Small tidbit of info: In fallout 4: far harbor, they added a lever action rifle. This rifle had a reload bug, in which, no matter how many bullets you shot, it would reload a full magazine worth regardless. This never got fixed. Fast forward to 2018, the lever action rifle returns in fallout 76, and it has the SAME exact reloading bug. I know we use the term copy-paste loosely here, but..

They refuse to acknowledge ANY of the flaws that you point out, and insult those that make such arguments as people who don't know anything about the game (for in their eyes, if you bothered to try the game, you'd absolutely love it).

That Morrowind footage brought back beautiful memories of a Bethesda I once loved

I feel like Bethesda should just fire all their staff then: 1) re-hire the writers from Morrowind, along with the better and more involved writers who've worked with them. (maybe Amy Hennig too) 2) Hire the folks who are making the best mods for Oblivion and Skyrim as new mission designers, coders and scripters (Skywind, Skyblivion, Morrowblivion, the other expansion sized mods). 3) Hire the folks who have been doing the "Unofficial Elder Scrolls Patch" and improved UI series of mods.

The problem with Bethesda is that they refuse to sit down, pause production and give the creation engine an overhaul. I don't mean bolting new lighting matrix's or crap like that. I mean sitting down, taking the engine back to base code and fixing/updating it. They had the perfect chance to after Skyrim; sure it would have delayed FO4 but it would have been VERY much worth it.

I mean fuck, from the lobotomised direction of 4 I really don't understand what anyone was expecting. Sure, this game is a spectacular mess on a technical level, but the biggest problem people are talking about is how gameplay and features have been arbitrarily removed to casualize the gameplay to appeal to everyone. I'm sitting here like, "ugh yeah, you guys literally sucked 4's cock relentlessly for doing the exact same thing, then called me a blind fan boy who can't look past nostalgia for criticizing it".

@@laughsquad007 Oh yeah i mean trust me, as a fallout fan myself i agree if you were into fallout games for the story FO4 was shit. But if you were just playing casually, it wasn't that bad. HHowever the objections to fallout76 aren't subjective, they are objective. The engine IS bad, thats undeniable. The gameplay IS unoptimized, thats undeniable. The carry weight IS way too low, thats arguable, but pretty much undeniable. There is plenty of solid reasons fallout76 is trash, and there is with every game, but more with 76 than any other game i've seen save maybe battlefront 2. But fallout4 at least was fun for casual players, and its not like they have deleted the other games lf the series, and all those games stil have a cult following of modders. The issue you and other "real fallout fans" NEED TO COME TO TERMS WITH is that put simply we are a dying breed. More people who play video games nowadays never played new vegas, or fo3, or any of those classic fallouts. For many people, if not most interested in FO76 FO4 IS fallout to them. So put simply, you can't use the excuse "not a game for real fallout fans" because what makes any game less "real" than others?

This review aged so well... Even more so, after Starfield's release

As software developer, I feel bad for the programmers at Bethesda Austin. They will definitely be on the receiving end of a bunch of hate but given that they were given a timeline that was worse than New Vegas to build this game and to add network support to this engine I don't feel they deserve it. Adding network support to an single player engine is not a simple task. I've also heard rumors that they lost some of their more experienced developers early in the project, if true that's brutal. Netcode and refactoring a entangled single player engine into a client server model is one of the hardest things to do in game programming. SquareEnix had to try twice to get it right for FF14 and still there are issues that crop up because of it from time to time and they had years to do it and a ton of money and resources and experience. Bethesda Austin had none of those things. All that said, I have little sympathy for the high level management who decided to go forward with the play despite how under-cooked and unrealistic the situation was.

To be honest, at this point I expect Elder Scrolls 6 to go like this: You wake up locked in a dungeon... You need to escape. There is uproar nearby. your cell door gets damaged in a huge magical explosion. You walk out. As you escape the falling debree a woman catches you by the arm. "Come with me!" she says "There is much we need to discuss". You follow her into her lair. On the darkest dungeon there is a fountain there. The surface of the fountain is clear but it doesn't seem to be reflecting its surroundings. You have a hard time seeing what is being shown to you. "Move closer" she says, "your destiny will be revealed!". As you start approaching the fountain you can see some details... Tall mountains... Pine trees. Lots of people talking in what appears to be a horse cart. As you touch the surface of the water, you are pulled inside of the Fountain! You wake up. You are in a Cart hands tied up. Some asks you what did they get you for as you are taken to a city to be executed. The captions appear "Elder Scrolls 6... It's actually Skyrim again suckers!!"

