- Another game undone by a release that was as hyped as it was botched. Fallout 76 marked Bethesda's first foray into the online live service world and it was...quite something.
5 years and many updates later, I felt like giving it a go from the most objective standpoint I could muster as a long time fan of these games.

#fallout76 #gamepass - Hry
I just realised that Fallout 76 does not hide the Shadowplay instant replay/recording icon when saving video so ignore everything good I said, worst game ever tbh
Oh my goodness. 🤦♂️
You've got to be kidding me. Your internet is definitely horrible or something. I've been playing it for awhile now and I don't run into like any of the bugs/glitches you were complaining about. (Nearly 1000 hours now)
I honestly think your issue could be the fact that your playing on PC.. Get a PS5.😅
@@cheefnanook 🤦♂So then its an optimization issue... You're idea of fixing his issue is to spend $400 or more, what a crap solution for prospect new players that might be having a similar issue. I play on PC and didn't have issues as he did, the point is that those issues are a turn off and should be fixed by devs.
@@mrwatch4257 First off.. it's (Your) not (You're). You're -> "You are idea of fixing..".?
Secondly, console wars have ended and PC ended up on the bottom. Gaming on PC these days compared to gaming on a console is no longer the more optimal and smooth gameplay route. Not only do you pay more for assembling a computer.. but you end up with either just barely the same performance or worst.
@@cheefnanook Says the person doing 10 second videos with his handy from his television....At the day a new console comes out it´s technically already behind as it´s component details get determined 1-1,5 years before manufacturing start. If the experience of a game on the pc is worse then on the console there is only one reason - lazy developer conversion just to grab an additional market.
@@andreasc.2182 Lmao 🤣 Wtf does the fact that I recorded some videos with my phone years and years ago have to do with anything we're talking about? I can just go download Share Factory right now for free and start actually making content if that would appease you oh master high elf from the North 🧝♂️
The short bit about getting a fully upgraded shotgun and then passing it on to another newbie when you outleveled it makes me think they should lean into that aspect of cooperative play.
Give you the ability to mark your user name into the weapon - either as part of the texture or just as flavor text. After a while it'll have a long history of users as it gets passed on.
8:47 That's not stuttering, that's your enemies using the old version of VATS against you! Doesn't feel so good to be on that end, now does it?
you win...the internet is yours rotfl ;)
It's a fun game but after they take the servers offline, all that time and money is a waste.
Not sure if that’s gonna happen.
It'll be a long long time before they take the servers offline and Bethesda confirmed that.
That’s true of literally every game. They are all dead when they take or reduce those servers offline.
One thing not mentioned here that I really enjoyed about fo76 is the screenshot picture mode system. Your loading screens will consist of a mix between Bethesda's professional screenshots and your in-game screenshots. This encourages me to actually use the picture mode system as I like making funny loading screens that make waiting not too bad.
regarding game issue vs online issue, the broken animations and strange ai behavior (including them easily losing players) is also an online issue! the server has to figure out what the AI should be doing and communicate that to all of the players, but... well to be blunt i don't think fallout 76's servers are top of the line LOL- rather, i think the developers have intentionally limited the AIs abilities to parse actions and respond to prevent server crashes, by limiting their perception outside of combat and making them give up combat quickly, which means that there will be less enemies in combat at a given moment- if an AI is unable to properly respond to all the stimuli it's getting, it may act a little funny- even though it may seem like the devs could be more generous with what they allow their neutered AI to do, keep in mind how the game behaves during chaotic events with enemy hoardes and sometimes a dozen players at once, all using different weapons and abilities that often come with cool explosive effects
in fact, with a few exceptions like game balance, i really think that almost all of the downsides and quirks i've seen in the game (which, don't get me wrong there's a LOT of quirks) can be explained with "this is a game that was made by a small, mistreated and underfunded team of developers whos game (which was made in an engine made for an entirely different genre of game) was poorly received, but maintains a small cult following" and suddenly it's like ohhhh that's why the gauss rifle often feels like it cancels its own shots, it's because the game designed for fantasy single player text-heavy RPGs on these shitty servers sometimes fails to register me releasing the primary fire button before i release my ADS key, causing the second action to cancel the first, and it would probably take them reworking their entire system that determines which actions will cancel others, which may be difficult considering that they have a small team and players want Actual content after months of hard work, not a bug fix on a weapon few people even use...
i feel like with as little resources as the original team was given and how little support they seem to still receive, i feel obligated to judge it not as a AAA game with some flaws, but rather as a project by a smaller studio with limited resources who managed to make something really cool despite how impossible it should have been to do
The game ain't bad, hell it can be pretty good at times but my god is its potential squandered...
