Who is still playing this?
>>740590653You will, anon, with the Fallout™ 1st Free Trial going live in less than 3 hours!
>>740590653not me
>>740590653i because im a sunk cost retard, fuck the devs for making this stupid infestation shit when bounty hunts worked fine
>>740590653I bought the game when it was like $7 on sale It's not a bad game if you just want more fallout gameplay. The writing is very bad but the locations are pretty immersive. And all the content like expansions,dlc, etc are all free. You can't really go wrong with it, I took a break after the nuka world area released and now there's like 3 new entire zones with 70hrs of gameplay so I can't complain.
>>740590653>If you're not gonna buy Fallout 1st then don't expect Fallout 5th any time soon, if you catch my drift. Faggot.
>>740594810The TWO new areas are not 70 hours of gameplay you absolute fucking brown retard
i was surprised when finding out people still play things like Destiny and Fo76, they have their own dedicated fanbases
>>740590653me
Have they made froggo a playable character yet?
>>740595005That's how long I spent in em, but I also had friends so maybe that's why I spent a lot of hours into it. If you're a speed running sperg like you it may have taken sooner
>>740590653sigh I guess ill reinstall F76 again.
>>740595573Nope the atlantians are first. Maybe after them.
>>740595573nope ghoul
>>74059500570 hours of finding briefcases without mods to get an "ok" flamer
>>740590653Whales.
>>740590653I played it like 5 years ago. Dumped 200 hours into it because it was an addiction. Best $10 I ever spent. I heard they added actual new maps and not just instances, but I'm busy with other games right now. I'll probably go back to the grind eventually, just not sure when.
>>740590653Unfortunately it got a huge normie bump from the woke TV series.Microsoft is very pleased about it.
>>740595312its shit thoughbeit
>>740599754clearly it get good 950+ hours in.
Jesus this place sucks now
F76 and ESO are unironically the best profit mmos MS has right now per internal meetings.WoW is the worst right now because housing sucks ass, midnight is a failure and classic is dead, also their shitty attempt of C+/V+ is written by the same fags who works on retoilet and diablo 4.Also not even diablo 4 wad enough to keep the inflated dead whale that is the company rn on good terms with MS.
>>740599754wtf is thoughbeit
>>740599847No, it really doesn't.
>>740601709sharty slang for though o algo
>>740601850>though o algowtf is that
Dadgamer-coreEveryone I know who plays this is 40+ and married
>>740590653i play it regularly. it's fun. yeah it's buggy but nothing new from Bethesda. better than fo4
I was excited because it got so close to beating Marathon, I was going to make such a great shitpost thread about itBut then Marathon went F2P
You see that Assaultron?You can FUCK that Assaultronhttps://vocaroo.com/1c04i6B08gwbhttps://vocaroo.com/1dNZgzj7LY2yhttps://vocaroo.com/18YfhYqVpENc
>>740590653This and TESO are games that snoys on their ps4 can not stop playing.Same as ps4 was the huge majority of fortnite kids.
>>740601609>scorched blizzard exwive has to selfinsert herself
>>740602494He isnt wrong.Turns out not acting like a retard and not living in Irvine works.
>>740602594This woman is hysterical about her ex she left 15 years ago.
Why the fuck did they add "seasons" to Shelter?
from how it looks the playerbase is small enough for you to both get lectures from 40 year old bald men on how you should choose your playstyle now to affect how you will be at level 3000 as well as running into gaggles of cheaters doing picrel to each other every session
>>740590653I'm still waiting for fallout 5 since 2018
>>740590653Oh hey a new update>reinstalls>its just a community event>one new community quest>time waster questYeah fuck this game. Wheres the new real fallout todd
>>74059065310k peak CCU daily is pretty decent, considering it's a paid game with paid extensions and a, (optional) subscription
>>740602751but enough talking about wow vulperatranny
>>740590653yo mama
>>740604841yeah that's not bad, its even better than marathon was doing before last week with the f2p week.
can you still nuke AFK players bases?
>>740605628Yes, although they expanded the "can't nuke" section of the map a bit to protect Fascnacht (lame)
>>740604841>10k peak CCU daily is pretty decentbut enough abour Marathon
>>740590653A lot of people myself included. It's fun, but I still believe it was better pre Wastelanders update.
