Not a fan of the last few games?

76 was a bit different, but I still liked it overall once the bugs were worked out. I thought FO4 was decent too, even though I wasn't all that interested in the base-building component.

FO4 has good gameplay, the story is fine. 76 is a online version of FO4 with a subpar story.

Bugs were your major issue with the game? That's it?

Personally I didn't like 76 because it's boring. There's nothing fun to do and story is told through terminals FFS.

I don't understand why they couldn't just make a normal Fallout game with real people in it. You could do it Borderlands/Dead Island-style, where people can jump in on your session, or go full role-play and give people real jobs with real duties. Or a hybrid where you can either be a RPer, or a wanderer in a server where the RP jobs are replaced by NPCs. Either option would have worked better than the crap we got.

They added them later but I think they under populated servers when looking at players to be content. It's actually quite good and has been for a while, ive been considering another play through.

It's just a matter of opinion I suppose.

With all the changes they made post launch I really think the game got a lot better. They ended up updating it to be much more like a trypical Fallout game. I enjoyed it more than FO4 in some ways.

The story wasn't as good as NV or FO3, but the mechanics, world/envoronment, and new mutants were all great IMO.

I wonder if I'd like it now considering I wasn't a fan The Elder Scrolls Online.

It really did seem to go through a No Man's Sky turn around from what I've heard

It really turned itself around after launch. I'd give it a try next time it goes on sale.