Still, good video!
Just a minor thing with the using of consumables. It's not lag. If you've just respawned or loaded into a zone you get a 10sec instance where you can't use items but also at the same time you don't lose any AP. So basicly just wait 10 seconds after spawning or loading in before you start using items
Man sorry the stutter was me when i join my connectoins so bad it infects the other routers
They need to remove fast travel in order to force ppl to travel together in groups of four left for dead style we should be struggling to get from camp to camp not happily skipping across Appalachia
started playing this 1 week ago and having a blast, no crashes and 2 bugs so far, no disconnects. just love going exploring and collecting matts for my builds etc
I restarted playing this game on PS5 and my god does it look and run good on that machine. Got a free update for PS5 users (though not an official PS5 upgrade) with a locked 60fps and only occasional minor drops.
Missed out on C.A.M.P's some community members build some insanely cool stuff, but otherwise great vid. I agree with aa lot of your points, game is fine but truly not playing into its potential
A potpotron video is like a nicely wrapped gift, the whole unpacking experience, the nice card on the box, the gift itself being exactly what you wanted. Loved this early Christmas!
A friend tried to convince me to buy the game but here's a list of what he made me watch him do on share play
1. Talked about how you basically need to pay a subscription if you don't wanna run out of storage while spending over 15mins just sorting random shit
2.went to some flying boss event and spammed it and the entire crowd with endless mininukes that he would glitch fire to get more trays at once
After the boss finally died after like 30 minutes of everyone abusing it and not struggling like they were all punching a wall
My friend then decided to flashbang everyone until they left and try to attack everyone he could with that same multi mini nuke launcher after getting them to agree to pvp
Yeah fuck this game
I want to platinum this game on my main account, done it before on another but the only reason i managed to was due to the 2XP and meeting some die-hard fans online who gave me ammo and other items to help me reach level 100. I was stuck in a place where i just didn't have ammo, stimpaks and fusion cores and would not be able to progress if it wasn't for them.
I recently reinstalled the game just for to check if things have improved over time or not. But it´s still the same repeatable quests, still the same grind, still the same overpowered spongy enemies. If the game shows something then one thing: A Fallout that is just about shooting things might look wide as an ocean (map) but is deep as a puddle......and gets boring pretty fast. There is technically absolutely no role playing beside what clothing you choose and how you make your base look. But that´s just some optical stuff, not really rpg.
This now begs the question: Which one would you recommend to play first, Fall Out 4 or Fall Out 76? Seeming as they share the same assets and but sightly different tone, one could be argued to play one before the other, unless there's a story connection? Anyway, it's always a joy seeing a new video from the legend that is Potpotron!
Largely depends on two factors:
If you want the classic feel and gameplay loop that you might have enjoyed in something like Fallout 3 or Skyrim then play Fallout 4.
If you have a couple of friends to seriously play with then you might have a lot of fun with 76.
If on PC then Fallout 4 just cause of the mods. True story I installed 4 just to get some footage for the video and now I'm playing through it again.
I say 76, its an actual RPG unlike 4 and the world map is much larger as well. Plus a unique story that isnt "Find dad/son". (I know the base game had find the overseer but that questline was made to be part of a larger more fun "bank heist" questline. You also have faction likeness towards you similar to new vegas but not as deep. Although the fact its even there is really nice. Not to mention 76 has about 3 times more content then 4 at this point even with DLC. So....while the game launch was pretty bad its really grown into something any fallout fan should play. Will fallout fans ever give 76 a chance again? sadly prob not but dont let that stop you
I would go for FO4 because it introduced all the models and assets that are reused in FO76. This allows you to see some evolution. You will also be able to compare how they turned down interactivity of the world and removed consequences in the dialogue trees even further in FO76 compared to FO4. If you like FO4s visual style you will see some improvements in FO76 which uses Enlighten and more advanced shaders. FO4 also allows to set a preferred difficulty while FO76 has basically no difficulty at all.
