water necessary.
- Despite no human NPC's, there are plenty of ghouls / robots / supermutants / animals to fight. Ghouls use guns here.
- I'm finding the quests fun enough - terminals essentially give you the "story" - there's been plenty to do so far.
All in all, I'm finding it fun, despite glitches and bugs, and it was worth the $40. But I enjoy solo / lone wanderer / survival play while listening to the 40's soundtrack. If that's not your thing, the single player aspect doesn't seem to have much to offer besides that.

The big rumor is that Bethesda has started pulling Fallout 76 from shelves in preparation to go Free-To-Play. I'm surprised they are going this route so quickly. But I don't think dropping to $20 will help them, so it may be their final saving grace.
Players have found ways to glitch the system and clone the game's most powerful weapons (and caps). So there's now a black market where players are buying weapons and literally breaking the game. Bethesda has no way of fixing it either. Their official statement was to ask players to stop using exploits.

I stopped playing, mainly because I was sick of always being over-encumbered and not having a place to store my crap. The 600lb limit isn't enough.
The internet doesn't seem all that impressed with the announced expansion, which will have an extended main quest, human NPC's, and battle royales to see who becomes overseer.
It's not enough to get me to buy it, I don't think.
Link to article but Twitter's more fun right now.

Forgot to check the thread to bump this. I know it's technically fall now, but I've seen Fallout 76 for as low as $15 for a couple of months now. So I guess I can score one for my prediction. But I still have no intention of buying the game. With The Outer Worlds releasing next month, I'll get my single player Fallout-like game fix that way.
ETA: I've not heard anything about it going Free-To-Play since January. I'm surprised it hasn't shown up on Xbox Game Pass, though.

I've heard nothing about this game in forever. Totally dropped off my radar. No plans to buy it. Went the way of the dodo I guess.
