banning 4 people? there goes half the playerbase.

It’s almost as if being a fanboy just makes you a rube for that company to rip off in the end.

I gotta say November has been a rough month for gamers...FFXV second season has been dragged out back and put down to end it’s misery, Battlefield is a mess, Smash is leaked, Blizzard shits the entire bed and the room, Fallout76 is well....someone okayed this game. Someone said, release this shit to the world.

Yeah the thing i’m always saying to my friends who have all played Bethesda games since before oblivion is that Bethesda games are good - if you mod them.

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but please, don’t let anyone else speak for you—even me.

We lose our voice when we refuse to exercise it--and I guarangoddamntee you that yours has merit.

I...wow.

I’m glad some folks are enjoying this game; everyone has their somewhere they want to be, and that somewhere doesn’t work for other folks—and that’s fine. I enjoy a great many things others think are a waste of time.

This whole kerfuffle, though, comes off as one giant kettle of “we coasted way too hard on a…

I I just compared a consumer electronic product with a consumer electronic product. You you are pretending that this is apples and oranges. It it is not.

part of it has to do with people who expected the Bethesda bare minimum being incensed they wasted their money - they failed to deliver a compelling story and a compelling playground. again, it’s not to the same level as No Man’s Sky, but people DID expect better. Bethesda isn’t a no name new developer, they’ve…

And as has been pointed out, without criticism from gamers, INCLUDING games journalists, the developers wouldn’t *actually* have updates and improvements to make. So why get shitty with a Kotaku writer for pointing out a game’s flaws when that is part of the process for improvement?

I love the game, but it’s a broken bumbling mess.

“I want you to name me a game that the day it came out, hell, even two weeks after it came out, was the perfect embodiment of everything you were promised at a Con or E3 or whatever.”

Absolutely. When I used to buy games they shipped polished because a) there was no easy way of pushing enormous patches and updates, b) reputable developers would not in good conscience ship an unfinished/broken product, and c) no customer would lay down final version cash for the chance to "play" an incomplete game.…

It's stunning what a Bethesda corporate *shill* you are being.

Cool. Next time you order food at a restaurant and they deliver a raw chunk of meat, remember that you’re okay with unfinished product.

You’re a fucking idiot. No Man’s Sky ONLY got fixed because the gaming press called them out on their shit. Final Fantasy ONLY got reborn because the gaming press and players called them out on their shit.

I see that you are suggesting that everyone is sating that the game “isn’t perfectly coded.” I think that’s why your confused. People are saying that the game is hot garbage steeped in old urine. Your phrasing “not coded perfectly” implied that you believe that people just found the game to be a bit underwhelming. But…

I hear you and I don’t think anyone is against your points per se. But the whole point of a gaming press is to monitor and criticize as things happen. Their job isn’t to sit back for four years and then see how things fared. They are like the regular press. And as you can see, the buying public doesn’t seem to be too…

The game is a broken pile of dog shit that no one ever asked for and completely missed the mark with this empty shell of a game, closer to tech demo than a fallout game. Not a decent game with some flaws that are being overblown.

Bethesda is infamous for releasing bug riddled software that survived on the basis of their setting and story. Fallout 76 is one of those games, but they stripped out the only element that was keeping the game above water otherwise. I mean, they released a survival game, where no matter how much you ate, your hunger…

Right, never give a review to a non subscription based game based on what you are given to play because maybe it will be better someday (which the article actually grants).
