Bethesda's made announcements regarding the Fallout 76 beta, and there are some issues. The hoops people have to jump through to get in and timing may give some pause.
GamesStepping into the wild radioactive yonder of Fallout 76’s Appalachia is about to come with some new surprises! Sudden encounters with deadly beasts, mysterious cryptids and even the legendary Bigfoot await in The Backwoods, a free update for Fallout 76 available NOW for all players!
The new trailer is here with Bigfoot hunting.
A new region of the map is opening for those with enough grit to cross Point Pleasant bridge. It’s time for you to travel westward towards Burning Springs. Taking place in rural Ohio, this is our largest map expansion to Fallout 76 yet!
Should you buy knowing its a - albeit semi-creative - loot grab and asset dump?
Yeah, I said it.
Beta, the whole game.
Yeah I’m not pre ordering this and I’m a big fallout fan. I have too many mixed feeling on this. I’ll wait for the guinea pigs to test it out.
I am not because this game isn't for me I will wait for single player fallout
Making a big deal out of stuff that is common practice. Lots, if not most, now require a preorder first. (Cod’s Is this weekend, same situation)
I was actually rather surprised BFV beta is going to be open.
But cod’s beta is literally 2 months before release, BFV’s beta is a month before release.
It’s funny when you read articles that make a big deal out of something that is kinda the norm in the industry and has been for a while.