@@Square-0ne No consequences in 76? My brother in christ you can tell a man to kill himself and if.your charisma is high enough he will. You can also become general which makes access to all military bases really easy not to mention it will help you bypass quest objectives. A quest specific weapon will be locked out if you are too mean to a child I mean these sound like pretty good consequences to me. Unless you mean world altering consequences which is obviously not gonna happen as often for an mmo so dont even try to pull that.
@@mrplayfulshade1038 Yes, there are a few examples of limited impact like siding with the settlers or the raiders for the vault raid and even then this is made meaningless again because you can buy plans for gold. Becoming general of the enclave is just the prerequisite to launch nukes and the same for every player. How many generals does the enclave have? Thousands? Some examples of real consequences would mean joining one of the factions locks you out of others and makes them hostile, being able to kill "essential" NPCs if you do not want to do some of the main quests, getting marked permanently as a raider for killing a number X of players and more. In dialogue trees you are currently forced to follow the "golden thread" for the intended outcome, which makes role-playing impossible. Especially in player-instanced environments you should be able to make an impact, like siding with the fanatics in The Pitt. This is not possible in the game.
I got the game for free years ago, and i pay less than 0,20 per month for the "Fallout 1st" pass, decided to give it a try as a level 2, and i find it quite enjoyable, IN MY CASE, i haven't noticed crashes (and my computer is really mid-low end), i haven't really noticed NPC issues or pathfinding ones, and sometimes the ragdolls are fun to watch, peep i found are pretty friendly and helpful, the events are fun to get out of the usual gameplay, i actually find the story intriguing, not the best fallout out there, but IMO it can be called "decent"
Love it. Jusr got into it in August and absolutely love it
I love these diagnostic approaches - once the dust has settled and things are left where they landed 👍
I have 2k hours on this game so it's not that bad I guess
Not surprised, 99% of humans are actually bots.
Good vid, but you can’t forgive studios for release BROKEN products and then “fix it later”
first time watching you! super cool video!!
So you haven't had that many crashes? My sweet summer child, you have played some blessed sessions. Only game that crashes more than 76 is New Vegas, and their issues came from being screwed over on development time by Bethesda. Now these crashes can be modded away in New Vegas, but as you know, modding 76 on such a level is not possible. The last few days i. 76 has been crash central, and my record before deciding to play something else was 20 crashes in a row. I simply wanted to see how bad the crashing would be after nr 8. If I log in one day and have no crashes I'm actually impressed. It can be as much as a week without any crashes, or it can crash 10 times a day, all tied to Bethesdas connection issues. People who cover the game in depth tend to have the same issues.
ITS A GOODD GAME TO ME
Bethesda has intentionally cultivated a very specific type of audience for this game with the gradual removal of PvP and survival elements: the only people left now will gladly lap up whatever new round of cosmetics and definitely-not-pay-to-win "utility" items that show up in the shop while we go another half year without anything meaningful added to the game.
These people aren't interested in new content. They aren't interested in separate game modes. All they want is to sit in their corner of the game world and re-build their camp a couple dozen times over- and they, are the primary player base of this game now and will actively push anyone who isn't them out because they're unaware that they've become the bottom line of a business.
Yay, science card perk buffs, I guess?
The textures not loading in reminds me of how the game ran on my xbox one. 76 runs waaaaay better on next gen. I've been playing since beta and never seen the stuttering your getting. Possibly your hardware?
Overall a solid take, but. Accepting the reused assets is something you should do for two reasons.
First of all the concept of Fallout to begin with is that the world stopped on Oct 23, 2077. This means that no new cars were made, buildings weren't rebuilt, and no new clothes were being made. Everything that exists is mostly the same as it was on that day. That said, they've added a lot of new assets because it is a live service game, that are often quite lore breaking, but whatever. If I want to run around in a cheap godzilla knockoff costume and punch deathclaws in the knees, I can.
Secondly, and probably more importantly, before complaining about "reused" FO4 assets, you need to look at the origin of this game. It was originally meant to be the online mode FOR FALLOUT 4. So obviously a lot of assets were going to be used, it's literally the same game.
