Fallout 76 is actually a good game.

No, I am serious, ask me again outside of this thread.

The fact that you are serious is much more triggering than the statement. In therms of survival-craft is vastly inferior to 7d2d(which has guns that looks like guns instead of toys) and the rpg elements are non existent. Not mentioning dialog wheels.

FL76 is worse than FL4 and I refunded FL4 after realizing how shitty it was.

pc gaming is about PRETENDING to play 30 yo games

LOL. a lot of guys pretend to play but I posted a lot of DOS games in screenshot thread. The last AAA game that I bought in day one was Battlefield 1. And I`m trying to make a 3do emulator work on my Debian only to play AD&D slayer. TBH when I joined Codex, with D&D, I was only interested in high to epic level 3.5e stuff. Playing AD&D adaptations from 90s made me appreciate mid level D&D much more(still don`t like low level, but loved Ravenloft Strahd possession + Stone prophet + Menzoberranzan)

So many people say that people only like it by nostalgia but I played this games with zero nostalgia in mind and loved them all. Except Spelljammer : Pirates of the realmspace. Not because the game is bad but because is too buggy to be enjoyed

Exactly.

People call this thread "Trigger Codex with a statement", and these statements are joke at best.

But not me.

I am 100% serious.

Fallout 76 is a Good game.

It has better RPG system than 4, functionally work for Single player RPG, innovated upon "perk based" RPG system. It bring back classic dialogue picker. And a lot of flavour dialogue checks are for roleplaying purposes (mostly because quest are solved mostly via combat).

IF Fallout 5 based their RPG system on Fallout 76, it will be a good game.

Most normals (who mostly liked New vegas) need only concern themselves with writing which still a concerning issue in any Bethesda RPG.

t has better RPG system than 4,

Sure, can be less trash than 4. But there is a huge gap between less trash than 4 and "good" or even "average". But I can`t play a shooter which its guns look like toys. I even have a thread about atrocious bugthesda gun design > why-bugthesda-cant-design-a-proper-gun.150069/

________________________

Here is a triggering fact. Survival games like 7d2d has more RPG than ANY bugthesda fallout.

Sorry to say, but your arbitrary gap-ing system isn't a universal truth.

I don't consider any Fallout game a shooter. I don't consider Fallout 76 or 4 to be a shooter. I don't care whether gun looks like a flying dildo or "real life guns".

All I care about is: "Gun" - it's a "Rifle" type "weapon". It uses ".45 Ammo" to "Cast", it has "Commando, Ground Pounder, Tank Killer Perks" to increase its efficacy.

RPG System wise all Bethesda Fallout titles are solid, and 76's RPG System is considerably better than 4's - what normies usually complain about is actually Quest Writing, but they couldn't articulate it correctly (without their favorite youtuber (propagandist) creating a catchphrase to parrot) so they say "4/76 bad RPG", while having 69 billion hours combined playing CoD/Team Fortress 2/Ballsdriver 2/Ballshammer 69k etc.

So no, I do not care about "gun design" like most normies/tourist often do. If you want shooty shooty game, play other games.

Women are objectively better game developers and are a godsend for RPGs
If you subscribe to the belief that women are beings of emotion and men are beings of logic, male game developers will typically release soulless box ticking simulators aimed at maximum profit, whereas women will typically release passion projects for connoisseurs.

Again, that is a very low bar. Does have better RPG elements than 7d2d?

I scantily play non-rpg titles so I do not know how Fallout 4/76 fare against 7d2d.

I think Fallout 4 rpg system is decent. The ditch the number but the underlying esoteric calculation still exist. Instead of "I have 55 on unarmed skill so it means I am decent at it", the game told you that you have 2 ranks in unarmed, which give you 25% more damage + armor penetration, or something like that. Now you calculate that with base damage, say 10, add that modifier - it become easier to understand and less esoteric. Now compare it to previous Fallout, 64 pistol skills - what did you actually get except for abstract ideas of your character "getting good" at something.

It's the same thing if the game just force you to spent certain amount of points to skills, say 15 skills per increase (like "Tag!"). Bethesda just give the label for each 15 skills point bought you get this amount damage and this etc.

Think of it like lockpicking skill in New Vegas, 25 easy, 50 average etc. Fallout 4 system simply let you purchase "25 points" (1 rank).

nigga, it's not even best rpg game of the year. 2nd place.
lol. are you talking about the famous Codexian's RPG GOTY Rank?

I don't make a habit of taking anything from RPG Codex as "Valid". RPG Codex is to put simply, a toilet. You come to shit here and nothing more.

And I genuinely believe that. Ask me again in other forum.
You're Mortmal's alt I take it.

Do I sound like chronically online/retarded to you?

I do not know who this "Mortmal" is.

Like I said, I come here to shit, because these forums are toilet. At some point I'll done with my business and gone. I have no plan to be a regular in this shithole.
You have to post triggering stuff but try to be funny as well, not just being a little attention whore. Otherwise people like you turn this forum into a toilet.

Two triggering statements >
1 - The power of mages should`t be balanced, nor overpowered or underpowered every time. Should be dependent on the setting. Eg - being a mid to high level wizard in Netheril should be a cakewalk compared to in Athas(Dark Sun)
2 - When you talk about Baldur`s Gate outside of Codex, everyone will assume that you are talking about Baizuo`s Gate 3, not BG1/2
