How Fallout 76 Aims To Stop People From Being Jerks

Sounds like this game will be a lot of fun. People can cry all they want that it's online only (even though they said you can play solo and basically everything else they have is connected to the internet at this point), but I'm really interested to see where this game goes. Looting the wasteland with a crew sound right up my alley.

Sounds like a big improvement over Fallout 4. I'm sure Bethesda also learned from ESO, as that has turned into a worthwhile game.

It's nice that Bethesda is trying to keep the trolling down to a minimum. They're thinking about that unlike some devs and their games..**cough R* cough GTA 5 cough cough**. But what are they going to do with the HACKERS. We all know that within a month of it's release it could potentially infested with them nuking everyone non-stop. I doubt they have a system in place to fight them yet and they're going to be overwhelmed. This situation reminds of Rockstar and GTA 4 in 2008 where you have a big studio doing it's first big MP component and they're not prepared for all the things that could go wrong. I am excited for this game. I do want to play it but I'm holding off to hear reviews.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting this one.

Because I was the same way guys are about Fallout 76. With fallout shelter when it was first announced.

I was like, "No one will play some crappy Fallout mobile game." I tried it for a little. And it needed up being the only way to pass the time at work, on my breaks. Up until I stopped playing it. because my crappity crap phone couldn't handle a 2/3 finished vault. Or, the game in general. And, I used to hate phone games with a passion before I started playing.

So, I doubt this game could be as bad as what you guys are making it be.

Also as a player who usually accumulates fifteen hundred metric tons of crap in Fallout (figuratively & literally). I actually wouldn't mean having a chance to lose all my stuff in the game. Considering it will give me a chance to find more.

To all the people crying about all the people crying. Here's a tissue. Fallout should remain single player. Anything else is immersion-breaking.

Have to admit I was disappointed when I heard multi-player. Yawn. However, given it's Bethesda, I'll reserve my opinion until I see it. Supposedly you can play solo. Hope so. Last thing I want in a Fallout universe is some 10 year olds running around breaking the immersion.

I think most people don´t get that this is not the end for the traditional Fallout saga. There will be a Fallout 5 as it will be an Elder Scrolls 6, both off-line. Fallout 76 is just another IP like Elder Scrolls on-line.

I don't understand the crying here. Personally, Fallout creates such an amazing world that I'd enjoy exploring it with friends. But for those who don't....then don't play this game. It's that simple.

I would love to play, tho I have not played any other fallout. But when he says 'there will be dozens, not hundreds of thousands of people' that just completely ruined it for me.

It really only sounds like you group up, kill a few things, build some structures, fight with the neighbors, nuke them, have a boss destroy your village, rinse and repeat.

This is such a bad idea... Multiplayer has it's place, and Fallout isn't one of them... Bring back the single-player-only game that made Fallout great, before you ruin a top-notch franchise...

I have played 100s or possibly thousands of online games of different category. Start with team based pvp like team fortress 2/S.W.A.T 4 to just plain co-op games and i have find out that when you are multiplayer you are not playing a game for immersion but just for fun.

Going online in fallout is going to be an extremely different experience, it won't be a standard action RPG. People will always find loopholes to grief players, trust me. I have been in every situation. A little example of this is a PVE only server, i have seen people to trigger environment hazards deliberately to kill whole party when server don't allow simply shooting them in the face (example shooting a huge fuel tank and triggering explosion to kill other people near it). Aggroing lots of mobs knowing party won't be able to handle and wiping everyone.

When you go online you need to expect these kind of things to happen. I say multiplayer is a totally different experience, bad or good that's a different topic. Bottomline is that this game will be nothing like a fallout game, the only similarity is that it will play in a post-apocalyptic world like a fallout game and similarities between the two end there.

It has also been confirmed that private servers and mods will be available, just not at launch. Private server equals completely solo or with close friends so I can't understand the tears here.

There really are an impressive array of whiners here. Maybe wait to see the game when its finished and if it doesn't suit you, play something else. Its only been 2 years since F4, it is a great single player game, you can play it offline and survival mode is excellent, I am personally still playing it. As a huge Fallout and Bethesda Game Studios fan (and a single player game fan) I am still looking forward to what they do with the game, multiplayer co-op is absolutely fine and will work better than many here expect.

Hopefully you are able to tea bag in power armor.

Always online? Gotta' record all those usage metrics!

So its Ark without the dinosaurs or losing your stuff. Why are you people complaining? If you want a single player experience, play FO4, it's still there. No ones forcing you to play this game. I hope it's better than the Holy Balls of Christ, because I happen to WANT to play in the Fallout universe with my friends.

Now they are going to ruin fallout.

I don't want to meet other people. I don't want to interact with them. I don't want to see them.

What I want is to play my own game in peace. PVP must be optional.

Its all about the revenue stream and online gaming is the way to keep the revenue flowing. Single player games are slowly going away. Its sad.
