There's no reason to assume this isn't just another cash grab, like the shitty nuka cola rum, or the canvas bag made of cheap nylon. I'll wait for the release and reviews before I ever give Bethesda a dime.

It is just a cash grab. Bunch of creative minds create a nuclear fallout package that needs you to go online to redeem it.
They can't even grasp the most simple of concept their games have: stuff that works hundreds of years after a nuclear fallout.

A real storage case would have an offline collection of the games, a guide on the basics of survival after nuclear war, a simple radiation badge and maybe even a glowing Nuka-Cola bottle.
It's that simple. (Relatively.)

Sounds lile a future legendary bundle /s

It is, because you have to wait for it.

I'm not sure what you'd even expect. An actual working mininuke?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

That’d be nice but they are probably more looking for it to be metal instead of plastic

They have a lot of balls to drop this after the Fallout 4 special edition. And to include Fallout 76 as ‘a hit game’. I thought it was FTP now?

It seems like it was free to play only for a week, during their 5 year anniversary.

Dang, I missed it and I would have liked to at least try it, but.. eh. Probably nothing of worth was lost.

The collection includes Steam codes...

So what's the point? Just buy the games from Steam.

The mini-nuke case looks it can't hold nothing about cards.

It does look fun

Wonder if that's related to the sudden change in this week's upcoming free games from Epic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I'll go with Epic on this deal, haha

Morons can't even pull off a Grognak the Barbarian stunt.

So it's a $50 bomb model? I mean that's not bad I guess. Assuming it's a decent model and not like the garbage Bethesda usually ships nowadays.

Not that new, looks like the same model released with Fallout 4
