As an og player i feel like I really came out of 76 and hung around till everybody showed up in Appalachia

Honestly, I love the fact that after level 25, you can change your special around. For free as many times as you want. As someone who doesn't know what they want to do. It's nice to know that I'm not stuck with what I picked as I leveled up in the beginning.

I installed the game upon learning there was an Assaultron in Fishnets in the Battle Pass, and for about a week and a half, I grinded the hell out of it. When I finally unlocked her, I almost immediately dropped the game. Just nice to have her around when I may or may not get into it for real.

when I kept getting randomly hurt without any enemies or traps. I thought there was a tripping mechanic

I fw you extremely heavily Owen Kung

76 is probably one and maybe the first fallout game that make you afraid of your own power armor, not because it has any negative when wearing it, it just it a dice roll if you gonna just get in and be on your merry way or you get stuck on the animation until you aft F4 the game.

It's my Monday today and starting the week off with kung got me feeling the sunshine on a cloudy day

I play on XBox and I rarely encounter many bugs these days. Definitely nothing like you were dealing with. On console it's been pretty stable for a while now.

I'm surprised you didn't touch factions that much like the settlers, raiders and even union fanatics and responders are pretty well developed, at least more than fallout 4. Factions feel realistic and are more organized and realistic. Each one trying to expand and grow to survive

I really like it now. I have done everything I can in all the other games and I’m glad I have this a chance cause it there are so many quest lines that are new and Appalachia is beautiful in game. It’s always crazy seeing a level 776 player run up to you and drop so much stuff that you can hardly carry it all. I was expecting to get killed 😂

Regarding the PowerArmorstand, it is kinda integrated into the mainquestline. At the Time you are in the Area with the molemen, you gonna have the firebreather quest, in that Quest you can gather a load of Black Titanium inside that mine. With that you will have no problem to build the Excavator Power Armor. By finishing that Quest you will get the Powerarmor stand. The Excavator suit is also the best Armor in the early to mid game, because of that 100+ Carry weight and some decent protection. Regarding Reparing, the Scorchqueen drops everytime you kill her like 7 advanced repairkits :D Those will repair Weapons for like 150+% condition. You can also skill the repairskill, on lv3 you will repair for 200% condition. There is also a luck skill, that has a chance to repair your guns if you shoot on enemies with it. If you want to farm certain resources, for example screws, do the Event with Al, all those wenidgo spawns drop like 6-7 screws. So you gonna get like easily 100-200 screws during just that one event.

Of all the bugs you called out at the start I haven't experienced most of them personally. I play on Game Pass and PC. Undoubtedly your spawn point in camp can be manually set. I don't know how but i heard that recently. Now I regularly get npc's dying for no apparent reason. I have it happen constantly with certain areas. Like the lumber yard where all the Responders are. The one with Lane for the daily quests and not far from the Wayward and Vault 76. I'll walk up to it and everyone is shuffling around doing there thing and I'll use a bench to scrap and when I turn around everyone that's not essential is dead on the floors. I thought maybe they were being fragged by a high level sneaker or something but it happens on private as well as public servers. It happens quite a bit in that whole general area. Like the mine where all the blue ridge and Brahmin caravan stuff happens.

The most frustrating thing for me with engine instability and buggy NPCs is the escort quest in The Most Sensational Game expedition. That fucking escort lags out, stands still, glitches or stalls so often that it's not uncommon to lose the 15 minute objective due to the NPC literally not responding.

U get a real Questline for Atlantic City if you find that family in the mountains. With them you travel to the set pieces of Atlantic City and do some interesting quests. (e.g cosplaying as clown to execute on of the Showmen lol) with the big Update in June Appalachia gets a big new Area in the South of Appalachia, with new Enemy Types and with a new Mainquestline involving Vault 63-. And new Bossfights with 3 colossal Robots at once. There are also more companions I think, I saw a named supermutant in one of the camps, also the Radio Guy or that retired writer are other companions you can add.

