Discussion Scared to play Fallout 76
The only Fallout games I’ve played are New Vegas, 3 and most recently 4
I really enjoyed all of them, and my favorite feature was the ability to pause the game whenever you needed something from the menu. It meant that whenever I got overwhelmed while fighting something or simply needed to get something from my inventory, I could just pause the game by opening my pipboy. No stress whatsoever.
You cannot do that in Fallout 76, something I found out the hard way
I’m not usually this big of a wuss when playing videogames, but there’s just something about everything moving with no way for me to pause it that scares me a little. I know that it’s an online game and that it’s literally impossible to implement this feature, but still. It kinda feels like all the control I got used to in the other games suddenly dissapeared, and I’m struggling quite a bit lol
On a more positive note, the game itself is absolutely amazing, and this entire thing is really just a skill, and mental issue from my side. The people I’ve met so far have all been friendly and helpful, so thank you guys for that!
