Is Fallout 76 Worth Playing After Wastelanders?
With Wastelanders now out, I decided to give the game another shot. Is Fallout 76 finally worth playing? The short answer is sort of.

- an empty shell of Fallout 4 and still as bugged.
- specifically designed to make as much money as possible through the subscription (why is this even a thing ? ), ingame shop and merchandise.
- brought to you by a company with a track record of lying to their fan base.
But it is nice that they managed to get the game improved from horrible to mediocre.
This game is riding on the current rage of mediocre multiplayer survival games. Where somehow some people get easily fooled by thinking it is a great game because they have fun with friends. The moment you take away multiplayer, they would see how shallow those games are. I mean, you could call Discord a fun game with friends.
Conan Exiles, Ark, Fallout 76 are all bad unoptimised games with low amount of content.
They are not more impressive in features then vanilla Minecraft, just way buggier with more expensive assets. And because of that are overpriced for what they are.
And Fallout 76 is the worst of those 3 when it comes to quality.
First 2 minutes looks promising.
In 76's current state, it still isnt perfect, but I'm having surprisingly good time with it playing for the first time. I have 26 hours in it so far and I havent run into any game breaking bugs or things I've seen in Youtube videos that make fun of the game.
However, id still encourage suggestions for alternative post apocalyptic MMOs. Theres a pretty decently large amount of people that want to play a good post apocalyptic MMO. But the options we currently have are terrible.
Defiance, The Will to Live online, sZone online, The Skies, Dead Maze, etc. In my opinion Fallout 76 so far is better then all of these games. Maybe when Little Orbit finally releases the remastered version of Fallen Earth, that could potentially be really good, but I don't know. They've shown no proof of it.
I've still got my fingers crossed for E8mber and that Rising Fire online game I'm kinda surprised no one is talking about.
The server is part of the sub.

How is it overblown? The makers made promises then broke them. They even punished people for pointing out bugs and exploits in the game. Now they're even stealing from players.

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

Not trying to sugarcoat it, the game had many problems, large and small, similar to the majority of any newly launched mmorpg's would have, nothing new there and internally people made some very bad decisions with regards to things such as the collector edition.
However........ when all that was going on i was playing the f'ing shit outta the game, having an amazing good time, but how could that be according to the internet i should be outside their head office with torch and pitchfork in hand for so badly wronging human society. Do you people even listen to yourselves, it's a f'ing video game, a very playable and fun af video game at that.
Solo was impossible at launch, and now with the sub i can confirm it's just as fun with or without friends.
The key to video games is to have fun, and multiplayer games key is fun with friends so you're kinda saying Fallout 76 scored a huge win there.
