Fallout 76 General Thread - Bethesda does it again!

[Sinner's Sandwich]

how do you manage to fuck a game up THIS badly?

By spending money on promotion and not the game.

This is... I'm just absolutely baffled. This has got to be hands-down the worst video game launch of the 21st century. I'd say the worst game launch of all time if ET didn't almost destroy the whole industry.

This whole launch is like a fucking art piece painted entirely with liquid shit.

Frankly anyone that ever gave Bethesda money post Oblivion deserves this.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Okay, at this point I'm starting to think they're doing this shit on purpose.

This is becoming the most hilarious news story I've followed all year. It just keeps getting worse. I didn't give a shit when it was announced; I thought it would be kinda lame and bland. I never anticipated the game to be this fundamentally fucked from a PR standpoint. It's Murphy's Law in action, and I'm loving the fireworks.

Inb4 Todd Howard dresses up as a clown and gets stuck in a ventilation system.

Tbh I don't really get into Fallout games but I'm at the edge of my seat watching this disaster unfold. Someone should make a game about this whole ordeal called "Epic fuck-up simulator."

Kotaku is bringing us news we want to read so why deny them clicks?

Game is based on community content so they're outsourcing customer service to the community

Bethesda has been coasting for so long it's obvious they weren't prepared to handle something blowing up in their faces this bad. I was pretty disappointed by Fallout 4 despite the mounting warning signs over the years and didn't get invested in 76 at all so I all can do is watch with detached amusement as Bethesda sets themselves on fire trying to put it out.

It really just keeps getting worse.

If you give your money to Bethesda you're a lolcow, you brought this upon yourself.
Bethesda is so dedicated to the idea of letting the community fix their problems for them they're letting users run the support system

‘You wanna fix our game?!’
‘Here gamers, shove it!’

 

[Orkeosaurus]

tbh anyone who buys a game solely for plastic crap deserves to get their shit leaked.

Fallout 76 can't go for five seconds before humiliating itself.

This is what 4D chess looks like, take notes gamers.

Even Konami is better than Bethesda at this point

Oh, you should have seen the SWTOR threads on /v/ back in the day. It was glorious. For weeks, you would not even go a couple of hours before something new and amazing happened.
