I just started Fallout 76 for real last night and have pretty much been playing it ever since with just sleep in between. I played for a little bit previously and enjoyed the beginning of it, but bounced off pretty quick.

Taking a break at the moment. I dedicated myself to it and bought the 50% off month of Fallout 1st so that I could play in a private world for a while whist I did the missions and get some levels under my belt.

No, it’s not down to nostalgia. The first two games had good stories with strong and charismatic characters, which were additionally expanded upon in the early novels.

UGH. Give me Mad Max 2 or at least co-develop Rage 3 with Id. No interest in Just Cause.

It sucks. Cod doesn’t have anything to be afraid from this game.

I wonder if it will connect to any of the other games

Wow, it’s really that rough? What happened to it? Did they fly too close to the sun alas too much of CoD at home instead of mixing up to be similar but different.

What does that mean ?

It’s 4/20 which is like a weed smoking day

Thanks :wink:

I feel like I’ve seen it all before.

People playtesting the game say it’s rough, so all the fans are intrigued and begin the “OMG OMG, not buying it this year…”

Then the trailers are shown and they go : “oh wow, that looks way better than I thought”.

Then they play the beta and say “that it reminds them of older COD”, whatever it is, because there’s just so many games.

Those still on the fence look at streams and see that it’s COD and buy the most expensive edition on a whim. And I’ll probably be one of them.

Maybe I’m being stupid here but why is Tom referring to it as a COD stress test? Isn’t it a XDefiant stress test? :thinking:

It’s a joke reference to xDefiant.

It’s a joke. Remember, this game is heavily reference to CoD from style to gunplay to old devs to influencers headlining it and so on.

Yeah, I may… have missed the joke and took it literally… that’s on me ! Ah ah !

Still funny to think that at this point, COD is almost more of a template or a recipe for making a popular FPS than a franchise. You can copy it, it still won’t be the same as the original !

Theyre churning out these fucking Far cry games like AC yet no splinter cell. Fuck off Ubi.

Ah I thought I was missing something :joy:. Makes sense, I don’t see anything dethroning CoD (even if it’s better) for a long time.

@Doncabesa said on the podcast that Shadow of the Tomb Raider is not the definitive edition, it definitely is and I just downloaded it to confirm.
