It's a meh for me. If I wanted Multiplayer I'd play other games. Bethesda have just stripped Fallout 76 of NPCs and ability to play solo and called it multiplayer. What's the point of playing it then if I'm just going to be building shacks and shooting people? Could'nt I just do that in other games, namably Fortnite?

I'll try to play it, but it just looks boring and tasteless so I'll probably skip it after an hour or two of gameplay.

I don't expect 76 to become a household name like Call Of Duty or Fortnite was though. It might be better, but it will inevitably die.

I'm honestly afraid it's going to be a fluke, if Fallout 4 didn't do Fallout as well as the others, 76 is going to be a huge hit or miss due to it's similarities to 4. Yet, it may also do average. I don't know how mod support is going to work since it's what keeps most Bethesda games flowing with players but I hope they do it right by actually meaning mod support, not the Creation Club "mods" bullshit we've come to see from them now.

What's the exact opposite of Excited?
whatever it is i'm that.

If I was younger and back in college I would probably be more excited for this. It's just too hard nowadays to find time when me and my buddies can all get on at the same time before someone's like, "Oh damn, baby woke up. C ya guys!"

And it doesn't seem like SP is the focus of this game. It's fine, I'm glad they are experimenting with new things. It just doesn't sound like it will be for me.

stupid question, maybe i missed the answer but, its only on the bethesda launcher avaible or it will be released on steam too?

I have to say that endless speculation on what it will or will not be has dampened my enthusiasm. For sure it will not be all things to all people. I refuse to get caught up in the hype and will wait for post release reviews to see what it really is/does before deciding to stoke the enthusiasm fires.

Personally myself I couldn't careless. When Bethesda decided to add micro-transactions into their games and opened up their own site CC for modding I was appalled by their actions concerning stolen mods. Not to mention the fact that they blatantly stole another mod (out before FO4 became a thing) to use as a story quest and went onto claim they thought of the story idea. Bethesda has unfortunately left me being very wary of anything they say! I'll wait to see what the public has to say.

I really need to see more before I make a decision. The map of West Virginia sounds awesome, but they have barely shown us anything. Also, need more info on how how mp itself works.

Certain aspects excite me. The new wildlife excites me, the new location excites me, the timeframe excites me. Other things, like the shoehorned in Super Mutants for the sake of having super mutants piss me off to no end.

I can already tell this is a game that will on one level infuriate me, and on another level, enrapture me. It's really one I'll have to see for myself. Honestly, concepts like community building and social play don't interest me in the slightest. It all seems too cliche and generic to me, a big sandbox game, and it's something I never wanted Fallout to become. That said, I'll reserve being too harsh until I play it, but still, I'd have much rather experienced a singular, or even co-op story than a fully loaded server. It just sounds like such a terrible experience if you're a single player gamer.

Putting all the multiplier implications aside, I'll buy it on sale, but knowing how buggy Bethesda games are on release there is no way i'll be a day 1. Story is always the biggest aspect for me in Fallout games and im hoping they can put some in through notes, and computers but i'm holding my breath on 76.

I doubt it will have a substantial story, all the humans in-game are players and npc interaction are a big thing for an rpg game. Maybe the environment and world building may be good enough but I still think I wouldn't enjoy it but hey who knows maybe it turns out a multiplayer masterpiece without needing any human npcs.

With Bethesda looking over certain things like the Super Mutants and story drive etc. I am "meh" about it. I think the only thing I am excited for is the Pip-Boy Construction Kit that lets you build your own Pip-Boy 2000. Other than that, I may get Fallout 76 but I am not really excited about it; I just get a "different" vibe from it. I dunno, call me biased sure, but once we get more info; that will really set the ball rolling.

But how about the loot though... does it respawnn?

It's basically rust, except on an even worse engine engine. I can hardly stand gamebryo in singleplayer games, yet alone multiplayer ones. I'm not about to outright hate it, but I'm definitely not going to trust it enough to be hyped before launch. If it survives a good couple months and there's no reports on game breaking bugs, or the emergence of clans, then I'll probably play it with a couple friends. Otherwise, I'm probably just going to avoid it, as open world multiplayer games are normally horrible.

I have very real concerns..The thing I love about games like fallout and skyrim are the mods. I can make the experience however I like. The modding community is fantastic about improving cosmetic things, i.e. somthing as simple decent hair or clothing/armor. It's almost like the devs do it half-assed knowing the community will put out some really good stuff. I just take away being able to customize the game through mods and that drastically diminishes my enthusiasm right out of the gate.

i do feel excited for the game but my concern is kinda big right now for the game future will there be dlc like eso or there will be none and can other players join dlc place but for now we only got mutilplayer so im kinda excited

I am looking forward to messing around with friends. My expectations that this will be a 'good' fallout game are rather low. My concern for the future games has increased.

Come out of the Vault, and begin buiding your shitty little shack. Suddenly out of nowhere XxX_Pu$$y$lay3r_XxX, who is like 40 levels higher than you, comes up and start fucking you up AND you shithole base you spend 6 hours building, just for the shits and giggles. Yeah.. sounds like real fun.

Oh and before I forget: "Hey Dude, want to work together?'' ''HEH YEAH, WORK TOGETHER WITH THIS NUKE THAT IS COMMING YOUR WAY!''

10/10 would play this game.

No. Bethesda has the wrong idea for the right game. Griefing will be a thing. Game devs have this strange image in their heads of coop gaming that doesn't really mesh with reality. They seem to think that everyone will hop on the game after work of school and kick back for some friendly fun. Which if you have played every online game ever, is never and never will be the case. Armies of shitheads and clans will rule servers, and it will be a very bad time. my opinion is skeptical. I might rent it for morbid curiosity.
