just as planned goyim

55 is too high for half-assed broken multiplayer only game.

It hit 23 awhile ago but (((Metacritic))) deleted 3 reviews which bumped it to 61 for a bit.

I'm surprised not many people defend this. I saw many people defending Diablo Immortal but not this one

TAKE ME HOME

TO A PLACE

I BELONG

WEST VIRGINIA

>>15766468

Two things. For one, this is playable to the public so nobody is getting fooled, and also iAblo was outsourced giving them a plausible deniability excuse. This shit is straight up from the tap Bethesdashit and people are starting to notice it stinks.

Every once in awhile they need to martyr a true pile of shit to keep up appearances

Maybe they forgot they need to pay for good reviews?

>>15766454

EA pays more then Bethesda.

>>15766177

There's just nothing to defend about 76. Normalfags like bethesda games because they're the only ones to deliver what they do, and all of it is sacrificed for multiplayer nobody asked for. No amount of goodies sent to redactions is going to change that.

>>15766177

>55

>above average

If that was an identical release from a no-name developer, it'd be a ~30. They're still being good goys.

Believe it or not a game being at 55 doesn't mean it's garbage,just that it's average

>>15766533

>All AAA games are reviewed on a 7 - 10 scale

>A 5 is just average

>>15766533

Look around you who are you trying to fool

>>15766539

I'm not trying to fool anybody,just saying it's an average game

>>15766533

>>15766534

no, anon, they're reviewed on an 8-10 scale

8 means that the game is sort of bad according to the reviewers, and they would make it have a lower score if they weren't paid to give it at least that much

less than anything below 8 means that it sucks, and less than 6 means that its horrible

if its rating was below 5, then that would either mean that the game is notoriously bad or that they were paid to give it a bad review, and/or that the game is pro-trump

>>15766557

Lamias are shit

>>15766557

It is not so. Everyone here knows so. Everyone everywhere knows so. The scale is 1-10 on appearance only, popular games, heavily advertised games, games from established publishers with heavy ad marketing and immense shilling always are reviewed on a scale from 7 to 10.

You will try to deny it and be swarmed with replies and reaction images. You're either wilfully ignorant or malignantly trying to deny it for ulterior motives, probably a check in the mail with your name on it.

>>15766573

I think you've just lost sight of what review scores actually mean now, but i doubt i can change your mind

>>15766571

You shut your mouth

>>15766578

Because like I said everyone knows the truth already, you won't fool anyone with your faux appeal to reason. Post another lamia picture to derail the thread now.

>>15766528

If it was 5 years ago that 55 would be a red score.

>>15766588

I'm really sorry you don't believe me.

This shitty rating system is kind of like scores in university, except university scores make sense. You need to get at least 60% right (6/10) to pass (not be utter shit). And just passing is considered lame, so you gotta have at least 80% (8/10, ok game).

>>15766512

Would they? 76 is so empty it makes FO4 seem bursting with content. The average player would overlook bugs if there was something resembling substance there, they’ve done it with Bethesda games in the past.

>>15766629

And like universities they curve the scale to let the niggers get passing grades while everyone else gets fucked.

>>15766633

They would say the game is stream lined and optimized to the new multiplayer game paradigm or some bullshit pseudo market speech. Like when Dragon Age 2 came out and it was stripped down to barebones yet everyone said that was an improvement.

>>15766566

This, but unironically.

Everyone is in mass histeria over what is pretty much your run of the mill fallout game.

Once the dust settles i garentee you'll start seeing more /v/ anons playing and enjoying fallout 76, mods will become a thing shortly and most of the bugs present in the beta that somehow managed to get into release will be patched.

>>15766650

>Mods

>On a centralized multiplayer game

Right.

>>15766650

nope not until the modding community has the tools and that wont matter in year when the playerbase leaves because Bethesda cant maintain any of their titles and breaks more shit that fixes for year

this title has no real "content" to keep people around, theres nobody in the game to care about, no characters, everyone is dead

>>15766650

>your run of the mill fallout game

It has no NPCs or settlements, the world is entirely barren and cooperating with other players is useless. That isn't run of the mill by any standard of the expression. What it is is fucking nothing.

Fallout Did Not Even Get A Rating of 76.

>>15766468

Sacrificial game to shit on to keep of the journo "cred" and also they probably didn't get review copies because Bethesda stop doing that.

>>15766557

You bring great disgrace to monster girls, please leave.

>>15766686

no that's entirely run of the mill for a bethesda fallout game, they removed the dialogue trees and now robots just spout quests at you. It's absurdly dumb but it's just the obvious endpoint of all your answers being yes

>55

>as in complely average

>no game ever gets below 70

What the fuck is this scale broken?

