Companies can launch any shit at any price. Also it's not like Fallout 76 is the only unfinished game, there were many games that came unfinished during release. Remember no man's sky. Also there is no law to stop this publishers from publishing unfinished games. It can only be stopped if fans can become smart and then buy the game after it's review.

It may actually not be, because as of this moment Migliaccio and Rathod Law Firm is suing Bethesda on behalf of thousands of players. Charges include: inconsistent refund policies that have resulted in many people simply not getting their refunds; the game being completely unplayable at times, and the plan to patch it into a workable state may not be legal when the game it classified as a "service"; hosting fake discounts in the Atom Shop (listing something as being on a discount, even though said "discount" is actually the full-price); flat-out fraud, like with the bag fiasco; employee abuse, referring to excessive use of crunch time; etc..

I don't think Todd Howard's "I read it on the Internet, so it's true" comment at E3 was self-deprecating. I think it was dismissive and condescending. I think he was implying that the buggy nature of their games is exaggerated. The only thing that can explain Fallout 76 to me is a detachment from reality like that from the heads of Bethesda.

[@abigguitar]

Little did Todd suspect that Karma would reach out and bite him on the a$$ hard. Notice we've not heard a thing from Todd publicly since then. What may have begun as dismissive and condescending has turned into instant Karmic retribution. Todd should learn not to flap his trap and jinx his release. Either Todd was naïve about his game and was being entirely overconfident or he was spilling the beans on exactly how bad it would become. Either way, Karma felt the need to chime in.

The stuff here has a lot of grievous oversights rather than technical limitations (not being clear about nerfs, unbalanced preorder items in multiplayer setting, multiple nuke issue, nuking newbie town, personal info being leaked, multiple stupidly big patch files). Plus the game seems weirdly barebones (no story to complete, no npcs, barely any rpg elements) so other than leveling up your character and finding weapons, doesn't seem like there's much to go back for.

The story of the can of stew actually really saddened me. It seemed like such a nice gesture of the game, given it's symbolic of the message of the event and I could imagine how it could seem intentional.

[@guitarhausdoesntknowwhatac3285]

Honestly, The biggest reason that FO:76 failed so hard is that Bethesda has gotten lazier and lazier as time has marched on; Technical issues that have been apparent in the engine and their approach to game design have been apparent for years and they've had the luxury of ignoring them because legions of modders have done the work for them. And hey: if you are a modder then I have all the respect in the world for the passion and dedication that you've got for your craft, but you need to understand that what you are doing at this point is basically unpaid labor for a company that's been phoning it in for years.

[@nygeriunprence]

Guitarhaus doesntknowwhatacommunistis Truth. Willing slaves.

[@guitarhausdoesntknowwhatac3285]

@@nygeriunprence I knew that this was a problem years ago when during a discussion on Skyrim a couple of years back I cited my key issue with it was that it was full of nothing; There were tons of things to see and do but none of it actually mattered in any way really and so many of the major storylines either felt like they were included because there was some sort of checklist for an elder scrolls game that needed to be completed or just turned into major slogs while dungeons all kind of felt samey after a certain point. Then some guy told me that it was fine because I just needed to install X Y and Z mods and everything would be awesome. I responded by telling him that mods weren't an option for me because I bought the game on Xbox 360. Then he claimed that it was my fault for not buying the game as it was meant to be played. Like seriously: I respect the fuck out of these guys ability and understanding of code but fuck this idea that I'm not able to judge the game based on the workmanship of the developers without considering 3rd party software that might prop it up in a way that I find pleasing.

[@httohot]

@@guitarhausdoesntknowwhatac3285 you perfectly described why after a week - a month of skyrim it all felt empty I re-bought skyrim and oblivion and yet I never touched skyrim after the very first 30 hours on my friends version. I thought I was alone since everyone loved it. I thought the exact same thing about fallout 3 when it came out and I avoided new vegas for several years because of how boring i felt fallout 3 became. My firend said that a new better studio made new vegas and I thought I knew than him better since he never played fallout 3 while I was near bored to death by it. After playing new vegas years later I realized how bad bethseda really is and how right my friend was; I LOVED that game and it filled the niche that I had expected Skyrim and fallout 3 to fill. When I saw fallout 4 it was 100% confirmed that Bethesda was trash. I thought I was just a cynical bastard for looking at the AAA game industry as complete trash but I have unfortunelty been proven right too many times. I dont like being right about this, I miss the good ol' days where people who loved games were the ones in charge of the companies and not shareholders.

