    In the UK, A few years ago they brought in an new law, If you buy a game on (DVD/Bluray) and it needs a update before it will work, You can get a full refund.

    That's pretty rediculous in this day of online games. I'd just not sell my game on physical media in the UK. :)

    How was one of the best looking games of the year allowed to be launched completely broken? That's what I want to dive into today and try and dig up the REAL reason this rocky released has happened! Let's swim into the dumpster fire!

    Fallout 76 Is Officially The Worst Game of 2018

    Published on Nov 20, 2018
    Lamon Gamon again to report the nooz, Fallout 76 is officially the worst game of 2018. With a metacritic as low as it has.. how can anyone not agree.

    I Think Bethesda Sent Me a Gift, But I Have No Idea Why or How...

    Fallout 76 is the latest game from Bethesda Studios and I have to say the've really out done themselves this time. I mean I've just never seen a video game better than this. Certainly far better than Skyrim or Fallout 3.

    Such a shame, and glad now that I cancelled my pre order. IMHO they should have made a Fallout 5 based on a location like New York and single player with NPC's and loads of quests and things to do.

    Bethesda has become a group of self-indulgent children who are beginning to self-destruct. Their approach now is that they're so incredibly accomplished that of course consumers will buy whatever they want to put out, despite the majority of the community consistently making it known what they really want.

    You guys, calm down, they just need to add a battle royale mode and the game will be a solid 10/10.