>>740594920It's not your call to make Turdd it's Microsoft's
>>740606337It's a funny comparison because Marathon fell out of that in like a month but Fallout 76 fell to that level three months after it came out, then has stayed there for six yearsOccasionally spiking to 3x or 5x that level, usually when the show's on the air
>>740604841Oh it’s not free on PC?It’s effectively free on Xbox since it’s available on the cheapest tier of gamepass.
>>740604841>paid gameThey give it away for free all the time>paid extensionsAll the expansions are free>(optional) subscriptionIt's not optional you absolutely need it
>>740607062What makes it a necessity besides the private server?
>>740590653Nolifer collect'emall autists with multiple characters/mules grinding events and nuke bosses. I bought this cheap on sale and just liked wandering the map and rando camps but the borderlandsness of gear got old.
>>740607485They limit your storage but with Fallout 1st they give you an item called the Scrap Box that stores an unlimited amount of materials.
>>740607485i havent played in 3 years but that stash bs was basically necessary
>>74059065376 is… actually really fun, the problem i have with this fucking game is how they force you to buy FO1st if you want an extra free fast travel point along with infinite stash. Like It actually makes me mad how much QoL it has compared to FO4
>>740590653>Who is still playing this?People who have friends
>>740608017>Like It actually makes me mad how much QoL it has compared to FO4Like what? Couldn't that shit be modded in
>>740607485You generally don't even use the private servers because you want to be doing the events with other people.>>740607762>>740607838Besides this, while it isn't necessary the deployable survival tents make your life a little easier. But half of its functionality is the scrap box.
look at the Golden Retriever they just addedlook at him
>>740607762>>740607838>>740608210I didn't know that's what the scrap box did. Pretty scummy to put it behind a subscription, but I've been managing without it.
>>740608545He cute
Fallout 76 is the best Bethesda Fallout and that's a very sad thing.
>>740608636The only bright side is that if you buy Fallout 1st ever, you can always take shit out of the scrapbox (you can only put it in while you're soobscribed)So if you're avidly playing the game, especially if there's some specific season reward you really want, it's worth it to just chip in the $13 once, stack up 250,000 pounds of steel and fiber optics and 5mm ammo and radaway that month, and then never worry about picking anything up again
It’s better than most games, can serve as an MMO-lite if you don’t feel like playing on PC. It’s not a bad game. But todd Howard’s games get shit on by third world monkeys because they are always better than gacha/asian games so they send out bots to seethe.
>>740608545>lern 2 parry, humman
>>740608894That's pretty cool at least. Thanks for sharing. I probably would've never known otherwise.
>>740607062>They give it away for free all the timeYou dolt. They give away the MICROSOFT STORE version of it all the time. The Steam numbers are all paypigs. Paypigs of varying degrees, since it does go on big sales and it's a common item in Fanatical bundles, but paypigs nevertheless.
>>740608545dog.jpg
i picture the average 76 player as an autistic 60 year old. I'm not wrong in that assumption i don't think.
>>740608545he looks only slightly irradiated
>>740590653There were a lot of people that liked Fallout 4 for the loop of just wandering around to different locations, delving into mini-dungeons, and killing everything inside to loot and take shit back home, especially since the shooting was surprisingly serviceable.FO76 is just that but with more official content, better repeatable content, and the ability to play in co-op. There's even some added things that put it above FO4, like reintroducing stat checks n' shit to dialogue, or how the perk system is pretty neat.Granted, I'd probably just play FO4 more if the Fallout Together mod didn't fizzle out of existence, but nevertheless, FO76 is fine.
>>740608545>AC7 crossover
>>740590653I stopped playing after they kept nerfing all the good weapons into the ground and the installation size ballooned to over 100GB. Also, the new areas they added to the world were really underwhelming.
game's honestly not that bad nowadays, basically plays like a slightly modded fallout 4
>>740609640The important takeaway is that there is a huge market to tap into for sandbox RPG design but with gun, and especially with co-op, and devs leaving that on the table lets otherwise middling games like Borderlands and Fallout 76 thriveLike when the STALKER co-op mods finally came out, my friendgroup lost entire weeks to that shit.
>>740590653If they made an offline version with mods I'd give it a try. I like the idea of a bigger map, everything in 4 felt too close together. But with how Legends and Blades just became lost media when their shutdowns came I don't have much hope.