[@guitarhausdoesntknowwhatac3285]

@@httohot The thing about the AAA's is that they abhor inovation; they'd rather do the same tropes and tricks year after year making their games progressively more dull and generic then take chances and shake things up; it's why I haven't spent money on a Call of Duty game in 8 years because I know it's going to be essentially the same fucking thing. The reason that Bethesda in particular gets me pissed off though, is that I played fallout 1 and 2 when those guys were brand new and I was enthralled by the setting and creativity that was displayed by Interplay. I know how good the setting is and how much potential it has. So when I see it reduced to this ~a cheap cynical cash grab where the only thing that seems to work consistently is the god damn microtransaction system~ I'm legitimately pissed. Like for christ's sake, I shouldn't have to explain why an RPG's central story needs to be engaging to a company that's been making them since 1994 for MS DOS.

[@MrNb22]

on that note, Matt completely missed the whole thing where they banned anyone with any third party tools and mods.

[@GrodyPineman]

Something interesting is that the fuckhuge patches larger than the game itself aren't actually installing 30-50 gigs of *new* content, it's basically uninstalling huge chunks of the entire fucking game and replacing them with updated data due to some fuckery with how the game is organized on a technical level. Which... presents many questions in itself.

[@Zayindjejfj]

The implications of what you just said hurts my soul. Toooooooodddd.....

[@TheDeadfast]

Not really "fuckery," more so utter laziness in how the patching is performed. The content is stored in large archives, think .zip files. Lets say you need to change a single ~1MB texture in one of those archives. The intelligent solution would be to only change that one texture. The Bethesda solution is to have you redownload the whole ~1GB file.

[@MechaMan2012]

@@TheDeadfast I think the Unreal Engine has their file archive system setup similarly, although this hug debacle has shown BGS is a worse offender.

And while we on it, Fallout 2 is considered the better of the two originals.

[@alexanderrose3041]

We know he made a part 2

[@StacieMMeier]

@Nero Metal And yet, gaming experts consider Morrowind the greatest game in the series. Plot-wise it just destroys Skyrim. Being able to do actions also was better. You could even kill the main characters and the game tell you, you doomed the World because of that action. You could also, kill a character in a guild and have that guild hate and even attempt to kill you. This added excitement because if you were told to kill an NPC it could force you to never play that plot-line with that guild. Also, try getting away from Skyrim and see when you were told to find a cave...well..." Go to this rock, turn left then head in a general direction, once you find the cave, find a chest inside the cave and locate it and get the weapon." I know you and many love to be able to follow a point on a map and simply walk into the cave. Bethesda dumbed down Skyrim so badly, some don't even consider it a true RPG, but an action game. Plus, Morrowind "saved" Bethesda. If it wasn't for Xbox/Microsoft for allowing it on their console, you probably never heard of the series. Microsoft took a big risk, many doubted them for putting on their console, they were being told it was too big and players wouldn't want to spend 100's of hours playing it. Luckily, for both Sony and Bethesda, Microsoft refused to listen to the game media. Morrowind is reason large big world games are even on console now. They are the reason games like Skyrim, Fallout 4 and The Witcher series are even on consoles. That being said, experts, all agree that Morrowind is the "game' in the series you need to play. My opinion, Daggerfall best all of them. It is in Daggerfall that you change the Elder Scrolls timeline.

[@Overhazard]

I don't know if either has been covered, but here are a couple of suggestions: 1. The Gizmondo, a portable game system funded by the Swedish government. When the creator got in trouble for it, he fled to the United States (but brought his red convertible Ferrari with him) and spent the money he swindled living a life of hedonism until he was eventually caught, his history discovered, and he was put in prison. 2. If you're willing to cover pinball, there are two trainwrecks with their own complicated stories to tell. The first is Popeye Saves the Earth (made by Midway), in which Bluto is (somehow) intentionally driving animals to extinction to get rich, and Popeye has to stop him. This was during a time when arcade operators bought pinball machines from Midway sight unseen, and between the bizarre use of the Popeye license, the upper playfield blocking your view of half of the main playfield, and the tendency for parts to break that could only be obtained by parting out other Popeye machines, Popeye Saves the Earth is arguably responsible for why hardly anyone plays pinball today. The other is Star Trek, the 2012 machine from Stern. This one is based on the J.J. Abrams movies. On launch, literally two-thirds of the code was not there, causing the machine to crash if you played it for too long. It was eventually patched with the rest of the code (you download it, put it on a USB drive, and plug it into the machine), but remember that this is a physical pinball machine. If you somehow find one of these machines out in public, odds are it is still in the super-incomplete state because its operator doesn't know any better. This incident kicked off a "Where's the Code?" protest against Stern, as their subsequent machines were also released with very incomplete programming. It would take until Game of Thrones, released...3 years later, I think, for Stern to shape up and launch these games with complete-looking code. (I would list Magic Girl here too, but you have to be really into pinball to understand what went wrong with that one, way more so than Popeye or Star Trek.)

