Current Events > wtf Fallout 76 comes out in 2 days?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Feels like just yesterday Todd Howard was on that stage orchestrating chaos

0 hype for it. Just like BF5. Game is already out for the early access programs and out for everyone in a week and not a single fuck is given about it.

a friend of mine is super excited about it and trying to make me believe everyone is positive and hyped. no idea if it's true but it sounds like he's lying to me and himself.

dont fall for it. Both games are gonna be trash. just wait until January if you plan on buying them. By then the games will have several patches on them and since they are "Games as a service" games, they will have some extra content by then too. Plus they will probably be half priced by then too

Im waiting for it to drop so I can get real opinions on it from non spazzes.

I'm having some fun with Battlefield 5 tbh despite the terrible lighting issues on maps.

Yeah, I've only heard bad things about it and no one seems hyped to me. We'll see, though.

I don't think I've heard a single positive thing about the game yet.

Name it and I'll estimate how much they fixed it.

There are still some lame glitches, like if you're towing a cannon with your truck the physics can get fucked up but it's kind of fun >_>

The physics glitches were some of the main ones.

Things like running and getting stuck on small rocks or trying to vault only having it fail on you and you get stuck on a fence.

people clipping into things when they die making them impossible to revive.

vehicles getting hung up on small objects or spazzing out and flipping when they hit things.

Things like weapon sights being opaque or misaligned

weapon balance being totally wack where each class had about 1 good gun

vehicle balance in planes where one plane is objectively superior to its counterpart

Audio being super quiet for enemies so you cant hear them sneaking up on you anymore

then just general quality of life improvements like easing up on the attrition system. More incentive to fortify bases, spotting actually doing something instead of the yellow arrow, soldiers glowing while indoors.

@SH_expert44

Physics are a little more solid now for the most part. You still encounter issues like vehicles getting stuck on dumb things (especially if someone digs a reinforcement bank on the road, if you stop on one of those it could be an issue). Besides the one issue I had where my truck went flying forward off a bridge into the water while towing an artillery piece I haven't seen any outrageous vehicles twitching out or flying, though.

Usually you can revive people, though I have noticed that every once in a while when you get revived you get flung out like ten feet from where you were >_>. I've... apparently already played 22 hours and in that time I have only seen one instance where reviving got disabled for the whole server, that was weird. Everyone's E key just stopped working apparently.

I think they fixed the "climbing up objects" thing about 95% of the way. There are still some instances where I try to jump a wall that looks short enough and my character reaches up... and then doesn't grab the top. It's just kind of misleading. I haven't gotten stuck on any rubble or climbing through windows like in the beta, but I have had some minor difficulties trying to get on top of shorter objects at times. Still nothing as frustrating as the beta where you got stuck on rubble.

Another glitch I saw (once) was on the final stage of the grand operations mode. Each team is trying to capture a central point, and then the team that captures it has a certain number of lives and time to try to carry bombs to the other team's comms stations. The problem is that on one of the matches one of the bombs failed to spawn, and the game lets you keep playing as long as one of the bombs is in play (either being carried or planted)... so that match just didn't end :(

Weapon sights for handheld firearms are fine, though some of the scopes are too dark for their own good on some of the maps. Mounted weapons on vehicles are screwed up though. If you're on a gunner's seat on a tank for instance the machine gun does not turn at all, and when you zoom in you lose the crosshairs (since you're supposed to be looking down the sights) but it doesn't let you aim down the sights...

I think it's still too early to tell about guns since people keep saying not everything is in the game. I do know that the default gun for Medic, the Sten, is extremely weak and you need to get headshots constantly if you want to have a chance to get kills with it. I'm looking forward to finishing the assignments for the Sten so I can move on to better things.

I suck at planes so I don't know if they are still unbalanced, but the AA is definitely buffed up now (... almost too buffed, since you can reliably shoot down the transport planes on grand operations when the other team is *just* jumping out the door >_>).

Haven't noticed any serious audio issues.

People do seem to be actually taking advantage of fortifications more, and I've gotten into a couple squads that actually work together as a team and fortify things to help the team advance. But fortifications still don't give anywhere near as many points as they should.

Spotting is gone, but I think it's supposed to be that way. Snipers can spot and I have seen people get marked somehow but I don't know if it's just because everyone's looking their way or what.

Soldiers don't glow indoors but I wish they would. I don't have any flickering light / shadow issues like I did in the beta, but there's still a very big contrast (even with HDR off) that makes it really hard to see interior spaces on some maps. And you can't make it too bright because the next map is always set in the snow and it's blindingly bright.

To be fair if you go by CE nobody cares about Fortnite either. Most of us aren't really the audience for this game.

I've never heard of fallout 76

Just found out today too... not buying it. Didn't even know RDR2 came out already. The perks of working 80 hours a week.