>>15766773

anything less than a 7.0 is a charity score. It's always been that way.If the game isn't 7.0 or better it's deemed bad and it's always been this way. The scale should just be 1-5 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. I consider this 50 percent score representative of an F grade and a 1 at heart.

Having a bunch of random 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s tells us nothing from a consumer review or a faggy journo.

>>15766454

All that says is that EA pays while todd is a fucking cheapskate

>>15766770

Journos are dying

Everyone and their mothers knows this, everyone is moving on to Jewtubers/Streamers and even the journofucks are following their trends despite not getting half the views or even a bit of the market share.

>>15766858

One day you wake up trapped in this body what do?

>>15766866

Am I actually mark or just have his body?

>>15766853

Journos have been dead since 2012, my theory is that the old fart executives still demand games get an 85 or else devs dont get their bonus so the latter still has to pay off these faggots for madeup scores

>>15766740

You can't just affirm 76 is like the others and then describe precisely how it is not.

>>15766858

Hi Aaaron.

>>15766770

There is still a discrepancy between user scores and "journalists" (prostitutes for game companies). 55 =/= ~2.7 at all.

>>15766875

What are you talking about, your choices being "yes, Yes, Yes, and yes (sarcastic)" is exactly the same as just having it forced on you

>>15766500

This! Remember when everyone was shitting on Duke Nukem Forever, but ever other generic modern FPS was not, even though they are no better than Duke?

>>15766770

Nobody reads reviews any more, especially normalfags… but you know what they do consider? Streamers. Twitch sold two of my normalfag fans on Fallout even after they had seen what a buggy mess it was. Streamers are where it’s at, and that’s why you have journalists going after them so hard recently.

Dunno if that’s going to be better or worse in the long run though. I guess at least streamers won’t be writing big brained articles defending Marxism in vidya tho.

>>15766921

Yea it's gotta be streamtarts who push this shit and jewtube "content creators"(aka people who suck at comedy that make "funny" gameplay videos because they need this gaming crutch because without it they are just dull uninspiring people) These are the new marketeers of vidya and I don't think these people are smart enough to conceptualize social justice in a manner that's consistent enough for them to properly use themselves as propaganda devices for leftist causes.

Streamers sell games(sadly nowadays retards not only need online guides, guides in the fucking game box, they also need some big mouth idiotic with a shitty personality to play the game for them)

>>15766912

duke nukem forever was only marginally worse than it's competitors I think the review bombing was more to do with the fact that the game took like 20 years to release.

>>15766858

Man, I'm ugly but Mark is on another level of being disgusting.

>>15766500

Yep

They wont touch the rest of aaa tho

Idk why people buy half the crap

Specifially fortnite

Assassins creed

Cod

And overwatch

Anything blizzard is actual garbage tbh the others mentioned are passable

>>15766177

>55 from professional shills reviewers

>for a bethesda game

It's almost hard to believe FO76 was this bad unintentionally. You think Tod is trying to sink FO so his new open world future game will get more attention?

>>15767017

They're taking what was originally planned as a DLC for 4 and selling it for full price after seeing how all the addons bombed. Anything long term is merely coincidental.

>>15766448

55 reviewer score is basically giving the game a zero. their scale is basically 50 - 90 where anything below is "we stop getting shekels from game companies" and anything above is "i just took the money and pumped out a half assed review"

>>15766533

Actually, it doesn't. Even GameInformer directly admits that a 7/10 means average on their scale. The gaming media inflates review scores to make games look better than they are, so that the publishers remain friendly and willing to give out exclusive previews and early review copies. It has been this way for over a decade. Review scores from most journalists are intentionally deceptive.

>>15766468

>>15766710

And the fact that Bethesda is not pushing social marxism nearly hard enough to get that level of special treatment.

>>15767033

I’d be okay with the inflated scores if they at the very least played the games and gave in depth reviews. It’s horrible when you finally realize there is nowhere to go to get a decent review of vidya any more. About the best you can do is wait a month after the release of a game then ask here.

>>15766468

i guess those cucks remembered when they bullied shitaku

>>15766870

You're Mark. For real. In the real world. Right now. Hi Mark. You're a pretty shitty board owner all things considered. If you actually cared about /v/ more than just having a tiny amount of power over an irrelevant imageboard you'd have stepped down a long time ago.

Strange, did Bethesda forgot to bribe them or are they trying to tank them for the Doom trailer?

Also weird how they are throwing a fit for Underworld Ascendant. Refusing to review it and shit like that because of some bugs and glitches. I mean, have they played video games before? It's not worse off than most games, but that's the case if you don't bribe them i guess.