Accurate on that exploration. I been playing for a month & I spent the first 8 days just running around the map looting junk & new places. I’m glad I did because now I have the map memorized visually

I dont hate the atomic shop its the reason why EVERY content update is free. You can earn them too and its better then paying for every update like destiny

Im honestly so lucky that when i started back in brotherhood days a neighbor near by gave me a ton of free materials for me to use to make my base

I just finished my first play through of 4. Loved it but on the fence if I should upgrade ps plus to play new Vegas and 3 or give 76 a try?

I've tried getting into 76 many times but I just become uninterested pretty quickly it feels like it's missing something that NV and f4 had that kept me playing so Ive just decided to stick with f4

As someone who likes base building, i dont mind the plans. I really enjoy getting plans i dont have at player vendors.

Your high framerate is definitely causing bugs. For this game engine high framerates are known to break the physics.

I enjoy building, i just feel let down because everything is paywall locked or has passed and gone so coming into this now just gives me not a lot of options for that awkward system for decorating...

It’s insane how good the perk systems is n this game like when u say it out loud it sounds alright but actually playing it u have dam near unlimited freedom

It's crazy to think they're expanding the map even further out

My fallout 76 time has been very bug free actually, in fact i think I have only ran into 1 bug being a simple power armor bug where i sometimes get stuck into the armor, and its only crashed once. Note:I'm playing on a day 1 release xbox one, that almost died when i tried to play dead by daylight.

yk I was one of those that stuck with 76 an had lot of fun making builds and omg them legacy’s I had a whole set, then stopped playing cuz of them made it to easy for me but seeing this makes me wanna go hunt for legendarys again like I did once

I don't know man I started playing again and I noticed I couldn't get some of my already active quests lines 😢

40:18 was not expecting a Jojo reference but I welcome it.

Great video man! Ya know, this video really inspired me to give my take on this game. Been here since beta and got 1000+ hours, and hey maybe one of those "I played this for 1000 hours so you dont have to" would be fun to make

I'm glad the phantom hits wasn't just me, I thought maybe I was going schizophrenic

My favorite part of 76 is the 50 cal machine gun. I come back to that game like once or twice a year just to roll around in power armor, use all my 50 cal ammo and craft some more for next time I hope on lol

My first fallout. Love the storyline and multi player. Everyone has been helpful on my journey. I might have miss the trolls coming in so late that said most players who ive ran into high lvl are genuinely enjoying helping me understand the perks, crafting, builds etc

Is kung worth owening in 2024?

Also the NCR Ranger Helmet... it's too small. Feels like it's smaller than my players head.

It definitely is i came back to ky original level 6 character and within 3 days im now level 64 and kitted out with full ultracite pa and 50 cal machine gun.

My biggest problem is my game crashes every time i go to nuka world on tour

Theres alot of cool cosmetics and camp plans that are free from events fam

Yep the only way I’ve noticed to get NPCs to not brain fart in the middle of talking is to not skip, but I still do most of the time 😂 since skyline valley started the bugs are worse but that’s to be expected I think with buggthesda. But I still have a lot of fun playing 76 😂

The only thing I don't like is the game always crashes when you are in missions

As much as I hate having to unlock all of your gun mods it makes sense lore wise.

Got it for $8 on sale shortly after the show dropped. Played the hell out of it for maybe 2 weeks, hit level 50, and dropped it. I was having a lot of fun reading notes and terminals, and listening to holotapes for a while there.. But man it started to get pretty old around level 40. Found myself spamming through terminal entries and notes rather than reading them after a certain point. Just like that it was "friendship ended with Fallout 76, now Dave the Diver is my best friend" Probably gonna stick my head in for the big Skylines update though.

I’m very excited. I guess a MothMan event starts this week and I get to play with my boyfriend 🥰

good video mr fitzgerald

Literally looking to see if fallout 76 then boom, 3 hours ago this man uploads this vid. Crazy how the universe works huh? Subbed and liked because it was predestined to happen.

I wanna hear a video of you ranking the new Vegas companions lol. Boone be capping fools.

