Fallout 76
7 years ago
General
If you asked me 3 years ago when fallout 4 was announced, On my thoughts on a multiplayer or co-op fallout game. My answer was, im not intreasted in a MMO fallout. I want a single player fallout.
3 years later fallout 76 has been offically shown off at bethesdas E3. And with it comes some hype, And a want to play it. The more thought I put into it the more I find myself OK with the Idea. I kick myself to this day for not getting on the ESO bandwagon when it went FTP. Now to much has passed for me to get into it. Iv also heard bounty horror stories where people cant play a character because they have a 12k bounty.
But fallout 76 looks like a game I could have fun in, even being a Online only game. Its not a MMO. As only 12-24 will be on any given server. So someone like me that really enjoys there single player experiences, could enjoy fallout 76. A game which for the most part, il probably end up playing by myself. As most of my friends wont get it, or wont have the time to play it with me, or worse yet, play it with out me.
But while I can say im honestly excited for the game, I do have my concerns. The game has no TRUE single player. Your single player is you playing it by you're self and with up to 23 other people. And these players could be solo like you, Or with a partner, or a group. And the threat of anyone of them wanting to just attack anyone at random is very high.
I used to play the division, but when you needed to go to the darkzone to get good gear. it became a shoot on sight senario. Where you killed any player you saw, so they didnt kill you instead. Now take that premise, and apply it to the entire playable world. Now you have 24 people that trust no-one, and shoot on sight. Maybe not to be a dick, or ass hole. But because they dont want to take the chance that you are one.
And then Power armor comes into play. I already know that power armor works the exact same in fallout 76 as it does in fallout 4. You can ell this by examining the gameplay from E3. And I mean its the exact same. So its balanced in that you need fusion cores to operate it at full capacity, need a frame to use it, and all the peices need reapir and can be broken. But how do you handle a group of 4, vs 1 player?
Its this that makes me worry about the nature of this game, and why i feel you almost need people to play with, Just to help deture potential attackers.
I will say that im curios about the beta, I will be pre-ordering so I can play the beta. And get a hands on rundown of the game.
All in all, Im excited for the game, more so then I was. And I cant wait to see how the new settlment mode will work when dealing with new threats and enemy players. and how death effects the player. its obviously not perma death, but whats the risk to dieing? Whats the reward for killing another player? And how are they gonna balance explosives?
I will say that the ginat sloth made me laugh, and I was real giddy about them haveing a MG42 in the game. I wounder how weapon crafting will be used in fallout 76?
Well thats all my thoughts and rambalings on the topic, Fallout 76 release Nov 14, 2018, only 4 months give or take. So all abaord the hype train, On our way to west virgina, our home of vault 76.
