I played every fallout game as they came out. Bought my first windows computer to play F1 after playing it on my roommates computer. I was extremely excited for F76, but held off on purchasing until the reviews came in.
Very quickly realized that it was never going to be the game for me. Really glad I didn’t get burned on that purchase, but disappointed that I never was able to immerse myself in MMO fallout. It had such potential to be great.
If it was an actual MMO or had no online features at all it would be pretty good, IMO. It’s too small in the player count for it to be a real, good, MMO, and the online features get in the way of a solo experience (the AI lags and rubber bands super annoyingly). It’s a shame, because it’s basically more Fallout 4 (gameplay wise anyway) but with a bunch of shit in the way of making it actually fun.
My understanding is that it’s been pretty well supported with a steady stream of content, patches and improvements, and the community is pretty fun. I have not played it, but I do hear good things overall.
It’s definitely changed a great deal since release. I started playing ~2 years ago and still do regularly. Bethesda doesn’t devote a ton of resources to 76 but there is something new every few months. The community is better than some other games I’ve played and in general is helpful and chill.
Yeah, I started seeing the narrative change probably 6 to 8 months after launch. Definitely by the end of year one. I think what has me most intrigued is you don’t have people who are super defensive and angry about it (cough Star Citizen cough), I just regularly see someone pipe in going “I’ve actually been playing at the last few months and it’s been pretty fun. I would recommend people check it out.” Just a solid recommendation.
