I will not be preordering it. Considering how D3 turned out, I will take a wait and see approach. If it isn’t good, I will continue playing D2 and Grim Dawn for my ARPG fix.

I live in a busy part of Los Angeles, pay for faster than normal internet, and still get hit with periods of time where my internet is either laggy or dropping every few minutes (mostly weeknights). I appreciate this new “run into other random people online” feature, but I would also appreciate the option to not need…

Yes, we are. Single player should *not* require an internet connection.

“Other players crossed my path during my travels, and we were able to help each other out or even participate in world events to defeat unique world bosses.”

And I suppose it’s once again going to require a constant internet connection even for single player?

I wish this game series would see an optional (!) third person perspective and a solid character creation.

You’re right. That sounds crazy.

May I introduce you to Outer Worlds as a nice stop gap

Just play The Outer Worlds, it’s better anyway.

There are suckers who have already signed up for Fallout 1st? They are ruining this for everyone. What we want is a new Fallout game, not keep a broken game alive. 

Lets be honest, they’re monetizing whales to keep the game afloat. They likely don’t have enough revenue coming in as nobody new is coming in, so they need to extract more money from the players they do have. It takes money to keep these live service games afloat and Fallout 76 isn’t making enough to justify the cost…

I am getting it exclusively for the animated classics, but I might watch an episode of The Mandalorian to check it out.

Who would have thought making multiple games with the same basic premise, same consumer base, and releasing them close to each other might impact sales and consumer fatigue. I am shocked! SHOCKED!

waaaaaaait a sec, is voting with one’s wallet working?

That ad is actually pretty good with the guest appearance of his wife/girlfriend or whoever that was. Pretty funny

Go. Be free. Service games are trash and only exploit FOMO. I deleted two of them and in the last month I’ve finished 4 games. I’m actually happy to go play games again and I’ve been having more fun than i have the last 2 years.

It’s the luck of the draw. You have to manually re-subscribe with Twitch prime subs, so assuming the majority of his losses were from that then Ninja just wasn’t streaming the days they had a Twitch Prime to burn and itchy fingers found another person to use it on. Lord knows I bounce my Prime sub around to various…

At this point, Bethesda’s just trying to see what they can get away with. Gotta nail that bullshit monetization strategy before Elder Scrolls 6. 

You really are desperate for a boogeyman. I’ll let your comments speak for themselves.

“At the time [of the Polygon article] he was the most popular Fortnite streamer, played with all of the other popular guy streamers... essentially making it a club that female Fortnite players were left out of.”