Owen bro, you should suffer for us and do a video on starfield

The thing that makes me love this game is playing with friends

Fallout 76 has really upgraded. I played it when the game first came out, and it was full of glitches. This is my second time around, after five years, and it's definitely better.

0:25 good to know Bethesda made the in-game towns as accurate to real life as possible.

I'm not seeing the lag and bugginess, but then, I run at 60fps.

I think this game is pretty good now, it's a decent spin off. Personally i think Fallput should branch out to different genres, the Mainline games have that RPG/Story open world stuff like previous games, and spin off games should try something unique.

As a new player lvl 80, i like the game since i came in with low expectations and knowing its not a true fallout game. performance can suck, some servers better then others it seems. quests have u got A to B to C to D back to A, the choices are ok at least some have a couple options. its rng therefore grindy. the world is nice and feels lived in. the map is good and exploration is good, variety of enemies is good, the game is like a fallout themed survival mmo rpg looter shooter. If u liked F4 on survival u will prob like it but the inventory management can rly suck when u wanna collect stuff. I do like the game but i cant say its not mid.

Is it bad to say that I prefer Fallout 3 and New Vegas old graphics over 4 and 76? I just prefer the older graphics they seem to get that wasteland look better than 4s happy go looking city

Oh yeah we back in the mountains

Important correction: You only need to be level **25** (not level 50) to visit a SPECIAL machine and reconfigure your points.

Nah man, that's just how the DMV works IRL.

kung i want you

I'll listen to this dude talk about it. Probably not going to play it though. I'll give props to Bethesda for keeping it alive though.

When we getting another Chinese war story?

i played 76 for a few months on release and i had some fun with it, i also surprisingly experienced very few bugs, but it just didn't click with me, even with all the updates and NPCs being added and new world spaces, it just isn't worth the time investment, the games entire gameplay loop is grinding to be able to grind more, encountering other players is cool for novelty's sake, but it just feels pretty hollow and boring unless you're playing with a squad of friends, and i just generally hate full priced games that release completely broken and shallow before they monetize all the improvements and recycled cut content for the forseeable future.

I play on ps5 but the ps4 version of the game it runs smooth i havent ran into any of the problems you have

Metro series review when : )

W video frfr

You can change stats at level 25 not 50

I came back to the game after years, I was already level 50 by the time I came back and I’m level 70 something now, my biggest wish for the game right now is for them to balance out how fucking Grindy the end game is, the 400 a day cap on gold is way too small. Not only are you grinding out the treasury notes but then you’re grinding out just turning them in everyday, at 400 gold a day you’d have to play 8 days straight to get enough gold just for some calibrated shocks for the hellcat PA, it’s a little much

wtf is that screenshot at 9:04 LOL

I hate the normal/expert/master cards, take 9 levels to get , takes 9 perk slot, just for your damage not be shit, which should be your weapon responsability or the good old skill system that toke care of the boring parts like %damage, lockpick/hacking which made the perks cool, now i need to grind 9 levels to change my weapon, at lest the rest of the system is pretty good

Is this guy related to stevemre

I’ve played all the big franchises but never touched a fallout game. But it was a concept I liked and I liked the tv show a lot so I’ve been putting hours into fallout 4. That’s the first one I got and really enjoying it. I think I’m gonna download this too. I played a lot of red dead online so I’m sure a lot of it will be familiar and it looks like a good time now

I didn't get very far. But I watched some others revisit the game and I see them playing Destiny 2 type missions and yeah, not for everyone

Watoga actually never fails to drop my frames to about 11 because i play on an xb1

Also you clearly don’t know what outfit you’re wearing, that’s not the Veteran NCR armor, that’s Ranger armor, just bog standard, not NCR and not the Veteran version. The vet version is in game but it’s worth 4000 atoms. The vet armor has more straps and parts to it. So if that’s why it’s not hitting for you it’s because your looking for the Veteran Ranger armor not the Ranger armor

I fw you heavy vro…

That moment when the the world looks absolutely amazing and theres no lag is truly serene almost feels like a new game. I havent had most of those bugs, its mostly power armor bugs

In my opinion Fallout 76 started getting really good, then right around the battle pass time they added level scaling and started stuffing the servers with people now theres lots of server lag all over.