I start play FO76 week after Starfield launch 😂 ... i agree with armor what high lvl player give me at lvl 10 ... 3 days after i am lvl37 and still using that armor what give me total 40carry more🎉
The freezing stuff might be a processing power problem
I double the recomended system specs
Can't use any rifle with a scope because it gets stuck looking down the sights and you can't get out of it. Items from your Camp randomly disappear and it's all around pathetically boring!
i've been playing it a few years. it has gotten better, although they have removed some cool stuff too.
I think Fallout 76 is definitely worth giving a shot for anyone that loves the Fallout franchise as a whole.
It is nowhere near as bad as it was on launch, while the game wasn't completely "fixed" it has improved quiet a lot, a lot of new content has been added, and the game is continiously being updated. It helps a lot if you don't venture into the Appalachian non-wasteland alone, if you can manage to convince a few friends to play with you, this game can be a blast.
If it weren't from my backlog, I'd be forced to get my favourite games on Launch Day 😳
it doesnt even launch for me and idk why ive tried every bug fix i do have a modern gaming pc it just doesnt lauch xd
it use to run as smoothly as fallout 76 can get ig xd
76 is the best game I've played in a looong while, and to me, it's worth paying for fallout 1st. Every unlock, every new shelter or event is amazing. I can't imagine how bleak it was before the wastelanders update, but as it stands now, it's the best game on the market.
I played since beta, and part of me liked it better before the wastelanders. But since wastelanders added so many new quests, I don't wish to go back. Only things I want back are survival mode and nuclear winter.
For me it's gone beyond the fact that my entire childhood has been strip-mined, reanimated and pimped out to being home more paper for Daddy....
It's that t h e y know that we know. Rather than apply a personality enema to flush out these parasitic norms.....they're busy lacing some other franchise with corrosive additives.
This game decision to limit your stash to 1200 is the only thing that make me can't give this game positive rating on steam.
Countless time where my gun out of ammo, armor is in pieces and I can get enough scrap to fix it because my stash is full.
I beg to differ. A limited stash is a smart way to parent the players to make decisions and not hoard every item. (and also a means to reduce bloat on the server side - the game already struggles enough on populated instances) I had basically every item in the game in the last 4 years and 90% of it sat unused in the stash box until I dropped all the surplus stuff. As the old saying goes - you travel better with a lighter backpack. And they offer a solution for ammo and scrap storage - Fallout 1st. (which helps to keep the game afloat financially, albeit barely)
I love it!
Graphics ok
Gameplay ok
Is it a Bethesda game yes
Does it crash when you do
LITERALLY ANYTHING….YES
Nothing would ever prompt me to buy a broken game like this. Why would anyone? Who... let this go into sales?
Never played Desteny2 i take?
The technical issues have gotta be something on your end because I now have over 250 hours in the game using wifi and a pc that's a few years old and the only one that has been a frequent issue for me is the weird visual bug that happens to the trees. My rendering isn't that bad (as far as I've noticed), enemies/npcs don't tend to get lost or bugged very much (as far as I've noticed), and my game definitely does not stutter even close to that much (I mostly only stutter when I initially get close to a player's camp).
It's a live-service game designed to make money, of course the quality of life stuff like infinite stash is behind a paywall lol. However carry weight itself is only punishing at the start of the game. If you head up to the pioneer scout camp at the very top of the map (look for the butterfly on the map, it's the tower that's between that and the dam) and do the order of the tadpole quest you are rewarded with the crafting recipe for a bigger backpack. And then if you farm out some possum badges you can buy the recipe for an upgrade for your backpack that increases your carry weight even more. And along with the pcketed armor and perk cards that you've shown there are also legendary gear perks that reduce the weight of the weapon or piece of armor they're on, or there's some that even reduce food/aid/junk carry weight.
Dismantling weapons does sometimes unlock mod recipes, it's just a random mod instead of the ones that are actually on that weapon.
There's absolutely no reason to try and max out every perk card, there's plenty you're probably never even going to touch. Find a build online you think you might like, aim for that, and try to stick with that build until you're past like level 100 or something and scrap the rest of the cards you get that aren't useful to you so you can level up the legendary cards (maybe also keep a couple of the more useful utility cards so you can swap them in if you ever need them). I have like 60 card picks or something dumb like that available because I have all the cards I need for my current build and all the utility cards I currently care about. Eventually I'll just use those picks on random cards and instantly scrap em for perk coins but I just can't be bothered currently.
