Fallout 76 wasn't supposed to survive...

Fallout 76 was Bethesda at it's worst and most people still think of Fallout 76 as Bethesda failing. When Fallout 76 came out the Fallout series was a little hurt by Fallout 4 but I would argue but Bethesda was up there with Rockstar in terms of game developers. Bethesda games were untouchable until Fallout 76 happened. It wasn't even just Fallout 76 gameplay being bad it was Bethesda themselves being horrible to consumers. It was the Fallout to end Fallout, however now that 6 years have gone by on a nostalgia driven whim we all decided to give Fallout 76 another chance in 2024 and it's left me feeling conflicted. Clearly, as I just massively overedited my thoughts on it and had a fantastic time. Hope it give you a giggle.

I definitely rode with the crowd when F76 first game out, it was a mess back then, but this lowkey makes me want to try it for myself. It's kind of a bummer so many big games like this are only "fixed" after several years of, essentially, extended early access. But I'll give them some points back for at least putting in the effort and keeping at it for so long.

[@thetraviler]

I played FO76 the day it came out with two of my buddies. All of the quests were involved tracking down dead people and talking to robots. Like that was literally all there was, because Todd REFUSED to put human NPCs into the game clinging to the belief that "the players should make the story themselves." Lemme say, it was a godawful idea. I played again a few years later when they added NPCs and it really did make the game better.

I'm 55. You sound like you're close to my son's age - similar memories, same school trip to DC looking at Fallout 3 monuments, all that. Of course, old me was playing these games before he was born and it's become a legacy thing. We're from West Virginia, and he and his friends were crushed when 76 was released in the state it was in. That game was hyped so hard here. But I'm old, ya know. I've seen things 😁. As big of a Fallout fan as I've been, I let 76 sit for three years before I touched it. Oh, I kept track of it, from the Internet Historian's scathing fire through all the update videos over the years, waiting until it seemed stable and user-friendly enough to jump in. And, ya know, it worked. 76, to me, is an excellent, magical Fallout game, and at one point I played it exclusively for over a year. Not perfect, but great nonetheless. Eventually, even my son - who was burned by it at launch - came back as well. It was the real thing now. And hey, they even have a POI from the town we live in in the game (The World's Largest Teapot), even if our town itself was omitted. If anyone's interested, I did a guitar cover of Bethesda's version of "Country Roads" on my channel in 2018, which was obviously still long before I actually played the game.

With how much time I put into the game I can't validate restarting. When I did play however my main character (over level 300), was an old grandma. I always cooked tons of food and handed it out with some Nuka-Cola. To me 76, by far, has the best RP possibilities of any Fallout game. And the joy I felt when I would give 'youngins' some food and drinks and their excited replies, made amazing memories. I get the hate for how buggy it was at launch, however most were squashed in the first 6 or so months. It's a game I love and still hop on to play occasionally.

the secret to Fallout First is buy the $12 per month membership and cancel immediately so you don't get a recurring charge but you still get to put all your scrap/junk in an unlimited junk box and you can use a shelter anywhere if you are too heavy to fast travel then off load your stuff to your camp through the shelter then fast travel. Even after you 30 days are up and you can no longer put stuff in the unlimited junk box you can still take stuff out of it to craft. So basically pay for one month, cancel, put as much junk as you can in those 30 days then you should have plenty of junk to craft for a long time

@@netherwarrior6113 They don't, and probably never will until more videos like this start changing public perception. Fallout 76 is considered a scam and a failure while No Man's Sky is considered an accomplishment, yet they started the same way, but no youtuber wants to give Bethesda the time of day, understandably so. Yet, the players of both games on steam are somewhat similar. If only Bethesda wasn't selling a subscription, this game would have been a massive hit now, the subscription is what's harming the game in my honest opinion. If they got rid of it and made its content available to all players but kept the cosmetics shop, this game would flourish and see some big numbers of chill people flowing in to hang out in each others camps, and even bigger profits for BGS.

I’ve been a fallout fan since 2010 and I regret not playing 76 2-3 years ago when it started getting all the love. But what’s important is that Bethesda never gave up on it.. they pushed through and have also hired modders from the mod community to work on DLC’s. the base map is also getting an expansion in a few months as well which I’m pumped for. I’m glad I returned to West Virginia, and I intend on staying.

I have a cumulative 1500+ hours on Skyrim through different saves since 2011, 600+ on Fallout 3.

Unfortunate Ghost here. I've been playing since beta, with the occasional 3-4 month long break when it gets tedious. For me, a lot of the fun in Fallout is exploring and feeling immersed in the world, and since 4- building. Fallout 76 allows me to build cool little immersive camps, and if you know all of the little tricks/hacks to building, you can make them truly spectacular, and has a lot of ground to cover. For a lot of us veteran players, the stories and quests are more or less in the rear-view, although I rush to them when new ones get added, and the game is more of a post-apocalyptic sims or something, where we're grinding for specific rare cosmetics/plans, building our camps, filling and running our vendors (I sell about 10-20k Caps worth of scrap per login, plus tons of legendary weapons), running the events to show off our godroll weapons and armor, and hanging out in the wasteland with friends. 76 has a TON of space for people who just want Fallout 5+multiplayer, but the end game really is Fallout with Friends + Fashion.

I have access to play it now, don't know if I will, but interesting to see how much we talkin about fallout again after the show. Very nostalgic

[@Travybear1989]

Man... I HATED Fallout 4 in every way other than it's gameplay and graphics, it was a pretty game but lacked the excellent roleplaying options, setting, factions, story, and most of all excellent writing of New Vegas. I had to mod the living hell out of Fallout 4 to enjoy it and I'm not even kidding, I think that when I played it I had over 60 active and deployed mods compared to New Vegas where I just used a handful. Fallout 76 was alright but suffered from similar issues to Fallout 4 and the lack of roleplaying and no ability to mod it really hurt it. I suggest trying out New Vegas or Fallout 2 if you can, as a long-time enjoyer of the series those two games are excellent, both are easily in my top 10 favorite games of all time up there with Shin Megami Tensei 2, Deus Ex, The Witcher 3, Yakuza 0, Ocarina of Time, Smackdown Here Comes the Pain, Gothic 2, and Street Fighter 3rd strike. I couldn't say if New Vegas or the second game are better, both are equally good in their own ways.

[@gentlemangamerec7025]

I have played Fallout 76 Since beta. For many of us Ghosts, it was a long road for the game to be considered "good". Fallout 1st, the absurd microtransactions, the acquiring by Xbox. All of these could have been the straw the broke the camels back. But somehow, through a loving community, feedback, and righting wrongs, 76 is now in a good state.
