Hard to compete with Netflix and HBO.
I actually play a fair bit of Fallout 76 as my co-hosts and I were doing a Let's Play series. It is just.. so vapid, empty and boring.. The vast vast majority of content is just recycled randomized RNG rather than anything of substance. I still haven't played Nuclear Winter because every time i've tried to play it, I gave up on waiting after an hour. Literally every update that drops breaks a whole bunch of stuff that never even gets mentioned. Like the third last update put my base halfway into the ground and I couldn't get into it. Certain areas never ended up rendering and you'd be killed by invisible enemies or just fall through the ground.. but I think the worst thing is Bethesda's general attitude. I thought it would be hard to top Blizzard's recent bullshit but honestly, how many times in succession can a developer directly fuck over their demographic and have a demographic left to fuck over. The failed launch, the canvas bags, the shitty 500 atoms to make up for the bags, the bags being eventually delivered but late, customers being mass doxxed trying to get their bags, the failed nuka rum, the mouldy nuka world power armor helmet controversy, them going back on their grandstanding about the "line" or morality when it comes to microtransactions, the paid subscription debacle, the private servers not actually being private servers but instances where players have left the world empty, the unlimited scrap box actually deleting all your scrap.. and that's just off the top of my head. Just a constant stream of negative PR and yeah, I kinda don't give a shit about TES6 now. I'll still do another 3 or so eps of Fallout 76 but I have only played it as it was fun to play with friends. FYI half the episodes are just bitching about Bethesda and pointing out broken retarded shit.
I did also grab that $1 game pass. I'll be starting Outer Worlds tonight. Just had work, did some Halloween episodes and some Festival of the Lost shit in Derpstiny
