A lot of people are talking about news, the team behind the game, what they've heard will be implemented, etc. Based entirely off the gameplay on display, and nothing else whatsoever what are NMA's overall opinions so far?

Elab? Thats an interesting opinion.

I'm curious, despite the well deserved hatred and bad PR, was 76 profitable as an individual product?

Any word on this? I haven't heard much of or seen much of it in a while. What's the current tentative release date, if any

I agree that the dlc fell short and probably should have differed in concept as well as execution but I'm not sure about your ideas. Its pretty obvious the design philosophy was that the dlc should be self contained (whether this is a result of gamebryo or not is unclear), which is why most...

If you evaluate games as a consumer product, then you care only for the entertainment to dollar ratio. And 76 loses because its buggy to the point where its almost unplayable Your point has merit if you evaluate games as art I suppose, but both 4 and 76 are such garbage its hard to consider...

What do you mean by FPS? Would you consider NV an fps? What would you consider "done right"

Its just a slippery slope. All 76 will do to drones is cause them to see 4 with a better light as opposed to the hot garbage it is. Even people who were slightly disappointed by 4 may welcome another installment like it simply because it indicates bethesda is on "the right track". If Bethesda...

It doesn't really matter, and I think thats what's so awesome about the traditional fallout formula. The thing about the east coast is that its relatively diverse topographically, historically, and culturally , and far enough from the west coast that an entirely different set of stories could be...

For me its 76. At least shelter is free.

Hawaii checks all the boxes. It's iconic enough to be recognized by the foreign audience. The topography, wildlife, culture are diverse enough to make a variety of interesting terrain, locations, enemies, NPCs, and factions. It has its own genre of music. It's separated enough from mainland US...

NV is the best on the first 2 playthroughs. Fallout 1 is the best spanning multiple playthroughs.

I'm dead serious. Do you really see them being able to unfuck the lore without mass retcons of lore and possibly even the retcons they already have? Starting from a blank slate also has a host of other advantages, like being able to create games more in tone with fallout 1 (rather in the society...

As far as the farms thing is concerned I wasn't trying to make an umbrella statement, In retrospect my post was pretty hastily written. Lets take New Vegas as an example, because its the game where water isn't central to the themes. I wouldn't give half a fuck if some towns like goodsprings or...

Worldbuilding is an important part of the experience in an RPG but its not the most important part. I consider engagement, agency (choice, consequence), and potential for expression through creativity/problem solving to be more important. If I got enough of these, I could excuse plenty of...

No lol, just do a full AU reboot. Lorecucks will never be pleased at this point anyway.

Even with coop. Imagine how messed up questing and dialogue could get. I would imagine the only way to avoid failing every quest and being forced to kill everything to progress is if you had two players on the exact same page. Two randoms over the internet=disaster for someones save file.

Lmfao I guess even bethesda fans are figuring out the games are shit

That singleplayer isn't gutted for multiplayers sake. Maybe its just in light of fallout 76, but I can't imagine a decent way to implement multiplayer in an RPG without just gutting every important system in the game. Have they gave any details at all on how multiplayer would work? I would...

As it turns out, you need NPCs to tell a decent story. And bethesda were too lazy to put them in the game.
