    The biggest surprise is fallout 76. I thought it was universally disliked? Is it the fallout TV show causing it?

      The TV show for sure helps. But people are playing it because they like it. There was a ton of work put into the game since its original release.

      Considering every Fallout game from the last two decades made top 20, I’d say yeah it’s probably the show lol.

      It has a really bad release. A few patches in, it turned into a good enough game. It’s still nowhere near as good as the heyday of Fallout with 2 and Tactics, but it’s a good enough game.

        Does it feel like a Fallout game yet? I remember playing it and kind of hoped it would feel like a co-op Fallout, but it’s just another survival and crafting game.

        I tried playing it, at least a year after release? And within minutes I had no idea what I was supposed to “do” to where to “go” - it just dropped you. I mean to a point that’s “open world”, a genre I enjoy, but something was just missing.

      I bought it on sale for like 5 or 10 bucks. Play it on my deck. After they added some npc quest lines, and if you don’t mind being pay locked out of some customizations, it is an ok game.

      I love the fallout universe and getting to experience some lore from so close to the bombs falling. But it is my least favorite out of all of the games. I even enjoy 4 better than it.
