I know this is heresy, but I like Fallout 76

I made the mistake of Pre-Ordering FO76 (At least it wasn't the overpriced plastic helmet edition.), forced myself to play it until they added NPCs, mostly out of buyers remorse. Some of my friends had made the same mistake and we all actually ran through the main campaign pretty quickly and had a great time, but then after they all stopped playing out of a lack of content I tried doing it again solo, just to see what it was like, and made a realization: Moving furniture is fun with friends not because you're moving furniture, but because you're doing it WITH friends.

 

The ONLY existent 'plotline' (s) of any sort is/are essentially single-player as the multiplayer implementation during questlines is- like a lot of things in Faww-aaaht zebbiddy sticks, actually terrible. The person that is 'leader' does all the interactions while the people they play with twiddle their thumbs, and then, even when the multiplayer aspects (eg shared combat encounters...) do happen, the combat is horrible.

I played the entirety of flobadob slobadobbidy slobs as a solo or single player, the quest lines were uncompelling and utterly forgetful (I literally cannot recall any of what happened in a meaningful way). And now, after completing all there is to complete and finding myself at the proverbial shallow puddle that is already dried out; which constitutes the 'late game' or 'end game' content, the game just feels like a fidget toy, I pick it up to amuse my hands and turn my brain off while vaguely fallout-eque images are thrown into my eyeballs.

 

Ok Joe, I will stick to popping bubble wrap if I get too bored.
