There are froobs for you to play with. What more do you need?

I stayed away until a few months ago and bought it cheap. It's fun but I haven't played since Wastelanders was released.

Tommy Hawk is fun to play with on XBOX, and there's this crazy guy from Tennessee that friended me who is literally on all the time and has tons of loot to share. He's hilarious. Tommy and I played with him one night and he can just clear out areas with ease and help out.

I like it more than I thought I would. Need to get back into playing it. Herkyalert is my XBOX tag if you want to play sometime. Sometimes I get hammered and play which is fun.

I need PS4 froobs to play with. I'm running a junkies commando build now and can wipe out about anything.

I have it on XBOX. Is it functionally the same as FO4? Pretty much same engine but with online aspects?

Pretty much. Factions are different. The online community is top notch and the high level players love helping out newer players, giving them good stuff, explaining the game economy, helping them build CAMPs and assisting them with events.

The game is a lot better now than it was day-1 as far as glitches go. I'd sure try it out.

I was drunk that night too. I took pictures after Tennessee dude (he's on ALL the time :lol: ) showed us how to sneak through locked doors, and those pics pop up every now and again during load screens. Playing with Froobs is so fun. Jffl is fun to play with on PS4 too, but he's like 50 levels ahead of me now, so I end up tagging along with him. Good times!

You gotta talk Abe into playing. He creeps around and Solo's it, so you just gotta pop up out of nowhere in the middle of a firefight and save his ass.

Alright Shitkickers it's time to get back into this. I have 18 days off starting Dec 10th. Bought this game for a buddy for an early Christmas so will have another person to wreck shit with.

He's going to do some solo play to get the hang of it and then I'll look for Tommy Hawk and the dude from the south who's always on and we can have a foursome. No homo.

Apparently Bethesda accidentally dropped Steel Dawn six weeks earlier than intended. Thats the BOS update. Haven't hopped on since, but if you're into Brotherhood of Steel, there's nowbNOC action and missions available.

Get Abe to spend $12 for an XBox copy of the game, and let's fuck shit up.

You really were, man. Every time I got on, you were like 40 levels higher than before. Wastelanders hasn't even been out for a year yet. Crazy.

My Xbox buddy said when BOS came out, he beat everything new in 2 like hours :roll:

Oh well, when you're max level and new dlc comes out, you're going to bull doze it. For people whom haven't played yet, or just started, the dlc adds more game I guess, but it's not really enough for vets to wait around for. I probably put 50+ hours into that game so I feel like I got my money's worth for two copies.

Word on the street is FO76 is going to allow you to have more than one CAMP. That means if you spent a lot of time and effort and Atoms building one CAMP and you're at budget, but you like to build, you can keep the old one, and load into the Wastelands and build a new one, somewhere else. You can only use one CAMP at a time, but if you like to build, this allows you the flexibility to expand your horizons.

On XBox, I've only ever had the one CAMP, and it's maxed out, and I don't want to destroy it to build a new one, so this should be cool. Also, a new patch came out this week, and your storage weight moved from 800 to 1200, so thats kinda neat.

Its nice to see Bethesda add stuff that makes people who've beaten everything and have all God roll weapons want to play more.

When is there going to be news about the next Fallout?

As someone who believes the "always online" trend has sort of ruined gaming, I absolutely never could get into Fallout 76. I bought it, but still to this day haven't loaded it up.

I doubt there is one on this upcoming gen. These games take so long to make anymore. I mean we got one fucking game from Rockstar all last gen.

They are working on Elder Scrolls 6 and it's not supposed to come out until 2026. Probably sometime after that unless another developer works on it like New Vegas.

I hated Fallout 4 myself but loved 3.

Has anything new come out on this game lately? I've thought about firing it up for the first time on the PS5 to see. Kind of waiting on some DLC for Cyberpunk

I hope you like the same game as you would have played with your marked up PS5 that you would have played on PS4.

Can you name me your wow moment on PS5?
