Fallout 76 - online Fallout spinoff from Bethesda - now on Steam with Wastelanders NPC expansion

[Life of the Party]

Rust

Obsidian-made spin-off or fuck off.

Who knows, maybe someone will be able to reuse the online code they are going to add to the engine to mod Fallout 4 and provide the Ultimate Co-op Experience!

 

[Hellion]

At least it's more honest to market it as an online survival spin-off, rather than presenting it as Fallout 5 or "the next great RPG" or something.

It's still going to be shit, but its shittiness can be judged on its own merit rather than as an official sequel.

Ohboy.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

lol who cares

wait, you people are still gonna play it, aren't you?

If it's any kind of online crap, no. Hell no.

 

[Kyl Von Kull]

man, I'm kind of glad it's probably going to be online. this way I won't even be tempted to buy it. Thank you, Todd Howard, for freeing me from the corpse of this franchise.

If you thought Bethesda's handling of the Fallout franchise was bad, wait till they retroactively make the Fallout universe even worse.

They're done mangling the corpse, now they're going to wear it as a skinsuit. This is probably EA C&C4 levels of bad.

If this is going to be in West Virginia, I can't wait for Blaine to chime in with comments :D (I think he was from there)

No, I'm from Virginia, the home state of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and the base of operations for most of the United States' aircraft carrier fleet.

Funny, there is no East Virginia.

West Virginia exists because they wanted to get away from the pedophiles in Virginia.

"Our future begins in vault 76" So the Enclave were just written out? Good, I guess. The further the distance between nuFallout and Fallout the better, if just for the sake of dropping all pretensions.

100+ pages before June 1.

What's a fallout?

Everyone who is not excited for this amazing game is not allowed to be called as Fallout fans. Every fallout game is amazing. True fallout fan buys every fallout game and gives them good review and never talks anything bad about it.

Went in with low expectations and Bethesda managed to even shit on those. Kind of depressing that they're still too creatively bankrupt to ever imagine a Fallout game that starts outside of a Vault.

Vaults are integral parts of Fallout universe. Fallout without vaults would be like Star wars without light sabers and Solo shows how well that went when they abandoned most important part of the universe.

Predicting that 99% of the Codex will play and secretly enjoy it and threads about it will still be made 10 years later.

In 2028 I will quote this post and say "Told you so".

An online game might just be the thing that frees the Codex from the Siren Song of the Todd.

That depends entirely on Loverslab.

It's okay to indulge guilty pleasures like Fallout and anime as long as you don't pay for them.

Even the Fallout BOS team had the vision to create a Fallout game where your MC wasn't a Vault Dweller.

Who the fuck is changing this thread title? The Jew based on unconfirmed reporting by fucking Kotaku?

 

[RNGsus]

Welcome to fabulous 2876! We aren't lazy; it was nukes, I swear!

 

[Sranchammer]

Cant.

Fucking.

Wait!

 

[Prime Junta]

stick a fork in it, the rpg genre is dead

I think online part will be handled by second studio (Battlecry studios are working with Bethesdas's main studio on this project) and will be something along the lines of "Build your own city along with other players in this shiity mode". This will be set 20 years after the war, so it might have at least some though put into setting. I hope this is not full-multiplayer shit.