Their idea of difficulty is to create bullet sponge enemies. The only difference between a level 1 and level 70 enemy is the amount of ammo you need. There's no variety to enemies either in AI terms or behaviour - they all just crowd around you and melee, the only diference between a Mirelurk and a Scorched is the name and the model. Given the poor gunplay and targetting mechanics coupled with broken VATS, with the hassle of repairing, maintaining guns and ammo even the highest level players have all but given up on ranged weapons and use melee.

I've been enjoying a lot of your videos as of late. I'm a AAA developer, and one misconception that I heard you say that I also catch from a lot of others not in the know, is that older engines should perform better because their age means they've had time to be optimized. However, I can tell you from direct experience, that that is often not the case. As new features are added to modernize an old engine, the older architecture struggles with some of the features you mentioned (widescreen support, newer visual effects, physics, etc) and overall this results in a worse performance overall. The engine that my team is using is also twenty years old, at its core. Yes, its been updated and modified, but bugs from 2001 are still popping up, even after they've been "fixed" dozens and dozens of times.

Heres the thing about bethesda games, The company doesn't realize that the only reason their games are successful, is because you can mod them and fix the broken shit, that is in the base game of any game they have ever made. Modders are the real reason any of bethesda's games have ever been successful, that and they depend on a nostalgia factor that they are solely responsible for destroying for the majority of people. Bethesda themselves are incapable (beyond releasing any game), of fixing/maintaining a game or online service. They have shown this time and time again, and the people who fell for it are the sheep and cattle who would follow them to their grave.

For Fallout 4 in particular the sheer amount of choice in building stuff with and without mods is insane. A single mod can open the entire world when it comes to building bases. I had a mod that allowed me to make synth settlers of any type I'd like (I basically had the synth machine from the institute as a buildable thing) and it allowed me to literally create institution bases, brotherhood bases and the like as I pleased. It gave me access to any and all base components in the game (every faction, every npc city, etc. I had the components).

@The reality you fear a beta will always be identical to the finished product theyre not trying to make a whole new game from beta to freaking release.

The worst part is that they're actually capable of producing games that are relatively bug free and perform well. Like Elder Scrolls Online. Now I know you might say that "ESO is Zenimax" but guys... Bethesda *is* Zenimax. They are everything Zenimax. So it's not even that they can't fix the bugs, or don't have the ability to. They just won't. They consciously refuse.

Wrong, it's *Zenimax Online* a completely autonomous studio. Bethesda is a studio under Bethesda Softworks (the publisher) and Zenimax Online is another studio under BethSoft. All of these companies are under the parent company Zenimax (not Zenimax Online) which are a distributor.

Tony Stark That is the argument I tell people who always bitch about “greedy rockstar”. 60 bucks for the single player (which is worth the price tag) and a free online (with microtransactions but that’s part of the business I guess) there are games who make you pay 60$ and then offer you ways to pay to win... That I genuinely hate. At least rockstar offers us a free online with free updates. The only downside is the microtransactions and the pay to win stuff but we can’t have anything entirely for free or else they go bankrupt.. If they balance the economy, add much more content and find a way to deal with griefers, Red Dead Online will be an awesome on line game. God of War is perfect the way it is. If they launched an Online thing to that game, it would Ruin it entirely in my opinion. Some games are just meant to be single player masterpieces. And that, God of War achieved. Let’s keep it that way. It is my 2nd favorite game of 2018 just before RDR2. But they both are the jewels of 2018 games for sure

"Gamers" like you, excusing early access, is what caused this entire problem in the first place. Its never acceptable. Its the same exact thing that happened with microtransactions. People praised Overwatch for scamming players with lootboxes, because they were cosmetic only. That doesn't make it any less of a scam, and never should have been accepted in the first place. Now, lootboxes are illegal in multiple countries, hopefully here soon too. Then, maybe early access - selling an intentionally broken product, can be illegal too.

Early Access isn't made for buggy content. It's just to show a fraction of what the game can offer in full release / a showcase to get funds with a good concept. It's NOT an excuse for buggy content. Of course some bugs are expected. But the lack of serious of many EA (sic) games made the public thinks that. Early Access isn't a term for itself. Pre-Alpha Early Access, Beta EA, Early Access for a finished game but it's "a 3 day before release" access.
