Reminding yourself of Fallout 76 should help cool down the hype.
@Hanabie @ArchmageAzor
Fallout 76 was intended to be a MMORPG, i guess, due to a MMO hype. But Bethesda has a lot of single player RPG fans because Bethesda published sccessful series like TES and FO. They tried to throw single players into a MMO game, it was a bad idea but i believe that's a lesson learned.
We'll see how Starfield turns out. I'll wait and see what this game looks like and make a decision after watching YouTube videos and reading reviews. Bethesda isn't an automatic buy anymore for me.
@Hanabie
Alright. Do you avoid buying Bethesda games very early because of your experience with FO76? I never played it because its MMO but heard both good and bad comments about it.
Yes. I generally avoid most games on release day and wait for reviews. Some time ago, I stopped preordering, too, ever since No Man's Sky.
@Hanabie
So did i, until starfield. Will be my first preorder because i need to do my own mistakes 😖😅. I have been fine with older Bethesda games i played years after release.
Maybe it's an awesome game and my worries unfounded. More great stuff to play is always good :)
And 76 wasn't all that bad. There were a lot of really great elements in it that, had 76 instead been a single player game (or at the most a co-op game), it'd have been much more well received.
The world was fun, the new monsters are cool, the combat was basically the same as FO4.
@Chailles
Yeah, i heard the last updates containing more story (or story at all?) made it a very good game.
I would try it if i still didn't have FO4 on my pile of shame. Finished FONV last May (i started gaming in 2020 after several years of pause).
