DONT pre-order Fallout 76 until you see this
« on: October 31, 2018, 11:22:51 am »
I'm not a Fallout gamer, but I know many of you are. I came across this video from a respected YouTube game reviewer, and I recommend you listen to what he found whilst playing the Beta, particularly if you are a PC gamer, but console as well.

Watching this may save you money and disappointment.

Mine was deleted yesterday due to a bug. Can't be bothered with it now.

I found this guys opinion to be garbage to be honest, as he was focus on the pc mug race user & rarley mentions console.

He is an idiot for calling anyone/gamers who pre-order games a fool, as gamers we have the right to buy what we want with our money.

I stop watching the after 5 minutes.

I've had a good experince playing the fallout 76 beta, sure there was some frame drops, but that is excpected becuase it's a beta.

I agree. Would rather make up my own mind. What little I've played on the beta I've enjoyed. Will check out your YouTube clips for further info.

He was talking from a PC gamer's perspective because that's what he plays the game on  ::)

He didn't say you didn't have a right to pre-order the game, he said you're a fool to pay up front (pre-order) for a game that is in the state he experienced playing on PC.



I've had a good experince playing the fallout 76 beta, sure there was some frame drops, but that is excpected becuase it's a beta.
He reported and showed a lot more issues that frame rate drops, but you probably don't know that coz you stopped watching after 5 minutes.


I personally am in no mood to hand over money in pre-orders after being burned by promises and hype on past games, but that does't mean you have to feel the same way.

Others might find this video informative, particularly if they play on PC

I cancelled my pre order after I registered the beta code as too many big games right now. I never rule anything out though.

This is the only game I’ve pre ordered for a while! Not my usual thing but I do love the Fallout series.
As said, I’ll make my own mind up.
I’m not a pc player so why am I here?