>>15767237

Underworld Ascendant is so unpolished that gog refused to sell it. Gog was willing to sell Kingdom Come, for reference. That's nowhere near "not worse off than most games."

>>15767237

>shit like that because of some bugs and glitches

>>15767258

Any worse than how Fallout 76 would uninstall itself or crash or endless other bugs that were around or the day 1 patch that was about the same size of the game or bugs that have been around since earlier titles or etc?

>>15766571

Nah, but your waifu certainly is, my dude.

>>15766963

DNF really was that bad. Its gameplay totally, absolutely, undoubtedly sucked.

>>15767422

YES, MORE.

>>15767413

I feel this, I rate most games I play a 2 or 3 out of 10. Some say it sounds unreasonable, but realistically if all they do is "run fine", then they haven't really earned any more points than that. Otherwise it's like saying the movie was average because it ended.

>>15766667

>>Mods

>>On a centralized multiplayer game

It'll happen. What they'll do is try to only allow mods to be installed from Bethesda.net, and I wouldn't be surprised if their FO76 GECK/Creation Kit doesn't even save plugin files locally - but forces even works in progress to be uploaded to Bethesda's servers (just not made public until finalized and published). The "Private" servers are not user-hosted, but Bethesda's own "Private Server Service" and will come with a price-tag for monthly rental. Basically, it's just private matchmaking with a cover charge. When you set up a "Private" server - you'll be able to choose the loadout of mods you want applied. Each mod used will be flagged on that server - and when players connect to your server, the game will automatically download the required mods to that server's own local subfolder and applied when connecting to that server. You will not be able to use mods on your own game, unless you rent a server from Bethesda.

Don't expect private servers or "free" mods until the game has run the bulk of it's course and people are tired of paid mods. When they need to inject a bit of positive news in order to attract newer players and woo back part of their audience that left. The revenue lost by allowing "free Bethesda.Net mods instead of restricting it just to CC - will be more than made up for with private server rental fees.

>>15766533

>>15766557

No, that would be a 6 or a 7.

<5 and below - Trainwreck

>6 - Mediocre

>7 - Average, or Mediocre with some paid reviews

>8 - Good, or Average with even more paid reviews

>9/10 - Good

>>15767641

*In game critic reviewer terms.

even IGN gave it a 5/10, holy shit

>>15767839

For the sake of reference that's the same score as Aliens: Colonial Marines and only .2 points higher than Sonic 2006.

>>15767851

It seems like only a small bastion of retards are still defending it at this point. There's one guy for example streaming it nonstop to see what the level cap is on youtube and on twitch only 2 streams have more than a thousand viewers. Even fucking gamefaqs hates it, it's that bad.

>>15767863

For what it's worth, dan on twitch is a literal bethesda shill who was shitting on the game, then suddenly stopped and has been defending it since. "It gets better after the first 10 hours." "It's more fun when you don't have supplies and have to fight tougher enemies."

>>15767863

>go to gamefaqs

>still tons of retards defending the game

You must be confusing it with another website.

>>15767985

I seriously hope you aren't looking at the message board. They ban anyone who disses any game.

>>15767851

I would've given them the benefit of the doubt when it came to Skyrim and Fallout 4 - How many people actually play these game vanilla, especially on PC? You always hear 'install these hundreds of mods first'. With the engine being the same, I bet many people never ran into the same constant issues or always had a much more superior and somewhat patched up version of these games.

However now with Fallout 55 it should be extremely clear to anyone just how devoid these games are.

Even the "4x bigger world" isn't a technical feat on its own - Tamriel Rebuilt for Morrowind proved this was possible.

>>15768061

that's making fun of trump though, would be understandable why they let it up

not defending gungrabbing don though

>>15766177

>mixed reviews

>55

Clearly they have not realized that reviews use a logarithmic score

55 is a great thing, at least this doesn't tarnish BGS' reputation further because it shows that they aren't bribing the journos.

>>15767851

Aside from the bugs it's a fun game for me, I've always hated the quests and NPCs in every fallout game. I find the most fun with crafting, garbage sorting, and killing enemies.

>>15768064

I played FO4 without mods for 6 months.

>>15768061

>when everybody unites to hate something

Its magical.

>>15768218

>>15768275

Took the BIDF long enough to show up.

>>15768275

>nothing like anything Bethesda has ever made before

It is still using the same engine, though.

>>15768566

Different engine but same editor.

>>15766578

It has literally been that way for decades you underage shilling faggot. When I was a teenager reading Nintendo Power, Xbox Magazine and EGM, the running joke was that no game made by a big studio could get below a 6. The scores have only tightened since. You are only fooling yourself.

