I signed up and played 76 after the first release—you know, the one with only like 3 humans.

It was my favorite experience. Empty, beautiful, peaceful and very exciting. The ambient music is my favorite of the whole series and it really set the tone.

I liked the feeling that you and a few other people online were the only real human survivors and the bots and mutants were the only things left in the world.

That changed after people complained… I quit after some changes were made. I logged in recently and now it’s full of generic NPCs and bullet sponge enemies. Not for me anymore.

I guess I’ll never be able to go back to that feeling right after release. It really was something else.

Anybody else play the game right after it was released?

    EDIT: OH. You’re talking about No Man’s Sky. Just realized that.

    There were a ton of robots and holotapes scattered around. The map was also 4x the size of Fallout 4, so it may seem like there’s no content.

    The first quest after you exit the shelter was interesting and a good intro into the world. The Responders quests were fun and gave you a ton of recipes to use and eventually ended with the scorched massacre. That one quest you think there’s a human in a tower but it’s actually a robot and is central to a few other quests. The Brotherhood of Steel investigation quests. The quest to gain access to the Whitespring bunker and grounds. On top of that, all of the daily quests, nuke launches, meetups, 76 really offered a lot of stuff to do from day 1.

      Hahaha, both honestly, I haven’t played fallout 76 so I don’t know if it’s good or not ATM, but I’ve played a bit of no man’s sky and I liked it
