I’m honestly baffled as to why people have had any faith in Bethesda Game Studios for years. Even if you liked Fallout 3 or 4, what they did with 76 should’ve obliterated any remaining trust.

  • Fallout 3 releases and it's good
  • Fallout New Vegas releases and it's great
  • Fallout 4 releases and it's disappointing but it's okay because it's just a blip. They had some good new ideas in there, they were just balanced out in the other direction by a lot of bad ones. Bethesda's track record is still solid, if somewhat tarnished.
  • Fallout 76 releases and it's disappointing but that's because they've never made (and shouldn't have made) an MMO before. A lot of the coverage is centred around the shoddy launch, which doesn't really matter for a non-MMO title.

Fallout 3 was garbage compared to Fallout 1 and 2

Only as far as storyline and setting go. Other than that, it was an okay shooter.

Yeah... but storyline and setting is what made Fallout so great.

But at the same time, most of the people who played Fallout 3 never played 1 or 2. By the standards of the time, and for what the game presented itself as, it was pretty cool.

That's why I said "compared to 1 and 2". 🙄
