A fallout game should not be defined by how fUN it is, the political nature of it must be taken into account about the dangers of nuclear warfare and the ethics of a post-nuclear world after. Black Isles sought to make a while dead and wasted world, feel alive with characters and factions that inhabit it that don't feel out of place and would make sense within the setting. Nuclear weapons should not be played off as a gameplay feature to be used willy nilly, the moment we enter that mind set proves how far detached we are from the horrors it brings.


didnt even see this at first whoops

tbh the nuclear weapons are gameplay features dont even bother me

why do they bother you?

Yes, ignore my post. Go for the easy one.
fam can you stop trying to start an argument on a video game thread where we wanna talk about the fun we had

We don't care that you don't like the game and don't think it's deep enough to have all the social commentary so you can act like some stupid indie hipster and think you're super duper cool

we want to have fun

Look, Fallout as a series has had a nice emphasis on philosophy, politics, ethics and morals. However Bethesda is a jack of all trades, master of none. In my personal opinion, titles such as those made by Black Isle Studios and Obsidian were more nuanced and 'better' than that of titles like Fallout 4.

But, in the end the point of a video game is to have fun. If you're not having fun when interacting with an entertainment media, then what's the point really? If people enjoy a game, they don't really need a reason for it.

The bugs and relentless lazy development of Fallout 76 is another thing to discuss entirely though

Honestly, my main gripe with it is the repetitive bugs that feature in each title, like the 'speedhack' bug related to higher FPS. Since that's been present Fallout 3, NV, and 4 I woulda thought that they'd of looked for these kinda things beforehand.

eh, its not really something you massively notice, but it's definently something that needs to be fixed.

honestly, i want the enemies to be leveled a bit better

And I don't want it to suffer a slow death as it becomes completely unrecognizable from the games that came before, ignoring the OG fans from the golden days of the franchise to only appeal to people who wouldn't even care about the game to begin with.

But the game is fun I guess.