I know I'm too late for a meaningful like bump and all, but screaming into the void is better than doing that shit internally. So, yeah, I was a huge Bethesda fanboy back in the day. My first Open World RPG was oblivion for the Playstation, and later PC. The. Fallout 3 GOTY was my next. I loved both of them, and never experienced any major bugs like most people report. I loved the scenic lands of Cyrodil, the Major quests were fun enough for me (keep in mind I had lower standards back then,) I enjoyed the Knights of the Nine armor, if not the quests, and becoming the God of Madness had never seemed more sane a proposition. In Fallout 3 I loved the Sights of the Captial wastes, and can name a lot of major locations from it if you press me. Seriously, each major and moderately important settlement is different from the next design wise. From the rotting and rusted halls of Rivit city, to the artificially preserved stuffiness of Tenpenny Tower, to the dark yet inviting Underworld. The characters and companions were okay, and the combat was... fine. Skyrim is when I started noticing the cracks. The over simplified nature of character building as attributes just... disappeared. The Low level play of the combat. The fact that EVERYONE SOUNDS AND TALKS NEAR THE GODDAMN SAME. Still, I liked Skyrim too. I just played it less. It was still gorgeous and the simplification kept me from becoming Usain Bolt on a Motorcycle, which I didnt like in Oblivion. The Main quests were better, and I'll always give Bethesda this: Their DLC rocks ever since the Horse Armor debacle. Then I went back and played New Vegas, with all the DLC. My God, the story was just so much better than Fallout. The characters were more likeable, the Quests were zanier, and everything just had a level of polish that made it work so much better. Even with the smaller mad and with less iconic locations. I still hold the belief that that comparison is a bit unfair, considering that most of the engine was already built for Obsidian at the time, and all they had to do was make the game. I'm sure, though, that there were an ass load of bugs to contend with though. It was really how bland that Fallout 4 was that burnt me out on it. Seriously, the game is about as interesting as cardboard. That game saved me from buying Fallout 76. Still, the reason that I gave a winding speech is to articulate this: Bethesda both has, and hasn't, always been like this. They've always had a buggy engine, they've never been the best at story writing, and they Do tend to work a whole hell of a lot better in smaller chunks like their DLC which both does and doesn't lend itself well to MMORPGs. It's just sad to see that they've given up trying anymore. As a former Bethesda fanboy, I'm not even mad... just Sad to see one of my favorite game Companies fall face down onto the ground and give themselves a compound factor on the way down.

No more games from them, no matter how good they are and if they are 100% bugfree (yeah good joke there mate). Morrowind was breathtaking back in it's days, Oblivion had it's flaws but was kinda good and had awesome questlines, Skyrim is modders heaven for crying out loud, Fallout 3 was kinda awesome, New Vegas wasn't from Bethesda but was awesome, too. Now, Fallout 4 had too short questlines, building is garbage, UI is garbage, because it relies too much on a console controller, the dialogue system was just horrible and the graphics are from 2011, while the game itself came out in 2015/16. Overall i still enjoyed Fallout 4, but with Fallout 76 they just put a lot of nails in their own coffin. Would be best, if they scratched the multiplayer idea of 76 and put the rest back in Fallout 4, namely the new monsters, all the new weapons (Although i am very disappointed about the outcome of the MG42 in Fallout 76. This weapon was one slaughterhouse of a gun and Bethesda's version of it is not better than the pipe guns in the game) If Bethesda isn't changing. They will be done in a few years.

@@Haggysack2k8 First of all non of the Bathesda games were actually completely bugfree. All games from ES arena to 76 were full of bugs but still those games were successful (except 76)becoz the game was good. Non of the developer had tried that level of rpg and open world before Bathesda. Even some companies did copied their openworld structure like how Witcher 3 was similar wrt to it's trading system and inventory management. Also one rectification- Obsedian didn't made FNV on their own. They were dependent Fallout 3's resources to make it. Are u blind enough to see that Fallout 3 and NV are exactly same in terms of graphics and gameplay. So in sort Obsedian only enhanced Fallout 3 and added new features like iron sights,mods and crafting to the game. NV might had new map but it still used the same texture and engine to that of Fallout 3. Also Fallout NV was also a victim of crashes so u should also blame not only Bathesda but also Obsedian for that. Now for Fallout 4 it didn't gave best story and dialogues but it was more better in gameplay than 3 and Nv. It had FPS issues but didn't crash that often it would on Fallout 3 and NV. Now don't act like a bitch for Skyrim. It did had a decent story and good dlcs like Dragonborn and dawnguard. Now as far as I know of ES6, they confirmed it that it will have photorealistic graphics and new game engine. So that is something good. I can't tell if it is going to be good or bad but it's something they have said so far. Also I do think it will be the last chance for Bathesda. If they mess with ES6, it will make lots of fans angry.

Also your comment is only going to be your opinion. Whatever u say doesn't make it false that Fallout 3 was game of the year. So bad games can't make up to that title. Even Fallout 4 still had it's good sides when it comes to power armor,gameplay, companion interaction and graphics.