>>15766650

>you'll play it anyway, goyim

What kind of half-assed shilling is this? And no, you're wrong – Fallout was never a multiplayer loot'em'up with no dialogue you asshat.

>>15768634

Mario was never a racing, RPG, or party game either.

>>15766177

ITS OK GUYS! DON'T WORRY! WE'VE DISCOUNTED THE GAME BY 40%. THAT SHOULD FIX THINGS!

Just make the game free to play already Todd, you know that's where this ends.

>>15768653

This isn't a genre change.

>>15768660

It's not like they even need to work to monetize it either, since it already has micro transactions.

>>15768470

beautiful

>>15768664

Mario 3 moved away from the linearity of SMB, Super Mario World added puzzles that the other games didn't even have, and Mario 64's transition to 3D was quite a lot different from those 2D era games gameplay wise. And then there are the spinoffs like Dr Mario and Mario Racing for example that are staggeringly different from the main titles.

>>15768675

All the items are purely cosmetics and can be obtained purely through gameplay, it's as useless as buying hats in TF2.

>>15768686

Doesn't stop idiots buying it. Also you literally earn 2 dollars an hour grinding at the start of the game and most likely it gets worse as time goes on.

>>15768681

>Mario 3 moved away from the linearity of SMB, Super Mario World added puzzles that the other games didn't even have, and Mario 64's transition to 3D was quite a lot different from those 2D era games gameplay wise.

None of those are genre changes.

>>15768681

>And then there are the spinoffs like Dr Mario and Mario Racing for example that are staggeringly different from the main titles.

That is called a genre change.

Maybe if Bethesda spent more money on the game instead of these marketers there'd be a couple less bugs.

The formula goes something like this.

>Game is positively received by players

>(((Journalists))) want it to succeed for whatever reason

>"10/10 Masterpiece"

<Game is positively received by players

<(((Journalists))) want it to fail for whatever reason

<"5/10 Gross."

>Game is negatively received by players

>(((Journalists))) want it to fail or are at least indifferent

>"4/10 Awful"

<Game is negatively received by players

<(((Journalists))) want it to succeed

<"9/10 Gamers are dead stop being sexist"

Almost everyone is shitting on this game. They don't think they can get away with shilling Bethesda this time. That's all it is.

>>15768470

kek

>>15768704

>None of those are genre changes.

But you can't argue that controlling Mario 64 is far different from Super Mario Bros. It has 3D gameplay and require far more complex acrobatic movements. It's as much as a genre change as Fallout's shift from 2D turn based to 3D FPS+VATS gameplay. Moreover 76 is a spinoff, not a main game.

>Maybe if Bethesda spent more money on the game instead of these marketers there'd be a couple less bugs.

The problem isn't money, but really short deadline. For the studio that worked on the online aspect of the game it was as short if not shorter than NV. They had to break down the creation engine to pieces, add online system into them, and try their best to put it all back together. I don't believe that the main studio put much of their work into this game, they've been working on Starfield the whole time and the proof is the game is already in a playable state.

>>15768714

There's still a select few floating around trying to damage control it, generally not full fledged journos but some unhinged blue checkmark on twitter, coincidentally many of them seemed to have received copies of the ultra mega edition of the game…

The real takeaway here is that the journalists no longer value their relationship with Bethesda. It’s unknown what the triggering event was that cause this rift, but with them review bombing the game, even going so far as to say they’re not going to put a review out because it would mean playing more of that horrible game, it’s pretty obvious that the media’s love affair is over.

What caused this? Perhaps it is the simple fact that Bethesda has no leverage they can use anymore. They’re essentially an AA publisher on their way down. Every single one of their games for the last two years has been a commercial failure or underperformed so bad they shelved the series. What possibly could Bethesda leverage restricting access to? Starfield a game that uses the same engine as Fallout 76, coming from a developer who forget about their inability to innovate openly boast about how they don’t see what others are doing. Unless of course it’s to steal a mod or two. There’s the thing, Bethesda has constantly made a complete ass of themselves going all the way back to Fallout 4 with Howard boasting they didn’t take any outside feedback when writing the story only to be surprised human like Machines aren’t uncommon. To their lead writing boasting how he doesn’t care about the lore when he writes the garbage he puts out. To their developers spouting retarded shit like radiation causes mutations like the ability to jump twice as high in real life. It’s obvious to everyone who pays enough attention that Bethesda is a company of morons and now that there is competition it shows. That competition mind you is mediocre linear game in an open world garbage, but somehow is vastly superior to this veteran developer.