>>740601850i thought it was from that bot on /int/ that always corrected your grammar when you used THO incorrectly
>>740608545why is he so long
I really like how they approached balance, by not doing it at all and instead just insulating the player from it as much as possiblePVP is virtually nonexistent. At the start it was a sweaty PVP Tarkov PUBG thing and you'll still find autists crying for it, but nobody actually wanted that shit and the game got much more popular when they took it outThey can't get rid of hackers because it's still GamebryoThey can't even get rid of people doing perfectly legal, in-engine shit and it being mindnumbingly OP because it's still GamebryoSo they just let you goYou wanna run around in your underwear, bonking ghouls with a rolling pin? You can do itYou wanna don a full set of Legendary Level 50 Power Armor and singlehandedly mow down the game's final boss with a Gatling Plasma? You can do it.The only time another person can ever actually interfere with your fun is when a hacker can instantly delete every enemy on the continent. And they might actually ban those guys, because I've only seen them two or three times and never for long.
>>740609481I was actually astonished by the number of girls (female) in itBut I guess it's because it's virtually impossible to actually die in combat and 90% of the endgame is building a pretty house and getting pretty clothes for your dollOf course you could tell they were all fat southern housewives
>>740601568Gonna cry?
>>740601568>>740610693for real why is it THIS thread that made him say that lol
>>740590653It's the quintessential relaxing MMO-lite retirement home for a lot of boomers and soccer moms (literally, the game is full of women), overall it's fun when treated like a slightly multiplayer Bethesda themepark, but the necessity of 1st is annoying as hell and honestly not really justified.Nuking bad camps is still fun, tho.
>>740611580>Nuking bad camps is still fun, tho.evergreen laff
>>740611580>the game is full of womenare they single?
>>740611757Does someone that builds shit like this single to you?
>>740590653the cryptids are really fucking cool, too bad 99% of their interactions are mauling you to death or disappearing screeching some otherwordly sfxis bloodied still the best build?
>>740611912I really like the mole miners and the mothman cultists as enemies
>>740611835I dunno man I'm a 32 year old virgin with little social experience you'll have to explain it like I'm retarded.
>>740611835honestly I could see it going either way
>>740590653lots of people, it got improved a ton since releaseit's been almost 10 yearsfun game and it's impressive how much content they've added for freethe latest ohio expansion is dogshit tho
Is it fun solo, I don't think I could get my friends to play it all we play together is league of legends
>>740612217It's literally fallout 4, if you like that game you'll like 76. I played all of it solo and enjoyed myself decently.
>>740612217>Is it fun soloSure
>fallout 3 and 4 are jank>how can we make it worse?>i know, add online lag
>>740612217yeah everyone plays solo unless theres an event, then people just drop in and do everything while never talking to each otherit's a solo player dreamsome people like to build maze camps or inviting\welcoming structures, but that's strictly optional and most shitboxes i've seen are just a concrete cube with a vending machine outside
>>740612285>>740612302>>740612361Thanks. I can get a MS store key for 85 cents compared to 7 bucks for a steam key. I never bought anything there, is it as bad as people say?
>>740595923>cool lovecraftian shit>stuck in a live service sloppai hate life
>>740612438you should buy the steam key.
>>740612495it's that bad huh?
>>740612661Only if you're autistic about having steam achievements instead of xbox achievements.
>>740590653Belly-chortle dad gaming
>>740612758I couldn't care less about achievements desu
>tried 76 years ago>vault looked pretty cool>go outside and destroy some small robots>wow a lot of greenery for the post apocalypse>see a rust tier building, way out of place>weapon degradation is back, great>can't use other similar weapons to repair, need a special repair kiti quit after half an hour and never returned
>>740612843you repair with scrap at a crafting station, fucktard
>>740612823The only other problem is you might accidentally buy Fallout 1st for Xbox instead of PC depending on how you subscribe to it. I definitely never did that they fixed it in a day
>>740612886It's always the avatar fags playing games for like 5 minutes and not understanding basic mechanics that have the loudest opinions on games.
>>740612964Oh I refuse to give todd any money, 85 cents is all he is getting
>>740590653How Bethesda is still in business is a fucking mystery to me. Everything they put out is pure jank but without the soul to make up for it. They're not even getting good boy points for being a commercially righteous company, they constantly nickel-and-dime their customers with absolutely bullshit expensive and janky collector doodads and endless re-release of that one game they didn't completely fuck up 87 years ago. And to top it all off, their CEO has all the charisma of the turds I drop in the toilet after my morning coffee. Who the fuck does Todd have leverage on?
