This is a (hopefully ongoing) weekly thread to talk about what we're all playing this week. Share your experiences, give recommendations, talk about your accomplishments.
I've never gotten into the series myself. I watched some of the Fallout 76 stuff, honestly it looks a lot like Fallout 4. It looks like a slightly different setting and more of the same. Am I wrong?
I'm actually a little worried by what I've seen of 76. All the other fallouts have been single player RPGs, and this new one is going to be online-only multiplayer. Its also not going to have NPCs (all characters are human) so I'm worried its not even going to be an RPG, just an arena shooter with a lot of items. They've also always had a system called VATS where the gameplay is paused/slowed and your character makes an attack based on your stats. Of course you cant have multiplayer with only one of the players slowing down time, so VATS is gone for the new game.
Huh. So... like either like Rust or GTA, then? Rust was a total shit show for me and I haven't played GTA since Vice City.
I'm too busy for games at the moment. This whole Fallout 76 thing has me in a Bethesda mood though. I'm thinking about modding out Fallout New Vegas and losing myself (once my schedule clears up).
