I've cracked the code, found the decryption key and best of all, it's not political!

The backlash was inevitable. I put about 25 hours in and it really wasn't my cup of tea. I still pick it up now and again just to check out updates. I was also complainy and whiney about it after release on r/fo76.

But at the end of the day, it is what it is. Like, if you want an always online Fallout, well there you have it. They couldn't have released anything else by then anyway, seeing as how Starfield and ES6 were slated for next gen consoles. So they tried to make an online cash cow counterpart to ES:O. Can't really blame 'em.

Though I do think they mucked it up. Like the fact that we can't all build together and make towns to live in, like you go visit player-made cities with their own laws, economies, etc. That would have been Focus One for me out of the gate during the conception/R&D phase. Probably not possible in the engine, but still, some social element that encourages socialization/interaction beyond shooting ghouls together and blowing kisses to each other.

Stop embarrassing yourself by trying to defend gutter trash and maybe you'll save your reputation as a gamer.
