I played 76 a few years after it came out and I thought it was super fun. Idk if it was way worse when it came out or if my standards are just shit but me and my wife loved it
They went back on a lot of decisions after the release.
It was way worse for a year or so
Yeah I heard. What was so bad about it?
Consistent crashing, tons of lag, and lots of additions from BGS that were two steps back for every step forward. Think about what it would be like if half the players at the SBQ disconnected in the fight and make them 4-5 times stronger than when they were last I played (when expeditions were released).
Then you would have quests that gave atoms, the currency you give IRL money to get, that were literally unachievable. The camera ones were the best as they ran for weeks with no camera being available in the game.
There was a raid. Almost no one could do it. The game either crashed or people rage quit.
I wont even talk about Nuclear Winter.
The game is a miracle for what it is but it took a while to be acceptable. Loved the game at one point but now it is too much a reminder of COVID shutdowns.
Ah makes sense. Thank you.
Honestly, I tried it with mates well after release, and it was really grindy and boring. The few quests we did had too much padding and lifeless NPCs, even if the environments were neat. And we were all big BGS fans since Oblivion, yet not overly nostalgic over the old games or anything.
I will say coop always makes games more fun, and AAA tends to skip this.
But there's also a lot of really awesome 2P coop these days.
Yeah idk it was fun because I got to play with my wife and it felt enough like fallout four that it felt like playing that together.
Y'all should try split fiction too!
I mean, I guess there are a lot of options depending on what else yall enjoy playing, but its a high fidelity, fast paced, and good one for sure.
With the right crew it can be fun
I love the game too, but I'm not going to deny many were disappointed.