Good game with a good amount of initial content for new players. Trade community is dying though. Pvp is unbalanced and dead ( was better w legacys ) No new content for legacy players. Besides roll "new" (not new..) weapons.
Entry camp building is bad.
Mid camp building is good.
Long term players camp building is very good.
Events getting beyond repetitive.
Pretty much sums up fallout 76. End game is just gambling for specific legendary prefixes. This is why I dont recommend the game to my friends.
Good points and I would like to add - completely broken in game economy (hyperinflation of caps and items), overabundance of ammo and aid items, pampering new players with "donation boxes" and other BS, unkillable/undownable NPCs, difficulty - nonexistant, broken OP builds and weapons with no enemy that would require these type of damage, actually harming the flow and enjoyment in every multiplayer event (boss fights lasting 3 minutes)
Played it over 500h. I still prefer Fallout 4 for some reason.
Dont forget seasons and updates/expansions are free. The only money they make is from the atom shop and original game purchase which is pretty cheap atm.
Fallout 1st only gives you free unlimited Scrap and (recently) Ammo storage. Even considering that scrao would at most really only take about 100-200 (300 if you really hoarded and never sold the bulk off) and the worst things ammo wise are energy ammo, missiles, and Mini nukes. (they don't count cores as ammo) it will only save you about a quarter of your stash.
You can't store anything but scrap in the scrap box. Not even junk.
Also especially if you have scrounger. Duffle bags, Ammo Cans, footlockers, safes, and some misc. Containers will have the ammo of the current weapon you're using. Aswell as human enemies, who will also drop that ammo. This helps phenomenally with the so called prep work.
The best thing is the challenges.
Best way to get Atoms and premium items. The new scoreboard system doesn't net you as many atoms as the old weekly/daily challenges. But the new rewards are a mix of unique items and premium consumables.
The World space and the Community are what has kept me playing. I love building and sharing experiences with my fellow players.
If you like Fallout 4 and don't mind sharing the wasteland a little. It's more Fallout 4 with new challenges.
Ive started the game 2 weeks back, but allways were a big Fallout Fan. I love it. Grinding the flair its what i love about Fallout in general.
Fallout 76 is better now than launch so I can't fault anyone from getting it now. I enjoyed it with some friends on gamepass instead of buying it. I can't forget a launch like that. Same with cyberpunk. However if you prefer single player games get Starfield instead. As a single player experience it's the best Bethesda has put out since Oblivion.
Get Fallout 1st. It is worth it. I’m ranked over 400, Been playing damn near everyday for about a year and a half and I’m still unlocking stuff everyday. Don’t get into it if you don’t have the time. It’s a grind at the beginning but when you get good, you can coast on it for an hour or 2 a day
28:00 As a long time Bethesda fan, played Starfield for an afternoon and then went back to 76. Spend more time DLing and updating Starfield than actually playing it.
2024. And still full of Bug&Glitches and Never ending Loading screens. But Hey Bethesda updates the INGAME Shop EVERY WEEK!!
Well Played GAMERS 😂🤣
This game is brilliant so much to do. Fnv was my favourite this is close to it
If you compared explosive shotguns to other guns with explosive you will notice its lower, shotguns gets 3% bonus dmg from explosive effect where as rifles ect get 20% thats because they nerf shotguns to point where they arent viable at higher levels
Most weapons in every weapon class are viable as in "gets the job done". Like the combat shotgun - czcams.com/video/ZvOK_BgdYH8/video.html
@@Square-0ne I see they just buffed their way to make it good, it only took +200% crit DMG from food and magazines
Dude I started playing this game I mean I have almost 5000 hours into it and when I started playing this game it was two years before I couldn’t completed the main store request because there’s just so much to explore in the world. I got sidetracked every time I started trying to do a quest exploring locations wondering what happened they’re reading the tapes And listening to the tapes, reading the the the notes in the papers and I had that I literally had to push myself to go finish the story because I didn’t. I just kept getting sidetracked from doing it the world. It is blue is really cool now it’s overloaded with two goddamn mini MPC‘s for a post apocalyptic world. How the fuck did all the cult members survive. Why didn’t they all get the scorched a plague I mean there’s just so much wrong with the world as it is now because Bethesda caved And put a shit load of MPC’s in the world they should’ve had robots dishing out quests like they did with Rosie robots would’ve been immune to the scorch plague way more explainable they’re everywhere already, and they don’t impact the exploration of the world now everywhere you go, you find cultist that somehow were immune to the plague And if you don’t find cultist, you find scavengers or try one faction or another here in there it’s just not a post apocalyptic world the emerging factor of a desolate world that was ravaged by a plague doesn’t exist anymore. I mean if they wanted to do this sure they could’ve brought some people back and inhabited one of the towns or something about the whole fucking map my opinion, they ruined the immersion of this game, and they made it impossible to reconcile the events that occurred because there’s absolutely no fucking way when every other human being and Appalachian died except the people inside the vault how the fuck did the cultus survive
I am enjoying 76. It is not bad anymore.
