completely agree, fallout 76 was a disaster. and it's wild how well they got away with the whole preorder crap before reviews came out and trashed the game

Totally agree. Bethesda really dropped the ball big time on that one. Charging full price for a buggy, unfinished game is just unacceptable.

totally agree, and it's even worse when u think about how they could've spent that time and money polishing a real fallout game instead of that microtransaction-filled cash grab

nah, fallout 76 is a masterpiece. its a open world experience and the bugs just add to the charm. you clearly just don't understand the genius of todd howard.

im going to take a wild guess and say you played the game without reading reviews first. add to that the demographic of people playing it is probably bethesda's target audience. moving on

you got that right, fallout 76 was a total disaster. i was so hyped for it and then it was just bug after bug after bug. not to mention all the scummy business practices from bethesda, really left a bad taste in my mouth.