>>740612886>>740613039let me repair on the go or remove degradation
>>740613108Literally a non-issue after the early game.
i wish the game size wasn't 100gb. i'd totally give it a try if it weren't for that
>>740613094bethesda was the only company to make a game everyone wanted, open world fantasy adventure skyrim was jank and deep as a puddle, but it had great atmosphere and memorable charactershow they refuse to improve and other studios refuse to make a better game is a mystery to me
>>740613068I think there's a free week with it at the moment to get you hooked. If you try it you won't want to play without it.
>>740613316Okay I will try the game out next week. I hate subscriptions
>>740613271That complaint was valid like 10 years ago.
>>740613524that's crazy. i have 3tb of storage just for games, and none of my games are over 90gb.
>>740613882Crazy how 96gb is a dealbreaker for you.
>>740611757Play Fallout 76 and your life could be changed forever
>>740614114>didnt get pussy irl>never played multiplayer vidya so not even a slim chance of getting pussy from itso glad i spent 10000+ hours in autism sims
>>740590653You really can see the writing on the walls that this game doesn't have a whole lot longer left.The recent updates are nothing, the seasonal content is getting smaller and smaller. I wouldn't be surprised if the game shuts down within a year or so
>>740590653Good god the Bethesda sections were awful. The only one that was interesting was Doom.
>>740614651Anon, the game is 8 years old. It's not going to shut down any time soon as long as it is making money and whales keep buying expensive shit like $30 Deathclaw pet or he Golden Retriever for 800 atoms and so on and so on...
>>740614651The game came out in 2018 and got the "biggest update ever" in December 2025The fuck you want?
>>740613094>>740613297Skyrim was nothing more than lightning in a bottle. They know it, everyone knows it. Its why they kept on rereleasing from there on out
>>740614651Supposedly there's plans for up to 2030. The playerbase is stable (12k at season start, 7k at season end) and each season of the TV series brings an uptick of players for a couple of months. I don't see it going away soon
>>740615215There also some crazy people out there the never once stopped subscribing to Fallout1st since it came out.
>>740615215that's just on steam isn't it? there's also a bunch of console boomer dadsgame's making money
>>740590653I can't even if I wanted to, the game is so poorly optimised if your rig is to good the game is unplayable.
>>740615035And that update was rightfully mocked for how half baked it was. Besides, it ain't good enough if for every update with the tiniest shred of content, we have to pay for it by getting an absolute drought of updates. This year has been fucking nothing.>>740615215They've got some big update planned for next year, but that marks the end of their initial 5-year plan. I could see that being the endAlso despite the TV show, the game's doing so bad now that it's dropped to pre season-1 levels despite only being a few months since season 2 and "the biggest update ever"
>>740615494>that's just on steam isn't it?Yep. So add another 5-10k in consoles
>>740615580>And that update was rightfully mockedBy whom? Some retards on the steam forum?
i only played like half hour of it. im playing new vegas. i played with god mode on never got the achievements
>>740615580>Also despite the TV show, the game's doing so bad now that it's dropped to pre season-1 levels despite only being a few months since season 2 and "the biggest update ever"New season started not even one week ago. Before it, it was 6k daily, now it's back to 12k daily. And only counting Steam. So it is stable>They've got some big update planned for next year, but that marks the end of their initial 5-year planI don't think they will, because it's too much $$ and work, but it would be quite funny if they added a second map. Let's say New Vegas, for it's not like Todd cares much about canonicity
Is there still only one Appalachia map? Or did they add some others to it? I think I quit around the time they added those missions that you took you to smaller instanced maps like the Pitt.
>>740590653This game is for washed out boomers, recovering addicts and children.
>>740610140>hacker can instantly delete every enemy on the continentdoesn't work like that, most you can do is instakill individual enemies that are relatively within reachwhat you can do however is crash other players and even the entire server on-demand thanks to bugshitda's lack of data validationt. someone who messed with hacking the game at one point
>>740616230it's been expanded several times, the last major update added a desert area
>>740611835>women in fallout 76>build cutesy suburban house decorated with all kinds of shit>me in fallout 76>build fortress bases and MGSV mother base type shit with plenty of high spots to shoot at thingsits like women want to get raided by whatever the fuck wants to kill you
>>740616720Post base.
