But you better hope you don’t have a download cap on your broadband because after that the day one patch was 54 GB. This is a 46 GB game file that would then need to be re-downloaded. This “beta” experienced the strangest bug I’ve heard of in a long time, with the game randomly uninstalling when closed. It was just a ploy to drive pre-orders, and that’s a classic red flag. They changed almost nothing afterwards, and didn’t even wipe progress when it ended. The beta was little more than early access. The release itself got off to a bad start. And it was here, right as the game released, that the controversies begun. I reviewed 76 overwhelmingly negatively when it released, and I still feel like I went easy on it. Top it off with a cash shop which would happily sell you assets ripped straight from Fallout 4 and you have a game emblematic of what’s wrong with triple A gaming made all the bitterer for coming from Bethesda, thought to be one of the last bastions of consumer friendly single player games. There was no story to speak of, a dull and repetitive grind and the much lauded player interactions were so poorly implemented it showed just how poorly thought out the multiplayer aspects were. So firstly, the game releases and it’s a hollow shell of a Fallout game, stripped of much of its identity and rushed out the door in an unfinished state just to make a quick buck. For those unaware of just how badly Bethesda has screwed the pooch, let me take you through the troubled lifetime of Fallout 76. Fallout 76 could have just been another shoddy game sent out to die, but due to a continuous string of baffling decisions and mistakes it has managed to tarnish Bethesda’s reputation, possibly irreversibly.