What really stuck in their craw no doubt is Doom Eternal portaying them as villains and mocking the immigration movement that they championed so loudly until two minutes after the polls closed. Even if that wasn’t it, Bethesda inviting all the content creators, the real movers of consumers to a private event instead of the journos did not do much in the way of building relations.

No Bethesda is fucked. It doesn’t matter how woke they go, they’re not going to be the blanket positive coverage they used to have and they cannot count on the rigged reviews to drive consumers their way. These journos will shill for Battlfield 5 a barely functional, bland, boring experience, so you cannot tell me or yourselves they wouldn’t have lied their ass off for Fallout 76. Nah for once the journos are smart, they see no value in a relationship with a company that can’t produce products that sell (no influence covering them), no value in a relationship with a company that outright lies and tells the fans to go fuck themselves, and no value in a relationship with a company that already whores around on them.

Bethesda is fucked and they fucking deserve it. I only wish someone would leak the interoffice drama that is unfolding as everyone blames everyone for the failure of this game and Zenimax begins questioning whether they want to fund Starfield after the company just demonstrated it can’t even ship a games as a service Fallout experience.

>>15768730

YongYea just boasted about getting a bunch shit from Bethesda because he shills so hard for them. https://youtu.be/jzHLOiVZv7o

When it comes to video games, 5/10 roughly translates to 2.5/10

>>15768863

He's lying, he bought it himself. His story sounds made up.

>>15768870

why would you make up getting free shit from a studio? genuine question, like you'd have to be unhinged to do that

>>15768730

I'm surprised we haven't seen rooster teeth come out and try and defend this shit while wearing the stupid power armor helmets.

>>15768879

Sounds like a desperate attempt at sounding important.

<Yeah a Bethesda guy rang me up because I have an "in" with them and they wanted to gift me some free swag for being so important to them and doing such a good job as a streamer

>>15768882

To be fair they did do this with a lot of their native advertisers. Journos are just jealous because they're not doing it with them. It's a bad breakup.

>>15768890

That bait is so impressive I'm almost convinced you are retarded.

The defenders can't even claim this is Battlecry Studio's game. Todd said himself repeatedly that all of Bethesda's three studios were working on this game before moving onto Starfield.

Not going to be surprised if Zenimax cancels Starfield.

>>15768890

>Starfield is basically going to use a new engine

They've already confirmed that this is untrue.

>>15768898

>The defenders can't even claim this is Battlecry Studio's game.

Watch the documentary bro, Todd said this is Bethesda Austin's child.

>Todd said himself repeatedly that all of Bethesda's three studios were working on this game before moving onto Starfield.

He exaggerated that because he also said that Starfield was already in a playable state in the interview E3. I believe they designed the world and tweaked the lighting and rendering system, but the rest was Battlecry's job.

>Not going to be surprised if Zenimax cancels Starfield.

They're not going to, end of point.

>>15768911

Looks like you just have no reading comprehension and willingly believe the journos' take on that. Here, take a look at the full interview and read by yourself.

https://pastebin.com/kibvUKhM

>I think a lot of people, who are not making games dont understand what the word "engine" stands for.

>They think the engine is this one thing, we view it as technology. There's a lot of different pieces and for every game, parts of that change. For example the renderer, the AI, the animations, the script language and so on.

>Some people talk about Gamebryo but we haven't used that in a decade. A lot of our engine contains a lot of middleware like Havoc. For Fallout 76 we have changed a lot. The game uses a new renderer, a new lighting system and a new system for the landscape generation. For Starfield even more of it changes. And for Elder Scrolls 6, out there on the horizon even more.

>We like our editor. It allows us to create worlds really fast and the modders know it really well. There are some elementary ways we create our games and that will continue because that lets us be efficiend and we think it works best.

>>15766562

>>15766573

> scale is 1-10

> lets not use more than half the numbers

Why is everyone so brain-dead?

I get it that reviewers inflate the score, which lead to people ignoring half hte scale, but that is not the solution. The solution is for you to re-review the gam and give it a proper score on a 1-10 scale, not accept a broken scale.

>>15768928

>Watch the documentary bro, Todd said this is Bethesda Austin's child.

He also said they were all working on it while working on Starfield and the other two teams would fully move on only after it was complete.

>He exaggerated that because he also said that Starfield was already in a playable state in the interview E3. I believe they designed the world and tweaked the lighting and rendering system, but the rest was Battlecry's job.

>my source is a liar, believe my source though

That's fucking retard level bullshit anon and considering Fallout 76 is technically in a playable state that doesn't mean shit for Bethesda.

>They're not going to, end of point.

then we'll get to laugh at another failure.

