Fallout 76 appears to have fallen victim of the now common internet practice of burying a new game before it's even properly left the shelves..

The 'dedicated' group of 'super fans' decided that they really didn't like the idea of it, vilifying it and BGS so belligerently that it was picked up by news outlets and now has been, unfairly, labelled en mass as a 'bad' game.. despite many many people seemingly not having even played a single minute of it!

You can argue that the industry has been heading slowly towards self-destructive territory for a few years now... but the 'gamers' themselves certainly haven't helped.

I’ve played several hours of it and can confirm it’s pretty awful for the price range.

However, if they take a leaf from the ‘No Mans Sky’ book and use the world they have created (the only strong point of F76) as a basis for expansion and if they react to the criticism and improve from there, may be there’s hope of something decent emerging from it.

As I said, the world they’ve built here is great, there just isn’t much to do other than chasing quest markers around with little reward.

I’d suggest avoiding it for the moment and maybe picking it up at a later date when they’ve added some decent content and patched out most of the bugs.

That's a fair assessment mate. I'm more referring to the shouts that it's apparently 'unplayable' when it clearly is.. despite the bugs. Also to the people who wanted Fallout 5 who ended up being disappointed when really it's their fault for setting their expectations incorrectly.

For me the game excels when playing with at least one friend - makes the exploration a lot more fun & interesting.
 
Been playing Beat Saber on the PSVR today. Great fun and a good arm workout at the same time. Just a shame at the lack of music variety comapred to the PC version of the game.
 

Got the PS Classic.

It's alright. It's a better ornament than a gaming console though - something wrong about playing PS1 games on a modern TV. The NES/SNES Mini got away with it because it was 2D spritework but there's something about primitive 3D gaming that works better on the CRT.

Nice addition to the collection though!

She’s definitely got me one for Christmas.

I think it will be more a ‘nice to have’ thing than anything else too.

But looking forward to giving it a go none the less.
