Kendo 2

Well, the fanboi dam has burst and they can't hold back the truth anymore. Let them be delusional. As long as Bethesda has their army of on-line lemmings they'll continue to make shit games. I don't have a problem with dumasses getting fleeced, kinda like how feminists screw one another over with their 'going-nowhere-fast' GoFundMe scams. Let'em fuck each other over. The dysfunctional symbiosis fanbois have with Bethesda is the same thing. 'Nothing wrong here. Take my money and keep doing what you're doing.'

In Bethesda's shoes I would take the game offline and refund everyone's money. Accept the loss for what it is. Then I would rework 76 as a single player game; no pvp, no co-op, no microtransaction store. Then I would devote one calendar year to nothing but bug fixes; no engine updates or anything else, just fix what is broken. Finally I would remove all lore breaking elements; BOS, the Enclave, super mutants, brahmin, deathclaws AND the story elements. What I would add; replace the super mutants with creatures like the hillbillies from FO3 Point Lookout, and add human NPCs who are fellow 76 residents. They don't need quests or extended dialogue, just use them as vendors or people to trade goods with. Also make the Overseer a real person who joins you with a small band of fellow residents for the final boss battle. Don't change the story premise or anything else like that. And FINALLY I would release the game at the sticker price of $10.00. All of that would could potentially save Bethesda's reputation and restore a little faith in the company. Also, people wouldn't have Starfield and ES6 in the sniper's crosshairs the way they do now. It would give Bethesda wiggle room for their next release. BUT none of this is going to happen because Bethesda has always been a shit stain company and they're not about to change.

It's one thing for guys like us pointing it out and having fanbois attack us or moderators on LL or Nexus delete our posts; but those assholes can't do anything about mainstream gaming journalists taking Bethesda to task. Even the scrublord shill Youtubers can't spin 76 into a good game. What's funny to me is formerly aggressive and 'right by default' fanbois are playing the victim now. It's like they ARE Bethesda. I swear, it's s fucking cult like Feminism or Democrats.

So much good has come out around the release of FO76. Bethesda's reckoning was LONG overdue.

So have you guys heard what the main plot point in FO70shits is? The Greybeard Overseer leaves clues about the Alduin Scorch Beast that turns people into Scorched Draugr who serve it. The final boss battle is with the Alduin Scorch Beast (a health bar that flies). Oh, and people were rebuilding the world UNTIL the Scorch Beast Alduin messed things up a few days before you left the Helgen Vault. That's what the petrified corpses are. That whole 'rebuilding the world' thing...yeah you just missed it. None of the notes laying around mentions any of this and neither do the robot or Supermutant vendors. Only the Greybeard Overseer's messages lead the way. AWESOME WRITING skills yah got there at Bethesda. Practically Game of fucking Thrones.

This is turning out to be a bigger shit show than ME:Andromeda.

That FO70shits thread at LL is a reflection of the entire site membership.

Nigga be swole...

If the Metacritic score for FO70shits stays where it's at it will be the worst game of the year. Too funny. As it stands right now 70shits is worse than ME:Andromeda. Think about the hit EA took and look at what's happening with 70shits now. Bethesda's reign of glory might be coming to an end; two bad games back to back isn't a winning formula. Too bad Zenimax isn't a publicly traded company. I'd love to see their market numbers.

This is an interesting take on the situation and he has an anecdote about randomly meeting Bethesda art devs a month before before the game was released.

Speaking of sellouts, I think I might have hit on something. The Youtubers who aren't roasting the game and Bethesda might rely on the goodwill of the fans. They want to keep those views and clicks coming in, so they're not saying anything to the scrubs who hate when their cult icons are attacked. 'You said mean things about Bethesda. You're just a hater. Unsubscribed!'

The usual Youtube shill brigade is almost universally panning the game, including the bought and paid for endorsements from that Bethesda 'meet n greet' they had in WV maybe a month ago. Fanbois might be defending FO70shits but they ain't gonna play it; no nude or sex mods.

THE question is; what engine are they using? Unity has a bad habit of not allowing licencees to release their games. Unreal has a 'if we don't like what you're using our software for we'll pull the plug'. Frostbite has issues when used for something other than sports games or gun-and-runs. The game looks interesting but there's too many unknowns. Release the game and I'll think about it...maybe.

Good Lord...

So some douche 'games journalist' decided that the Creation Engine is a-okay after YongYea made a video about how it isn't...And we have this.

Jim Sterling is a cunt.

If Bethesda doesn't need a modern engine then they don't need my money either.

*sarcasm* The servers were top-notch for ESO so there shouldn't be any issues,

Bethesda's 'new Creation Engine' can't handle parallax lighting or dynamic shadows. They're using the same drop light bulbs as they did in Oblivion. The devs did manage to 'figure out' omni-directional lighting AFTER a modder made it work using OBSE scripting. To this day Bethesda is still using meshes (YES, meshes) to simulate glow FX from lighting. Lighting is one of the limitations of the Gamebyro engine that Bethesda hasn't been using for 10 years. The lights look flat because the formula is circa 2006.

Try out some old school funk. Fun Fact; this was the first song to ever use a synthesizer for the base rifs.
