    I pretty much just play to relax or chill with some buddies while we work on accomplishing our tasks for the time we play and do whatever events that pop up.
    Some like to work on building their camps and we all check it out and appreciate their creativity. Some like to try their hand at getting resources to eventually roll that awesome legendary piece of weapon or armor. Some just like going around and helping others that are new to the game. Some do a lot of trading and thrive in that economy. Some just want to hoard resources and items.
    There's lots of different things people gravitate towards in their gameplay loop. There's nothing quite like the flavor Fallout 76 in an online capacity.

      I think my biggest regret about this video is going to be that I can’t experience what every player likes to do with their time in Fallout 76, it’s been great to hear from so many people about their experiences and how they’ve managed to make their own fun in the game. Think this is a really important point/comment and wanted to thank you for contributing to the discussion today :)

    Ngl ever since I bought this game what like 1-2 months ago I can't see myself ever replaying the previous games again in the near future, even after completing this game's main story.
    There's just something to this game that ticklea my brain just in the right way as dis new vegas and especially 4 way back when. New vegas in the sheer amount of weapons to offer and 4 with the new weapon modding system. Yep, never really been a story kinda guy myself, perhaps thats why I enjoyed 4 more than 3 and nv despite the screeches coming from the depths of reddit saying nv is the best in the modern series, and 76 is just 4 but more so I like it even better.

    I started playing 76 somewhere around late December or early January and I am nearly level 300 now. I've made a couple of really good friends and have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game outside of all of the bugs and crashes that you get on a last gen system. The game has a lot of problems and has a serious lack of end game content, but it hasn't necessarily stopped me from enjoying my time with it. There are many things that I would change or Implement to make the game overall better, but I am still enjoying my time with it and have so much content yet to do.

    • @TheLaziestWriter
      @TheLaziestWriter  7 месяцев назад

      @@TheLaziestWriter what I particularly like about the game is the vast quantity of things to do and the fun that can be had while playing with other people. I love the actual gameplay, the guns, the grind for legendary gear Etc. Things that I would like to see changed are the seemingly arbitrary limits on resources like caps and legendary scrip. What I would really like to see implemented is challenging and meaningful end game content. Above all else though I would really like to see some of the long time bugs finally eliminated like being frozen in place when trying to get in power armor.

      @@TheLaziestWriter for me it's definitely the stories hidden in texts, and holotapes and locations that felt like they have their own history, for example: Vault-Tec university had their own test Vault where students got stuck when the bombs dropped. Vault 51 had their own super computer which made the dwellers turn on each other more and more.
      The riverside manor had the actress who played the Mistress of Mystery, who later made her own Order of Mysteries.
      There's a ton of stories but not everyone is willing to read or listen through them.

    I got talked into giving it a go a while , by a mate who said I should, if only for the lore. Took me a lot longer than any of the other FO games to get my head around, but once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Stopped playing after around 400 hours when I could only see daily grind ahead to max out legendary perks etc just over a year ago, but downloaded again this week. It's nowhere near as bad as it's rep would suggest.

      The easy difficulty of fallout 4 is why I refuse to play it on vanilla, sure the early game is tough but once you hit the level 25-30 range and have gained quite a few perks, settlements and gear the difficulty drops significantly and I very rarely find myself in bad situations, mods are the only reason I don't just breeze through the game.

    I got the game back in late 2022 or early 2023. It already had the Wastelanders update but still felt very lonely compared to the other games. Tried to play or join other players a few times but I didn't like it and went solo ever since then. It was a bittersweet experience. I had a huge new map to explore but every time I felt like most of the missions were designed to be played by well, multiple players not by just one loner like me. This is what got me to stop playing the game and left without completing it. From time to time I think about going back and finish it but right now I decided to play Fallout 4 again and try all the DLCs that never got to play before.

    Thanks for the review. Lots of good points-ESPECIALLY companions!
    If you are not into collecting things, exploring, or building CAMPs, you will eventually lose interest, but likely after getting your money’s worth. It seems from this review that you were mostly concerned with the story, quests, dailies, etc. That is what I would typically focus on when playing a game, but that is just farming (which is always boring) and 76 is not at all typical.

    • @TheLaziestWriter
      @TheLaziestWriter  7 месяцев назад

      That’s a good point, not every game should be viewed through the same lens and I’m probably guilty of trying to fit it into my format a little. To be honest though, I think I’m just more oriented towards noticing those things in how I play games in general, and I did try to cover everything that stood out to me. Out of interest, how much of the game have you played? Is it still interesting you? :)

    The dailys that you got mad at, do has stuff of value but it's rare chance 0.01% drop chance, the most sought after being tattered field jacket which you get from mire events and dailys can you get anything you want, But that's thru player trade. Also there is random encounters of people fighting being responders vs ghouls or raiders fighting responders vice versa among other encounters like pipe is life.

    I’m trying to get a lot of my coworkers to get into the game so we can play together but they’re still listening to the reviews and I could hear one of my other coworkers. Have you ever played it before what’s it like dude listen to me. I’m telling you don’t listen to somebody that has played it. It’s an awesome game get it. It’s free. It’s on Game Pass do it

    I’ll hear you out I played it day one and was so fucking disappointed but I’m revisiting the series as a fan who’s gotten pretty far in all of them but haven’t finished any aside from one and two (which are great if anyone hasn’t played them)
