There’s always next year
It has been a real rough start for Bethesda’s open-world MMOFallout 76. I’m not sure if anyone needs me to dial back through the various issues, major and minor, that have hit the post-apocalyptic title since its November launch, but let’s just say critics and fans have not warmed to what, on paper, is an excellent idea.
Regardless, Bethesda has a free gift for anyone who logged intoFallout 76this year, in the form ofThe Fallout Classic Collectionon PC. Comprised of the originalFallout, Fallout 2andFallout: Tactics,the games will be made available to all 2018Fallout 76players sometime next month.
Free stuff is always nice, but it’s hard not to see this as another apology for the disappointing productFallout 76delivers. That’s without even making mention ofone of this year’s weirdest gaming controversies, “Bag-gate” (To be fair, I don’t think anyone calls it that.) As forFallout 76,there’s nothing to stop Bethesda from turning its fortunes around. There are other games that have had rocky starts that still found their footing. Hopefully, it’s not too late.
Fallout 76is available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One.
#HappyHolidays!