Also just want to thank you for giving an honest review of the game and not a review of the game through the lens of New Vegas. They're different fallout games folks. Big fuckin shocker.

Mistake #1 was running above 60 FPS. I hate it but the engine is tied directly to frame rate. Max you can run is 120 without the game self destructing, but even that stresses it. 60 FPS is safest and the performance isn’t that bad.

After 4 years of absence, returning to this game I've never expected it to be so fun now and i forgot how beautiful the map is, easily the best map in all of Fallout games, it's definitely worth it now.

why does everyone just don't know what the term 'npc' mean? The enemies are npcs. The robot you talk to are npcs. NPC stand for nonplayer character. not that hard to comprehend

It just works

Honestly I quite enjoyed the building in this game more then F4, since it doesn’t restrict you on where you can build so you can have your camp be at any location you want it at and they give you a second camp if someone already built their camp on top of yours which is pretty nice.🐱

I'd say yes, been playing for a month now nd having a blast... literally.

I9 13900k 4090 32 gigs ram, m.2 2 tb Im lagging no matter what settings

I’m new to the game and can say it’s definitely worth playing, I’ve been playing for a couple weeks and already have multiple days played😂

Pretty sure you can use the punch card at 25

You spent time and did your research well. You missed a lot that can factor in in the good and the bad but Im still impressed and gotta give respect to youtuber reviewers like you. It's rare. Especially for people who claimed they are a fan of fallout franchise but dont know jackshit about what Fallout is about (And no, Im not a fallout 4 hater. I like all of the games). I can counter some of your opinions and judgements ofc, but I'm too tired defending this game for 2 years now lol not because I give up playing the game, I still play daily and I'm still enjoying myself because holy hell I'm still not done with the things they offer. They keep us fed! I'm also just happy that more and more people finally let go of their stupid stubborn hateful stance and just TRY. And turns out they are willing to admit that they have been the sheeple themselves for at least 3 years now. Because the game have been good since Wastelander DLC. It's just being perfected step by step and I'm a living witness of it (also thousands of us that's been playing or tried the game without the need of a viral TV Show). So yea, I'm not gonna counter some of your opinions that I disagree but I think making comments on good reviews like yours, giving a like and let anyone with a healthy brain and will, try the game on their own is enough. Some of your criticism and opinions are valid (just for the fresh ears and eyes can be blown out of proportion) but your good opinion about the game is quite exactly what I'm feeling about this game too. Good video, man. Thank you for visiting Appalachia. Hope to see you in the wasteland as a neighbour in the future

here's a fix for the falling bridge thing, DON'T CAMP NEAR BRIGDES.

I’m gonna have to start a play through of this game after I finish replaying fallout 4. I’m not sure why this dude hates fallout 4 so much literally one of the most replayable games with mods. And some of the mods coming out for 4 got me super excited like the fallout 1 and 2 remake on fallout 4s engine dude that’s got potential to be super fire

The scorched seem like a fan fiction creation.

Fantastic video.

I never had any problems with stability, bugs, etc. So idk what you're talking about

This video actually made Fallout 76 look enjoyable

I’m kunging

nope.. i have all the other Fallout games.. don't believe this one will be part of my library..one person mentioned monthly fees.. what the hell is that about..

Is Owen worth Kunging in 2024?

I’m not trying to through any hate man, but Fallout 76 definitely looks better graphically than 4, i play on series x and can notice the difference. Maybe the lighting changes between the two games throws it off at a glance but the graphics and details are definitely better than 4(base game with no mods)

Im glad im not the only one who hates the dmv and the rose raider quests

OG players will tell you its not p2w but as an OG player that played the game, is pretty p2w as you can just horde collect alot of things and spam click all the items for late game to gather junk to infinite degrees especially if you were planning on doing trades in thier online reddit sites or discord server

New kung, kung be praised

Bartering and crafting galore
