    I won’t discount them unless an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game drops and is garbage. 76 has turned around into an actually enjoyable experience, for instance. At the same time I don’t particularly care if a studio pumps out good or bad as there will still be idiots preordering and buying day 1. I am more than happy to wait for the reviews. A good game is a good game, and a bad one, bad. Who develops it makes no real difference apart from an expectation.

    Thaaaat saaaid: Todd, my dude, you do actually need to hurry up. A great entry into the Fallout universe would restore some of the old faith you have caused to fall away.

      It was called Starfield and it dropped last September

        Which is neither fallout or elder scrolls. I played starfield to it’s completion. It was fine. Nothing more than a 7/10. Had a lot to work on.

        But I don’t get the fallout 4 hate. With a few mods and shutting up the protagonist, the game was more than enjoyable.

          It’s in the same engine with the same mechanics that the last 2 Single-Player Fallout and Elder Scrolls games used (the gunplay is Fallout, the magic is Skyrim shouts, exploration is the same in all of them), to pretend Starfield doesn’t reflect on what future BGS Games will be like just because it doesn’t have the same name as their other series is patently silly

          Nothing more than a 7/10

          Your standards are way too low if you think Starfield is anything close to a 7

      This is one point I contend with: Fallout 76 didn’t become good with patches. I’m not unconvinced that there’s a conspiracy for Bethesda to create the impression online that the game became good with updates.

      That’s just me though.

        I tried it after repeatedly reading it was good now. The main change is the servers work. If you disliked the structure or content it’s just more of the same. A few boring npcs were added I guess.

          Right 76 is structurally boring. Just like star field, and kind of lik3 fallout 4.

          They are bad in the writing department and gameplay is super lack luster. Previous games got away with bad gameplay because the story was good, but they are diamonds in the rough because of it. These ones are partially polish concrete.

        I was going to say Fallout 4 was the stinker and the only reason it gets as high of praise as it does is just how bad Fallout 76 was and after a lot of patches still is.
