An addition to Cringetober 2022, I added this game as a few friends wanted to play it and I had, admittedly, felt quite comfortable in my new avatar too, that I was able to deal with it more than normal.
Anyway, so I start the game up. create the username and everything with a sad face (because as a fan of the series, this game is SHITE!) and then the story goes over the beginning and how the vault was designed to be the place for people to leave and start up civilisation, though, I do have issues with this far not only doing a hell of a lot of re-writing of the game's lore (because the devs are too braindead to come up with new factions) not to mention why on earth the vault was releasing dwellers one-at-a-time as it makes far more sense to send everyone up to the surface and with GECKs, but instead we get the CAMP. The ability to set up bases anywhere and essentially turn the game into something like Rust, 7 days to die or any other mundane survival game out there that we've all played about a million times.
As the time I was playing this they had released the Wastelanders update, which added NPCs. Something that people clapped about and applauded, despite this simply bringing the game closer to an actual finished state and I could see all the issues mentioned in regards to everything being replaced with audio tapes as quite a few quests were still responding to voice tapes and some were also conflicting because of the Wastelanders update.
I remember vividly looking up information on this person who was a part of the group of emergency services survivors who were working together after the bombs fell and were trying to patch up the rest of the living population.
The problem is that I then saw her walking around! This wasn't a player, this was meant to be the same character, even though I recently found and dug up her grave! Even when they try to fix their own shit, they can't help but mess up their own game lore!
Like any game, it can be fun to play with friends and one of them unironically enjoys it, though personally I couldn't shake the stink off and things were worse in the second stream when I actually took a look at their disgusting microtransaction store! Despite initial promises, you can buy items that affect gameplay in regards to turrets you can't get in the game, repair kits and so much more that how anyone could've believed this wouldn't be the case, I can't wrap my head around.
Due to all of these elements, especially the manipulative microtransaction store that slaps you in the face everytime you load the game up, I cannot recommend this to anyone. It's such a big insult that it reminds me of the PS2 game, Brotherhood of Steel which had plenty of insulting moments in it as it was.
