I instead started a new Fallout 4 game. Currently helping Valentine get out of a bind.
I don’t hate Fallout 76 but I can’t get into it. I think because of the lack of story, the fact that I can never find any good gear, and the quests I’ve found have been pretty boring. I need some semblance of structure or my ADHD brain is saying bye bye.
I was ready to pounce on you for F076 but you are absolutely right for disliking it.
There's a few quests that have a satisfying conclusion. But a lot of it is just go in a direction, pick up side quests and see what happens. I have a lot of fun just wandering, looting, then returning to my giant house full of all my loot.
I think at some point I have to get over the hump and establish a nicer camp. I see so many elaborate ones that blow my mind and that honestly looks like where the source of the fun comes from for some people. I still go back to 76 somewhat regularly but it never sticks for long. The community is always really nice which is definitely a draw since I’m pretty hesitant to talk to other players sometimes.
I saw that the next-gen update for 4 is coming out next week, so I went ahead and bought the PS4 version for $5 in preparation for the free upgrade. I already have all the DLC from back when it came out, but I had the disc and traded it in years ago.
I got 76 cheap on Steam a few years ago (because I refuse to pay to play online), but didn't get very far. About what I expected, but I wanted to at least try it out.
Pretty much the same reason I bought 76 too. I think I’d like it with a crew, but I don’t really play like that these days. I do find that the community is really friendly and helpful though when you come across people.
Had no idea there was a next-gen update coming. That’s exciting! Fallout 4 already looks great on my Xbox Series X so I can’t even imagine what better looks like.
Yeah, it's coming out April 25th. It's been long enough since I played it that I think another playthrough at 60fps would be worth it. Especially since I already know the story and characters are meh (except for Valentine, he's cool) and will be in it for the exploration and looting. It's certainly a better game than Starfield, at least!
I liked Starfield… for a little while anyway. It felt way too empty though. I finished the story and then there wasn’t really much else to do. I built a cool ship and then got bored.
Valentine is pretty much the character I spend almost the whole game with as a companion. Piper isn’t bad but Valentine is my favorite.
