The Next Expansion for Fallout 76 Is Coming in September to PS4, and Season 9 is Now Live

Fallout76 expansion = LoLLL

@PlatinumPlaystation yeah, I kinda feel since Bethesdas next games are Xbox only they’re trying to milk $ from PS users as long as they can.

Bethesda: fans want to get New Vegas 2 and remakes the first two installments.
Fans: Yeah, guys, we want.
Bethesda: it’s time released the new expansion to Fallout 76. It’s a perfect idea!
Fans: oh, ***** *angry

The fact that there are people supporting this game is sad.

I can't be the only one that got the LOST reference in that subheading.

Is this game actually worth playing now as mostly single player story driven experience?

How is this steaming pile of dog turd still going? Even Konami gave up with Metal Gear Survive.

@ChrisDeku For sure. While some of the grindier seasonal content can be easily forgotten there's plenty of genuinely great story content that's worth a go. There's been like 5 questline additions now.

I've only played single player during my many hours with it. Wouldn't have recommended going near it for the first year or so, but after the reintroduction of NPCs it got it's Bethesda magic back.

I can't believe people are still trying to slag this game off as if it's the same game that launched. It had no NPCs apart from some robots who were part of a mundane Easter egg hunt questline, graphical bugs everywhere and completely game-breaking bugs at every turn. If what they've done is "polish a turd" then they've also fitted the entirety of the bathroom around it as well.

The last time I played was a couple updates after the Wastelanders and I was genuinely surprises by the amount of Bethesda Fallout-style questing to do on my own. Spent approx. 300 hours with 76 and I'd recommend it to anyone who's curious or especially to those who are fans of Fallout lore. The biggest put off for me was the fact that the game can't pause in the pip boy menu, which isn't exactly a game breaker. Shame they haven't released a 60fps patch though.

The internet just loves to bandwagon in force I bet people criticising it to the nth degree haven't even played it since release, if at all!

@Gloamin You can only make one first impression so its up to Bethesda to make that a good. Its not the bandwagon its just right also tons of crunch in the gamedevelopment.

Im not waiting years to play a game untill its good thats also on Bethesda. You want nonsense Spiderman puddlegate.

Guildwars on PC played it from day one several years played more 1000 hours it got expansions every time and it ran out of the box on day perfectly without a subscription.

@Flaming_Kaiser I'm talking about the quality of the in-game experience. Which is what others are talking about.

Points about crunch id agree with but you'd be foregoing a LOT of games if you hold a stoic moral standard on that 😂 but that's not a standard I'd criticise.

As for first impressions, more fool you if that's something you hang onto in life - but that's just my opinion.

I had some fun with 76, especially after Wastelanders. I've been meaning to try and finish the Platinum for the game but a couple of tge trophies I need are kill other players and revive other players, which are annoying to get without friends.

I've been waiting for The Pitt - it was my favorite DLC from Fallout 3 - so maybe this is the time to go back.

I love fallout but 76 isn’t even fallout to me. It’s just garbage

@elvisfan1 don’t tell me what I can’t do!

Think I'll download this on Game Pass because, well, why not?

I'm one of those people turned off too badly by first impression. I paid full price at launch, played about an hour on launch night and it was so bad I've never launched it again. I know people tell me it's popular now, it's better now, and it's a real game now. But that was such a terrible experience that I just haven't touched it at all.

Bethesda's version of Fallout never worked for me as a fan of the dark comedy originals (torch carried by Outer Worlds.) But 76 at least at launch went so stone-cold serious/survival/horror I didn't even recognize the brand.

@ChrisDeku I would say you're better off playing 4 (or 3 or NV) if you're looking for a story driven experience. While the story is better now than when it first released, it's definitely the weakest of any Bethesda Fallout. Plus since it's a live service game, you can actually approach the story with a new character in a jumbled out of order mess (i.e. they still have the story quests where there are no NPC, while a ton of NPC's are walking around you, which you can do at the same time as the NPC's have returned quests). You'd probably appreciate the story more had you been playing since the beginning which would've forced things to be in an order and presented in a way that makes sense.

@Nepp67 I also consider cosmetic DLC as unnecessary for not affecting the game, but so many games have them there must be people out there who enjoy and buy them. It's pretty rude of you to call those people sad though.

All I wish is fallout 4 60fps patch.

@Gloamin Watch the last Jimquisition and tell why its a few companies that always get named when its about abuse.

@Flaming_Kaiser not at all a fan of the channel but yeah I agree with the sentiment 👍 this is still an issue across every industry to this day and it's sad to see. Ridiculous that companies implement crunch when it's an extremely disingenuous thing to do when it comes to productivity and results. Hopefully stuff has improved now but will no doubt happen again.

I bought FO76 for $9.99 when it was a giant dumpster fire. Now it's less of that but more like just a flaming bag of poo.
I've DL'd some updates and I still find it annoying and irritating to play. It's not Fallout to me. It looks like a "reasonable facsimile thereof", but that's about it.
Makes me wonder if Starfield will be more FO4 or more FO76. I can get it for my PC when it comes out, but I'm not really interested. I think FO76 simply turned me off of future Bethesda games. That's quite a legacy.
