Its not trolling to call a spade a spade
Fallout 76 is an amazing game now though; became that way less than a year after release IMO.
Which sucks.. it's a failure to release something worthwhile... and should be criticized.
But the game is available for super cheap and fucking rocks.. so much more fun than stuff like Destiny to me.
Hopefully MS encourages Bethesda to keep their games in the oven a bit longer and expand testing.. but in the end, their games are really complex with all of the branching and state management they do. Fallout 4 for instance is a living world of tons of things being simulated constantly, and you can have over a dozen bases built in the game... and tons of variety of who you maybe killed or not, people moving around, etc. Makes something like GTA V from a simulation standpoint look like pong, as all they simulate is basically what is on screen or slightly off screen.. as do many open world games (all of the Sony ones for instance.)
I don't think they get enough credit.. their newer games actually look pretty damn good too w/o mods.
But yes, Todd Howard produced a failure to launch well game for sure. But even that game turned out amazing.