>>15768928

straight up bullshit. Just adding middleware over the top of things doesn't mean its a new engine. How the hell else do people think they're able to keep using the same editor over and over, the entire file structure system is carried over each time. Most of Gamebryos issues has to do with streaming and with the computational extremities with dealing with persistent databases, the engine was never designed to deal with this which is also funnily enough the same issue Star Citizen is having with CryEngine. It is still very much the same core code because the one thing we all know Gamebryo does better than most engines was large level streaming for MMOs, this is a core tech Bethesda has used since Morrowind and will no doubt keep in the engine. On top of that the collision detection systems in Gamebryo have never been updated hence why you still have the same stuck in doors/terrain bugs from Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3. The animation system has been barely improved, and in Fallout 76 actually took a step backwards.

I don't believe for a second that they're telling the truth here. They are obviously lying. A lie even Chris Robberts has told as well with Star Citizen changing engines- its still at its core CryEngine.

Simply cramming Middlewares into your product is a very very bad way of developing games. Most people in the industry myself included prefer to code everything ourselves because we know what the code does, how it works, what its workflows require, reliance on middlewear is a clusterfuck, sure it can cut a few corners but it has the tendency of removing the developers from quality control- again another byproduct of Bethesda's worthless development philosophy.

Bethesda lies constantly about their tech so it won't surprise me if Starfield is just more of the same.

>>15768945

>The solution is for you to re-review the gam and give it a proper score on a 1-10 scale

Retard, you're not talking to (((game journalists))), you're talking to other consumers on 8chan. Stop doubling down on your retardation and moving the goalposts- everyone fucking knows what is "mathematically correct". The point is that mediocre trash is regularly given a 7, 8, even 8.5 or 9/10.

>>15768653

That's because Mario's audience was literally everyone. Even with the much more mainstream Fallout 3, it is still a niche game when you compare it to a game like Mario. Know your audience.

>>15767851

J-JUST A TEMPORARY SETBACK YOU C-CAN'T F-FAULT THEM FOR TRYING I ENJOYED IT WITH MUH F-F-FRIENDS

>>15766177

I'm watching that fatass Oxhorn who went from WoWdrone to Deepest Lore Fallout Faggot keep playing this fucking turd.

>>15766177

>game probably made over two weeks by a bunch of interns

>clearly no budget for anything

>not even enough money to pay off shills

Face it, even if this game only sold a thousand copies, it would still be a net profit.

>>15769471

It sold less than 20% what FO4 did at launch, it's ogre

>>15769471

>>clearly no budget for anything

the advertisements outside my front door say otherwise. There's billboards and buses everywhere advertising this garbage game.

>>15766177

>metascore for critics

>55

If 50/100 is supposed to be average, then 55/100 is above average, but people give average games a score above 50. What a fucked system.

>>15766650

>Once the dust settles i garentee you'll start seeing more /v/ anons playing and enjoying fallout 76

You are a cocksucking retard

>>15769576

Anything below 50 is considered equally worthless. The system makes no sense. That's why it should be out of 5 or out of 6.

>>15769618

Or don't even have numbers and just give general opinions. That's the most informative review system. We've gamified the review process and now it makes no fucking sense and the "journalists" are completely fine with it, because they get to be buddies with people in the industry.

The amount of shovelware has increased dramatically as of late. I wonder if we'll have a second video game crash. AAA game devs actively hate their audience and tell them not to buy their games. This is but a dream, but I hope the masses give up the AAA schlock and there's a renaissance in retro games.

>>15769764

>shill

While that's plausible, with all Todposting around I wouldn't doubt it's some newfag thinking he's doing "le epic trolle Xd".

>>15766533

Nigger anything under 80 is certified garbage and half the shit over 80 is too cos they're paid shills.

>>15768470

The only thing that could have made it better is if they started playing the skyrim song when the not-skyrimdragon showed up.

OK Ill probably get shit for this but at least bethesda isnt deleting videos and trying to manipulate the youtube rating system like blizzard did.

>>15769822

They have removed reviews from metacritic actually.

>>15769822

>implying it wasn't bathesda that made mistercaption leave jewtube

>>15768945

Go tell the reviewers that shit.

Anything under a 7 being publicly bleated out is a death knell for a game, the devs and reviewers know it and if the devs boss company are paying the reviewers what do you think is gonna happen? Getting 'proper' reviews from that sort isn't possible, the corruption/backhanders are more enticing than telling the truth.

>>15769822

Also embed related got taken down despite having nearly 2 million views and anyone believing some random yuropoor streamer can get it taken down by themselves is delusional.

>>15769481

An 18yo who seems to live in a world full of niggers, chinks, stronk and white manlets.

