I think this is probably the reason they didn't want to sell on Steam. They knew this was going to be a trainwreck and that people would justifiably lose their shit and didn't want Valve to be able to step in and refund everybody that got ripped off.
How!? How!? I can't understand how they could possibly fuck up literally everything! It's 2019! And they had a freaking Y2k bug! HOW!?
I'm not really that surprised that it happend. So far they have had something happen every week since release.
It just... keeps getting worse. I'm so glad I did not throw any money into this dumpster fire. EDIT: I was actually looking at it the other day thinking "It's been a few months, it's probably been patched and fixed so it's worth the play now." NOPE!
Technically it's the exact opposite. The Fallout Y2K bug STOPS all the nukes from working. The real Y2K bug was supposed to make them all work... at the same exact time.
Well that was certainly the worst case scenario, but what was really expected was all the computers simply not working anymore, because they'd reach this calendar point that doesn't exist. Which of course is ludicrous, the only way it could've legitimately caused a problem is if it had been coded to error in the event of a negative time change. Like putting a hard stop on your mileage when it reaches 000000.
i'm playing for my self though, I don't care what others find. I still havent done any multi player, mostly because I dont wana ruin story line that im working on.
Yeah, I found it hilarious that players had already found a way into the dev debugging/test area in the game and then started laundering the endgame items on the grey market. "Oops", said Bethesda.
The best part is they're just flagging and banning the accounts that go there and proclaiming that the problem is fixed, while completely ignoring the fact that people are just making trash accounts to loot the room and then mailing the items to their real account. It's like having massive bleeding from your leg, but instead of stopping the bleeding you put a tourniquet on your arm and then pretend that solves the problem and that nothing is wrong. Bethesda to Fallout 76 "Oh, ey der, you seem to be missin' alf yer leg dare, bud! Just gunna put dis here tourniquet on your arm... like so... and yer good ta go!" EDIT: IDK why I gave Bethesda a Canadian accent...
It's more like throwing a blanket across your legs instead. "You can't see it, so it's not a problem! Now just go to sleep."
So does having access to a room full of literally everything actually break the game or anything? Because I'm accustomed to at some point or another getting bored of grinding whatever Fallout wants me to grind and just using the console to spawn a metric crapton of it and it's never had any negative impact on my enjoyment of the game.
