So, anyone else excited about Fallout 76?
I am, I played the B.E.T.A for 4.5 hours a few days ago. They are doing timed sessions every so often until release next month on the 14th November. Starting with Xbox One users who have pre ordered the game. I have been a Fallout fan since the Fallout 3 was released, since then I have dreamed of having an online or co op type version.
So first off, the graphics are not top of the line or anything, but they are definitely a tonne better than Fallout 4. Don't get me wrong it looks great. During my first play there were some issues such as screen tearing, then the standard Bethesda game bugs we all have grown to love such as enemies stuck in T Pose (see below for an example) and getting stuck on random objects but luckily I managed to wriggle out after a minute or so. Hopefully a lot of this will be fixed by next month or early into it.

My first thoughts are even though it is online, I found it to be a pretty solo experience, I didn't team up with anyone, but there are up to 24 other players on the map, but the map is huge so once people spread out you don't really bump into other people that often. My game style will mostly be a solo experience, but I like that there are others around that I can bump into and even help out or fight pvp/pve.
It's a little early to even attempt to review this game so the goal of this post is to see if there are any other steemians that have tried it or are going to buy it, or even if there are people that don't want to get it because it is online. I have heard in the news about the uproar of it being online.
I wish I took some screenshots now, but I'll probably take some over the weekend as there are a couple more test sessions happening.

I'm a Fallout Fan too, but I have not tried it.
I would love to get it when it is finally released. Wanna be survival buddies then?
Sure, if you have got an Xbox? There's no crossplay apparently.
Dang...no cross play? Lame...
So magnificent and good :)
