I thought Battlefield had this years biggest fall disappoint in the bag but this game just blew by it for the lead in the last few weeks.

Fallout 76's physics apparently tied to framerate, can walk faster by looking at the ground

You guys think this is just random, no, this is a symptom, the bigger problem is the ageing engine.
If this is how they handle game logic, there will be so many bugs. Collision detection will be buggy. Anything with physics will be buggy. So many things....
On top of this you add the randomness of server lag issues...

Reminds me of telltale and that for the visuals their games had, the performance didn't match up.
With no BR until March it's DOA in my opinion. This Fall is already too packed as is. I have zero desire to buy another game as I already have too much to play. Should have delayed it until it is done.
If you can look down in your version of the game (spoiler: you can) you will get more frames than those who lose frames looking up. (it's a Bethesda game, this is guaranteed)
I'm assuming that, literally, this is their final big money grab using their existing enginge before a next gen upgrade.
It's evident they've put no effort into this thing and maybe, just maybe, in a post RDR2, Horizon, Breath of the Wild world, people will stop buying into Bethesda's hype and they'll finally work on the core engine.

I've been ridiculed for eons for saying their junk heap, duct taped gamebyro zombie engine is trash. I guess we finally are in a world where the "no one else does what they do!" excuse doesn't fly anymore.
Jesus, you guys are so salty about this game. Lol.
I had 4 hours of great fun with it last night and I'm bummed I can't play more tonight.

This is a horrible character assassination of hardcore Fallout fans.
BF was here before the BR trend and it will be here after. Can't say I feel the same way about Fallout 76.
Like a wise man once said, if this was a car the government would step in because so many people would be dying.
People shrugging this off are forgetting that this is no small part what makes the situation different now. Yes, it's a engine thing that's a massive YMMV issue. That's not particularly consequential for single-player. MMO format? Disaster.
I think Fallout 4's engine didn't see as much criticism as it could have due to the backlash on the poor dialogue system and story. It also didn't look that bad at the time, not impressive, but not bad either. Since the upgrades here were quite marginal, the engine looks increasingly dated. Hopefully the backlash to this game will cause them to really re-evaluate the iteration of these engines game to game.
This is a pretty interesting read, thanks for sharing!
The bit about goldsrc made me chuckle
Oh damn it, did not think about this. This old engine is well known by now in the modding community. Couple with online multiplayer there is no way it will not be a hacker griefer fest soon.
im just interested to see how this all plays out reception and sales wise and this point.
bugs are gonna be spectacular

Skyrim was literally unplayable on the PS3 when released, and despite patches still fell over in the end game. Due to poor coding and memory leaks the frame rate would drop and drop as your save file grew and there was nothing you could do about it - eventually you'd be down at 5 FPS permanently.
There should have been pitchforks and mobs over that alone.
