You have a different opinion or has something changed?
Oh no not at all lol. I was mainly making a joke. Everyone talks about how old the engine is and all that.
I wasn't referencing the FO76 complaints really, although they got lumped into the comment I know. I can understand the view point some folks have towards it and being unhappy with how it was released and other issues.
The old whining I referenced comes from seeing the same tired old posts coming from the same people over and over anytime a Beth game is mentioned. Heck you don't even have to have the thread on it. Even a whiff of a connection to a Beth game can bring out the same people with their same tired posts about how Fallout 1 and 2 are the only real FO's, how all Beth games suck, blah, blah, blah. Just gets old, to me at least. So I rolled my eyes and made a bad joke. Bad on me.
As for the topic of the actual FO76 game - not a fan. My dislike is not based on the game play though. I have never played it so can hardly make judgements on something I have no direct experience with. Well I could but when it comes to games I think its better to first play them before getting into comments on the game play itself. Not that I haven't sometimes done it anyway
Just try not to.
But there are some things I can base a decision on without playing:
- Not a fan of online games in general these days
- Strongly dislike any form of PVP what-so-ever in any shape or form
- Very strongly dislike microtransactions in any game, online, co-op, or single.
- Dislike the idea of no NPC's in the world
- I prefer games that have companions in them (NPC ones not other people, I get enough real people in real life)
I am also hesitant about some other things based on what I have read but I would have to actually play the game myself to see if my experience would match what I read ... and because of the previous reasons I don't feel compelled to pick it up. If I get it as a gift then I will try it at least.
In short the game offers me very little of what I like in games. If it gets all patched up, if they make private servers, if it gets a heavy modding base ... maybe I would have more interest.
