76 is much improved since launch. It gets too much hate, but if you've never played a Fallout game it's not the best place to start since many things won't make sense.

76 is trash. Endless grind disguised as a game.

A friend of mine said he saw a level 10,000 player the other day. So yes, endless grind, but they obviously enjoy the game.

Haven't played 76 in quite a while. Early on, it was pretty bad. Beta-test-duh really whiffed on going multiplayer online and failed to read their audience. In my experience, and 76 was no different, those wanting to play that style of game typically either just want to run around and play bang - bang or act as griefers trying to spoil the fun for everyone. They typically jump onto the latest thing and then move on to the next one.

Fallout 76 does have A LOT of semi hidden story content, and what I mean by semi hidden is that you need to explore and search for it, it's not going to come to you and the game is not always going to direct you to the location. Much of this content is adult themed as well and involves some pretty sad story lines. Instead, you need to read the monitor logs, and examine items, etc. They have also added a lot of content that makes it much more suitable for single roll player type play, which is, or was, their core audience.

Early on Fallout 76 and it's launch reeked of financial desperation, and it is no wonder they were bought out by M$, which is where a lot of the game improvement came from.

Steam wish list it and they'll email you when it goes on sale. If you like it and want more try 76.

I've already gone to Acadia, handled all of Dima's tasks including making peace for the island by ousting the leader of the Atom people. I left the other tasks for later. My goal is to get back to level 50 or so with some killer power armor and then just go stomp all my foes and tie up loose ends.
Next stop is going to be Nuka World. Plan there is to get the really good power armor that's behind glass in the galaxy zone. That will set up my reign of terror.

Who's everyone's favorite companion? I use Piper. I give her the Atom's Judgement hammer and she's been great at melee combat. I can stand back with a scoped.44 pistol and clean up what she misses.
 
 
Just going to add, though she seems to have gone dark, Marta Branco, aka Innovsurvivalist, has an excellent series of videos on Fallout 76.

Even better, is Paul at Skooledzone (or maybe it’s Skoolezone) with regards to Fallout 4.

Highly recommended both, on U-tube.

My wife and I still play now and then. She enjoys the camp building. Plenty of videos on the subject on youtube if you enjoy that sort of thing.

I haven’t played in a while, but most of what I did was camp building and trading for collectibles. Some of my early builds were rough, but got better and better the more eclectic I made it. Started with a warehouse type building, then a lofted wood/glass cabin, but my favorite is probably the house I built in to the side of a dam.

I still enjoy camp tourism. Have you played since they added public teams? People mostly ignore each other and join for the group buffs, but you can teleport to a team mate's camp for free so it's easy to join a team and check out everyone's camp.

I didn’t go too in on the base building in 76, which was initially discouraged, but later encouraged (read your audience).

I met up with a few friends, like Ashley aka Nami Nico Assuna, and as someone said in this or another thread “you mean girls are people too?” And she would frequently gift me special made weapons and we’d use each other’s base to recharge and resuscitate. I even have a few pictures of her playing the piano in my cabin and the two of us on the roof of her base with us looking out over a distant mountain range.

Edit to add, we’d also chat offline. This was mostly during Covid and she would try to stay away from everyone at the office, until she got it and was sicker than she’d ever been.

Yep. Took advantage of that pretty regularly, less so as I stopped playing after seemingly always being near max caps.
 
Yup I play a ton of COD Warzone on Xbox. I’m pumped they finally brought Rebirth Island back!

Since retiring I've had a lot of free time. I've read all the books that I can stand now and long for a more mindless pursuit. So gaming comes to mind. I've not done that for a long time. Last I remember was playing Quake on our Mac. Great fun. I liked the first person format, no puzzles, no script, just run around shooting monsters.i think that I want to get back to playing but so much has changed that I don't know where to start. I don't think that I want to play with/against other people. I don't want to pay periodically to play ( no subscription). I do like the first person thing and am drawn to historical simulations. Oh, I don't really want to spend a big wad of money.
So what do I do?

Get a used PS4 and Sniper Elite 4 and Sniper Elite 5. WW2 Era. I love those games.
There's also a Wulfenstein [spelling?] game for that console. It's mostly running around shooting Nazis and robots. One of the levels even let's you shoot Hitler. It's a very violent game.

PC Gamer or Console gamer? Your definition of big wad of money will help decide that since PC gaming is more expensive.

Absolutely... the new update for Season 3 is more "realistic". Gameplay is different, more like some of the other FPS games. I am using PS5

They bring back hardcore cyber attack? Won’t even be a consideration for me unless that game mode was brought back.

Why PS4 vs XBox as recommended above?

I've allways stayed with the Playstation consoles cause I absolutely hate the way the Xbox controllers feel. The Playstation controllers fit and feel better in my hands while playing games. Kinda like a firearm if it don't fit and feel right in the hand your not gonna use it. But as far as game play goes there's not much difference between Xbox systems and Playstation systems.

I’m the exact opposite, I can’t stand PlayStation controllers.

Same. I was going to give in and get a 5 for Helldivers 2, but the controllers......

The PS5's controller is different from the PS4. Stop by one of them there electronic stores, and see if they got a demo model on the floor. I personally think the PS5 controller is a big improvement, over previous versions.
