Fallout 76 is an odd one. I don’t think any Fallout fan suspected this would be the next step from Bethesda. As I mentioned in today’s episode, I also don’t quite know who they were aiming for with this game. The verdict is practically out from most core fans as to what they think of it. Meanwhile, the audience that enjoys survival games – such as Rust – and who might want that PvP aspect won’t exactly be getting that here with how PvP is being handled. At least not right away.
So, it still leaves me wondering who this game is for. Maybe in time, it’ll build an audience for itself. Hell, I’d love to see Bethesda pull a Hello Games and defy expectations for Fallout 76 in the long run. As of right now, though, when the game wasn’t hard crashing to the home screen, or kicking one of us to the menu, it’s been average at best in almost every category.