>>740616720>be me>build a crack home
>>740609982uuuu
>>740608017I played it with friends and one of the last things I did before stopping was fighting several hundred super mutants to defend a generator. With Fallout 4 combat, it is one of the least fun things imaginable
>>740616720>be me>throw the various workbenches on the floor and call it a dayi cannot into building at all
>>740616720pretty sure my main CAMP was just a corn field that took up the entire space of the camp with a little shed in the middle surrounded by workbenches
>>740611580>the game is full of womenThis, it feels like at least half of the game is 35-60 year old roasties
>Grind your dailies „kill X shit“ or „collect X stuff“ for the super slow season board that gives you the same shit you already have with the a different paint >Grind one of the few new maps that took em 1 year to make but only takes you 30 min to finish BUT you gotta beat them 100 times for a new weapon skin of the same fucking weapon you already have >Grind the same fucking missions with „defend X waves“ or „kill X enemies“ over and over and over and over again WHERE IS THE FUCKING ENDGAME ??Everyone who‘s still playing is only doing it because they’re ashamed of the time they wasted on it
>>740618658>WHERE IS THE FUCKING ENDGAME ??It's rerolling for the perfect legendary weapon. That never changed.
How's the fishing dlc? Thinking about installing the game to fish
>>740618658>WHERE IS THE FUCKING ENDGAME ??It's building a pretty dollhouse and a cute outfit. That never changed.
>>740618658There's another raid coming before the end of the year. No one will bother with it after the first couple of months again yet again because most people in this casual ass game aren't going to do hard content to get rewards to easier do more of the same hard content when 99.8% of content in the game is easy as shit.
>>740614651And then they launch a single player version, which with mods become the best modern Fallout.
>try the game after the update>game keeps crashing in the main menu
>>740618658Uh anon that's what the infestations are supposed to be. You get to fast travel around the map to try to kill a 4 star boss but you'll be too late because someone else already killed it before you had a chanceBut hey don't sweat it, you weren't going to get anything good anyways
>>740618807Boring after a couple of hours like every other fishing minigame in existence.
>>740619142At least more people will enjoy the raid than they will when the "ultimate humongous patch 76" next year turns out to be a Capital Wasteland expedition. Expeditions were such a goddamn flop lol
>>740619539I went poking around out of boredom a while backIt's actually amazing how much map Atlantic City has, how many NPCs and dialogueAnd how they do nothing with itSometimes it's like Bethesda puts way too much work into where it'll never be utilized and nowhere near enough work into where it's completely crucial
I have spent well over $1000 on this game. ask me anything.
>>740619793Show me your main base.
>>740619793how's your bank account
>>740619648I really gotta check it out at some point, I never really bothered to do thatIt is a little sad that we'll never get that cut third Pitt mission or the Pitt free roam. Woulda been a better update than whatever these infestations are supposed to be at least>>740619793If you're that much of a super fan surely you made it to max level of Nuclear Winter right?
>>740619187Extremely ancient bug, wait for the cinematic to play out for 10 seconds before pressing any button.Unfixable, gamebryo at its finest.
>>740620234Validating the game fixed it.
>>740619832https://imgur.com/a/PxeCgCn>>740619851Okay, I'm not spending money I don't have. I have a full time job and live with my parents, and help them pay bills but don't pay rent, so my net income is positive.>>740619929No, PvP is gay and for fags. I only ever went into Nuclear Winter to do SCORE challenges.
>>740590653>SuperData estimated that, as of the end of 2018, Fallout 76 had sold 1.4 million digital copies.[98] In November 2021, Todd Howard revealed the game had 11 million players in total.[99] In March 2024, the game had 17 million players.[100] The following month, following the release of the Amazon Prime Fallout television series, Fallout 76's player count reached an all-time high six years after its release, with a million people logging in within a single day.[101]Consoles and paypigs keep it alive, just ESO.

>>740621849are you perchance anti-natalismpilled?
>>740621849the perfect world
>>740621194It's an easy game that lets you build housesAlso I think the auto aim helps. You'd be surprised how many old people play 76 as well.In all my years I've heard maybe 30 people ever use a mic though. I've heard things are a lot more lively on console though. If only there were crossplay, maybe then I wouldn't have gotten so bored with the game
>>740616324Huh that's really cool. I might get back into it then. One of my favourite things to do was just chill in events helping noobies and building up my base, giving away free shit for noobs to stop by.
