it is not the fact that online portions will be in there that makes me ignore this game. it is the fact that i have yet to encounter an online game that is not overly dull. i prefer AI any day. AI can be programmed to surprise me as a gamer. Humans are not capable of that. It‘s always the same behavior. And the online game modes of today couldn‘t be more boring. Thanks for nothing, Beth.

Great business model and planning by Bethesda! .. Fallout 4 has sold 13.89 million copies since its release in 2015. Right away you can probably remove at least a quarter of that figure for those who have no internet access. Then you can remove another quarter for those who simply do not like online gaming, due to poor personal experiences with trolls, immature kids messing about, cheats etc.. Out of the remaining half they will then lose sales due to gamers mainly playing other online games.. COD, PUBG, Fortnite, WOW, GTA Online, Battlefield, Overwatch, Red Dead 2.. if you have devoted time and money with these games, you will hardly stop playing and devote your time, money and efforts to a new online game, with questionable PVP gameplay, quests etc... Suddenly that near 14 million player pie is looking quite small, not including other games like Anthem, Strange Brigade, Earthfall that are soon to drop. One last thought.. look at ES Online.. the amount of players has dropped, and it is quite likely that Fallout fans are also Elder Scrolls fans, so will Fallout 76 eat away at the ESO player base? Bethesda should be worried, and probably need to watch the development costs for Fallout 76.. how many Battleborn's, Evolve's, Lawbreaker's have died horribly.

also, i don't think people realise but you don't really need a high internet speed to play online because younger me used to play online on less then 1mb download speed. just going by what it used to say on steam...is that 10Mbps?

Who cares! We're supposed to stop progress
For .001% of the poplation.

This game is a skip. Apart from that, Todd is an arrogant person who likes to blame others for his own problems.

I think the broadband problem is overblown a bit. I've always lived in rural areas, various ones over the years and never had a problem with internet access. I know it effects some people, but it's not this widespread problem in the US like some make it out to be, and the problem that does exist is rapidly disappearing.

If you don't have the internet or good enough internet to game, don't buy the game. It's pointless. I live in a rural area with less than 1000 population and I can still get internet over 100MBPS. I know it's not super fast but it's more than enough for online gaming. Although I do live in a first world country so it's kind of expected.

If your into gaming you get good internet . Goes hand in hand. Sorry but that's a fact. Ive chosen not to rent in places where the intenert is poor .