Lmao 😅 76 isn't bad at compared to when it first came out. Almost have 1000 hours in it now. There is occasional visual bugs. But the AI definitely aren't as bad as you made them out to be. Your video seems quite misleading concerning the actual issues that are present..
The enemy "AI" is the most basic. Its a script that has 3 NPC states, idle, alerted and combat. The NPCs can not jump over obstacles and bugs like NPCs not reacting or taking cover behind nonexistent obstacles still happen regularly. And this is something they could work on, as it does not require any new assets and modelling but they chose not to. Same for the buggy pathfinding and tracing of all NPCs. Instead of improving the algorithm they allowed the game to teleport NPCs whenever the engine gets stuck. Which also affects player allies defeats the purpose of any doors and fences.
its not that bad i've only had 2 issues and i've played pretty far into the game
As someone who's actually played the game quite extensively now and watched it evolve (into a worse state... ew NPCs....)
I can tell you how bad it is id wager... Less bad (aka better) than fallout 4 :)
Id wager if you actually gave it a chance instead of going in expecting to hate it you might have fun... Buuuut you cant convince a flat earther the earth is round because they KNOW for a FACT its flat... just like you KNOW for a """fact""" fallout 76 is bad and not one of the better bethesda games to date....
I don't know why people hate on this game. It is one of my favorite games of all time. If you don't like the damn game don't play it pretty f****** simple.
Because it could be a genuinely good game - the game world and expedition environments are made with a lot of care and beautiful. But the gameplay is lacking severely. The devs are unable or lack the courage to implement the neccessary changes. Instead they pamper their Discord echo chamber. It is always one step forward and one to two steps back - like the adjustments to the damage calculation formula. MULT - ADD - and MULT again. The recent downgrade of most enemies, removal of content (Hunter Hunted, Legendary Hunter Teams, The Messenger event, The original Halloween Event, Mischief Night, Vault Raids and so on) , the broken in game economy, lack of meaningful choices in quests, meaningless events. And dont get me started on the low health "builds", one of the biggest problems in the game trivialising every piece of content.
@@Square-0ne yeah I understand...it does crash a lot and I get blue screened like 2 or 3 times a week maybe. Freezes on me during important events...it is really buggy. I still love it tho lol you can do so much...build camps visit other players camps..some of the camps I've seen were incredibly intricate...crafting all kinds of stuff ..always on the grind for the damn tattered field jacket lol at least I am..and the daily idle explosives is not allowing me to repeat it daily. Idk what's up w that. One less thing I can do to try and get the field jacket tho. Hope it gets fixed. But yeah I have complaints too but I guess I'm just simple. I appreciate the game for what it is..plus I lost my soul mate this past April...April 24th early morning hours. It has severely crushed my insides. Now all I have are my cats and this game. Sounds pathetic I know. But she was my life and now she is gone. I guess I just try and get lost in the game and forget about reality. But thanks for not being an asshole about it. Usually when someone responds to a comment I make..they for whatever reason try and degrade me and call me names and what not lol like they think some random ass strangers opinion of me really matters to me lol. But ever since Maneesha passed away...I don't give a damn about much.
@@JamesNewman-cq9lwYeah, and i am glad you enjoy it. I played since release and gave BGS probably too much money via the sub hoping they would do the right things. Over the time I saw many chances for fundamental improvements and most of the time the actual updates and contents were on the smaller side. I also participate in the beta testing via the PTS. Many players found and reported new bugs (like the broken slot machines in Atlantic City) but they launched the update with the bugs still being present.
