Re: Fallout 76
I played it for about an hour the other day but it was a very lonely experience. I found nobody else to join in with on missions and none of my friends own the game.
I died about 3 times as it feels most missons has you outnumbered. I wont give up on it as I love Fallout but it is a very odd experience. I feel there really should be some NPCs in the game to intereact with.

Re: Fallout 76
I'm hearing that its summed up as followed:
1. Go somewhere, on a quest, to find out whether someone is alive.
2. Come across loads of enemies
3. Establish new information from notes and from the computer terminals
4. Establish, in fact, that the 'someone' is dead
5. Move on to the next mission.
There is no interaction with anyone other than another online gamer, or an enemy, of some description, who is trying to kill you.

That's not happened to me yet. Either the other player just runs by mine as they go about their own business, or you occasionally get a wave and an offer to trade.prophet:marginal wrote:There is no interaction with anyone other than another online gamer, or an enemy, of some description, who is trying to kill you.
The best way to co-op is to play with another person you know, rather than try and gang up online.

I bought the game on XBOX. If anyone here is interested in getting a team together then i'm happy to play with fellow hammers.Up the Junction wrote: That's not happened to me yet.

Re: Fallout 76
Lost my base tonight. Logged back in after an earlier session and my CAMP had been returned to my inventory as blueprints.

Re: Fallout 76
I bought it. . . . More to follow once it installs.
My friend has it as well so we can play co-op.

Re: Fallout 76
I think I'll just play new vegas again on backwards compatibility. If this was a kind of post apocalypse Destiny I'd be interested but what this is isn't what I want from a Fallout game. Hopefully it will get the same effort poured into it as elder Scrolls online which launched a mess but is somewhat respectable now... you'd have thought they would have learned from their mistakes on that but clearly given the persistent bugs from former games still popping up they don't.

I suspect this is Bethesda's model - the ltd storage just reeks of 'paid for crafting bag'.

I am of the understanding there is already an in game shop for cosmetic items. I wouldn't put it past them to add something like thisUp the Junction wrote:I suspect this is Bethesda's model - the ltd storage just reeks of 'paid for crafting bag'.
'Mary Poppins bag' - only £20

Re: Fallout 76
After watching some of the beta I was unconvinced.
IGN’s review of 5/10 given yesterday has ultimately lead me to admit that I will not be going anywhere near this. It sadly looks shallow and monotonous.

Re: Fallout 76
Just played for the first time today.
I found someone who was AFK but being attacked by a creature. I killed the creature but they started following me and attacking me. I bloody love online games FFS.
Anyway, plays like a normal Fallout game, just started out but will keep you posted.
MrMercury I'm on Xbox as well, once I'm a bit more used to the game (and better) I'll message you if you're still interested?

Re: Fallout 76
Sure, sounds good . I played more yesterday and did a few quests. I don't mind the game but I feel that my weapons are too weak and that whereever I go I am outnumbered by the Scortched and super mutants.Joyeux Marteau wrote:Just played for the first time today.

Re: Fallout 76
Someone tried this in the UK will Hello Games (No Man's Sky). I don't think it even made court.

Re: Fallout 76
I played about three or four hours of this with my friend on Saturday and it was great fun. We spent most of the time being attacked by monsters and getting lost.
Any actual players were decent and didn't attack us so I was pleasantly surprised.
It is definitely fun to play with some one else that you know.
It only crashed once. . .(for my friend)

Re: Fallout 76
Am still to be attacked by any PC, having played since launch. I've given lots of stuff away to newbies I've met though, which is a strangely rewarding experience. And been helped similarly too.Joyeux Marteau wrote:Any actual players were decent and didn't attack us so I was pleasantly surprised.
New patch out today to sort several issues, includes craft bag size increase from 400 to 600lbs.

Re: Fallout 76
I'm rapidly coming to the view that this is one of the most broken, bugged and incomplete games I've ever played.
Yet I can't put it down...

Re: Fallout 76
It's taken a few weeks but something has finally clicked and I'm starting to enjoy the game, I think it was when I marched into the golf club and was immediately handed my arse by about 30 odd level 60 ghouls!
It was more funny than annoying :lol:
