A Post-Nuclear Post-Mortem Of Fallout 76 (The Jimquisition)
- Thread starter It’s Time To Go
- Start date
Well, you could avoid clicking on threads about him or just use the awesome new ignore function! :D
Great. Don't visit a thread with Jim sterling in the title and shitpost with the first reply then.
Unless you watched the half hour video in the minute between thread post and your post.
I mean, you could also say "then don't play it" in response to people who still hate on Fallout 76.
I'm also in the "sick of Jim" camp, and outrage Youtubers in general. I'm tired of people who profit off of incessant negativity.
He's right on the money. They've ruined the standing one of the most beloved cRPGs in gaming, trading away its pedigree for a brazen cash grab, turning what could have been a learning moment in the wake of Fallout 4's missteps into a cynical attempt at milking whatever remained of its legacy. Let's hope 'The Outer Worlds' helps to wash away the foul taste of what Bethesda has done to the Fallout license.
I was kind interested in the video but after a few minutes I just skipped through.
We've covered this before jim. Endlessly. FOR. WHAT. SEEMS. LIKE. FOREVER.
Jim could've covered something else on E3 Monday.

No, but I've seen the other hundred videos about this topic that has been covered endlessly and to death.
What's the point in your post then? It's a shit post to derail the thread. The first page won't be talking about the video but rather your feelings about the person making it.
User Warned: Threadwhining
I mean sorry, but we've just done this thread so many times and its getting redundant.
It makes sense to cover it today given that last night they announced NPCS were coming, aka something that should have been in at launch.
unfortunately, there're some threads that, by their very nature, seem to be almost designed/destined to be derailed :) ...
Or they could learn from their mistakes and deliver a completely awesome Fallout 5.
Hell, the new Wastlander's DLC for 76 is showing signs of that already.
I'm aware but a 20 minute video recapping EVERYTHING about Fallout 76 so far is a bit of a dull, cold take.
It really wasn't meant to be a shitpost, it was just an observation on my part. Ya'll are taking this way too seriously and with all your replies to my comment it's actually not me who is derailing the thread right now. I'm sorry, relax.
if you don't like a thread, don't post, easy. don't try to shift this on someone else when your comment is the first one up there.
He doesn't play it, if you actually watched his videos. His complaining and bringing attention to it is necessary if the industry is to change from itMs current trend.

I understand that the game launched in a shitty state... But, they really have done some great things with it and turned it around. The upcoming update (That adds NPC's will also be great).
My friends and I downloaded it last night, excited to jump back into it.
If Fallout 76 taught us anything, its to hold off on Bethesda online experiences until you know its complete.

Does this cover any new ground that the sensational video by Internet Historian got there first with?
The upcoming dlc sounds promising but can you elaborate how they've done great things already and already turned it around? Really curious cause all I ever noticed were bug fixes and slight balance chances but no groundbreaking game changes and that's what the game needs.
It's almost as if a dedicated OT would solve both sides issues...
I agree. His claimed authority to feel like it's his duty to punish mistakes has reached a kind of absurdity to be honest
It's weird 'cause I respect the lens he puts on more important industry issues such as work crunch and loot boxes.
But his grudge with BGS over 76 just feels like a callous cynicism that's more toxic than anything at this point.
Bethesda f'ed up with 76. That's no secret. But FFS how long is he gonna go on about it? Not like BGS is the fist AAA dev to lay an egg.
Feels like he's returned to the well far too many times in this case.
Just move on, my dude.
I still can't believe Bethesda looked at the feedback from Fallout 4 and thought 76 would be a good idea. They yanked the franchise and it's such a problem because we're probably over a decade away from Fallout 5
Hot damn that was good! I loved hearing the old Jimquisition music theme again.
I'll admit I actually did get a twinge of excitement upon hearing that 76 was actually going to start resembling a real Fallout game finally, and that is having me consider getting a used copy online. I can get it for 18 bucks on Ebay so maybe i'll give it a shot.
So no he does not "profit off negativity"(his JQ videos are ad-free anyways)

Indeed, just look at the Fallout 76 sub-reddit, the sheer amount of fanboy ass-kissing on behalf of Bethesda is downright embarrassing, just look at the posts in this thread I made on that sub:https://old.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/byzce4/a_postnuclear_postmortem_of_fallout_76_the/
Then why are you even commenting on here?
Uh wrong, it's not an "umpteenth" video it's been months since Jim has said anything relating to the game and it's entirely relevant now. I expect better from people then just complaining because someone dares to criticize a game or a company.
Speak for yourself, it wasn't a "dull cold take" for most of us at all, I found it utterly fascinating just how badly Bugthesda fucked up, it almost makes me feel like they were actively trying to fuck up as much as humanely possible with this game.
and your post is less original then an alt-right nutjob whining about "SJWs" and "forced diversity"
Uh you do realize it's been months since Jim said anything about 76 right?
Jim does plenty of positive videos too but the problem they don't get nearly as many views and the Youtube algorithm punishes you if you do too many videos with low videos so Jim kind of HAS to keep doing negative content or his videos will stop getting promoted and way less people will see them as a result.

LOL, he posted this 6 days ago.
Didn't they just announce a lot of new features for the game? Feels like bad timing from Jim. Not that I care for the game much but there is still a chance to turn it around as long as there is a community. They did it with TESO, they can do it again.
People might as well pay Todd Howard to come round their house and shit in their mouth.
Contrast that with BGS leading their conference with a mea culpa, free upgrades to the game and highlighting and thanking their players. I'm a fan of Jim's but maybe not the best timing considering the context.
I don't watch all his videos and forgive me for watching the internet historians video on 76 last week.
Problem is that the additional features are ones that should have been in there since launch. The studio tried to explain away why NPCs weren't in vanilla but now all of a sudden the addition of a basic component of an RPG is being celebrated by a lot of people in the community. I mean, I get it. No Man's Sky pulled a very similar trick a couple of years ago and was met with the same polarized response.
I don't think basic elements of a game that aren't included in vanilla should be touted about as "new" features after the bitter taste the initial release left in players' mouth. But, hey, at least it isn't including bug fixes and "optimizations" as additional content a la Anthem.
Nah you can criticize constructively that's different than I'm sick of this. Plus it shows trends in gaming even if you avoid fallout 76 it's a major game by a major publisher and shows general industry trends and issues.