Also the whole "legacy" debacle. Allowing game-breaking weapons to stay in the game for almost 4 years is baffling. I still like to play the game solo once in a while, mostly for finding bugs on the PTS but the multi-player aspect falls apart for me as soon as I or any other mid- to high-level player is able to solo every piece of supposed end-game content in mere minutes. (which also negatively affects the gameplay experience of all other players)
In my opionion Bethesdas aim to appeal to everyone is a root cause that led to some of the bad design decisions and I hope that the recent constructive criticism on their new game makes them reconsider this stance. Anyway, have fun in the Wasteland.
@@JamesNewman-cq9lw It has been a while - I came back to say I am sincerely sorry for your loss. The ability to grief is one of the universal properties that everyone shares. I hope you will find something in the non-game world that is enjoyable to you. (The game will get another update soon which will make it more complete, especially expeditions.)
Regarding life - It may all look bleak and hopeless now, yet there is a chance to experience a new and enjoyable situation as long as we are alive. Kind regards!
@@Square-0ne thank you for your kindness...I finally stopped playing the game recently lol too many crashes and just got boring. I've done everything and I was trying to get the tattered field jacket and after trying religiously for about a year I gave up. I play sports games now which brings me much more entertainment. Thank you again
The enemies are supposed to forget about you when you crouch in inner stealth mode. Assuming you have no requisite high enough agility, and/or the snake cards and escape artist that’s a game mechanic it’s supposed to work that way. I’m not sure that’s really Jang that’s just the game mechanics the way they are however, the other stuff yes the star have the time of creatures don’t just not notice you they freeze when you shoot them. Any chance even Lutel and crashes are abundant I play on the PS five and I crash and crash bar in the last two months that I have in the game of 5000 hours prior the game is is full of crashes and bugs and problems and there’s no such thing as AI quit calling at AI. That’s a miss use of the term NPC‘s. They will not pass the Turing function they do not learn from your actions they just perform programmed actions responses to your actions that’s not artificial intelligence stop calling it that
Most of what you described our server engine I mean no harm engine problems not not server problems not lag problems. They’re just the engine. Gracian engine isn’t up to a massive multiplayer online game. It simply isn’t up to it. It’s always been buggy and Jenkee I mean Christ fall out for wouldn’t be as popular if it was as it is if it weren’t for the fact that you can mind all the problems away most of the problems are related to the engine and use, and that engine is no better and Starfield even though it’s supposedly new in improved, I’ve already seen numerous videos of Starfield people glitching under the terrain, using areas under the train to move around unimpeded, and do things get to a certain chassis and things like that creation engine. It’s just a shitty engine. It will always produce shitty games because it is a shitty engine. I’m not saying darn net code problems there most assuredly are Bethesda is a shitty development company. Certain aspects of Bethesda have succeeded at certain things, but for the most part you can pick up any Bethesda game and it’s full of fucking bugs that have been there for years in some cases here, a decade, you should always expect any but there’s the title I mean the exception is the game that doesn’t have inherent flaws that exist for the entire life of the game. That’s the exception for Bethesda games.
No offense dude but your Internet connection other than the latency of your connection which you didn’t mention but that these outrageously large pipes we have in our household with cable gaming increased over 300 Mb connection to the Internet. That’s pretty wide, but it doesn’t do anything for my gaming because you know it’s 1520 Hobbs from any word anywhere on the Internet hell it’s probably 10/2 10 or 12/2 just to get out of the cable network each hop adds latency to your connection to the game, there’s nothing to be done about that I mean OK there might be some things you can do like a VPNs but for the most part you’re at the whim of your ISP and if your ISP is a cable company, I guarantee that you are deeming you know probably 100 ms of lag just getting out of their net work and in real time gaming that’s a lot But to be sure you could be playing this game on a dial up modem because the amount of data actually transferred for the game is minimal it’s not the size of the pipe. It’s the speed of the pipe dial up modem‘s inherently have 100 ms lag on them so you’re going to have more lag from that but the size of the pipe that the 56K 57 whatever it was that doesn’t matter because you’re only exchanging bytes of information not megabytes That the exchange of information to update your location and your actions all that shit is minimal it could still be done on a dialer modem. The problem with the dial-up modem is the compression algorithms that make like 57 or 56K or whatever possible they automatically add 100 ms of lag it’s inherent in the compression algorithms there’s nothing you can do about it But if you were to pay for Daiwa it was more centrally the thing about dial appraise your ISP is probably closer to the Internet backbone then your cable ISP your cable ISP has a huge net work with tons of routers and and you’re jumping around for 10 or 12 hops just to get out of your cable ISP onto the actual Internet The game is probably pretty close to the backbone but your ISP your connection I mean through your ISP is not so dial-up may actually be an improvement and you could play this game and dial up so it’s not an Internet connection issue at all the only thing are cable Internet connections did for us was give us a more stable, always and connection been allowed us to download things digitally where is downloading an update, or a new copy of this came through OK through a telephone cry still take your week but you could certainly play the game that way.
