    This is a fantastic tire fire to watch. I'd be livid if I bought into it. But it tells me about what to expect for the next Elder Scroll game which is a shame.

    While multiple companies are competing for worst game company, I would like to propose a separate award for the most incompetent company.

    This new award must surely go to Bethesda, for their company exhibits an incomprehensible and endlessly entertaining degree of buffoonery on every level. From a marketing team prone to false advertising to the most consistently inept programmers and playtesters in the industry, to Todd Howard, a man who has seen his image transform from religious icon to self-depreciating court jester in a single year, Bethesda's absurdity knows no bounds, and I applaud them for the show.

    Maybe the half ransacked, old instance worlds being repurposed is to give role players plot hooks.

    8 years or so ago, I could hear the name Bethesda, and it had my attention. Anxious to see what they came out with next. They were one of my favorite companies. 

    Now, I have no interest in whatever they may be working on. After FO4 I realized this was no longer the same quality company I used to know. 

    Sadly I have seen multiple great companies fall to bits over the last 5 years. I used to love the Battlefield series games. Couldn't wait for Diablo 3 to launch, and when it did, only to find utter disappointment. Bioware... just a joke now. Ubisoft? yeah, Division 2 tanked. 

    Luckily I am currently playing Borderlands 3. And I am enjoying my casual first play through. They know how to make the next game in a series. Dont change too much, keep a winning formula, add on to what your strengths are.

    Well...I bought into it and am not upset at all.

    Probably would be a whole bunch of upset if I had experienced some of the issues being reported.

    Only issues I regularly have is some hitching at times and random DCS and crashes which happen at least once a play session.

    See the thing is, how angry a person gets is actually something entirely within their control.

    I choose to play on and enjoy shooting Scorched in the face with my combat shotguns.

    Although I did have big "fun" destroying an entire Ragstag herd by spraying them with the .50 cal machine gun.

    Next time I use the mini gun or automated grenade launcher.

    Is it so wrong to wish for a zombie Apocalypse? I think not.

    I recommend the award be a model of the CEO of the "winner" shooting themselves in the foot.

    I just have to wonder if the developers of Outer Worlds prepared and sent a "Thank you!" card and fruit basket to Bethesda for their launch weekend gift. You just can't buy this kind of advertising! >_<

    F76's review: 7/10.

    Never forget.

    I was a big fan of Bethesda, although I skipped F76 since I didn't care much for it and it was the best decision that I made. More importantly though, it's making me very anxious about TES6. I'm really looking forward to TES6, but with the way F76 is being handled, I'm actually not sure that I'll be getting TES6 or at least not until some time has passed after release.

    I just can't trust Bethesda to not change their minds over and over again, and at this stage, I wouldn't be surprised to see RMT being added into their single player games. Kind of sucks. :/
  • SlyLoKSlyLoK Member RarePosts: 2,698
    BGS have always made really buggy games that were fixed by the community. With F76 not only could the community not fix it it has all the issues online games had on top of the usual buggy mess their single player games had.

    How to go from beloved gaming company to second most hated company (after EA and Ubisoft which are tied for first):

    Step 1: Release trash game titled Fallout 4, make tertiary features a requirement and grindy without any payoff.

    Step 2: Release trash multiplayer survival sim and label it Fallout 76

    Step 3: Refuse to fix anything to save the burning ship of previously mentioned game, add more microtransactions and trash

    Step 4: Introduce premium subscription for a private but not private singleplayer but not singleplayer version of Fallout 76, complete with P2W elements that carry over into the main online portion of the game.

    Step 5: Profit.

    This is better than watching most TV shows, I applaud these companies for bringing genuine laughter and smiles to the faces of millions.

    Hating on EA is so 2018, these days Activision Blizzard are the new evil empire everyone loves to slag on.

     It looks like Bethesda is trying really hard to  take away the award for worst company in america from EA this year. It looks like a fan pinched the domain falloutfirst.com   right from under the developer's nose, so anyone looking for information about the subscription would instead be greeted with his critique. You gotta love that the BBC News interviewed the guy who did it as well