>>15767641

<9/10 Good

Wrong

>9 Good or lots of money

>10 Lots of hype and money

>>15769829

>>15769847

Fair points. Although what Blizzard did seems more underhanded. They were pulling their own videos and then reinstating them later with hundreds of thousands of dislikes removed.

>even shiteating reviewers who loved FO4 don't like 76

How bad can one game be?

>>15769997

Apparently it's not just bad but boring too. No mods either.

>>15770072

>No mods either.

Didn't someone managed to make some F4 mods work on it?

>>15770109

not exactly, they just said that FO4 mods could easily be made to work *if * the system to load them was in place. It's not a square peg in round hole issue. the peg's round like it's suppose to be , but there's just no hole to stick it in yet.

>>15770195

Depends on the mod. Anything that needs an ESP/ESM container is off the table without a way to load them, but you can still access the local files and make edits. This allows for retextures, nifskope edits, HQ audio replacements, etc. They'll be completely local, and nobody else in the game will see them, but they're possible.

Bethesda could have altered the engine so that it ALWAYS extracts data from the archive, rather than prioritizing unarchived files - but why the fuck would they?

>>15770195

Couldn't a F4 mod loader be slightly modified to work with it?

>>15770269

You mean a mod organizer/installer? No. The thing with FO4 was that the mechanisms with which to load mods were already in place, and just needed to be enabled. I don't know if 76 even has capability to load plugins. You might have to hijack one of the paid mods or DLCs which the game is already allowing to be loaded. Then just use that as a container to inject your own mods. Though you wouldn't be able to load multiple plugins; you'd have to merge all the mods you want into a single mod.

Bethesda's kind of up shit creek ultimately here, because it's not just that the community has years of familiarity with the tools they provided (which still more or less work on newer titles), but that the community has made tons of tools and plugins themselves to expand their ability to mod shit Bethesda never intended you to modify. Being on the same engine with the same file formats, means that they can't really stop mods - they can just try to make the hoops you need to jump through annoying enough that nobody wants to bother.

The biggest hurdle to Fallout 76 mods will be a simple lack of interest. The Fallout 4 mod scene was already a fucking mess compared to Skyrim or New Vegas because there simply wasn't very many people around willing to work on it. Most modders fucked off back to work on previous games. 76 is far less popular than even FO4. Aside from a few autists who are going to work on it simply for the challenge, and for the shot at being a big name modder due to a lack of competition, 76 simply won't have anybody willing to bother.

>>15770338

I see. I can't even say that sucks because the game's such a piece of shit it makes 4 seem playable.

Still it'll be fun to see the eventual roundabout way that'll allow mods to be loaded.

>>15770352

Fantastic.

>>15770835

What's the difference?

>>15770869

>but they have human hips so their pussy is where the human half meets the snake half and they have an ass on the other side

>meaning they would have their sex bits where the snake hole would be

Where do I go if I want both?

>>15771000

Ahaha, oh wow. I forgot this one existed.

They spent like a week making this and then told players they're the only characters in the game and then revealed they can't even fight each other without consent then made everyone a chink, nigger, woman or manlet and then stuck a fucking Skyrim dragon on top.

It's so fucking lazy it's astonishing they even bothered releasing it. I've seen mods with far greater depth, The very idea of it reeks of superficial emptiness I hope anyone buying it learns their lesson hard,

>>15771695

I'm willing to bet everyone who bought it already forgot about it.

>>15771767

All trailers are made by the same group of maybe 3 or 4 animation studios.

>>15771767

>>15771771

That one is exactly like Rage 2's trailer. Both are extremely cringy too.

>>15771767

Cos that's exactly what it is, amongst many other things they got the platform wrong

>>15771767

If you hadn't noticed with Fallout 4, Bethesda thinks that just because the game is named Fallout it will be well received, so now they're lowering the budget as low as possible and trying to sell games by brand name alone. I hope they fuck up this hard with TES6, shit's gonna be fun.

>>15766448

55 by modern reviews is god awful. 70 is average 80 is good 90 is great 100 is really good. In reality a 50 should be average and be a normal review score, 60 would be pretty good 70 would be good 80 would be great 90 would be amazing and 100 perfect

>>15771897

They'd give it a 5 anyways because they're fucking sellout shills with no taste now.

>>15771897

I think it's more of a situation where they don't want to piss off neither Bethesda or their readers, and they can't avoid both by publishing a review,

>>15771902

There are a ton of people who base whether or not they are going to buy a game on reviews. I wonder what they would think if they knew how many websites and magazines were paid off

>>15771913

Wait, are you actually saying there's some that aren't?

