Haven't really been following it this much, but I felt as a FO fan I needed to check out Bethesda's showcase atleast for more information on FO76, how do I feel about it... Somewhat disappointed, I had a niggling feeling (as did many I suppose) that it was going to be a purely online game but I thought I'd wait until it had officially been called by Todd Howard.
Much to my disappointment it was, However. Howard, did say it could be played Solo so that was somewhat of a saving grace for me as long as I can turn off other players to some degree, play my own server, explore and quest in West Virginia on my own I can deal with it. hopefully that will be the case.
I never did see the Fallout Franchise as an 'Multiplayer' game since the singularity of the player character has been at the forefront of the game mythos, for as long as I can remember. Lone Wanderer, Sole Survivor, The Courier. I don't know maybe a lot of this is due to my own prejudices of a immense loathing of PvP and Co-op games. I'm of the analogue generation of gamer's from the early 90's upwards, online play was never a focus then, well not as much as it is today atleast. I feel the online aspects make it too competitive and not really that enjoyable as a solo experience anymore. Still I am willing to give it a chance due to my love of the Fallout Franchise and I won't be one to cast it aside due to my own beliefs on Multiplayer games. As long as other players leave me alone during my sessions I will be content.
I did find my interest piqued at a couple of titles mind including Rage 2 (For it's Borderlands/Mad Max style aspects) Starfield and naturally Elder Scrolls VI, they will hopefully remain single player as it's seemed to be implied. Outside of Bethesda I was also interested by Cyberpunk 2077 from the Witcher 3 team. However over the next few days I will be looking to acquire Jurassic World Evolution, because who doesn't want to build there own Jurassic Park.