I’m being facetious and sarcastic when I say yes music that’s immersive in a post apocalyptic world when shit is shooting at you that saying the music isn’t good I’m saying it doesn’t make any sense it doesn’t make sense and TV programs either when they have fucking music playing that’s supposed to create suspense or tension or whatever why is there music playing, this commando guy is sneaking into a facility. Why is their background music doesn’t make any sense whatsoever and it doesn’t belong combat music aside. Yes, there are certain parts of the soundtrack that are good, but Jesus turn that shit off and try to be immersed in the sounds of the environment that you’re in it has its own sounds that aren’t

"How bad is it?" rather than "What is it like?" makes watching the video pointless
Dude, you cannot compare Starfield with this game Starfield as a single player experience there’s no oh gigantic massive world with other players in it. If you do meet another player, I don’t remember Starfield as co-op or totally single player, but it still has many of the bugs and issues due to creation engine, like the ability to go under the map to jump outside the map. Why the fuck does any game allow you to get under the map?
You seem to be really clueless about whole life service games are built and quite frankly how franchises work every franchise uses assets your reference destiny earlier destiny two realizes all kinds of assets from destiny. One I mean Jesus Christ the big chunk of destiny two was the cosmic drone stolen right out of destiny one end to repair even at a lower graphical fidelity in destiny one and a lower frame rate it looks better, I mean you literally start the game in the same place which is all stolen graphical assets from destiny one and it looks better in destiny one as you’re progressing through the cosmodrome pass the tank I mean you really can’t just run past the tank you’re gay, gagged and killed easily. I’m like destiny two where are you? Just run through the area end of the hallway and motor on without worries and destiny. Want you out to stop and look around Destiny one is a better game. The tank is actually difficult it still retains I had forgotten the tanks did this like spitting shanks out the side, dropping those bouncy ball bombs out the side the desk need to take doesn’t do any of that and you actually have to shoot the lake armor off of the original tank to do damage to it at all Destiny two as an endgame player, I can kill that tank over and over again incessantly most of the time by one shotting it with a special on altar, and whatever they’re called just kill it over and over again when you need glitter, you go there to kill the tank and he keeps popping up a Chester glitter and tell you kept off your glitter again in destiny one I don’t care what level you are. You are one shot in that tank because it can’t be damage till you take its legs off, you have to fight it all the shit that spawns around it plus you get taken swarming with you which further complicate the game and make it difficult and rewarding my point though was that everything in destiny two that could be stolen as an asset from destiny, one was 100% stolen every developer reuse the assets You’re on the old saw about not reinventing the wheel if you have a critter and you want that critter in your new game so you don’t make that critter over again you just modify the asset enough change textures a little bit or whatever you do, you do don’t put it in the new game with the higher graphical fidelity of the new game But you don’t completely re-create the wheel every game uses assets. Every single development company has done it it is an age old process that saves them tons of development time and money and I guarantee you one fallout five comes out if they ever bother with it it will reuse assets from fallout four as well, in fact, if you get to look at star field, I’m betting you could find things that look like reused assets train features maybe nothing building related cause I think that’s pretty much a higher tech environment but I’m betting that an experienced veteran can play that game and see assets that were stolen from the foallout universe because again if you’re already on it, you don’t reuse it I mean you don’t waste it you reuse it that’s just normal in the development industry