>>15771908

See

>>15766647

>>15771917

All the major gaming review outlets are paid off without a doubt. I'm saying some random dude on Youtube who gets 100 views is unlikely to be paid off. Smaller sites that don't get big traffic too

>>15771859

They aren't wrong. This game is considered an absolute piece of shit across the board and they're still probably making bank because of all the whales paying for cosmetics.

>>15772119

Yup. Nowadays a 68 is an kinda bad to okay score when it would have meant above average 10 years ago. Under 70 means it's either mediocre or utter trash now

>>15766468

Because it had a beta, so there was no excuse. With Diablo Immortal it was just a reveal and no one has really played it yet so you can still easily defend it with "just wait and see before judging!" Fallout 76 lost that excuse when people finally got their hands on it.

Who else can't wait for the leaks to find out what kind of shit show is going on inside Bethesda right now as this game has failed and failed hard. Even if the microtransactions are good they'll never recover 82% decrease in sales over Fallout 4 which sold worse than New Vegas.

>>15772997

You know anon I used to say I don't need to set myself on fire to know it'll burn then that SJW retard set himself on fire and was surprised it hurt. At that point I learned these people actually can't determine consequences based on available information.

>>15773037

And they'll never buy another Bethesda game because it was so shit. 76 is proving that right now

>>15773089

Your almost a god liar as Todd Howard. Theres justifiable hate for a game there theres this.

>>15773098

>stop proving me wrong, it hurts my feelings

>>15773098

Fallout 4 is objectively shit, and anyone who likes it is a nigger.

>>15772082

Sadly I can confirm some people still think it's good. A guy I play tabletops has been playing it daily and the bulk of his reason for playing boils down to 'Fun with friends'. Of course any criticism he hears about it is met immediately with something along the lines of 'You're just mad people like things you don't.Truly these people are fucking drones.

Same dude also plays on a furry vore SS13 server too, so thats something to say about the quality of people here.

>>15770352

Gold

>>15766512

That's a long shot, though, given that they're bugs that Bethesda have been unable to fix since they first appeared in Morrowind sixteen years ago.

>>15774241

They have entered the failing multiplayer game spiral. It starts with a satisfaction guarantee (AKA a refund if you don't like the game), then they'll give out 24 or 48 hour free passes, then the price drops to $20, then the game becomes f2p or they shut it down.

>>15776572

>50% off

It's ogre. Todd will never recover.

>>15776572

now if only the class action lawsuit goes through that would be make this year so much better

it's just fallout 4 multiplayer

if fallout 4 got good ratings then this should too, but I guess gayming journalists needed to bash some game to not have only 8+ scores in the database and picked this one

not defending failout 76, just saying that 4 was also shit so it should get 4/10 like this shit, but journos give real ratings only once in ten years

>>15789944

It's not over until they pay US

>>15769463

To his credit he did say a lot of people will be disappointed with the game. He's a loretard anyway, a decent one but he's not going out and saying it plays amazingly. He's having fun with it and he is answering people honestly when they ask if they should get it.

>>15790036

>fo4 mp

it's literally skyrim mp reskinned to be fallout

>>15776572

>It is currently being sold in a sales promotion on Amazon for $34.99, which is a 42% discount from its launch price

Shit should have been 20 at launch.

>>15768996

>Yeah, but 76 was rushed while Starfield isn't going to be released any soon.

It's coming out next year. Then the year after that will be ES VI.

They have chosen to focus all energy on defending BFV

>>15790603

B-but it's not out yeeeeeeeeet

B-but it's a Beeeeeeeeeta

B-but they'll patch iiiiiiiiittttttttttt

B-but I don't want to be aloooooooooooone.

>>15790603

Are they really putting out Starfield first? That sounds like a terrible idea unless they're sending it out to die on purpose.

>>15773089

I fucking knew it. All you stupid cunts spewing the PR bullshit over and over like it was facts are proven to be brain dead mongoloids that you are. Eat shit.

>>15790907

The fact that they never showed any real numbers proves that it sold like shit.

>>15790395

That is probably an insult to No Man's Sky.

>>15791019

If someone mentioned something I'd made in the same breath as No Man's Sky I'd probably hang myself to prevent further mediocrity contagion. It fits perfectly as a snide knowing dig in a scathing review of 76, that it's in a good one hurts my head.

>>15791225

Just think how old you will be in 4 years. Will you still play videogame shitposting?

>>15791298

Battlecry is the BGS Austin studio, they made FO76 and are working on their patches and add-ons. BGS Dallas helped Id with Doom 2016 and they're going to help BGS Maryland with Starfield too.

>>15776572

My fucking sides, Fallout 76 might cost them billions and kill them in the long run if their next game isn't good

>>15791225

This best be a joke
