I wonder how many are gonna bother in the first place...
I would really need to see a 10/10 review for this game before I'm even going to bother again. The early reports have really discouraged me.
I’ve been having a ton of fun playing the BETA on Xbox. Wandering around and running into other players is pretty cool, but the coolest thing is doing missions with friends. I’m gonna sink so much time into this game
Oh wow I thought the beta had already happened.
I'm still not going to bother though.
I’m curious to see what others think, but not curious enough to try it out myself. I’m still gradually chewing on Fallout 4 and don’t see myself having time for this.
@johncalmc It started on Xbox One initially, but today's the first day for PS4 players
@Quintumply Oh that's where I've seen it then. I'm okay with Red Dead. I wish Fallout 76 good luck but I think it's gonna need it.
I'm so glad Red Dead came out, otherwise I might have been tempted to play this.
I'm ready to start breaking things. Just enough time to bag a few deer and a quest or three in RDR2 first then I'll attempt to log in to the Fallout 76 beta on PS4.
When I heard they were saving gameplay from the Beta and letting testers continue where they left off in the launch version that convinced me to cancel my physical pre-order (didn't have beta access) and just go ahead and pre-order on the PSN store today instead.
Started downloading this last night, will hopefully get in on one of these days. Huge download at 95gb!
Mine has been downloading for 3 days and it's finally done red dead still has 2 days lol

Even the PC beta client itself has issues. lol
I forgot this was even a thing. First and only Fallout game that I have zero interest in. Thanks for nothing Bethesda.
Updated with newly announced dates and times
What about cross-play??? I mean, Brat Howard was whinning like a lil kid about Sony not being cooperative about cross-play.
He clearly used Sony as scapegoat, lol.
