I may now own FO76

although, oddly enough, I think I bought an actual physical copy, cause. I didn't get a code in my email, and it had a delivery date

but. Tricentennial Edition for only thirty bucks

I hope it will actually be enjoyable to play. wife ended up canceling her pre-order, cause she was very unhappy with the beta, so that makes me worry

It depends on what you want out of it.

a good game? where I don't have to worry about PVP assholes?

XD

You might be reaching for the stars there

I finally encountered some griefers.

ffft, I hope not. there's supposed to be a PVE option, isn't there?

They were level 30+ and chased me around the world, I was level 12

ew, wtf

Probably 80% of people are playing PVE alone

I had to quit the game to get away from them.

ugh.

Blocking them does nothing don't listen to Bethesda

Although it does shut them up

Because everyone's mics are always on

But you can apparently turn that off.

I thought you were supposed to be able to opt out of PVP entirely, although I know that was one of my wife's complaints- she was still taking damage

yeeeeeeah, that's one of the other things I'm leery of

Yes, you take tiny amount of damage and if you refuse to engage they get a bounty

altho I can always unplug my mic, thankfully

it's not built in

If you like exploring the wasteland and seeing new locations, and find that fun? It's okay.

Well yes, but everyone else's mic is on

ffft, that is

So you know you're getting close to someone because you'll hear them.

If you're not staring at the map and I'm not usually

really, have they learned nothing from having one MMO already

They have learned very little

The exploration part is nice but the quest is ehhhhh

Currently I'm at a point in MSQ that is broken I think.

I heard they're planning more further down the road? idk

and eeeew

And there are no NPCs

altho. not surprised

Bethesda and broken quests kinda go hand in hand

I hope you enjoy it! I ended up uninstalling it because it just wasn't fun for me.

So that's not a myth. Except for a super mutant trader we met in the B.E.T.A. that was burried in the ground because of a bug so only his head was above it and he was talking to us

fffffffffffffffft

awww, I'm sorry it was no fun for you

thanks it just had too much stuff, that didn't work well and I never play multiplayer online games so it was a reach anyway

I enjoy going into the buildings and exploring new places, so I have had a decent amount of fun with it, the map is super huge, there's so many places to go and I've barely scratched the surface at probably, I dunno, 30 hours in?

I'll admit, with the bad stuff I already know, I'm really banking on it getting better, so. maybe someday in the (far) future?

But it was way more fun when I had my friend join me for the B.E.T.A.

Yeah there's a lot they need to fix.

And the weight limit is garbage XD

I get that. one of the other reasons I decided to go for it despite the bad stuff is that my cousin is getting it

yeah, I have some hope. like I still OWN the game so maybe if I hear it gets a lot better I'll set aside another 24 hours to load it

he and his group of mmo friends..... altho I'll be avoiding his friends

my cousin has uh. bad tastes in gamer friends. but I enjoy playing games with him

We decided not to follow the quest when we tested, we just took off in a direction and explored and it was pretty fun. We were taunting mothman

XD

You can go steal his eggs at the museum and we were worried he was going to show up. He didn't at that time, but he appeared before me later

But I think he was broken because he just stood there while I killed him

Bethesda

haaaaaaaa XD

and again. unsurprised. XD

I mean. this is the company that recognized their code had been stolen because of the bugs

"waitaminute, this other game has what bug? THAT'S OUR BUG DAMMIT"

There are a bunch of problems, but yeah, depends on what you want

Yes it's their bug.

So many of their bugs.

eh. maybe I'll play with my cousins's friends after all. hide inside the PVP assholes so they won't PVP asshole me

XD

I will see when I actually get the game! haha, which won't be a few days, it seems. but I'm good with waiting

I got the $80 version for thirty bucks. yeah, I can deal with the wait. XD

Yeah, I have the expensive edition XD I'm not sure what that does for me but /shrug

/costs way more than $80 here

But really I only met some assholes once, everyone else seems to be doing their own thing

you're supposed to get a bunch of in game items with the tricentennial edition, I know

Bethesda doesn't seem to understand their audience

I'm still boggled over how in Earth they thought an mmo without TEXT CHAT would work, fffffft

but then. ESO is an mmo with an ah, so

(granted, that's probably more Zenimax's fault, but still)

Oh yeah text chat

I miss text chat so much

The emote thing is terrible

that's one of the biggest things that I hope they fix

They're thinking about it.

Whatever that means.

hopefully it means they've realized how much they fucked up and are trying to figure out how to fix it

that would be nice

also good job getting a sale, I got the normal edition but because Canada I had to pay $90 for it regrets

ewwwww, I'm sorry

this is why I laugh sob when people are like omg games cost $60 or more

Yeah, $109 centennial edition XD

It's at least $80 in Canada for everything XD

ooooooouch

I practically live on sales as it is when it comes to games, since I couldn't afford them otherwise, I can't imagine how much worse it is for you guys

I just woke up and am not coherant, but let me know later if you want more opinions lol.

You ca turn voice off. You can also go pacifist mode. I also need coffee to make sense

The game is def what you make it. And I've noticed more fun with friends.

But that's also a ymmv comment.
