    There were a couple of console launch exclusives but no indication how long the delay for the ps4 versions would be

    Remember how DmC, Darksiders 2 and Diablo 3 came out not that far from each other and all had nephilim as part of the story?

    That was weird.

    I thought Cyberconnect2 were so bad at making games that Square had to take them away for their own good and show them how it's done though, they couldn't even make an OLD game again, how could they possibly make a new one

    (for real though if I were Cyberconnect I would be eyeing other publishers to work with other than them after FF7)

    That may be what unsells me on it for real

    The shooting in Fallout 76 looked solid enough without VATS

    Honestly I think it was in 4 as well, that definitely wasn’t my issue with that game

    It is, but still not solid enough where it should be the ONLY thing

    All I'm seeing in this trailer is mobile enemies where I wish I could just VATS them

    oh the nuke stuff in Fallout 76 grosses me out so so so much

    I am not even a little down for framing nuclear weapons as this fun revenge tool (or even "just cuz!"), fuck this game

    When people say 76 is missing the point of Fallout, I’m not sure exactly what games they were playing considering the last few

    They’ve never struck me as particularly thoughtful, responsible, weighty or serious

    As was pointed out, Fallout 3 gave you a portable nuke launcher

    EDIT: Also Bethesda has had control of Fallout for a longer time and published more games than whoever the previous dev was, I think they’re pretty firmly in control of what “the message” of that series actually is

    A lot of it has to do with a) I was a teenager when Fallout 3 came out and b) the Fat Man was basically an easter egg that I never even encountered in my playthroughs, and this is one of the major selling points of 76 that they're producing entire video segments to highlight

    and just because you've been doing something longer than the original people does not mean you know it better, see: the last 15 years of the same guy running The Simpsons

    People have been talking a lot about how the Bethesda fallouts have slowly been making fallouts that lose sight of the original point of fallout

    Where initially the 50s aesthetic and rah rah America stuff was supposed to stand in contrast to the barren nuclear wastelands, which were just sort of a constant reminder about the failures of that culture and ideology

    And it's slowly become more and more about how, gosh that culture was *great* and isn't it just a shame that the bombs fell and ruined it? Ah well we're all having a goofy fun time here in the wasteland, shooting people and listening to old timey music

    I can't believe Bethesda ended their conference by announcing a game that probably won't be out for at least 2 years and then announcing another game that probably won't be out for 5 years

    Fixed a Bunch of gameplay balance things, added 60fps mode, and had Vergil’s DLC and Bloody Palace.

    It’s real good.

    so .... like every presenter at E3?

    alternately

    could be worse .... Square begins every conference by announcing a game that won't be out for 10 years and ends it by announcing a game that won't be out ever

    I loved FO3 and FO4.

    FO76 looks completely uninteresting to me and certainly will lose what I enjoy about the FO games.

    People have been talking a lot about how the Bethesda fallouts have slowly been making fallouts that lose sight of the original point of fallout

    Where initially the 50s aesthetic and rah rah America stuff was supposed to stand in contrast to the barren nuclesr wastelands, which we're just sort of a constant reminder about the failures of that culture and ideology

    And it's slowly become more and more about how, gosh that culture was *great* and isn't it just a shame that the bombs fell and ruined it? Ah well we're all having a goofy fun time here in the wasteland, shooting people and listening to old timey music

    I don't think it's glorified that culture, there's plenty of "look how dumb and shortsighted this shit is" surrounding pre-war relics, especially around atomic energy

    I do think it's gotten far away from the anti-war aspect, aside from the very basic "look at how shitty everything got cuz of the WAR"

    Now that I think of it, that may be why Bethesda is so hesitant to spruce up the wasteland, even two hundred years after the bombs fell -- because if you clean it up and rebuild society and it looks like nothing ever happened, then it loses its impact and becomes "well nuclear war is bad, but we can get over it, so what's the big deal?"

    Obviously there's a million ways to write around that problem but that's the first reasonable thought I've ever had as to why Bethesda still won't clean up the skeletons or patch the holes in people's clothes, so hey
