Pretty sure everyone around here knows that.

Will this be the game that kills the Fallout franchise for Bethesda? Time for a re-think I'd say. Maybe they need to license it out while it's still worth something.

The Elder Scrolls series survived Battlespire and Redguard.

They are so ham-fisted it's almost unbelievable. But, earnings estimates are earnings estimates I guess.

greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

That is all.

 

No matter how many complain now, the next TES will be bought and the next (singleplayer) Fallout will also be bought. It's kinda depressing, but that's how it is.

Yeah, I don't really like the idea that one bad game tanks a company anyways, even though I got burned by Fallout 76. I mean, Fallout 4 and Skyrim were both very good games, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for a bit longer than one bad title.

It probably won't happen to a AAA company like Bethesda. But it has happened. Troika, Origin, and Eidos, for example.

what was bad game from Troika???

The buggy "Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines" release, which sold poorly.

Weren't all Troika games pretty much a buggy mess? TOEE is almost unplayable without mods!

Is it though?! The character designs are awful, the animations are poor, the combat isn't interesting or fun.

ok about animations and combat but characters were great, what are you talking about?

I don't know, a lot of those companies either were in a downward spiral, or never really got off the ground. Kind of interesting to think that Troika and Bethesda were both competing for the Fallout license, actually.

I think actually 'no' for me. TES with paid mods and microtransactions.  Nopls.

Fair enough, although I'd argue it is way too early to know exactly what they plan to do with the release of TES 6. They have plenty of time to change plans and react to the debacle of Fallout 76. Not saying they will, mind you, but they've got enough equity with me through a couple decades of Elder Scrolls games to get some benefit of the doubt.

fallout 76 was always a second life clone that had replaced the keyboard chat with guns guns guns. Now they even feature the same premium subscription service with the same premium benefits, but if you want to complain and get mad, that's not healthy, just laugh, laugh and keep taking your shots

As long as they don't kill the modding scene they'll be fine unless a game that is simply better comes around with at least as good modding support. So far nothing like that appears to be on the horizon.

I mean, the modding community is arguably what has kept their games relevant in the first place, bit weird that no-one has attempted to capitalize on Bethesda's stumbling yet by providing good modding support...

I didn't much care for Fallout 4 or 3 or even New Vegas really. I'm just not a fan of the current Fallout even though the the original games are among my most favorite so Fallout is over for me.

But going even further than that I've never gotten any Elder Scrolls games except for Morrowind which I got over pretty quickly because of the mechanics.

Still haven't tried TOW yet but I'm hoping something there clicks for me

I'm with you a bit on that. All of the Bethesda games tend to be lacking in the way they pull me into the story. I tend to enjoy them as sandbox exploring games, but rarely remember much from the main campaign.

TOW already is way ahead in that regard. It's a fun story. You aren't a kid looking for your dad or a parent looking for your kid, so the premise alone is less hokey. :p

I see it as strike 2, so to speak. Fallout 4 did well enough from a financial standpoint to warrant a direct sequel, even if fans were lacklustre about it. Despite the ****show that Fallout 76 has been, it's easy to presume it was a failed spinoff more so than a failure of the franchise, or due to lack of interest in the IP (I doubt Bethesda/Zenimax would acknowledge a fault in their horrible business practices). Now, if the next main game fails, I do reckon that could spell the end of the franchise.
