Lets see how well this age. People said the same about 76 and Bethesda didn't give up on it.

I played fo76 when it had a free weekend and I really didn't like it at all. I guess it's good that people enjoy it, but I thought it kind of stunk.

It takes a bit to get going, but we've put a lot of hours into it. But for online game, it's achieved what it set out to do. The story can be hit or miss but it has a boat load of it so overall it's super enjoyable due to the usual fallout world building.

Damn. I know you meant well, but you sound like a project manager of a feature on an insurance website and the minimum viable product was kinda janky and you are trying to soften the blow to the team during the lessons learned meeting.

But this is a video game. For relaxation and recreation. With lots of competition in the market. What you wrote is more of a condemnation than any hyperbolic gamer nerd rant.

Early on I had an experience where a pack of dogs came at me while I was fumbling around in my menus. I was like fresh out of the vault in a jumpsuit. They bit me so many times, and I didn't die. Or suffer any consequences.

Feeling like it was all paper tigers really soured me on the experience. Some people probably like that and don't want a game where you can be defeated. That's not usually my jam though.
