I'm done with this game after this rift
I'm going to preface with this.
I loved Blizzard, Assassins Creed, and Fallout and would pre-order almost any one of them. Now, I look at them and I just say, "I'll wait and see how it goes after it comes out." I've stopped pre-ordering Assassins Creed after Unity. Blizzcon 2018 was my last straw with Blizzard. It should have been earlier with WoD, but I just kept having fun with friends that I had made along the way. Shadowlands is proving to be promising for now. But, again, I'm just going to wait and see. Loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas and it made me pre-order Fallout 4. It felt underwhelming in story and game play. When they announced Fallout 76, my wife and I were kind of thinking of playing it together. Best decision of our lives to not even bother. So, why am I even bothering with this?
It's all about the hype. I'm growing more numb to it with each waking game. I don't even know how I've lasted playing this game since late 2017. I haven't been excited for the new content in this game at all. I was more excited for the fixes they keep announcing that need to be fixed. But, it has always been 1 step forward, and more steps backwards every single time. "Oh, but the game is so much better than when it first came out." At the end of the day, a spoiled sandwich is a spoiled sandwich. There's nothing to make it sound more pleasing. I don't understand why I have given this company money after the Clown's release. I bought all the non-licensed characters prior to clown before they became available in the shop for shards. I wish I had waited for those 5-6 months. I've also bought all the licensed characters minus Ash (I knew MOM was going to get nerfed fast) and just enough auric cells to get the extras in the rift since then. Not a single dollar has gone towards the skins. Bought them all through shards. I'm not giving them anymore money. They would earn more if they would acknowledge how lazy they are. The concept of this game is absolutely amazing. Yet, they squander on it through mediocrity. This game could be infinitely better. I don't understand how I'm still getting hit through full pallet drops or 2-3 steps away from a window. Or, how I drop a pallet early, hear the pallet drop sound, and the stun is so delayed. I'd rather go back to P2P at this point if dedicated servers are acting like P2P when I don't have McDonald's/Starbucks wifi. I don't care about this new content coming out. The game, I also think the dev team/Matt Cote, needs a huge overhaul as all this company cares about is pumping out new content like a AAA company, and exploiting their customers through hype when they can't even make their game function properly with the new content without breaking 2-3 other things that were fixed such as the DC penalty timer being broken twice in the last 1-3 months.
