No Fo76 for me. also here in Germany and exactly that, what I already said! and I also said, I doubt that there will be private servers. Fallout 76: No release on Steam - requires Launcher Bethesda.net! http://www.buffed.de/Fallout-76-Spiel-61712/News/nicht-auf-Steam-1262305/ https://www.windowscentral.com/fallout-76-wont-launch-steam that's the end of Bethesda's Modding Era (Private)
Lexi SubZero Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 No steam release? Oooh, that means... (as Marcus Kincaid from Borderlands would say) "Two words, my friends: NO REFUNDS" ...also no review bombing if Beth fucks up hard and/or F76 turns out to be a huge flaming pile of shit. Geez, it's almost like they think people don't have enough reasons NOT to buy this game.
Ernest Lemmingway Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Actually it's not surprising that FO76 would be launched through BethNet. Bugthesda will be the ones hosting the game servers, after all. They want total control over the game.
Sylandras Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 -So won't be able to get mods on nexus or steam workshop or anywhere else but Bethesda themselves-no steam-paid mods-probably be FULL of microtransaction on top of paid mods-online only-survival clone in the way of fortnite-no refunds (except despite Bethesda saying no refunds, its a legal requirement in EU and AU which overrides Bethesda if someone lives in either of those two. Steam tried already to avoid refunds Bethesda, you lose so go waste money on lawyers)Anything else I'm missing?

Which begs the question of why?

Outlast1 Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 'sigh' guys in my opinion we all knew this day would come. Skyrim is the last and anything we see after is gonna be more and more like EA. "takes off hat, bows head". time to bury beth in a shallow grave, and move on. Fallout is dead, Elderscrolls is dead, Starfield is already dead, and now what remains of my already dead heart. I am just going to wait for cyberpunk, and Neverlord to come out.
winny257 Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 when the people, that what Bethesda is doing now, to put up with it and further buy their crappy games. then Beth becomes always do so on, they go by no means a step back. Bethesda has licked blood and as long as there are many people the their games Buy, Todd Howard can sit back in the armchair! Spoiler
slave4666 Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 well to start off with, i love all the creators here at LL and nexus. you all do great work, and spend alot of time making us great mods. But i have major issues. when i heard fallout 76 was comeing out and only available on steam with xbox players and maybe playstation players that play the game game useing there computer were resticted to to the creator wed site. Bethesda.. at first i was a little upset. but thought. thats great. with my past expeiance with steam. even though i bought skyrim fallout new vegas, and fallout 4 at walmart and have hard disk. but play on stream. since box says you must have a steam acount. Dont get me wrong, i have no beef with stream. i have other games from them. just seems even with loading OUR GAMES. even following your directive of how to install game. and useing nexus mod mangement. seem kind of funny to me. i can add our mods in a vinilla setting and all works well even with nexus. but once you add adult context things get screwy. even following listed detail of how to install. works wonders off line. but once you go online. shit hits the fan. theres no updates for mod you installed. once you looked over our site for notices, and used the mod mangement to check for updates.. still steam thows a shitfit over OUR MODS. now dont get me wrong, im a computer player hardcore.... but hearing the word. fallout 76 only on steam but not us. your limeting your true base. and stream though everyome loves it. hell i do my self to a point. But seem like steam and Bethesda. even though its created as modable expessionall though a royal shit fit when modders with Bethesda permission to mod there game. how ever you like. regular or as our group does make it more enjoyable adult... seems steam hates it and Bethesda. though the game is moddable why i stated im happy to see this. make fallout 76 only for steam players.... then marked make 76 only acessable to there web site. leaves our dedicated mod creator to us. since stream from day one i believe hated us, able to mod game to our likeing and enjoyment... not going under what steam wanted vanilla mods. and Bethesda with there wanting there game played ONLY IN A VILLAINA So i clap my hands to Bethesda make as you put it us pc users only download from your site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ernest Lemmingway Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 Bugthesda should be careful about alienating its fans. The video game industry is one of the most volatile and fortunes can change quickly. And with online games there's a lot that can go horribly wrong. Online survival games also don't appeal to the core fan base that has supported them for years now. Why are they doing this? And why are they stubbornly refusing to even consider making the minor changes that folks are all over them about? I'm inclined to think one of two things. Either they've grown so arrogant that they think they can tell us what we want, or they can't afford to make the changes fans want.

Regardless, worship the Todd, peasants ? https://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-4-mod-lets-you-worship-statues-of-todd-howard/

I played the first Metro that came my opinion of it is not very good, in my opinion that story was really shaky. I just never got into it as much as others. Ill keep an eye on it for sure but I wont be to hyped till I see some play through. thanks for the recommend though.

I essentially liked to play it, that only thing that bothered me, was the linear gameplay, no freedom of movement. but in Metro Exodus it's different, an open, free world.

Interesting, close to Fallout, but not quite there with character customisation and NPC interaction and no mod kit either I guess.
Midnight19 Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 i hope Bethesda Loses at least 100 million dollars on fallout 76,
arpaschad Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 Next up coming ONLY through creation crap: The Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 5 and every future games and mods... Control how people get their games, control paid mods, control profits, control their consumers... You shouldn't be surprised by now...ever since Beth announced Creation Crap... This will happen...and it already is happening...

I mean, I'd rather see the franchise dead and closed than grossly defiled even further. Look at what happened with Mass Effect. The franchise is dead, just like it would be if they had stopped at ME3 (maybe even more), but we also had to go through that abomination called Andromeda that was the last nail on the coffin. Wouldn't want the same to happen to ES or Fallout. But that's just me.

Nah, not dead yet as long as Casey Hudson is still in Bioware...but it might take a while before the next ME arrives. Command & Conquer though... EA killed it with C&C 4 an then defiled its corpse with C&C Rivals...A. FUCKING. MOBILE. GAME. ?

Doubt it though. Between Quake, Dishonored, Wolfenstien, and ESOs rolling out expansions and keeping people interested and the apparent agreements with MS and Sony? They're probably financially set for quite a while. On top of the absolute oodles of fucking cash they made with Skyrim(and it's 3 releases), they'd have to be using 10kg/day and $70k/hookers every night for the entire staff to blow through it that quickly. The most conservative estimate across their entire title stream, hardware R&D and buyouts probably puts them over the $3B in assets. If you start hearing rumors like what happened with Bioware about 2yrs before they were bought out by EA. Those rumors of the CEO, heads of the divisions and dept's not showing up to work, letting things slag off, and not keeping an eye on teams? Yeah. Not hearing that through anyone I know.

Where? ? Fallout 76 = where NPCs = where Mods, these are dreams like soap bubbles, which burst very quickly. furthermore, crappy graphics, crappy animations, interactions, my guess, after release *not playable by hundreds of bugs*! So, never compare Metro Exodus with Fallout 76, even Metro 2033 was significantly better than any fallout game.
